REBINYN is available in single-dose vials containing the labeled amount of Factor IX activity, expressed in IU. Each vial contains nominally 500 IU, 1000 IU, 2000, or 3000 IU. REBINYN potency is assigned using an in vitro , activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)-based, one-stage clotting assay calibrated against the World Health Organization (WHO) international standard for Factor IX concentrates. REBINYN contains no preservatives. REBINYN is a purified recombinant human Factor IX (rFIX) with a 40 kilodalton (kDa) polyethylene-glycol (PEG) conjugated to the protein. The 40 kDa PEG group is selectively attached to specific -N-linked glycans in the rFIX activation peptide, with mono-PEGylated rFIX as the predominant form of REBINYN. The rFIX protein in REBINYN consists of a gamma-carboxylated (Gla) domain, two EGF-like (epidermal growth factor) domains, an activation peptide (which is cleaved off upon activation), and a protease domain. Once activated, the resulting rFIX has structural and functional properties similar to those of endogenous activated Factor IX. The primary amino acid sequence in REBINYN is identical to the Thr148 allelic form of human plasma-derived Factor IX and consists of 415 amino acids. The average molecular weight of REBINYN is approximately 98 kDa and the molecular weight of the protein moiety alone is 56 kDa. The nominal specific activity of REBINYN is 144 IU/mg protein. REBINYN is produced by recombinant DNA technology in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. No additives of human or animal origin are used in the cell culture, purification, conjugation, or formulation of REBINYN. The rFIX protein is purified by a series of chromatographic steps, including an affinity chromatography step using a monoclonal antibody (produced in CHO cells), to selectively isolate rFIX from the cell culture medium. The production process includes two dedicated viral clearance steps, namely a detergent treatment step for inactivation and a 20 nm filtration step for removal of viruses. The conjugation of the PEG-group is done by an enzymatic reaction during the purification process, followed by final purification of REBINYN.
