Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Assessment of Reformulated Recombinant Coagulation Factor IX in Adults and Children with Severe Hemophilia B

Abstract Abstract 1190 Introduction: The goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two prophylaxis regimens of reformulated recombinant coagulation factor IX (rFIX-R), 100 IU/kg once weekly and 50 IU/kg twice weekly, compared with on-demand treatment in subjects with severe hemophilia B. Patients and Methods: Pharmacokinetic data were collected for 47 subjects aged 6 to 64 years with severe hemophilia B. Factor IX activity (FIX:C) measurements were made immediately before rFIX-R administration and at 0.5 hours post-administration of either 100 IU/kg or 50 IU/kg doses, to assess recovery before the initiation of each weekly regimen. Another FIX:C sample was collected at least 72 hours after dosing during each regimen. All samples were analyzed at local laboratories. Results: The mean prophylactic doses of rFIX-R administered were 86 ± 29 IU/kg in the 100 IU/kg once-weekly group and 53 ± 14 IU/kg in the 50 IU/kg twice-weekly group. The treatment comparison between the two prophylaxis regimens for annualized bleeding rate was not significant (LS mean = 2.0; 95% CI, −1.2 – 5.2; n=43), although both were significantly different from the on-demand treatment period (both, P C0hr(IU/dL) C0.5hr(IU/dL) Recovery (IU/dL/IU/kg) Ctrough(IU/dL) 50 IU/kg (n=41) Mean 3.57 49.9 0.93 6.38 SD 3.11 16.1 0.31 4.63 Min 0 0.6 0.002 0.3 Median 3.0 49.9 0.9 5.0 Max 14.0 83.0 1.51 27.0 100 IU/kg (n=43) Mean 3.10 91.5 0.91 6.31 SD 2.19 28.9 0.35 5.41 Min 0 1.12 0.011 0.04 Median 2.7 95.1 0.93 4.9 Max 10.0 146 2.32 24.0 C indicates plasma concentration. The number (%) of observed trough plasma concentrations (Ctrough) that fell into the mild (>5%) range for hemophilia were 18 (45%) and 19 (48%) for the r-FIX-R 100 IU/kg once-weekly and 50 IU/kg twice-weekly groups, respectively. However, the severe phenotype was observed in 4 (10%) and 3 (7%) subjects, respectively. Conclusions: The pharmacokinetics of r-FIX-R are dose proportional. The C0.5hr increased in proportion to the dose administered. Recovery was consistent between the two prophylaxis regimens. Both regimens provided similar therapeutic results for Ctrough. The apparent difference in time after dose of new bleeding events between the 2 regimens is intriguing and deserves further study. Disclosures: Korth-Bradley: Pfizer Inc: Employment.
