Background Patients with severe and moderate haemophilia A are treated prophylactically with factor VIII (FVIII) concentrate. Individualization of prophylaxis can be achieved by pharmacokinetic (PK)-guided dosing. Aim In this study, the performance of three PK tools (myPKFiT, Web-Accessible Population Pharmacokinetic Service-Hemophilia [WAPPS] and NONMEM) is compared. Methods In 39 patients, with severe or moderate haemophilia A, blood samples were collected 4, 24 and 48 hours after administration of 50 IU kg−1 of recombinant FVIII (Advate [n = 30] or Kogenate [n = 9]). FVIII dose, FVIII activity and patient characteristics were entered into the three PK tools. Obtained PK parameters and dosing advises were compared. Results myPKFiT provided PK parameters for 24 of 30 patients receiving Advate, whereas WAPPS and NONMEM provided estimates for all patients. Half-life was different among the three methods: medians were 12.6 hours (n = 24), 11.2 hours (n = 30) and 13.0 hours (n = 30) for myPKFiT, WAPPS and NONMEM (p < 0.001), respectively. To maintain a FVIII trough level of 0.01 IU mL−1 after 48 hours, doses for myPKFiT and NONMEM were 15.1 and 11.0 IU kg−1 (p < 0.01, n = 11) and for WAPPS and NONMEM were 9.0 and 8.0 IU kg−1 (p < 0.01, n = 23), respectively. In nine patients receiving Kogenate, WAPPS and NONMEM produced different PK-parameter estimates; half-life was 15.0 and 12.3 hours and time to 0.05 IU mL−1 was 69.2 and 60.8 hours, respectively (p < 0.01, n = 9). However, recommended doses to obtain these levels were not different. Conclusion The three evaluated PK tools produced different PK parameters and doses for recombinant FVIII. Haematologists should be aware that recommended doses may be influenced by the choice of PK tool.

Abstract In patients with hemophilia A and inhibitory alloantibodies against factor VIII, various dosage schedules are used to obtain immune tolerance. In this study, we have evaluated the results of 13 years of low-dose immune tolerance induction and factors that are predictive of a positive result. The effect of immune tolerance induction in relation to age at inhibitor development, number of exposure days, age at start of therapy, maximum inhibitor titer, factor VIII products involved, and virologic status were determined. We evaluated 24 patients with severe hemophilia A and inhibitors who were treated with regular infusions with low-dose (25 U/kg every other day) factor VIII to obtain immune tolerance. In 21 of 24 patients (87%), immune tolerance induction was successful. The response time was determined by two factors: the highest inhibitor level and the age at inhibitor development. In patients with maximum inhibitor levels of less than 40 Bethesda units (BU)/mL, immune tolerance was obtained sooner than in patients with inhibitor levels exceeding 40 BU/mL (P = .005). Patients in whom an inhibitor developed before the age of 2.5 years also tended to have a quick immune response (P = .014). Immune tolerance with low-dose factor VIII is often successful in hemophilia A patients with inhibitors. Young children and patients with maximum inhibitors of less than 40 BU/mL show a relatively rapid response.
