Health-related quality-of-life and treatment satisfaction of individuals with hemophilia A treated with turoctocog alfa pegol (N8-GP): a new recombinant extended half-life FVIII.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prophylactic treatment regimens lead to improvements in health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) among individuals with hemophilia. Turoctocog alfa pegol (N8-GP) provides the benefit of extending the duration of protection from bleeding and reducing the number of injections, which is expected to impact HRQoL and treatment satisfaction (TS).

Aim

To investigate the HRQoL and TS of patients with severe hemophilia A from two phase III trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of N8-GP.

Methods

HRQoL was assessed using the Haemo-QoL (reported by children and their parents) and Haem-A-QoL (reported by adults). TS was assessed using Hemo-Sat. Domain and total scores for all questionnaires ranged from 0 to 100, with lower scores indicating a better HRQoL or TS. A negative change in score indicates an improvement in HRQoL/TS.

Results

Mean changes in HRQoL scores were reported for 14 children aged 4-7 years, 21 children aged 8-11 years, 10 adolescents aged 13-16 years, and 163 adults (17 years and above). Mean changes in children/adolescents-reported Haemo-QoL total score were -14.0 for ages 4-7 years, -3.6 for ages 8-11 years, and -0.1 for ages 13-16 years. Mean changes in parent-reported Haemo-QoL total scores were -11.5 for 4-7 years, -8.6 for ages 8-11 years, and -4.0 for 13-16 years. Adults' mean change in Haem-A-QoL total score was -3.1 for those receiving on-demand treatment and -2.3 for those receiving prophylaxis treatment. High levels of TS with N8-GP were reported by parents of children/adolescents and the adults at the end of the trial.

Conclusion

While most patients reported a relatively good baseline HRQoL when entering the respective trials, the HRQoL of patients was either maintained or further improved when treated with N8-GP. Adults and parents of children and adolescents reported a high level of treatment satisfaction with N8-GP.

Project description:PurposeTo illustrate the benefits of the extended half-life (EHL) recombinant factor VIII product N8-GP (Esperoct®, turoctocog alfa pegol) by describing individual cases of patients with severe hemophilia A treated with N8-GP in the pathfinder clinical trial program.Patients and methodsThis manuscript presents selected patient cases from the pivotal pathfinder clinical trial program, which included a number of clinical studies in adults (pathfinder 2 and 3) and children (pathfinder 5); overall results published previously. Clinical data and outcomes described in this manuscript are more detailed and derived from several interesting patient cases (five adults from pathfinder 2 and two children from pathfinder 5), who received N8-GP as prophylaxis (PPX) for their severe hemophilia A. Three of the five adults described here also underwent multiple major surgeries (for which they moved from pathfinder 2 into pathfinder 3 and later returned to pathfinder 2). New analyses on pediatric joint health from pathfinder 5 are also summarized here. Outcomes assessed included bleeding complications, improvements in quality of life, intraoperative hemostatic response, blood loss during surgery, number of blood transfusions, and annualized bleeding rates. For the pediatric patients, target joint resolution, adverse events, and annualized joint bleeding rate were also assessed, all by the treating physician.ResultsConsiderable improvements in treatment adherence, bleeding rates, and overall physical activity levels were demonstrated in two adult cases from the pathfinder 2 trial. N8-GP demonstrated good or excellent hemostatic coverage in three adult patients undergoing multiple major surgeries. The benefits of N8-GP for joint health and in support of children and adolescents with evolving active lifestyles were reported for several pediatric cases.ConclusionThese patient cases highlight the benefits of EHL products, such as N8-GP, for patients with severe hemophilia A. They include more challenging scenarios relating to improvements in previously poor adherence to PPX, children with active sporting lifestyles, and patients requiring multiple major surgeries.
