Safety and Efficacy of Recombinant Fusion Protein Linking Coagulation Factor IX with Albumin (rIX-FP) in Previously Untreated Patients with Hemophilia B.

ABSTRACT: Introduction Recombinant fusion protein linking coagulation factor IX (FIX) with albumin (rIX-FP) has been shown to be an effective, well-tolerated treatment for patients with severe hemophilia B who had previously received factor replacement therapy. This study investigated the safety and efficacy of rIX-FP in previously untreated patients (PUPs). Methods Patients with moderately severe/severe hemophilia B (≤2% FIX) previously untreated with FIX replacement products received rIX-FP (25-75 IU/kg) prophylaxis weekly or on-demand treatment over ≥50 exposure days (EDs). Primary outcomes were the number of patients who developed FIX inhibitors and mean incremental recovery (IR) following a 50 IU/kg dose of rIX-FP. Secondary outcomes included incidence of adverse events (AEs) and annualized bleeding rates (ABRs). Results In total, 12 PUPs with a median age of 0 years (range, 0-11 years) were treated with rIX-FP for a median of 50 EDs (6/12 prophylaxis; 6/12 on-demand then prophylaxis). Overall, 11/12 patients did not develop FIX inhibitors; one 11-year-old patient developed an inhibitor against FIX after 8 EDs and was ultimately withdrawn. Mean (standard deviation) IR was 1.2 (0.4, n = 8) (IU/dL)/(IU/kg). Of the 137 treatment-emergent AEs recorded, five were attributed to rIX-FP. On the prophylaxis regimen, median ABR was 1.0 (range, 0-3.9, n = 12). No thromboembolic events or deaths occurred during the study. Conclusion This study provides data to support the safety and efficacy of rIX-FP in PUPs requiring on-demand or prophylactic treatment for moderately severe/severe hemophilia B, consistent with results in previously treated patients. Overall, 1/12 patients developed an inhibitor against FIX.

Project description:Essentials Performance of the one-stage clotting (OSC) assay varies with the clotting activator used. Recombinant FIX-albumin fusion protein (rIX-FP) was reliably monitored with most OSC reagents. rIX-FP shows comparable reagent-dependent variability to other rFIX products in the OSC assay. Actin® FS and kaolin-based reagents underestimated rIX-FP activity by around 50% in the OSC assay. SUMMARY: Background Measuring factor IX activity (FIX:C) with one-stage clotting (OSC) assays, based on the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), is the current mainstay of diagnostic techniques for hemophilia B. Assessing the performance of new recombinant FIX (rFIX) products in OSC assays is essential, as APTT reagents from different manufacturers yield different potency estimates for rFIX. Objectives To evaluate the extent to which choice of reagent composition influences rFIX potency measurements of recombinant FIX-albumin fusion protein (rIX-FP, IDELVION) activity in OSC assays. Methods rIX-FP was added to FIX-deficient plasma, and FIX:C was assessed centrally and locally in a multicenter international field study with a variety of commercial OSC APTT reagents. Paired sample analysis of clinical samples was performed to compare values of FIX:C from local and central laboratories. In-house bioanalytical investigations with spiked samples were conducted to compare the APTT-reagent dependent variability of rIX-FP with unmodified rFIX and rFIX Fc fusion protein (rFIXFc). Results Central and local assessments of FIX:C from 10 countries and 21 participating centers showed comparable results to those from the central laboratory across the majority of 18 different APTT reagents from both clinical and spiked samples. There was a consistent underestimation of rIX-FP activity of ≈ 50% with OSC assays using Actin FS or kaolin-based APTT reagents. In the bioanalytical study, rIX-FP showed comparable variability in OSC assays to unmodified rFIX and rFIXFc. Conclusions rIX-FP activity can be accurately measured by the use of OSC assays with the majority of commercial reagents. Actin FS or kaolin-based reagents will probably lead to a 50% underestimation of activity.

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.
