Nonacog beta pegol prophylaxis in children with hemophilia B: safety, efficacy, and neurodevelopmental outcomes for up to 8 years.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nonacog beta pegol (N9-GP) is an extended half-life PEGylated factor (F)IX product with established efficacy and short-term safety in persons with hemophilia B (HB). Long-term safety has been evaluated for polyethylene glycol exposure but not N9-GP.

Objectives

To assess safety, neurodevelopmental, and efficacy outcomes of children with HB receiving N9-GP prophylaxis across 2 open-label, single-arm, phase 3 studies: paradigm5 (previously treated patients [PTPs]) and paradigm6 (previously untreated patients [PUPs]) in this interim analysis.

Methods

PTPs (aged ≤12 years) and PUPs (aged <6 years) with severe/moderate (≤2% FIX level) HB were recruited to N9-GP prophylaxis (40 IU/kg once weekly) in paradigm5 and paradigm6, respectively. Safety assessments include
