Safety supported by clinical experience.
NovoSeven® RT is a recombinant product, meaning it is made without human blood or plasma. This minimizes the possibility of viral contamination. NovoSeven® RT is the only recombinant therapy indicated for GT.c And its safety is supported by real-world evidence, with a <0.2% rate of unexpected blood clots reported.d
Serious blood clots that form in veins and arteries with the use of NovoSeven® RT have been reported.
cIn patients with refractoriness to platelet transfusions, with or without antibodies to platelets.
dThrombotic events reported for people with GT based on registry data collected.
Fast to infuse.
NovoSeven® RT provides low infusion volume, so infusing takes 2 to 5 minutes.e NovoSeven® RT is given as an intravenous (IV) bolus injection.
eAdminister as a slow bolus injection over 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the dose administered.

What if I need surgery or a procedure?
We understand that you have concerns about controlling bleeds if you ever need surgery or a procedure. The good news is that NovoSeven® RT prevents bleeds during and after surgery and procedures in people with GT.
Talk to your doctor for more information on the surgical use of NovoSeven® RT.
About Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia (GT).
What is GT?
There are proteins on the platelets that help your blood clot properly. One type of these proteins is a glycoprotein called IIb/IIIa, which helps platelets connect to each other. Those platelets stick together to form a "plug" that stops a bleed. Someone with GT has specific defective glycoprotein IIb/IIIa. This means the platelets cannot form a plug to stop a bleed.
Who gets GT?
GT is a rare genetic disorder that affects about 1 in 1 million people. It is inherited from both parents and can occur in both men and women.
What are the signs of GT?
Those with GT mainly have skin and mucous membrane types of bleeding. The most common signs of GT include:
- Easy bruising
- Bleeding from the nose or gums
- Heavy menstruation
Other signs and symptoms include:
- Excessive bleeding after trauma or surgery
- Excessive bleeding after dental extractions
What are some treatments for GT?
One treatment option for GT is platelet transfusion; some patients who receive platelet transfusions may develop antibodies and become resistant. You may be able to use a bypassing agent to control your bleeds if platelets do not work for you.
