Medical - Medical (general) / clinical study for patients with hemophilia A
English term or phrase: prestudy FVIII
At Baseline and at Day 1, subjects in the PK group will receive a single IV injection of prestudy FVIII and rFVIIIFc, respectively, over 5 (±2) minutes at a dose of 50 IU/kg.
[Why it is called "prestudy FVIII", although it is also administered during the study, here at Day 1, and not prior to the study?]

prestudy FVIII
Explanation:
I have thought of a few possibilities and hopefully you have context elsewhere that would help decide whether any of these may apply.

1) Prestudy FVIII = the same brand of FVIII (and maybe rFVIIIFc, depending on whether prestudy qualifies just FVIII or both) that the patient was using before study participation.

2) If 'prestudy' only qualifies the baseline injection, they may consider that the study starts just after this injection on day 0. The injection on day 1 is not a prestudy treatment.

3) Could this be day 0 and day 1 of a run-in period, rather than the study treatment period?

agree  Charles Davis: I think "respectively" shows that option 2 applies; it means that prestudy FVIII is injected at Baseline and rFVIIIFc at Day 1.
