FDA Grants Orphan Drug Designation to COAGADEX for Rare Bleeding Disorder

Kedrion Biopharma has received Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) from the U.S. FDA for Coagulation Factor X (human)—marketed as COAGADEX—for the treatment of acquired Factor X Deficiency (aFXD), a rare bleeding disorder affecting fewer than 1 in 1,000,000 people globally.

Additionally, the FDA has issued a “Study May Proceed” letter to begin a clinical trial assessing COAGADEX in active bleeding episodes and perioperative bleeding management in patients with aFXD associated with AL amyloidosis.

About COAGADEX

  • A plasma-derived coagulation factor concentrate
  • Approved in 38 countries for:
    • Routine prophylaxis to reduce bleeding frequency
    • On-demand treatment and control of bleeding episodes
    • Perioperative bleeding management
  • Indicated for hereditary Factor X deficiency in adults and children

Details of the New FDA-Approved Trial

  • Target: Patients with aFXD caused by AL amyloidosis
  • Mechanism: Amyloid fibrils bind Factor X, shortening its half-life and increasing bleeding risk
  • Objective: To evaluate whether COAGADEX can restore hemostasis in this patient group

Trial features:

  • First site activation underway
  • Includes patients with moderate to severe aFXD (FX:C levels <50%)

Leadership Commentary

  • Bob Rossilli, Chief Commercial Officer at Kedrion Biopharma.

“This trial is pivotal for expanding COAGADEX’s reach beyond hereditary FXD. We're pushing forward precision treatment in rare bleeding disorders.”

  • Nisha Jain, VP, Global Clinical Development and Strategy.
