Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is a known complication of high-dose cyclophosphamide chemotherapy. 1 Approximately 5% of patients undergoing stem cell transplantation (SCT) develop severe HC, which may lead to urinary obstruction, acute renal failure, hydronephrosis, bladder perforation and death. 2 Treatment of patients with HC is frequently unsatisfactory, and mainly consists of supportive measures. 1High-dose activated recombinant factor VII (rFVIIa/NovoSeven, NovoNordisk A/S, Bagsværd, Denmark) is a hemostatic agent approved for the treatment of bleeding episodes in hemophilia A or B patients with inhibitors. rFVIIa has been evaluated as a pro-hemostatic agent in a variety of other hemorrhagic conditions, 3 including hemorrhage in the setting of SCT. 4–6 We report the result of a pilot study to test the efficacy of rFVIIa in HC. Eligible study subjects were between 18 and 65 years of age with severe HC (defined as uncontrolled hematuria with urinary clots and suprapubic pain, with prior exposure to cyclophosphamide or ifosfamide, and without evidence of urinary tract infection), who were unresponsive to (i) optimization of hemostatic parameters and (ii) a trial of at least 24h of continuous bladder irrigation (CBI). Patients were excluded if they had (a) overt disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC);(b) myocardial infarction within the previous 3 months, or unstable angina;(c) recent stroke;(d) recent central venous access device-related thrombus;(e) hepatic veno-occlusive disease;(f) history of spontaneous deep vein thrombosis;(g) positive blood culture within the last 7 days;(h) allergic reaction to rFVIIa;(i) pregnancy;(j) topical or systemic antifibrinolytic agents administered in the last 24h or (k) concurrent granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor or high-dose estrogen therapy. rFVIIa in the dose range of 5–120mcg/kg has been employed in the management of various hemorrhagic conditions and has an elimination half-life of about 3h. 3 Therefore, we elected to administer an initial dose of 80mcg/kg intravenously (iv) followed by up to two additional doses of rFVIIa 120mcg/kg iv administered 3h apart, if hematuria persisted. All subjects continued standardized gravity-driven high flow CBI. Subjects could receive platelet transfusion 1 h before, and 9 h following the first dose of rFVIIa, but not during the interim. The efficacy of rFVIIa was evaluated by photographically
