PUPs A-LONG is the first study evaluating an extended half-life (EHL), recombinant factor VIII Fc fusion protein (rFVIIIFc), in previously untreated patients (PUPs) with hemophilia A. The safety, including inhibitor development, and efficacy of rFVIIIFc in PUPs was evaluated.
Methods
This open-label, multicenter, Phase 3 study (NCT02234323) enrolled male PUPs <6 years of age with hemophilia A (<1 IU/dL endogenous FVIII) to receive rFVIIIFc. The primary endpoint was inhibitor development (incidence rate=number of patients with inhibitor/number of patients reaching ≥10 exposure days [ED] milestone or with inhibitor). A secondary endpoint was annualized bleed rate (ABR).
Results
Of 103 patients receiving ≥1 dose, 80 (77.7%) were <1 year of age; 20 (19.4%) had a family history of inhibitors; and 82 (79.6%) had a high-risk hemophilia genotype. Eighty-one patients started with on-demand treatment; of these, 69 switched to prophylaxis. Twenty patients started on prophylaxis and 2 were not assigned a regimen. Eighty-seven (84.5%) patients completed the study. Eighty-seven (84.5%), 85 (82.5%), and 81 (78.6%) patients had ≥10, ≥20, ≥50 EDs to rFVIIIFc, respectively. Total and high-titer (≥5.00 BU/mL) inhibitor rates were 31.1% (28/90) and 15.6% (14/90), respectively, for patients with ≥10 EDs (3 inhibitor patients with <10 EDs were included). Median time to inhibitor development was 9 EDs (range: 1–53). rFVIIIFc dosing and efficacy data are shown in Table 1. Twenty-eight (27.2%) patients had 32 adverse events assessed as related by the investigator: FVIII inhibition (n=28); soft tissue hemorrhage (n=1); deep vein thrombosis (n=1); device-related thrombosis (n=1); rash papular (n=1). There was 1 non–treatment-related death due to intracranial hemorrhage (onset during screening period prior to first rFVIIIFc dose).
Conclusions
This was the first prospective study of an EHL rFVIIIFc treatment for PUPs with severe hemophilia A. Overall inhibitor development was in the range that can be expected, although the high-titer incidence was lower than that reported in the literature. The data demonstrate that rFVIIIFc was well tolerated and effective in this pediatric patient population.
