Abstract
Background: The pathfinder6 (NCT02137850) international phase 3 trial examined immunogenicity, safety, and efficacy of the extended half-life factor VIII (FVIII) replacement product N8-GP (turoctocog alfa pegol; Esperoct) in previously untreated patients (PUPs) with hemophilia A. Objectives: We present end-of trial results for extended PUP N8-GP treatment for up to a median (range) 2.5 (0.0; 7.4) years. Patients/Methods: Longer-term N8-GP treatment in PUPs with hemophilia A was examined. The prophylaxis regimen was ∼60 IU/kg N8-GP i.v. twice weekly, or every 3 or 7 days. The primary endpoint was the incidence of FVIII inhibitors. Results: Overall, 81 patients received N8-GP and were included in this analysis. The inhibitor incidence was 30.0% (15.7% high-titer [>5 BU]) for the extension phase. Patients had a median (range) 2.9 (0.1; 7.2) years of prophylaxis following the pre-prophylaxis period. During prophylaxis, the median annualized bleeding rate (ABR) (interquartile range) was 1.4 (0.6; 3.5), 13% of patients experienced no bleeding episodes, and 55.1% of patients experienced no spontaneous bleeds. The proportion of patients without any spontaneous bleeding episodes increased after the first year of prophylaxis. The hemostatic success rate in the treatment of bleeding episodes was 87.6%. No additional safety concerns were observed in patients with previously reported observation of temporarily decreased incremental recovery (IR). Conclusion: Long-term end-of-trial PUP N8-GP prophylaxis data indicate that PUPs respond well to long-term N8-GP treatment. The inhibitor incidence was consistent with previous results. Median ABR during prophylaxis was 1.4. There were no lasting clinical impacts or safety concerns for patients with an observation of temporarily decreased IR.
