Factor VIII replacement is still the standard of care in haemophilia A.

ABSTRACT: Prophylactic factor VIII (FVIII) has dramatically improved haemophilia A treatment, preventing joint bleeding and halting the deterioration of joint status. FVIII products with an extended plasma half-life further improve patients' quality of life and increase therapeutic adherence. New licensed classes of non-replacement products include prophylactic emicizumab, which is administered subcutaneously up to every 4 weeks. However, this drug is not suitable for acute bleeding episodes or management of major surgery, and long-term data on the impact of emicizumab on joint health, FVIII inhibitor development and thrombotic risk are awaited. Prophylaxis with FVIII replacement remains the standard of care in haemophilia A, with the aim of achieving a level of haemostasis control that allows patients to meet their lifestyle goals.

Recombinant factor VIII Fc for the treatment of haemophilia A.

Project description:Prophylaxis with factor VIII (FVIII) is the current therapeutic approach for people with haemophilia A. However, standard half-life (SHL) FVIII products must be injected frequently, imposing a substantial burden on the individual and making it difficult to tailor therapy according to patient need and lifestyle, which could impact adherence. Recombinant FVIII Fc fusion protein (rFVIIIFc; Elocta® , Sobi; Eloctate® , Sanofi) is a recombinant fusion protein that undergoes slower clearance from the body than SHL FVIII products. This pharmacokinetic property of rFVIIIFc allows prophylactic administration every 3-5 days, or once weekly in selected patients, with doses adjusted to patient needs and clinical outcomes. Higher FVIII levels can be achieved maintaining dosing frequency similar to that usually applied with SHL FVIII. This review provides a summary of recent data from the A-LONG, Kids A-LONG, ASPIRE and PUPs A-LONG studies and recently published real-world experience relevant to rFVIIIFc use in individualised regimens. The review also introduces ongoing studies of rFVIIIFc, including its use for induction of immune tolerance, and discusses some aspects to consider when switching patients to rFVIIIFc and managing ongoing treatment. In summary, rFVIIIFc is suitable for individualised prophylaxis regimens that can be tailored according to patient clinical needs and lifestyle.

Ex vivo factor VIII-modified proliferating human hepatocytes therapy for haemophilia A.

Project description:Ex vivo gene manipulation in human hepatocytes is a promising therapeutic strategy in the treatment of inherited liver diseases. However, a major limitation is the lack of a highly efficient and safe genetic manipulation system for transplantable primary human hepatocytes (PHHs). Here, we reported that proliferating human hepatocytes (ProliHHs) cultured in vitro showed high susceptibility to lentivirus-mediated genetic modification and maintained cellular phenotypes after lentiviral infection. Human factor VIII expression was introduced through F8-Lentivirus-mediated transduction of ProliHHs followed by xenotransplantation into immunocompromised haemophilia A mice. We demonstrated that these F8-modified ProliHHs could effectively repopulate the mouse liver, resulting in therapeutic benefits in mouse models. Furthermore, no genotoxicity was detected in F8-modified ProliHHs using lentiviral integration site analysis. Thus, this study demonstrated, for the first time, the feasibility and safety of lentiviral modification in ProliHHs to induce the expression of coagulation factor VIII in the treatment of haemophilia A.

Non-factor replacement therapy for haemophilia: a current update.

Project description:One of the most challenging issues facing us in the treatment of haemophilia is the development of alloantibodies against infused factor VIII (FVIII) or factor IX (FIX). Inhibitors render factor replacement therapy ineffective, exposing patients to an unacceptably high risk of morbidity and mortality. Besides the well-known bypassing agents (i.e. activated prothrombin complex concentrate and recombinant activated factor VII) used to treat or prevent bleeding in haemophilia patients with inhibitors, there is growing interest in a new class of therapeutic agents which act by enhancing coagulation (i.e. emicizumab) or inhibiting anticoagulant pathways (i.e. fitusiran and concizumab). This review will focus on these innovative therapies, providing an update on their current stage of clinical development.

Identification of a novel mutation in the factor VIII gene causing severe haemophilia A.

Project description:Background:Deficiency in coagulation factor VIII encoded by F8 results in the X-linked recessive bleeding disorder haemophilia A (HEMA). Here we describe the identification of a novel variant in the factor VIII gene, F8, in an adult male patient with severe haemophilia A. Case presentation:The patient was diagnosed in early childhood and subsequently co-infected with Hepatitis C and HIV acquired during early blood transfusion for haemophilia in the 1980ies. The identified F8 deletion, c.5411_5413delTCT, p.F1804del lies within a conserved part of the molecule, is predicted by bioinformatic software to be deleterious by the loss of Phenylalanine, and has not been previously described in any database. Conclusion:This novel F8 deletion as a cause of haemophilia A did not result in generation of inhibitory antibodies to Factor VIII treatment and may have impact on (prenatal) diagnosis, genetic counselling, and treatment decisions in the affected family as well as in other families diagnosed with this F8 mutation. Finally, this novel mutation should be included in the panel of known genetic variants in F8 when searching for the genetic etiology in patients suspected of HEMA.

PROTECT VIII Kids: BAY 94-9027 (PEGylated Recombinant Factor VIII) safety and efficacy in previously treated children with severe haemophilia A.

Project description:IntroductionBAY 94-9027, a site-specifically PEGylated, B-domain-deleted recombinant factor VIII (FVIII) with extended half-life, demonstrated efficacy for bleed prevention and treatment in previously treated adolescents and adults with severe haemophilia A.AimTo assess BAY 94-9027 in children with severe haemophilia A.MethodsIn the two-part PROTECT VIII Kids study, boys <12 years with <1% FVIII and >50 exposure days (EDs) to FVIII were enrolled in two cohorts (<6 years; 6-<12 years) and treated with BAY 94-9027 prophylaxis twice-weekly, every 5 days, or every 7 days at physician discretion for ≥50 EDs (Part 1) or twice-weekly for 12-weeks (Part 2). Annualized bleeding rate (ABR) was a primary efficacy endpoint; FVIII inhibitor development was the primary safety variable.ResultsAt study completion, 25 patients had been treated twice-weekly, 28 in the every-5-day group, and 8 in the every-7-day group. Median ABR for all bleeds was 2.9 (Part 1) and 2.4 (Part 2) and similar in younger and older patients; median ABR for joint bleeds was 0 for both cohorts. In the last 90 days' treatment, median ABR was 0 for younger and older patients (Part 1). Of 149 reported bleeds, 93% were treated with ≤2 infusions. Twelve patients, the majority <6 years (n = 11), discontinued due to apparent loss of efficacy or hypersensitivity. No FVIII inhibitors developed.ConclusionsIn PROTECT VIII Kids, which allowed tailoring of prophylaxis to individual clinical response, BAY 94-9027 was efficacious for bleed prevention and treatment in previously treated children with severe haemophilia A.

Factor VIII prophylaxis effects outweigh other hemostasis contributors in predicting severe haemophilia A joint outcomes.

Project description:IntroductionThe Joint Outcome Study (JOS) demonstrated that previously untreated children with severe haemophilia A treated with prophylactic factor VIII (FVIII) concentrate had superior joint outcomes at age 6 years compared to those children treated episodically for bleeding. However, variation in joint outcome within each treatment arm was not well explained.AimIn this study, we sought to better understand variation in joint outcomes at age 6 years in participants of the JOS.MethodsWe evaluated the influence of FVIII half-life, treatment adherence, constitutional coagulant and anticoagulant proteins, and global assays on joint outcomes (number of joint bleeds, total number of bleeds, total MRI score and joint physical exam score). Logistic regression was used to evaluate the association of variables with joint failure status on MRI, defined as presence of subchondral cyst, surface erosion or joint-space narrowing. Each parameter was also correlated with each joint outcome using Spearman correlations.ResultsProphylaxis treatment arm and FVIII trough were each found to reduce risk of joint failure on univariate logistic regression analysis. When controlling for treatment arm, FVIII trough was no longer significant, likely because of the high level of covariation between these variables. We found no consistent correlation between any laboratory assay performed and any joint outcome parameter measured.ConclusionIn the JOS, the effect of prescribed prophylactic FVIII infusions on joint outcome overshadowed the contribution of treatment adherence, FVIII half-life, global assays of coagulation and constitutional coagulation proteins.

Current and emerging factor VIII replacement products for hemophilia A.

Project description:Hemophilia A is a congenital X-linked bleeding disorder caused by coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) deficiency. Routine infusion of factor replacement products is the current standard of care; however, the development of alloantibodies against FVIII remains a challenge. The treatment of hemophilia has undergone major advances over the past century to improve safety, effectiveness, manufacturing, and convenience of factor products. Major recent advances in the treatment of hemophilia A include the emergence of extended half-life products, factor VIII orthologs, and gene therapy products. Extended half-life products were designed to decrease the frequency of infusions, but only modest half-life extension is achieved. Factor VIII orthologs featuring lower cross-reactivity with anti-FVIII antibodies may be less susceptible to inactivation by inhibitors. Meanwhile, gene therapy may potentially provide a cure for hemophilia A, thus abrogating the need for protein-based factor replacement. This review aims to discuss current and emerging FVIII replacement products for hemophilia A.

A Novel Missense Mutation, E1623G, in the Human Factor VIII Gene Associated With Moderate Haemophilia A.

Project description:IntroductionHaemophilia A is the most common inherited X-linked recessive bleeding disorder. The severity of the resultant bleeding diathesis depends on the FVIII levels associated with the mutation. Analysis of carrier state can be made indirectly by DNA linkage analysis or directly by identifying the mutation that leads to the disease. The aim of this study was to identification of the causal mutation of the FVIII gene in a haemophilic patient.Case reportOur case is a 16-year-old male haemophilia A patient with some symptoms such as recurrent hemarthrosis in left knee. In this study, we used single-stranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and conformational sensitive gel electrophoresis (CSGE) methods and direct sequencing to identify the mutation responsible for haemophilia A in our patient.ConclusionsWe reported a novel missense mutation (GAA→GGA), E1623G, in exon 14 of FVIII gene that is associated with moderate haemophilia A. This new mutation was recorded in GenBank (NCBI) with accession number JF916726.1. This study showed that the use of PCR-CSGE and PCR-SSCP may be useful in detecting most of genetic defects such as point mutations of FVIII gene in haemophilic patients.

Zero incidence of factor VIII inhibitors and successful haemostatic response in previously factor VIII-treated patients with haemophilia A switching to turoctocog alfa in a noninterventional study.

Project description:IntroductionTuroctocog alfa (NovoEight® ) is a B-domain-truncated recombinant factor VIII (FVIII) approved for patients with haemophilia A.AimTo investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of turoctocog alfa in routine clinical practice.MethodsGuardian 5 was a prospective, multinational, non-interventional, post-authorisation safety study. Male previously treated patients (> 150 exposure days [EDs]) of any age with severe/moderately severe haemophilia A (FVIII ≤ 2%) and a negative inhibitor test prior to first dosing (independent of FVIII-inhibitor history) were included to receive prophylaxis or on-demand treatment. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients developing FVIII inhibitors (≥.6 Bethesda Units [BU]) after baseline visit, measured as per routine practice of each study site during clinic visits. Secondary endpoints included haemostatic effect, annualised bleeding rate (ABR), and adverse reactions assessment. The study concluded when 50 patients reached 100 EDs/patient minimum.ResultsSeventy patients were screened and 68 exposed to turoctocog alfa; 63 (92.6%) were on prophylaxis and five received on-demand treatment. Six (8.8%) patients reported a history of positive inhibitors. During the study, patients were exposed to turoctocog alfa for a mean (standard deviation) of 131.9 (99.0) days/patient. Fifty-five of 58 patients who completed the study were tested for FVIII inhibitors; no positive tests were reported. Overall success rate of turoctocog alfa for treatment of bleeds was 87.3%. Among patients receiving prophylaxis, median (range) ABR was 1.97 (.0-25.5) bleeds/year; estimated ABR (negative binomial model) was 3.65 (95% confidence interval: 2.53-5.25).ConclusionTuroctocog alfa was safe and efficacious for haemophilia A treatment in routine clinical practice.

Monitoring of different factor VIII replacement products using a factor VIII one-stage clotting assay on cobas t 511/711 analysers.

Project description:IntroductionRecombinant coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) products are the standard of care for patients with haemophilia A. The development of modified FVIII products has provided benefit for patients but presented challenges for monitoring FVIII activity.AimThis single-centre study evaluated the Roche FVIII one-stage clotting assay (OSA) in measuring FVIII activity in plasma samples spiked with seven FVIII products at clinically relevant concentrations.MethodsFVIII-deficient plasma samples were spiked with two batches of recombinant FVIII products (octocog alfa, moroctocog alfa, simoctocog alfa, efmoroctocog alfa, damoctocog alfa pegol, rurioctocog alfa pegol, lonoctocog alfa) at 1-120 IU/dL FVIII activity, according to their labelled potency. Measurement was conducted on the cobas t 511/711 analysers using the Roche FVIII OSA and the Technoclone TECHNOCHROM FVIII:C chromogenic substrate assay (CSA).ResultsUsing the OSA, FVIII activity was close to labelled potency for most analysed FVIII products including a recombinant FVIII Fc fusion protein. PEGylated FVIII product, damoctocog alfa pegol, was marginally above and single-chain product, lonoctocog alfa, below the predefined acceptance criteria: for FVIII activity < 25 IU/dL: ± 5 IU/dL; for FVIII activity ≥ 25 IU/dL: ± 20% (relative). The different principles of OSA and CSA led to discrepancies in the estimation of all analysed FVIII products. Additionally, in vitro recovery was increased at lower levels of FVIII activity using the OSA, whereas recovery was more consistent using the CSA.ConclusionThese data allow the interpretation of FVIII activity results for different FVIII products using the Roche FVIII OSA on the cobas t 511/711 analysers.
