- Background
Nonacog beta pegol is a recombinant coagulation factor IX derivative. It is produced without animal-derived materials and with an attached 40kDa polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecule for peptide activation by a site-directed glycoPEGylation. Once activated, the activation molecule with PEG is cleaved to leave the activated factor IX (Factor IXa). Nonacog beta pegol was developed by Novo Nordisk and received its first global approval by the FDA on May 31, 2017, followed by the European Commission approval on June 2, 2017. Nonacog beta pegol was approved by Health Canada on November 29, 2017.
