Abstract
It has been discovered that it is possible to administer truncated tissue factor, not having the transmembrane region (tTF) in combination with factor VIIa (FVIIa) to treat bleeding disorders such as those resulting from hemophilia or cirrhosis of the liver. Preferably, the tTF is administered to produce up to 10 .mu.g tTF/ml of plasma. The FVIIa is administered to produce levels of between 40 ng FVIIa/ml and 4 .mu.g FVIIa/ml of plasma. The effective dosages of both tTF and FVIIa are significantly and surprisingly less than the administration of either alone to stop bleeding. Examples demonstrate safety and efficacy in normal and hemophilic dogs.
