Availability & biosimilar status
Biologics have no small-molecule generics; biosimilar competition is tracked in the FDA Purple Book.
Why the date isn’t exact: Biosimilar timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added or removed, and litigation can move the real date earlier or later.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Biologic patent
- A patent the reference product’s maker has publicly listed. A biosimilar generally can’t launch until these expire — unless they’re invalidated or resolved in a settlement.
- Reference-product exclusivity
- A flat 12 years of FDA market protection from the biologic’s first licensure (the BPCIA). No biosimilar can be licensed before it ends, regardless of patents.
- Interchangeable exclusivity
- The first interchangeable biosimilar can earn a period as the only interchangeable version (pharmacists can substitute it without the prescriber).
- Earliest biosimilar (LOE)
- The latest of all the dates above — the soonest a biosimilar can realistically reach the market. Litigation and settlements can move it earlier.
Biologics have no small-molecule “generics” — competition comes from FDA-licensed biosimilars, tracked in the FDA Purple Book.
| Code | What it grants | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| RefProduct | Reference-product exclusivity (12-year, BPCIA) — no biosimilar can be licensed before this date | Feb 17, 2023 |

Corifact is indicated for routine prophylactic treatment of congenital Factor XIII (FXIII) deficiency. The effectiveness of Corifact is based on maintaining a trough FXIII activity level of approximately 5% to 20%. There are no controlled trials demonstrating a direct benefit on treatment of bleeding episodes with Corifact ( 1 ).
⏱️ Dosage and Administration ▾
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For intravenous use only. Reconstitute prior to use. Initial Dose ( 2.2 ) 40 International Units (units) per kg body weight Administer at a rate not to exceed 4 mL per minute Subsequent Dosing ( 2.2 ) Dosing should be guided by the most recent trough FXIII activity level, with dosing every 28 days (4 weeks) to maintain a trough level of approximately 5% to 20%.
Recommended dosing adjustments of ±5 units per kg should be based on trough FXIII activity levels of <5% or >20%, and the patient's clinical condition. Dosing adjustments should be guided based on a specific assay used to determine FXIII levels. An example of dose adjustment using the Berichrom ® activity assay is outlined in Table 1 below.
Dose Adjustment Using the Berichrom Activity Assay ( 2.2 , Table 1) FXIII Activity Trough Level (%) Dosage Change One trough level of <5% Increase by 5 units per kg Trough level of 5% to 20% No change Two trough levels of >20% Decrease by 5 units per kg One trough level of >25% Decrease by 5 units per kg Preparation and Reconstitution ( 2.3 ) Store vial in original carton and in a refrigerator at 2-8°C (36-46°F). Do not freeze. Reconstitute Corifact prior to use with 20 mL of Sterile Water for Injection, USP.
Administration ( 2.4 ) Do not mix with other medicinal products. Administer through a separate infusion line.
2.1Dosage Corifact dosing regimen should be individualized based on body weight, laboratory values, and the patient's clinical condition.
2.2Dosing Schedule Initial dose 40 International Units (units) per kg body weight The injection rate should not exceed 4 mL per minute. Subsequent dosing Dosing should be guided by the most recent trough FXIII activity level, with dosing every 28 days (4 weeks) to maintain a trough FXIII activity level of approximately 5% to 20%. 1 Recommended dosing adjustments of ±5 units per kg should be based on trough FXIII activity levels as shown in Table 1 and the patient's clinical condition ( see Pharmacokinetics [12.3] ).
Dosing adjustments should be guided based on a specific assay used to determine FXIII levels. An example of dose adjustment using the Berichrom activity assay is outlined in Table 1 below. Table 1: Dose Adjustment Using the Berichrom Activity Assay Factor XIII Activity Trough Level (%) Dosage Change One trough level of <5% Increase by 5 units per kg Trough level of 5% to 20% No change Two trough levels of >20% Decrease by 5 units per kg One trough level of >25% Decrease by 5 units per kg The potency expressed in units is determined using the Berichrom activity assay, referenced to the current International Standard for Blood Coagulation Factor XIII, Plasma.

⛔ Contraindications ▾
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS Corifact is contraindicated in patients with known anaphylactic or severe systemic reactions to human plasma-derived products or to any components in Corifact ( see Description [11] ). Corifact is contraindicated in patients with known anaphylactic or severe systemic reactions to human plasma-derived products or to any components in Corifact ( 4 ).
⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity reactions may occur. If necessary, discontinue administration and institute appropriate treatment ( 5.1 ). Inhibitory antibodies have been detected in patients receiving Corifact.
If expected FXIII activity levels are not attained, or if breakthrough bleeding occurs while receiving prophylaxis treatment, an assay that measures FXIII inhibitory antibody concentrations should be performed ( 5.2 ). Thrombotic events have been reported in patients receiving Corifact. Weigh the benefits of the administration versus the risks of thrombosis ( 5.3 ).
Corifact is made from human blood and may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents, e.g., viruses, and theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent ( 5.4 ).
5.1Hypersensitivity Hypersensitivity reactions (including allergy, rash, pruritus, and erythema) have been observed with Corifact. If signs or symptoms of anaphylaxis or hypersensitivity reactions (including urticaria, rash, tightness of the chest, wheezing, hypotension) occur, immediately discontinue administration ( see Patient Counseling Information [17] ) and institute appropriate treatment.
5.2Immunogenicity Development of inhibitory antibodies against FXIII has been detected in patients receiving Corifact. Monitor patients for possible development of inhibitory antibodies. Presence of inhibitory antibodies may manifest as an inadequate response to treatment.
If expected plasma FXIII activity levels are not attained, or if breakthrough bleeding occurs while receiving prophylaxis, an assay that measures FXIII inhibitory antibody concentrations should be performed. One case of inhibitory antibodies against FXIII has been reported in the clinical studies (see Clinical Trials Experience [6.1] ). Cases of inhibitory antibodies against FXIII in patients with congenital FXIII deficiency have also been reported in postmarketing surveillance.
5.3Thromboembolic Risk Thromboembolic complications have been reported in postmarketing surveillance ( see Postmarketing Experience [6.2] ). Benefits and risks should be carefully assessed in pregnant women because of their hypercoagulable state and potential for increased risk of thromboembolic events.
5.4Transmission of Infectious Agents Corifact is made from human plasma. Because this product is made from human blood, it may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents, e.g., viruses, and theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent. There is also the possibility that unknown infectious agents may be present in such products.
The risk that such products could transmit viruses has been reduced by screening plasma donors for prior exposure to certain viruses, by testing for the presence of certain current virus infections, and by inactivating and removing certain viruses during manufacture ( see Description [11] ). Despite these measures, such products may still potentially transmit disease. Consider appropriate vaccination (against hepatitis A and B virus) for patients in regular/repeated receipt of Corifact.
All infections thought by a physician to have been possibly transmitted by this product should be reported by the physician or other healthcare provider to the CSL Behring Pharmacovigilance Department at 1-866-915-6958 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch .
5.5Monitoring Laboratory Tests Monitoring of patient's trough FXIII activity level ( see Dosing Schedule [2.2] ) is recommended during treatment with Corifact. If breakthrough bleeding occurs, or if expected peak plasma FXIII activity levels are not attained ( see Pharmacokinetics [12.3] ), an investigation to determine the presence of FXIII inhibitory antibodies should be performed.
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reactions reported in clinical trials in greater than one subject (frequency >1%) following Corifact treatment are hypersensitivity reactions (including allergy, rash, pruritus, and erythema), chills/rise in temperature, arthralgia, headache, elevated thrombin-antithrombin levels, and an increase in hepatic enzymes. Adverse reactions are those adverse events (AEs) considered to be "at least possibly related" to the infusion of Corifact. The most common adverse reactions reported in Corifact clinical studies, in greater than one subject (frequency >1%), are hypersensitivity reactions (including allergy, rash, pruritus, and erythema), chills/rise in temperature, arthralgia, headache, elevated thrombin-antithrombin levels, and an increase in hepatic enzymes ( 6 ).
Neutralizing antibodies against FXIII were reported in a clinical study ( 6.1 ). To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact the CSL Behring Pharmacovigilance Department at 1-866-915-6958 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch .
6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Twelve clinical studies were conducted and included 187 unique subjects, 90 subjects were <16 years of age ( see Pediatric Use [8.4] ). These 187 subjects received a total of approximately 3930 infusions of Corifact.
The most common adverse events reported in clinical trials in greater than three subjects (frequency >2%) are flu-like syndrome, abdominal pain, diarrhea, contusion, joint injury, limb injury, road traffic accident, upper respiratory tract infection, arthralgia, headache, epistaxis, vomiting, fever, hematoma, head injury, and rash. Adverse events (AEs) are defined as treatment-emergent AEs that started after the first Corifact study infusion. In the 12-week prospective, open-label, multicenter, pharmacokinetic and safety study conducted in 7 females and 7 males with congenital FXIII deficiency, ranging in age from 5 to 42 years (3 children, 2 adolescents, and 9 adults), there were no reports of deaths, life-threatening events, or adverse events that led to discontinuation or withdrawal from the study.
No breakthrough bleeding episodes were reported in this study. A case of neutralizing antibodies against FXIII was reported in the ongoing postmarketing clinical study. The patient received prophylactic treatment with Corifact for ten years.
Concomitant medications included interferon for hepatitis C infection. This patient presented with bruising, and post-infusion FXIII levels were found to be lower than expected. Over several weeks, FXIII recovery values decreased, so the dose and frequency of treatments were increased.
Neutralizing antibodies to FXIII were detected, interferon treatment was discontinued, and the subject underwent plasmapheresis. Within a month, neutralizing antibodies were no longer detectable, FXIII recovery levels improved, and the previous prophylactic regimen was resumed.
6.2Postmarketing Experience Because postmarketing reporting of adverse reactions is voluntary and from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate the frequency of these reactions or establish a causal relationship to product exposure. The adverse reactions spontaneously reported after administration of Corifact during postmarketing surveillance outside the US since 1993, identified by system organ class are provided in Table 2.

👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pediatric: Shorter half-life and faster clearance (after adjusting for per kg body weight) than in adults have been observed. These results are difficult to interpret because of the limited number of subjects (n=5) ( 8.4 ).
8.1Pregnancy Pregnancy Category C. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Corifact. Safety and effectiveness in pregnancy have not been established. Corifact should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed ( see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS/Thromboembolic Risk [5.3] ).
8.2Labor and Delivery Corifact has not been studied for use during labor and delivery. Safety and effectiveness in labor and delivery have not been established.
8.3Nursing Mothers It is not known whether Corifact is excreted in human milk. Use Corifact only if clearly needed when treating nursing women.
8.4Pediatric Use Of the 187 unique subjects in the Corifact clinical studies, 90 were subjects <16 years of age at the time of enrollment (<1 month, n=2; 1 month to <2 years, n=14; 2 to 11 years, n=52; 12 to <16 years, n=22). In the pharmacokinetic study ( see Pharmacokinetics [12.3] ), 5 of the 14 subjects ranged in age from 2 to <16 years. Subjects less than 16 years had a shorter half-life (5.7 ± 1.00 days) and faster clearance (0.29 ± 0.12 mL/hr/kg) compared to adults (half-life: 7.1 ± 2.74 days, clearance: 0.22 ± 0.07 mL/hr/kg).
The number of subjects less than 16 years of age limits the statistical interpretation. There were no apparent differences in the safety profile in children as compared to adults. All pediatric subjects were treated for congenital Factor XIII deficiency.
8.5Geriatric Use The safety and efficacy of Corifact in the geriatric population have not been established due to an insufficient number of subjects.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Corifact (FXIII) is an endogenous plasma glycoprotein consisting of two A-subunits and two B-subunits. FXIII circulates in blood and is present in platelets, monocytes, and macrophages. FXIII appears in 2 forms, a heterotetrameric (A 2 B 2 ) plasma protein with a molecular weight of about 320 kilodaltons and a homodimeric (A 2 ) cellular form.
FXIII is a proenzyme that is activated, in the presence of calcium ion, by thrombin cleavage of the A-subunit to become activated FXIII (FXIIIa). Intracellularly, the homodimeric form of only the A-subunits (A 2 ) is found. The B-subunits in plasma have no enzymatic activity, and function as carrier molecules for the A-subunits.
They stabilize the structure of the A-subunits and protect them from proteolysis. FXIIIa promotes cross-linking of fibrin during coagulation and is essential to the physiological protection of the clot against fibrinolysis. FXIIIa is a transglutaminase enzyme that catalyzes the cross-linking of the fibrin α- and γ-chains for fibrin stabilization and renders the fibrin clot more elastic and resistant to fibrinolysis.
2,3 FXIIIa also cross-links α 2 -plasmin inhibitor to the α-chain of fibrin, resulting in protection of the fibrin clot from degradation by plasmin. Cross-linked fibrin is the end result of the coagulation cascade, and provides tensile strength to a primary hemostatic platelet plug. 3
12.2Pharmacodynamics In clinical studies, the intravenous administration of Corifact demonstrated an increase in plasma levels of FXIII lasting approximately 28 days. In the pharmacokinetic study, after the third 40 units per kg dose (steady state), the mean increase in FXIII activity levels was 83% with a range of 48 to 114% over the baseline ( see Pharmacokinetics [12.3] ).
12.3Pharmacokinetics A 12-week prospective, open-label, multicenter pharmacokinetic and safety study was conducted in 7 females and 7 males with congenital FXIII deficiency, ranging in age from 5 to 42 years (3 children, 2 adolescents, 9 adults). One adult male did not complete the pharmacokinetic study. Each subject received 40 units per kg Corifact intravenously every 28 days for a total of three doses administered at approximately 250 units per min.
Blood samples for doses 1 and 2 were drawn from patients to determine the FXIII activity level at baseline and 30 and 60 minutes after the infusion. Following the infusion of the third dose of Corifact, blood samples were drawn at regular intervals up to 28 days to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters. The pharmacokinetic parameters based on baseline adjusted FXIII activity (Berichrom assay) are shown in Table 4.

11 DESCRIPTION Corifact is a heat-treated, lyophilized FXIII (coagulation factor XIII) concentrate made from pooled human plasma. Each vial contains 1000-1600 units FXIII, 120 to 200 mg human albumin, 120 to 320 mg total protein, 80 to 120 mg glucose and 140 to 220 mg sodium chloride. Sodium hydroxide may have been used to adjust the pH.
All plasma used in the manufacture of Corifact is obtained from US donors and is tested using serological assays for hepatitis B surface antigen and antibodies to HIV-1/2 and HCV. The plasma is tested with Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT) for HCV, HIV-1, HAV and HBV and found to be non-reactive (negative), and the plasma is also tested by NAT for Human Parvovirus B19. Only plasma that passed virus screening is used for production, and the limit for Parvovirus B19 in the fractionation pool is set not to exceed 10 4 International Units of Parvovirus B19 DNA per mL.
Corifact is manufactured from cryo-depleted plasma into an ethanol precipitate, which is then purified by precipitation/adsorption, ion exchange chromatography and heat-treatment (+60°C for 10 hours in an aqueous solution) steps. The sterile filtered final bulk solution is filled into vials and lyophilized. Three manufacturing steps were independently validated in a series of in vitro experiments for their capacity to inactivate or remove both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses.

💬 Information for Patients ▾
17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Inform patients of the signs and symptoms of allergic hypersensitivity reactions, such as urticaria, rash, tightness of the chest, wheezing, hypotension and/or anaphylaxis experienced during or after injection of Corifact ( see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS/Hypersensitivity [5.1] ). Inform patients of the signs and symptoms of immunogenicity such as breakthrough bleeding ( see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS/Immunogenicity [5.2] ) . Inform patients of signs and symptoms of thrombosis, such as limb or abdomen swelling and/or pain, chest pain, shortness of breath, loss of sensation or motor power, altered consciousness, vision, or speech ( see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS/Thromboembolic Risk [5.3] ) .
Inform patients that because Corifact is made from human blood, it may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents, e.g., viruses, and theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent ( see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS/Transmission of Infectious Agents [5.4] and Description [11] ). FDA-Approved Patient Labeling – Patient Product Information (PPI) is provided following this section.
🍼 Nursing Mothers ▾
8.3Nursing Mothers It is not known whether Corifact is excreted in human milk. Use Corifact only if clearly needed when treating nursing women.
🧬 Pharmacokinetics ▾
12.3Pharmacokinetics A 12-week prospective, open-label, multicenter pharmacokinetic and safety study was conducted in 7 females and 7 males with congenital FXIII deficiency, ranging in age from 5 to 42 years (3 children, 2 adolescents, 9 adults). One adult male did not complete the pharmacokinetic study. Each subject received 40 units per kg Corifact intravenously every 28 days for a total of three doses administered at approximately 250 units per min.
Blood samples for doses 1 and 2 were drawn from patients to determine the FXIII activity level at baseline and 30 and 60 minutes after the infusion. Following the infusion of the third dose of Corifact, blood samples were drawn at regular intervals up to 28 days to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters. The pharmacokinetic parameters based on baseline adjusted FXIII activity (Berichrom assay) are shown in Table 4.
Table 4: Pharmacokinetic Parameters (n=13) by Berichrom Assay Method - Baseline Adjusted Values Parameters Mean ±SD AUC ss (0-inf) = Area under the plasma concentration curve from time 0 to infinity at steady state C ss, max : Peak concentration at steady state C ss, min : Trough concentration at steady state T max : Time to peak concentration CL: Clearance V ss : Volume of distribution at steady state MRT = Mean residence time SD = Standard deviation AUC ss, 0-inf (units∙hr/mL) 184.0 ±65.78 C ss, max (units/mL) 100% activity corresponds to 1 unit/mL 0.9 ±0.20 C ss, min (units/mL) 0.05 ±0.05 T max (hr) 1.7 ±1.44 Half-life [days] 6.6 ±2.29 CL [mL/hr/kg] 0.25 ±0.09 V ss [mL/kg] 51.1 ±12.61 MRT [days] 10.0 ±3.45 Due to the small sample size, the impact of age, gender, and race on the pharmacokinetics of Corifact could not be reliably evaluated.
🧬 Pharmacodynamics ▾
12.2Pharmacodynamics In clinical studies, the intravenous administration of Corifact demonstrated an increase in plasma levels of FXIII lasting approximately 28 days. In the pharmacokinetic study, after the third 40 units per kg dose (steady state), the mean increase in FXIII activity levels was 83% with a range of 48 to 114% over the baseline ( see Pharmacokinetics [12.3] ).
🔬 Clinical Studies ▾
14 CLINICAL STUDIES The pharmacokinetic study evaluated three doses at 40 units per kg every 28 days for each subject ( see Pharmacokinetics [12.3] ) . Blood sampling before and after infusion for the first two doses was to determine FXIII activity and a complete PK analysis was conducted after the third dose (steady state). FXIII activity levels were determined by the Berichrom activity assay.
Maintaining the FXIII activity trough level between 5% and 20% is predicted to provide a clinical benefit. The clinical benefit will be verified in a post-marketing study to measure the prevention of spontaneous bleeding episodes with routine prophylactic treatment for patients with congenital FXIII deficiency. Dosing will be individualized and adjusted with the objective to maintain FXIII activity trough levels of 5% to 20%.
🧪 Nonclinical Toxicology ▾
13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
13.2Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology Corifact was studied in an acute toxicity study in mice and rats at doses up to 3550 units per kg and 1420 units per kg, respectively. Repeat dose toxicity was studied in rats at daily doses up to 350 units per kg for a period of 14 days. No signs of toxicity were observed in the single dose and repeat dose studies.
A local tolerance study demonstrated no clinical or histopathological changes at the injection site after intravenous, intra-arterial or para-venous administration of Corifact to rabbits. A thrombogenicity test was performed in rabbits at doses up to 350 units per kg. Corifact showed no thrombogenic potential at the doses tested.
