| The terminal phase half-life of Recombinant Antihemophilic Factor (rAHF-PFM) | Within 30 minutes prior to the pharmacokinetic infusion and at 1 hour ± 5 minutes, 9 ± 1 hour, 24 ± 2 hours, and 48 ± 2 hours after the infusion | Terminal phase half-life of rAHF-PFM was to be determined using the biphasic linear regression model. |
