Frequently asked questions

Q. Is there a limit to the number of patients who can enroll in the ReFacto Trial Prescription Program?
A. Yes. Wyeth has a limited number of enrollment forms available for each hemophilia treatment center (HTC) or health care professional. This number is based on the percentage of hemophilia A patients in the United States served by that particular HTC or health care professional. This allows equal access for patients to try the product and for health care professionals to gain clinical experience with it.
Q. How much of the product will patients receive during the ReFacto Trial Prescription Program, and what is the duration of therapy?
A. Patients enrolled in the program will receive approximately a 1- to 2-month supply of free ReFacto. The exact amount of ReFacto supplied under the program is based on the patient's age:
  • <1 to 5 years: 5000 IU
  • 6 to 11 years: 10,000 IU
  • 12 years and older: 20,000 IU
Q. Can a patient enroll more than once in the program?
A. No. Patients may enroll only once in the program.
Q. How will patient confidentiality be maintained?
A. The names of individuals who enroll in the ReFacto Trial Prescription Program will not be shared with Wyeth, except in the event of an audit, and will be used only by Dendrite, the Program Administrator, to arrange for product shipment.
Q. Are more enrollment forms available if the supply runs out?
A. Yes, you can contact your local sales representative for enrollment forms, but there is a limited number of forms for each HTC or health care professional.
