Long-term outcomes of prophylaxis with a recombinant factor VIII Fc or recombinant factor IX Fc in patients with hemophilia previously treated on demand.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prophylactic factor replacement therapy is recommended over on-demand treatment for preserving long-term joint health in hemophilia. Extended half-life products, including efmoroctocog alfa/eftrenonacog alfa (recombinant factor VIII [FVIII]/FIX Fc fusion proteins; herein rFVIIIFc/rFIXFc), have the potential to reduce treatment burden with less frequent administration and improve bleed prevention.

Objectives

We report post hoc data from patients with hemophilia A or B (HA/HB) who switched from prestudy on-demand FVIII/FIX to rFVIIIFc/rFIXFc prophylaxis at the start of A-LONG/B-LONG or start of/during ASPIRE/B-YOND phase 3 studies.

Methods

Patients with ≥6 months rFVIIIFc/rFIXFc prophylaxis were enrolled. Treatment exposure, dosing, annualized bleeding rates, joint health, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes were assessed. Results were also stratified by age.

Results

Sixty-seven patients with HA and 50 with HB were analyzed; ≥60% were from regions outside Europe/North America, predominately those aged 12 to ‍25 years. No subjects returned to on-demand treatment postswitch.After switch to rFVIIIFc/rFIXFc prophylaxis, median annualized bleeding rates were reduced and sustained at low levels with stable factor usage across age groups (median treatment duration: 4.8/3.6 years). HRQoL outcomes improved for all ages; most pronounced changes were in the sports and leisure and physical health domains. After switch to rFVIIIFc prophylaxis, total modified Hemophilia Joint Health Score and joints with pain decreased in 64.6% and 29.2% of patients with HA. Insufficient data from patients with HB limited joint health evaluation of rFIXFc.

Conclusions

Findings add to existing evidence and demonstrate the clinical and HRQoL benefits of switching patients from on-demand treatment to rFVIIIFc/rFIXFc prophylaxis.

Project description:IntroductionProphylactic treatment of hemophilia B with recombinant factor IX (rFIX) molecules with enhanced pharmacokinetics including rIX-FP (albutrepenonacog alfa; Idelvion©) and rFIXFc (eftrenonacog alfa; Alprolix©) have commonly been used in the clinic. In the absence of head-to-head comparative trials, the aim of this study was to estimate the efficacy of rIX-FP versus rFIXFc using matching-adjusted indirect comparisons (MAICs).MethodsMAIC analyses leveraged individual patient data from the PROLONG-9FP trial and published summary-level data from the B-LONG trial for subjects who received weekly prophylaxis regimens. Individual patient data were used to assign weights and balance subjects from PROLONG-9FP with subjects from B-LONG on baseline disease severity, age, prior FIX regimen, and body mass index (BMI). Six efficacy outcomes were analyzed including annualized bleeding rate (ABR), annualized spontaneous bleeding rate (AsBR), annualized joint bleeding rate (AjBR), and the proportion of subjects without bleeding events (for total, spontaneous, and joint bleeding events).ResultsAfter adjustment for baseline disease severity, age, prior FIX regimen, and BMI, rIX-FP was associated with a statistically significant decrease in AsBR (rate ratio [RR] 0.42; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.22, 0.82; P = 0.0107), and the proportion of patients without bleeding events (odds ratio [OR] 3.24; 95% CI 1.41, 7.45; P = 0.0057), spontaneous bleeding events (OR 3.47; 95% CI 1.56, 7.73; P = 0.0023), and joint bleeding events (OR 2.41; 95% CI 1.10, 5.26; P = 0.0274) compared with rFIXFc. Prophylactic treatment with rIX-FP was also associated with a numerically lower ABR (RR 0.75; 95% CI 0.32, 1.75; P = 0.5095) and AjBR (RR 0.82; 95% CI 0.37, 1.82; P = 0.6178).ConclusionThe MAICs demonstrated that weekly prophylaxis treatment of severe hemophilia B with rIX-FP resulted in favorable efficacy outcomes as compared to rFIXFc. These findings suggest rIX-FP may offer improved clinical benefits over rFIXFc.
