FDA approves Wyeth’s Xyntha for hemophilia A

Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, a division of Wyeth has received approval from the FDA for Xyntha for patients with hemophilia A.

Xyntha is a recombinant antihemophilic factor used for both the control and prevention of bleeding episodes and surgical prophylaxis. Xyntha is considered as the only recombinant factor VIII product to utilize an entirely synthetic (non- human and non-animal based) purification process in its manufacture.

Robert Ruffolo, Jr. president, Wyeth research, and senior vice president of Wyeth, said: “Xyntha is important for hemophilia A patients because it establishes a new standard in recombinant factor VIII product purification technology.”
