Early experience with the use of anti-inhibitor coagulant complex to treat bleeding in hemophiliacs with inhibitors to factor VIII.

Early clinical experience with anti-inhibitor coagulant complex in the treatment of bleeding in patients with factor VIII inhibitors is described. Sixty patients with a total of 120 bleeding episodes were studied. Satisfactory responses were obtained in 86.6% of bleeding episodes. Efficacy was slightly better in open bleeding than in closed bleeding. Higher doses were significantly better than lower doses in treating open bleeding. The incidence of adverse reactions was low. The results reported support the safety and efficacy of anti-inhibitor coagulant complex in the treatment of bleeding in patients with factor VIII inhibitors.

Worldwide method effectiveness of the Today vaginal contraceptive sponge.

The Today vaginal contraceptive sponge is made of polyurethane and contains 1 gram of the spermicide nonoxynol-9. Following preclinical and phase I and II clinical trials, extensive worldwide phase III trials were conducted. These multiclinic trials were conducted according to a common protocol with regularly scheduled follow-up visits and examinations. The cumulative first year method effectiveness rate (life table) was 90 per 100 women. The second year rate was 97 per 100 women. No statistically significant difference was found in method failures between nulliparous and parous women. No serious complications occurred in over 1000 women-years of sponge use.
