How does Esperoct dosing compare to other factor VIII treatments?
The dosing regimen for Esperoct is designed to provide extended half-life compared to some conventional factor VIII concentrates. This extended half-life allows for less frequent dosing in routine prophylaxis, potentially simplifying treatment for patients [1].
