Summary of clinical registration studies of rAHF-PFM

Study Population Design Treatment Endpoints Efficacy results
Pivotal16 Criteria: FVIII ≤2 IU/dL; age ≥ 10 years; PTP (≥ 150 EDs)
Enrolled
• N=111
• Median age: 18 years
• 96% FVIII <1 IU/dL
• 108 treated
Per-protocol
• N=30
Parts 1 and 3: PK
Part 2: open label, uncontrolled determination of hemostatic efficacy of prophylaxis for ≥75 EDs
Prophylaxis: 3 to 4×/week at 25 to 40 IU/kg for ≥ 75 EDs Bioequivalence of rAHF-PFM relative to RECOMBINATEa
PK
Hemostatic efficacy
Treatment of bleeds
• 93% of bleeds (473/510) required 1 or 2 infusions
• Excellent or good for 439/510 (86%)
• Excellent or good for 80% of spontaneous
• Excellent or good for 87% of trauma-related
ABRb
• Overall: 6.3 bleeds/pt/y
• Nonadherent vs adherent:c
 ○ Mean of 9.9 vs 4.4 (P<0.03).
• 32 patients (30%) did not bleed during prophylaxis
Continuation21 Criteria: completion of pivotal study
Enrolled: N=81
Per-protocol
• N=22
ITT
• N=34
Open-label, uncontrolled
Part 1: PK
Part 2: hemostatic efficacy during prophylaxis or episodic treatment
a. 3 to 4× per week at 25–40 IU/kg for ≥75 EDs
b. Investigator-modified prophylaxis for ≥75 EDs
c. Episodic therapy
PK after 75 EDs
Hemostatic efficacy
Treatment of bleeds
• 88.5% of treated bleeds (726/820) required 1 or 2 infusions
ABR, mean, by regimen
• Standard prophylaxis: 6.0
• Modified prophylaxis: 4.8
• Episodic: 18.5.
• Adherent vs nonadherentc
 ○ Mean of 7.9 vs 4.5
• 11 of 81 patients (14%) did not bleed during prophylaxis
Pediatric14 Criteria: FVIII ≤2 IU/dL; age <6 years; PTP (≥50 EDs)
Enrolled
• N=53 (1 female)
• Age: 1–5 years; mean 3.1 years
• Treated: N=53
As described for continuation study Planned: as described for continuation study except that standard prophylaxis was 3–4 times/week at 25–50 IU/kg and duration of prophylaxis was ≥46 weeks/year Hemostatic efficacy Treatment of bleeds
• 90.1% (42/354) required 1 or 2 infusions
• Excellent or good for 332/354 (93.8%)
ABR, median, by regimen
• Standard prophylaxis: 4.0
• Modified prophylaxis: 4.4
• Episodic: 24.4
• 9 patients (8 on prophylaxis; 1 on episodic tx) did not have a bleeding episode during the study Joint ABR, median by regimen
• Prophylaxis: 0
• Modified prophylaxis: 0
• Episodic: 14.2

Notes:

a

RECOMBINATE is manufactured by Baxter Healthcare, Westlake Village, CA, USA

b

ABR is given in units of bleeds/patient/year

c

adherent was defined as 25–40 IU/kg per infusion for >80% of the prophylactic infusions at a frequency of 3–4 times per week for 80% of the time on study.
