New Data for Two Leading Haemophilia Medicines -- AFSTYLA® and IDELVION® -- to be Presented at the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis Congress 2017

MARBURG, Germany, July 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- CSL Behring announced today that it will present new data from its recombinant coagulation factor development programs at the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) Congress 2017 in Berlin, Germany, July 8 – 13, 2017.

Six poster presentations and a satellite symposium will add to the growing body of evidence demonstrating the safety and efficacy of AFSTYLA^® [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), Single Chain]. AFSTYLA (also known as rVIII-SingleChain), CSL Behring's novel recombinant factor VIII single-chain therapy for haemophilia A, is approved in the European Union, United States, Canada, Switzerland and Australia.

Seven posters and a satellite symposium will highlight new IDELVION^® [Coagulation Factor IX (Recombinant), Albumin Fusion Protein] data. IDELVION (also known as rIX-FP), CSL Behring's novel, long-acting recombinant factor IX albumin fusion protein for haemophilia B, is approved in the European Union, United States, Canada, Switzerland, Australia and Japan.

Haemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder caused by deficient or defective proteins that prevent the blood from clotting properly. Patients with haemophilia may experience acute and chronic traumatic or spontaneous bleeding, especially into the muscles, joints or internal organs. According to the World Federation of Hemophilia, the condition affects 1 in 10,000 people, most of whom have haemophilia A.

"Our presence at this year's ISTH Congress will be one of the largest to-date focusing on new clinical findings for AFSTYLA and IDELVION," said Dr. Andrew Cuthbertson, Chief Scientific Officer and Director of R&D, CSL Behring. "As a part of our promise to develop and reliably deliver safe, effective therapies that improve patients' lives, we're excited to share new findings showing the safety, efficacy and other related benefits of these novel recombinant therapies."

Additional presentations and symposia will discuss the company's investigational recombinant VWF D'D3 albumin fusion protein (rD'D3-FP) for haemophilia A, the long-acting fusion protein linking recombinant coagulation factor VIIa with recombinant albumin (rVIIa-FP) for haemophilia A or B with inhibitors, and a 4 factor prothrombin complex concentrate (4F-PCC) to reverse the effects of warfarin.
