Abstract Background: Long-term prophylactic therapy is considered the standard of care for hemophilia A patients. This study models the long-term clinical and cost outcomes of two factor VIII (FVIII) products using a pharmacokinetic (PK) simulation model in a Chinese population. Methods: Head-to-head PK profile data of BAY 81-8973 (KOVALTRY®) and antihemophilic factor (recombinant) plasma/albumin-free method (rAHF-PFM, ADVATE®) were applied to a two-state (alive and dead) Markov model to simulate blood FVIII concentrations at a steady state in prophylactically-treated patients with hemophilia A. Worsening of the Pettersson score was simulated and decline was associated with the probability of having orthopaedic surgery. The only difference between the compounds was FVIII concentration at a given time; each subject was treated with 25 IU/kg every 3 days. The model used a lifetime horizon, with cycle lengths of 1 year. Results: Cumulative bleeding events, joint bleeding events, and major bleeding events were reduced by 19.3%, 9.3% and 19.3%, respectively for BAY 81-8973 compared to rAHF-PFM. Hospitalizations and hospitalization days were also reduced by 19.3% for BAY 81-8973 compared to rAHF-PFM. BAY 81-8973 resulted in both cost savings and a gain in quality adjusted life years (QALYs) compared to rAHF-PFM. Conclusion: Based on modeled head-to-head comparisons, differences in PK-properties between BAY 81-8973 and rAHF-PFM result in a reduced number of bleeding events, leading to reduced costs and increased quality of life for BAY 81-8973. These results should be used to inform clinical practice in China when caring for patients with severe hemophilia A.

Abstract Abstract 3670 Introduction: Development of neutralizing antibodies to FVIII is the most serious complication in the management of hemophilia A today. Eradication of the inhibitor with ITI therapy is a common treatment practice however, there are few reports of controlled studies, and much of the current ITI experience is reported from international registries and small site-based case studies. A previous case-series demonstrated successful tolerance in 9/12 (75%) patients using ADVATE [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant) Plasma/Albumin Free Method] (rAHF-PFM). Data on the safety and efficacy of rAHF-PFM in ITI therapy have now been formally captured in the recently completed Previously Untreated Patient (PUP-ITI) study, a retrospective chart review (PRE-PAIR), and an ongoing Prospective ADVATE ITI Registry (PAIR). Objectives: To provide a critical assessment of the safety and efficacy of rAHF-PFM in ITI therapy through a review of the cumulative data from PUP-ITI, PRE-PAIR, and PAIR. Methods: PUP study was a prospective, multicenter, open-label, clinical study in PUPs <6 years of age with severe or moderately severe hemophilia (FVIII level ≤2%) who underwent on-demand or prophylactic treatment with rAHF-PFM. Subjects who developed inhibitors against rAHF-PFM could enter the PUP-ITI study and receive ITI. PRE-PAIR was a multicenter, retrospective, chart review of PTPs of any age and any severity of hemophilia A with history of ITI with rAHF-PFM. PAIR is an ongoing non-interventional safety surveillance registry of subjects prescribed rAHF-PFM for ITI. In all three studies, the choice of ITI regimen was at the discretion of the investigator; however, for the PUP-ITI study, the ITI regimen was based on site-specific ITI data and/or institutional guidelines, or as described in peer reviewed literature. The primary endpoints for PUP-ITI and PRE-PAIR were the success rate of ITI. The PAIR report was an interim safety assessment that did not examine efficacy endpoints. For PUP-ITI and PRE-PAIR, the definitions of success required the subject to have achieved 2 consecutive negative inhibitor test results and if data available, demonstrated normalized FVIII recovery. For PRE-PAIR, partial success was defined as achieving negative titer but without normalized recovery. Results: In PUP-ITI, a total of 11 subjects initiated ITI; 3 withdrew and 8 completed ITI. In PRE-PAIR, 35 subjects were enrolled, 30 of which were evaluable per protocol. Of these 30 subjects, 20 had moderately severe to severe hemophilia A (FVIII ≤2%), and high-titer (>5 BU) inhibitor. As of Sept 4, 2010, 18 subjects had been enrolled in PAIR and were included in an interim safety assessment. Over all 3 studies, most commonly prescribed initial dose regimen in subjects with high inhibitor titer prior to initiation of ITI was 100 IU/kg QD (17/37 [46%]), followed by 200 IU/kg QD (11/37 [30%]), and any dose at a frequency of <1/day (9/37 [24%]). In the low titer inhibitor subjects the most commonly prescribed regimen were various doses with a frequency of <1/day (13/22 [59%] subjects). Of the 11 subjects in the PUP study who participated in the PUP-ITI study, 3 withdrew and 8 (72.7%) achieved success (95% CI: 43.4%, 90.3%). All 8 subjects (100%) achieved success, with 1st negative titer at a median time of 1.8 months (0.0 - 4.1 months) and the 2nd negative titer at 3.0 months (1.1 – 9.0 months). In PRE-PAIR, sum of complete and partial success rates gave a total success rate of 76.7% (23/30) in subjects who met inclusion criteria (95% CI: 59.1, 88.2%). During these 3 studies, there were no SAEs related to rAHF-PFM ITI therapy and 6 non-serious AEs in 3 subjects considered to be related to rAHF-PFM (diarrhea, vomiting, pain following bleed, mild urticaria, and mild fever). Conclusions: In 2 clinical studies of rAHF-PFM therapy in ITI treatment, rAHF-PFM was found to be efficacious in a variety of dosing regimens reflective of current standards of practice in hemophilia care. Overall success rates ranged from 72.7% in PUP-ITI to 76.7% in PRE-PAIR. Success rates in these 2 rAHF-PFM studies are similar to those reported in published literature. In all 3 ITI studies, there were no product related SAEs and 6 non-serious AEs in 3 subjects considered to be related to rAHF-PFM, suggesting that rAHF-PFM used for ITI has a similar risk profile established in routine clinical use. These data suggest that ITI treatment with rAHF-PFM was both effective and safe. Disclosures: Spotts: Baxter Bioscience: Employment.

SummaryA prospective, open-label multicenter investigation has been conducted to compare pharmacokinetic parameters of recombinant DNA-derived FVIII (rFVIII) and plasma-derived FVIII concentrate (pdFVIII) and to assess safety and efficacy of long-term home-treat- ment with rFVIII for subjects with hemophilia A. Following comparative in vivo pharmacokinetic studies, 69 patients with severe (n = 67) or moderate (n = 2) hemophilia A commenced a program of home treatment using rFVIII exclusively for prophylaxis and treatment of all bleeding episodes for a period of 1.0 to 5.7 years (median 3.7 years). The mean in vivo half-lives of rFVIII and pdFVIII were both 14.7 h. In vivo incremental recoveries at baseline were 2.40%/IU/kg and 2.47%/IU/kg, respectively (p = 0.59). The response to home treatment with rFVIII was categorized as good or excellent in 3,195 (91.2%) of 3,481 evaluated bleeding episodes. Thirteen patients received rFVIII for prophylaxis for twenty-four surgical procedures. In all cases, hemostasis was excellent. Adverse reactions were observed in only 13 of 13,591 (0.096%) infusions of rFVIII; none was serious. No patient developed an inhibitor to r FVIII.

SummaryIn this open multicenter study the safety and efficacy of recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) was assessed in 39 previously treated patients with hemophilia A (factor VIII basal activity ≤15%).Recombinant FVIII was administered for prophylaxis and treatment of bleeding episodes and for surgical procedures. A total of 3679 infusions of rFVIII were given. Efficacy of rFVIII as assessed by subjective evaluation of response to infusion and mean annual consumption of rFVIII was comparable to that of plasma derived FVIII concentrates. The incremental recovery of FVIII (2.4 ± 0,83%/IU/kg, 2.12 ± 0.61%/IU/kg, resp.) was within the expected range. No clinical significant FVIII inhibitor was detected in this trial. Five of 16 susceptible patients showed a seroconversion for parvovirus B19. However, the results are ambiguous in two cases and might be explained otherwise in one further case. Thus, in two patients a reliable seroconversion for parvovirus B19 was observed.
