## Abstract

In a method of producing a blood-coagulation-promoting preparation from human blood plasma, which preparation contains a new blood-coagulating substance called "FEIBA", human plasma with citrate ions is treated with water-insoluble inorganic coagulation-physiologically-surface-active substances in the absence of free calcium ions, thus generating "FEIBA", the water-insoluble substances are separated, the supernatant is treated with basic ion exchangers, wherein "FEIBA" and the coagulation factors II-VII-IX-X adhere to the ion exchangers, and "FEIBA" and the factors II-VII-IX-X are eluted and concentrated.

## Background
The invention relates to a method of producing a blood-coagulation-promoting preparation from human blood plasma, which preparation contains a new blood-coagulation-effective substance, called "FEIBA".

This substance influences in a new manner the blood coagulation and causes a bypassing of the factor-VIII-effect, which means that the blood coagulation is normalized without factor-VIII-supply. The preparation is particularly suited for treating haemophilia-A-patients with inhibitor. The abbreviation "FEIBA" stands for "Factor Eight Inhibitor Bypassing Activity".

Haemophilia A is a disease which has been known for a long time, in which the course of blood coagulation is disturbed by the absence of the activity of a blood coagulation factor. This factor is called antihaemophilic factor (AHF) or factor VIII. A cure of this congenital disease that is caused by defective genes as such is not possible. Treatment can only be effected -- in case of a haemorrhage -- by intravenous supply of corresponding amounts of factor VIII stemming from the blood of healthy donors. While previously one had to use full blood or full plasma, respectively, great amounts of which had to be applied, there are now preparations which contain the factor VIII in concentrated and also in stable, freeze-dried form. In most cases the treatment with these preparations causes the bleeding to stop quickly.

There are, however, also patients in whom not only the factor-VIII-activity is missing, but who also have an inhibitor directed against factor VIII, which inhibitor -- depending on the amount present -- destroys the effect of the factor VIII supplied, by neutralisation (inhibition). With these factor-VIII-inhibitor-patients so far there has been little hope for a successful treatment. The only possibility consisted in the removal of the inhibitor prior to the treatment with factor-VIII-concentrates, which is only possible by a plasma exchange of the patient's plasma for the plasma of a healthy donor or for plasma substitutes; this requires a complex technical and medical procedure. Before a new treatment, the plasma exchange has to be repeated, since the inhibitor -- in particular after the supply of new factor VIII as antigen by a "booster effect" -- forms again. A treatment of the inhibitor patients with so-called "immune suppressives" for suppressing the in vivo synthesis of the inhibitor has hitherto been without success in most cases.

Recently there has been a new possibility of treating factor-VIII-inhibitor-patients. Kurczynski and Penner, New Engl. J. Med., vol. 291, pp. 164-167, 1974, were the first to report on a successful treatment of factor-VIII-inhibitor-patients with so-called "activated" prothrombin complex concentrates. Also in publications by Sultan, Brouet and Debre, New Engl. J. Med., vol. 291, p. 1087, 1974, and Abildgaard, Britton and Roberts, Blood, vol. 44, p. 933, 1974, clinically successful applications of activated prothrombin complex preparations in bleeding factor-VIII-inhibitor-patients are reported.

The so-called activation of these prothrombin complex concentrates is probably due to unknown impurities. The preparations could not be tested as regards their effective principle and could not be standardized. Therefore the results are not safe and can hardly be repeated.

The invention aims at overcoming the above described disadvantages and difficulties and has as its object to provide a preparation which safeguards in a repeatable and deliberate manner a generation of the desired factor-VIII-inhibitor-bypassing-activity. The factor-VIII-inhibitor-bypassing-activity is to be measurable by means of a suitable test system and standardizable. The preparation is to be clinically effective and compatible, i.e. it is to stop the bleeding in bleeding factor-VIII-inhibitor-patients and is not to have any undesired side effects.

According to the invention, this object is achieved in that human plasma containing citrate ions is treated in the absence of free calcium ions with water-insoluble inorganic coagulation-physiologically-surface-active substances, such as silica gel or kaolin, wherein the new substance is generated, thereupon the water-insoluble substances are separated and then the supernatant is treated in a manner known per se with basic ion exchangers, such as diethyl amino ethyl groups-containing high molecular substances, wherein the substance "FEIBA" is adsorbed thereon together with the factors II-VII-IX-X, whereupon they are eluted and concentrated. The new substance with the FEIB activity is a protein with a higher molecular weight than that of the unactivated factors II,VII,IX,X (prothrombin complex). While the latter factors have a molecular weight of approximately 70,000, the new substance has a molecular weight in the region of approximately 100,000.

As starting material for the production of the new preparation human citrated plasma is used, which contains all the coagulation factors in native form; furthermore, also plasma fractions can be used which are developed after separation of the factor VIII (AHF), such as e.g. a plasma supernatant of cryoprecipitate or of precipitate I according to Cohn all of which are plasmas that will not coagulate when treated with the water-insoluble inorganic coagulation-physiologically-surface-active substance.

Advantageously, the generation of the substance FEIBA takes place under maintenance of a pH range of between 5.5 and 8.5 and a temperature of between 0.degree. and 30.degree. C.

Suitably, herein the water-insoluble inorganic coagulation-physiologically-surface-active substances are used in an amount of between 0.05 and 5%, preferably between 0.1 and 1%, based on the amount of plasma.

For treating the plasma, substances can be used mainly consisting of fine particles of silicon dioxide, e.g. substances from the group of the diatomaceous earths, such as celite, or substances composed of silicon dioxide and aluminum oxide, e.g. kaolin. In general, substances are suitable which are known as "surface-active" in the coagulation system or which, due to their surface activity, can introduce the contact phase of the blood coagulation. While the coagulation factors which are surface activatable due to these substances (factors XI and XII) are adsorbed in their activated form at this step, the factors II,VII,IX,X together with the generated substance FEIBA remain in the supernatant and can, by using known methods, and after separation of the surface-active, water-insoluble substances be separated and enriched, respectively. For the latter step e.g. weakly basic ion exchangers can be used; diethyl-amino-ethyl (DEAE)-groups-containing, high molecular substances, e.g. DEAE bound to cellulose or cross-linked dextrans, have proved especially successful. The protein fraction which then contains the FEIB-activity in purified and enriched form, can be isolated by adsorption to the above mentioned ion exchangers, washing and elution of the adsorbed plasma proteins having increased ionic strength. After removal of the salts by dialysis and subsequent freeze drying the raw fraction containing the FEIB-activity is obtained in dry, stable form. From this there results the final preparation by dissolving it again in water, adding salts, adjusting the pH, sterile filtrating and freeze-drying it again.

Examinations of the properties of the preparation produced according to the invention showed that the factors IIa (thrombin) and Xa do not contribute anything to the FEIB-activity. Traces of thrombin, as it can be found in the preparation produced according to the invention, do not lead to a shortening of the activated partial thromboplastin time of factor-VIII-inhibitor-plasma. Also soy bean trypsin inhibitor -- a well known inhibitor of factor Xa activity -- does not inhibit the FEIB-activity of the preparation. On the basis of gel-chromatographic tests it has proved that the new substance has a higher molecular weight than the known factors of the prothrombin complex II,VII,IX and X. Since furthermore the activated factors of the prothrombin complex are formed by enzymatic splitting off of a fraction of the respective native (not-activated) coagulation factor, and thus smaller molecules are formed than the molecules of the corresponding unactivated factors, one can be sure that the FEIB-activity in the preparation produced according to the invention is not caused by an activated factor of the prothrombin complex, but by the newly generated substance having the higher molecular weight.

For characterizing the new substance, on the one hand the ratio of the activities of the coagulation factors II,VII,IX and X to the FEIB-activity can be utilized: This ratio, expressed in units, lies between 0.1 and 10, preferably between 0.5 and 2, wherein one unit of factor II-VII-IX-X corresponds to the activity of these factors which on an average is contained in 1 ml of fresh human citrated plasma, and one FEIBA-unit is defined as that FEIB-activity which reduces the activated partial thromboplastin time of a high titer factor-VIII-inhibitor-plasma to half of the blank value. On the other hand, for characterizing the new substance, also its amidolytic activity can be utilized. Amidolytic activity means the ability of a substance to split off the p-nitroaniline in standardized peptide compounds which are connected via an amide bond with the chromophore p-nitroaniline; the p-nitroaniline is photometrically determined. Such standardized peptide preparations are produced e.g. by KABI company in Sweden; thus the peptide S-2160 N-benzoyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-valyl-L-arginine-p-nitroanilide.HCl (short form: Bz-Phe-Val-Arg-p-nitroanilide.HCl) is specific for thrombin, S-2222 N-benzoyl-L-isoleucyl-L-glutamyl-L-glycyl-L-arginyl-p-nitroanilide.HCl (short form: Bz-Ile-Glu-Gly-Arg-p-nitroanilide.HCl) for Xa and S-2251 D-valyl-L-leucyl-L-lysyl-p-nitroanilide.2HCl (short form: D-Val-Leu-Lys-p-nitroanilide. 2HCl) for plasmin. If one examines the preparation produced according to the invention relative to the above-mentioned substrates, a negligibly small amount of amidolytic activity is found. On the other hand, an examination of a preparation having a content of thrombin and/or factor Xa, if they are adjusted to the same FEIB-activity, which the preparation produced according to the invention shows, show a high amidolytic activity.

A further feature of the preparation according to the invention resides in that it has only a very slight thrombin activity, if any at all. The ratio of the thrombin activity to the FEIB-activity does not exceed 0.02, the thrombin activity being expressed in NIH-units (NIH = U.S. National Institute of Health) and the FEIB-activity is expressed in FEIBA-units.

The method according to the invention and the properties of the preparation prepared according to it are explained in more detail by the following examples and test results:

Fresh frozen plasma is thawed at between 0.degree. and +4.degree. C. and the cryoprecipitate formed therein is separated by centrifugation. The cryo supernatant is adjusted with 0.5 N hydrochloric acid to pH 7.0, 5 g of kaolin per 1 liter cryo supernatant are added and the mixture is stirred at +4.degree. C. for one hour. Thereupon kaolin is separated by centrifuging. The generated substance FEIBA is then adsorbed to DEAE-Sephadex -- together with the factors of the prothrombin complex.

For this purpose, 0.5 g DEAE-Sephadex A-50 were added per 1 l of kaolin supernatant and stirred for half an hour at +4.degree. C. The DEAE-Sephadex is separated; the supernatant plasma can be used for preparing gamma globulin and albumin; DEAE-Sephadex is subjected to a double washing process with a trisodium citrate-sodium chloride solution, a pH-value of 7.5 being maintained.

For elution, the DEAE-Sephadex is stirred for 20 minutes with 3% sodium chloride, 0.1% trisodium citrate.2H.sub.2 O (2% of the original plasma volume), and the eluate is obtained by filtration. The latter is dialysed over night against 0.05% trisodium citrate.2H.sub.2 O, 0.1% sodium chloride solution at pH 7.0 at +4.degree. C., then frozen and subjected to a first lyophilization process (bulk). In the bulk-material the FEIB-activity as well as the activity of the factors of the prothrombin complex are determined.

For producing the pharmaceutically acceptable preparation with FEIB-activity, the ratio of the units of factor II-VII-IX-X to FEIBA-units is to be between 0.5 and 2; this can be effected by mixing of suitable bulk-batches. The bulk-material is dissolved with distilled, pyrogen-free water, so that the FEIB-activity amounts to between 10 and 50 FEIBA-units per ml (in the present case 25 FEIBA-units per ml). After addition of the salts required for an isotonic solution and adjusting the pH to between 7.0 and 7.5, the solution is cleared through membrane filters and is finally sterile filtered through an 0.2 .mu.m membrane filter. The solution is filled into the final containers under sterile conditions in 20 ml portions, deepfrozen and lyophilized.

As starting material, again fresh frozen plasma or cryo supernatant resulting therefrom, respectively, is used. To the cryo supernatant, without a pH-adjustment (native pH = 7.8), 10 g of celite 512 per 1 liter of cryo supernatant are added and stirred for 3 hours at +4.degree. C. After separation of the celite by centrifuging, the preparation containing the generated FEIBA is worked up in the same manner as in Example 1.

On the final preparations, beside the usual safety tests for sterility, general safety, freedom from pyrogens, and absence of HB.sub.s -antigen, tests for potency (FEIB-activity), the content of prothrombin complex factors, thrombin content as well as amidolytic activity with the three substrates S-2160, S-2222 and S-2251 were carried out.
