Abstract Only rare cases of female haemophilia have been reported. Moreover, no case of congenital haemophilia A associated with an acquired type-2 inhibitor to FVIII in a female child has been described in literature yet. We report the case of a 15-year old girl, diagnosed with severe haemophilia A (FVIII:C <1%) at the age of 13 months. Her father suffered from severe haemophilia A (FVIII:C <1%) due to an intron 22 inversion. In the girl both an intron 22 inversion and a non-random X-inactivation were found. At 3 years the girl received prophylactic treatment, and recombinant FVIII (3 × 40 IU/kg/week) from 6 years of age. Bleeding episodes were rare. Aged 13 she developed two large spontaneous haematomas. In-depth analysis confirmed decreased FVIII-recovery, –half-life and an inhibitor titre of 7.6 BU following type-2 kinetics (haemophilic autoantibodies). All of the few reported children with an aquired FVIII inhibitor presented with other autoimmune diseases or had used penicillin. Our patient showed none of this, but interestingly experienced menarche 4 weeks after inhibitor detection. This lets us speculate that the ethiology of the inhibitor formation in our patient at the time of hormonal change might be similar to that in pregnant or postpartum women. Taking into account the recommendations of Ma et al. (2006) regarding inhibitor development during pregnancy in healthy women, we initiated a modified ITI with 75 IU/kg rFVIII concentrate (4,000 IU per infusion) every other day without additional immunosuppressive therapy. After 6 weeks of ITI, inhibitor titres declined and became negative after 8 months, resulting in a normal FVIII half-life till now.

SummaryInhibitor development represents the most serious side effect of haemophilia treatment. Any difference in risk of inhibitor formation depending on the product used might be of clinical relevance. It was this study’s objective to assess inhibitor development according to clotting factor concentrate in severe haemophilia A and B. The European Haemophilia Safety Surveillance (EUHASS) was set up as a study monitoring adverse events overall and according to concentrate. Since October 2008, inhibitors were reported at least quarterly. Number of treated patients was reported annually, specifying the number of patients completing 50 exposure days (Previously Untreated Patients, PUPs) without inhibitor development. Cumulative incidence, incidence rates and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Data from October 1, 2008 to December 31, 2012 were analysed for 68 centres that validated their data. Inhibitors developed in 108/417 (26 %; CI 22–30 %) PUPs with severe haemophilia A and 5/72 (7 %; CI 2–16%) PUPs with severe haemophilia B. For Previously Treated Patients (PTPs), 26 inhibitors developed in 17,667 treatment years [0.15/100 treatment years; CI 0.10–0.22) for severe haemophilia A and 1/2836 (0.04/100; (CI 0.00–0.20) for severe haemophilia B. Differences between plasma-derived and recombinant concentrates, or among the different recombinant FVIII concentrates were investigated. In conclusion, while confirming the expected rates of inhibitors in PUPs and PTPs, no class or brand related differences were observed.

SummaryThe safety of full-length sucrose-formulated recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII-FS; KOGENATE® FS) for up to 24 months of use was evaluated in a postmarketing observational study in Europe. Long-term safety and efficacy data were available for 212 patients with severe haemophilia A, including 13 previously untreated patients (PUPs) and 12 patients with 1–19 exposure days (EDs). Patients accumulated a mean (± SD) of 187 (121) EDs to rFVIII-FS and received a total of 39,627 infusions, mainly for prophylaxis and for the treatment of 4,283 spontaneous or trauma-related bleeds during an average observation time of 710 (136) days. Of these bleeding episodes, 85.4% were successfully treated with one or two infusions of rFVIII-FS. Haemostasis was also evaluated during 46 minor to major surgical pro- cedures, and the response to infusion was “excellent” or “good” in all cases. FVIII inhibitor formation was observed in six patients (two de novo; four persistent or recurrent). The de novo cases represent 8.0% (2 of 25) of patients who reported 0–19 previous EDs at study entry. Four of the five patients who reported possible drug-related adverse effects developed inhibitors. The results of this observational study demonstrate the efficacy and safety of rFVIII-FS during normal clinical use in the treatment of patients with severe haemophilia A. Furthermore, these findings are consistent with those of previous phase III clinical studies with rFVIII-FS, particularly with regard to its efficacy and low incidence of inhibitor formation.
