Recombinant factor VIII for the prevention of bleeding in women/girls with haemophilia A undergoing major surgery
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Women/girls with haemophilia A (FVIII:C ≥1-<40%) according to medical history. Additionally, women/girls with documented FVIII activity levels between ≥ 40% and 50% may be included if there is a documented history of clinically significant bleeding episodes consistent with haemophilia A; and/or either documented prior treatment with FVIII concentrates or a clinical indication that FVIII treatment would have been appropriate (e.g., use of FVIII from a family member, or treatment with alternative haemostatic agents due to access limitations)
At least 12 years of age
Scheduled to undergo major surgery* requiring FVIII treatment, including elective and emergency procedures and caesarean section in pregnant women with haemophilia A
Freely given written informed consent of the patient, or parent/legal representative where applicable, obtained in accordance with local regulations

Present or past FVIII inhibitor (≥0.6 Bethesda units [BU]/mL)
Severe liver or kidney disease (alanine aminotransferase [ALT] and/or aspartate aminotransferase [AST] levels >5 times the upper limit of normal; or creatinine >120 μmol/L)
Known hypersensitivity to Nuwiq's active substance or its excipients (sucrose, sodium chloride, calcium chloride dihydrate, arginine hydrochloride, sodium citrate dihydrate, poloxamer 188)
