Polyethylene Glycol Exposure with Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), PEGylated (rurioctocog alfa pegol) and Other Therapies Indicated for the Pediatric Population: History and Safety.

ABSTRACT: Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is an inert, water soluble polymer, used for decades in pharmaceuticals. Although PEG is considered safe, concerns persist about the potential adverse effects of long-term exposure to PEG-containing therapies, specifically in children, following the introduction of PEGylated recombinant factor products used for the treatment of hemophilia. Given the absence of long-term surveillance data, and to evaluate the potential risk, we estimated PEG exposure in the pediatric population receiving PEGylated therapies with pediatric indications administered intravenously or intramuscularly. We used a range of pediatric weights and doses based on prescribing information (PI) or treatment guidelines. PIs and reporting websites were searched for information about adverse events (AEs). For a child weighing 50 kg on the highest prophylactic dose of a FVIII product, the range of total PEG exposure was 40⁻21,840 mg/year; for factor IX (FIX) products, the range was 13⁻1342 mg/year; and for other products, the range was 383⁻26,743 mg/year, primarily as a derivative excipient. No AE patterns attributable to PEG were found for any of these products, including potential renal, neurological, or hepatic AEs. Our analyses suggest the pediatric population has had substantial exposure to PEG for several decades, with no evidence of adverse consequences.

Pharmacokinetics of recombinant factor VIII in adults with severe hemophilia A: fixed-sequence single-dose study of octocog alfa, rurioctocog alfa pegol, and efanesoctocog alfa.

Project description:BackgroundEfanesoctocog alfa is a new class of factor (F) VIII replacement therapy designed to provide high sustained factor levels for longer by overcoming the von Willebrand factor half-life ceiling.ObjectivesTo assess the pharmacokinetics and safety of standard half-life (octocog alfa) and extended half-life (rurioctocog alfa pegol) FVIIIs and efanesoctocog alfa.MethodsThis phase 1 study (NCT05042440; EudraCT 2021-000228-37) enrolled previously treated adult men with severe hemophilia A. Patients received sequential single 50-IU/kg doses of octocog alfa, rurioctocog alfa pegol, and efanesoctocog alfa after appropriate washout periods between each dose.ResultsThirteen participants were enrolled. Geometric mean elimination half-life of octocog alfa, rurioctocog alfa pegol, and efanesoctocog alfa was 11.0, 15.4, and 43.3 hours, respectively, and area under the FVIII activity-time curve was 1670, 2820, and 10,100 IU × h/dL, respectively. Efanesoctocog alfa maintained mean FVIII activity levels of >40 IU/dL for up to 4 days and at ∼10 IU/dL on day 7. Corresponding times for >40 IU/dL and >10 IU/dL were <1 and <2 days, respectively, for octocog alfa and 1 day and <3 days, respectively, for rurioctocog alfa pegol. No serious treatment-emergent adverse events were reported for efanesoctocog alfa, and no inhibitor development to FVIII was detected.ConclusionEfanesoctocog alfa had 3- to 4-fold longer elimination half-life and 3- to 6-fold greater exposure (area under the FVIII activity-time curve, 6.03 and 3.57 folds) than octocog alfa and rurioctocog alfa pegol. Efanesoctocog alfa provided high sustained FVIII activity in the normal-to-near-normal range (>40 IU/dL) for up to 4 days after the dose and at ∼10 IU/dL on day 7.

Perioperative haemostasis with full-length, PEGylated, recombinant factor VIII with extended half-life (rurioctocog alfa pegol) in patients with haemophilia A: Final results of a multicentre, single-arm phase III trial.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Rurioctocog alfa pegol (BAX 855, TAK-660) is a PEGylated, full-length, recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) with extended half-life developed from unmodified rFVIII (antihaemophilic factor [recombinant]). AIM:To determine the perioperative haemostatic efficacy and safety of rurioctocog alfa pegol in male previously treated patients (PTPs) with severe haemophilia A. METHODS:This multicentre, single-arm, phase III study included PTPs who were to undergo major or minor elective or minor emergency surgical, dental or other invasive procedures. Rurioctocog alfa pegol dose and frequency were individualized based on patients' pharmacokinetic profiles for major surgeries and by rurioctocog alfa pegol incremental recovery for minor surgeries. Haemostatic efficacy was assessed using the Global Haemostatic Efficacy Assessment score. RESULTS:Twenty-one patients aged 16-61 years underwent 21 major and five minor surgeries. For all 24 evaluable surgeries, overall haemostatic efficacy was rated as excellent and blood loss comparable to that expected in non-haemophilic patients. No blood transfusions were required intraoperatively but were administered postoperatively for four surgeries in three patients. Five injury-related postoperative bleeding episodes occurred in five patients, of which two required additional rurioctocog alfa pegol treatment. Two non-serious adverse events of mild severity (increased ALT level and headache) were considered possibly related to rurioctocog alfa pegol. There were no deaths or treatment-related serious adverse events. No patients developed inhibitory antibodies to FVIII or persistent IgG- or IgM-binding antibodies to FVIII, PEG-FVIII or PEG. CONCLUSION:Rurioctocog alfa pegol was well tolerated and effective for perioperative use in patients with haemophilia A and showed no signs of immunogenicity.

Rurioctocog alfa pegol PK-guided prophylaxis in hemophilia A: results from the phase 3 PROPEL study.

Project description:Rurioctocog alfa pegol prophylaxis targeting factor VIII (FVIII) troughs ≥1% has shown to be efficacious with an acceptable safety profile in people with hemophilia A (PwHA). The PROPEL trial compared safety and efficacy of 2 target FVIII troughs in PwHA aged 12 to 65 years, with severe disease, annualized bleeding rate ≥2, and previous FVIII treatment. PwHA were randomized to 12 months' pharmacokinetic (PK)-guided rurioctocog alfa pegol prophylaxis targeting FVIII troughs of 1% to 3% (reference arm) or 8% to 12% (elevated arm); first 6 months was treatment-adjustment period. The primary endpoint was absence of bleeds during the second 6 months, analyzed using multiple imputations (full analysis set [FAS]). In the 1% to 3% and 8% to 12% arms, respectively, point estimates (95% confidence interval) of proportions of PwHA with zero total bleeds were 42% (29% to 55%) and 62% (49% to 75%) in FAS (N = 115; P = .055) and 40% (27% to 55%) and 67% (52% to 81%) in per-protocol analysis set (N = 95; P = .015). Dosing frequency and consumption varied in each arm. Adverse events (AEs) occurred in 70/115 (60.9%) PwHA; serious AEs in 7/115 (6%) PwHA, including 1 treatment-related in 8% to 12% arm (transient anti-FVIII inhibitor). There were no deaths, serious thrombotic events, or AE-related discontinuations. PK-guided prophylaxis was achievable and efficacious in both arms. No new safety signals were observed in the 8% to 12% arm. These results demonstrate elevated FVIII troughs can increase the proportion of PwHA with zero bleeds and emphasize the importance of personalized treatment. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02585960.

Plasma Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) Levels Reach Steady State Following Repeated Treatment with N8-GP (Turoctocog Alfa Pegol; Esperoct<sup>®</sup>).

Project description:BackgroundExtended half-life (EHL) factor VIII (FVIII)-replacement therapies enable patients with haemophilia A to maintain higher activity levels with fewer injections. N8-GP (turoctocog alfa pegol; Esperoct®) is an EHL product derived from conjugation of polyethylene glycol (PEG) to a recombinant FVIII protein. Upon activation, PEG is released from the active protein and excreted in urine and faeces. While PEG levels are expected to reach steady state with repeated dosing, there has been some discussion regarding whether abnormal accumulation of PEG in plasma and tissues may occur.ObjectiveOur objective was to examine plasma PEG concentrations in rats and humans repeatedly treated with N8-GP for periods of up to 5 years.MethodsPEG levels were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in plasma samples from rats treated with N8-GP as part of a 52-week toxicity study. Human plasma samples from children, adolescents and adults treated with N8-GP as part of the pathfinder programme were also examined (NCT01731600; NCT01480180). These data were compared with steady-state PEG levels predicted by pharmacokinetic modelling of single-dose rat data.ResultsPEG levels reached steady state in plasma in both rats and humans after repeated dosing. The timing and degree of PEG increase to steady state were in line with or below model predictions, confirming the utility of the pharmacokinetic model and indicating that rat data can be used to estimate human plasma PEG levels.ConclusionSteady-state PEG levels were reached in plasma from rats and humans repeatedly treated with N8-GP. No unexpected increase in PEG was observed.

Subgroup analysis of a phase 2/3 study of rurioctocog alfa pegol in patients with severe hemophilia A: efficacy and safety in previously treated Korean patients.

Project description:BackgroundThe efficacy and safety of extended half-life, full-length, pegylated recombinant factor VIII rurioctocog alfa pegol [BAX 855, ADYNOVATE (USA)/ADYNOVI (Europe); Baxalta US Inc., a Takeda company, Lexington, MA, USA] was investigated in previously treated Korean patients with severe hemophilia A (HA).MethodsA post hoc data analysis from the international, multicenter, phase 2/3 PROLONG-ATE study of rurioctocog alfa pegol in patients with severe HA (NCT01736475) determined annualized bleeding rates (ABRs) and rates of adverse events (AEs) in Korean patients treated in this study.ResultsAll 10 enrolled Korean patients receiving rurioctocog alfa pegol (9 prophylaxis, 1 on-demand) completed the study [median (range) age, 28.0 (12-50) yr; weight, 64.8 (45-90) kg; 8 patients had ≥1 target joint at screening]. Median (range) ABR was 1.9 (0.0-14.5) for patients on prophylaxis and 62.2 for the patient receiving on-demand treatment. The hemostatic efficacy of rurioctocog alfa pegol was rated "excellent" or "good" and only single infusions were required per bleeding episode. ABRs improved in most patients compared with prestudy values. No dose adjustments were required for prophylaxis, and the dosing frequency was reduced in 8 patients, compared with their previous prophylaxis regimen. No serious AEs were reported; all 9 nonserious AEs (in 3 patients) were mild in severity and unrelated to the study treatment.ConclusionThis post hoc analysis of a small group of Korean patients with severe HA indicated that rurioctocog alfa pegol was effective, and no serious AEs were observed. For most patients, the dosing frequency was also reduced compared with their previous regimen.

Pre-existing anti-polyethylene glycol antibody reduces the therapeutic efficacy and pharmacokinetics of PEGylated liposomes.

Project description:Rationale: Increasing frequency of human exposure to PEG-related products means that healthy people are likely to have pre-existing anti-PEG antibodies (pre-αPEG Ab). However, the influence of pre-αPEG Abs on the pharmacokinetics (PK) and therapeutic efficacy of LipoDox is unknown. Methods: We generated two pre-αPEG Ab mouse models. First, naïve mice were immunized with PEGylated protein to generate an endogenous αPEG Ab titer (endo αPEG). Second, monoclonal αPEG Abs were passively transferred (αPEG-PT) into naïve mice to establish a αPEG titer. The naïve, endo αPEG and αPEG-PT mice were intravenously injected with 111in-labeled LipoDox to evaluate its PK. Tumor-bearing naïve, endo αPEG and αPEG-PT mice were intravenously injected with 111in-labeled LipoDox to evaluate its biodistribution. The therapeutic efficacy of LipoDox was estimated in the tumor-bearing mice. Results: The areas under the curve (AUC)last of LipoDox in endo αPEG and αPEG-PT mice were 11.5- and 15.6- fold less, respectively, than that of the naïve group. The biodistribution results suggested that pre-αPEG Ab can significantly reduce tumor accumulation and accelerate blood clearance of 111In-labeled LipoDox from the spleen. The tumor volumes of the tumor-bearing endo αPEG and αPEG-PT mice after treatment with LipoDox were significantly increased as compared with that of the tumor-bearing naïve mice. Conclusions: Pre-αPEG Abs were found to dramatically alter the PK and reduce the tumor accumulation and therapeutic efficacy of LipoDox. Pre-αPEG may have potential as a marker to aid development of personalized therapy using LipoDox and achieve optimal therapeutic efficacy.

Efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of rurioctocog alfa pegol for prophylactic treatment in previously treated patients with severe hemophilia A: a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials.

Project description:Background: Patients with severe hemophilia often present with painful joint and soft tissue bleeding which may restrict them from their daily activities. The current standard of care still relies on a regular prophylactic factor VIII (FVIII), which has a high daily treatment burden. Recently, rurioctocog alfa pegol, a third-generation recombinant FVIII with a modification in its polyethylene glycol (PEG) component, has been developed. Several trials have studied this synthetic drug as bleeding prophylaxis in severe hemophilia A. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of rurioctocog alfa pegol for previously treated patients with severe hemophilia A. Methods: This study was conducted in conformity with the PRISMA guidelines. Data were retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Wiley Online Library, and CINAHL (via EBSCOhost). Study qualities were assessed using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) and Modified Jadad scales. Results: Four studies involving 517 previously treated severe hemophilia A patients were included in this study. The pooled mean of total annualized bleeding rate (ABR) and hemostatic efficacy was 2.59 (95% CI = 2.04-3.14) and 92% (95% CI = 85%-97%), respectively. Only 30 (2.3%) non-serious and one (1.4%) serious adverse events were considered related to rurioctocog alfa pegol treatment. At the end of the studies, no development of FVIII inhibitory antibodies was observed. None of the developed binding antibodies to FVIII, PEG-FVIII, or PEG was correlated to the treatment efficacy and safety. Conclusions: Despite the limited availability of direct comparison studies, our analyses indicate that rurioctocog alfa pegol could serve as a safe and effective alternative for bleeding prophylaxis in previously treated hemophilia A patients. Moreover, it appears to have low immunogenicity, which further increases the safety profile of the drug in such clinical conditions.

Targeting an elevated FVIII level using personalized rurioctocog alfa pegol prophylaxis in specific patient populations with hemophilia A: <i>post hoc</i> subanalysis of the randomized, phase 3 PROPEL study.

Project description:BackgroundThe phase 3, prospective PROPEL study demonstrated that pharmacokinetic (PK)-guided prophylaxis targeting elevated factor VIII (FVIII) troughs in patients with hemophilia A resulted in lower annualized bleeding rates (ABRs) and a higher proportion of patients experiencing zero bleeds in the second 6 months of treatment when targeting a FVIII trough of 8-12% versus 1-3%.ObjectiveTo investigate the benefit of PK-guided prophylaxis with rurioctocog alfa pegol targeting two FVIII trough levels in specific patient subgroups in a post hoc analysis using data from PROPEL.DesignThis is a post hoc analysis of data from the PROPEL study. The design and primary outcomes of the prospective, randomized PROPEL study (NCT02585960) have been reported previously.MethodsThis post hoc analysis reports data stratified by FVIII half-life (t1/2), hemophilic arthropathy status, number of target joints at screening, previous treatment regimen, and ABR range in the 12 months before study entry.ResultsTargeting an elevated FVIII trough of 8-12% was associated with higher average FVIII levels over time, regardless of FVIII t1/2 at baseline. The decrease in total ABR between the 8-12% and 1-3% arms was greatest in patients with a FVIII t1/2 of 6 to <12 h (0.7 versus 3.5); a higher number of target joints, that is, at least four target joints, at baseline (0.2 versus 1.6); the presence of arthropathy (0.1 versus 1.7); and those previously treated on-demand (0.3 versus 1.8).ConclusionThese results support the feasibility of targeting elevated FVIII levels using personalized rurioctocog alfa pegol prophylaxis. These benefits may be especially important in patients with a short FVIII t1/2 and those receiving standard prophylaxis with frequent breakthrough bleeds, arthropathy, and target joints.RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02585960; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02585960.

Synthesis of Stable Cholesteryl-Polyethylene Glycol-Peptide Conjugates with Non-Disperse Polyethylene Glycol Lengths.

Project description:A method for conjugating cholesterol to peptide ligands through non-disperse polyethylene glycol (ND-PEG) through a non-hydrolysable linkage is described. The iterative addition of tetraethylene glycol macrocyclic sulfate to cholesterol (Chol) renders a family of highly pure well-defined Chol-PEG compounds with different PEG lengths from 4 up to 20 ethylene oxide units, stably linked through an ether bond. The conjugation of these Chol-PEG compounds to the cyclic (RGDfK) peptide though Lys5 side chains generates different lengths of Chol-PEG-RGD conjugates that retain the oligomer purity of the precursors, as analysis by HRMS and NMR has shown. Other derivatives were synthesized with similar results, such as Chol-PEG-OCH3 and Chol-PEG conjugated to glutathione and Tf1 peptides through maleimide-thiol chemoselective ligation. This method allows the systematic synthesis of highly pure uniform stable Chol-PEGs, circumventing the use of activation groups on each elongation step and thus reducing the number of synthesis steps.

Polyethylene Glycol 3350 With Electrolytes Versus Polyethylene Glycol 4000 for Constipation: A Randomized, Controlled Trial.

Project description:ObjectiveThe long-term efficacy and safety of polyethylene glycol (PEG) in constipated children are unknown, and a head-to-head comparison of the different PEG formulations is lacking. We aimed to investigate noninferiority of PEG3350 with electrolytes (PEG3350 + E) compared to PEG4000 without electrolytes (PEG4000).MethodsIn this double-blind trial, children aged 0.5 to 16 years with constipation, defined as a defecation frequency of <3 times per week, were randomized to receive either PEG3350 + E or PEG4000. Primary outcomes were change in total sum score (TSS) at week 52 compared to baseline, and dose range determination. TSS was the sum of the severity of 5 constipation symptoms rated on a 4-point scale (0-3). Noninferiority margin was a difference in TSS of ≤1.5 based on a 95%-confidence interval [CI]. Treatment success was defined as a defecation frequency of ≥3 per week with <1 episode of fecal incontinence.ResultsNinety-seven subjects were included, of whom 82 completed the study. Mean reduction in TSS was -3.81 (95% CI: -4.96 to -2.65) and -3.74 (95%CI: -5.08 to -2.40), for PEG3350 + E and PEG4000, respectively. Noninferiority criteria were not met (maximum difference between groups: -1.81 to 1.68). Daily sachet use was: 0 to 2 years: 0.4 to 2.3 and 0.9 to 2.1; 2 to 4 years: 0.1 to 3.5 and 1.2 to 3.2; 4 to 8 years: 1.1 to 2.8 and 0.7 to 3.8; 8 to 16 years 0.6 to 3.7 and 1.0 to 3.7, in PEG3350 + E and PEG4000, respectively. Treatment success after 52 weeks was achieved in 50% and 45% of children, respectively (P = 0.69). Rates of adverse events were similar between groups, and no drug-related serious adverse events occurred.ConclusionsNoninferiority regarding long-term constipation-related symptoms of PEG3350 + E compared to PEG4000 was not demonstrated. However, analysis of secondary outcomes suggests similar efficacy and safety of these agents.
