Introduction: Prophylaxis with recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) is the current standard of care for haemophilia A. Several approaches have been used to extend the half-life of rFVIII to improve prophylaxis outcomes. An indirect comparison of pivotal clinical trial data was performed to evaluate the relative efficacy of two extended half-life therapies approved for the prophylactic treatment of haemophilia A: recombinant FVIII-IgG Fc domain fusion protein (rFVIIIFc) and pegylated rFVIII (BAY 94-9027).
Methods: Matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) was conducted to compare the rFVIIIFc individualised prophylaxis arm of the A-LONG phase III clinical trial (n = 117) and the BAY 94-9027 approved dosing regimens of the PROTECT VIII phase II/III study (n = 110). Following matching for baseline characteristics, mean annualised bleeding rate (ABR) and the proportion of patients with zero bleeds were compared for rFVIIIFc and BAY 94-9027. Additional supportive analyses comparing rFVIIIFc individualised prophylaxis and the individual prophylaxis regimens included in the PROTECT VIII group (twice weekly, and every 5 and 7 days [Q5D and Q7D]) were conducted.
Results: Mean ABR was lower in the rFVIIIFc individualised prophylaxis group versus the BAY 94-9027 pooled prophylaxis population (3.0 versus 4.9), providing a clinically relevant and statistically significant difference (mean difference [MD] - 1.9; 95% confidence interval [CI] - 3.5 to - 0.4). A statistically significant difference in ABR was also observed for rFVIIIFc compared with BAY 94-9027 Q7D (3.2 versus 6.4; MD - 3.3; 95% CI - 6.4 to - 0.2). The difference in the proportion of patients with zero bleeds between rFVIIIFc (46.5%) and BAY 94-9027 pooled prophylaxis population (38.2%) was not statistically significant (odds ratio 1.4; 95% CI 0.8 to 2.5).
Conclusions: This indirect treatment comparison indicates a statistically significant and clinically relevant difference in ABR favouring individualised prophylaxis with rFVIIIFc versus BAY 94-9027 prophylaxis. The proportion of patients with zero bleeds was numerically greater with rFVIIIFc treatment but did not achieve statistical significance.

Fitusiran is an investigational small interfering RNA therapeutic that targets antithrombin (AT) to rebalance hemostasis in people with hemophilia. Here, we present the results of a completed phase 2 open-label extension study, which evaluated the long-term safety and efficacy of fitusiran in participants with moderate or severe hemophilia A or B, with or without inhibitors. Male participants who had completed the phase 1 study (ClinicalTrials.

Objectives: Health information for 17 109 people living with hemophilia A (PLwHA) is contained within the ATHNdataset. We aimed to evaluate the real-world effectiveness of damoctocog alfa pegol (BAY 94-9027, Jivi®) for hemophilia A.
Methods: The ATHNdataset was queried for PLwHA receiving damoctocog alfa pegol between January 1, 2010 and April 30, 2022.

Damoctocog alfa pegol (BAY 94-9027, Jivi), is a site-specifically PEGylated, extended half-life recombinant factor VIII (FVIII) that is approved in several European and non-European countries for on-demand treatment and prophylaxis of bleeding in previously treated patients aged ≥ 12 years with hemophilia A. Reliable measurements can be obtained using most one-stage and chromogenic FVIII assays over a wide concentration range. The efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of damoctocog alfa pegol have been studied extensively in the PROTECT VIII clinical trials, and its long-term safety and effectiveness profile is continuing to build through observational and interventional real-world studies.

Introduction: The phase 2/3 PROTECT VIII study demonstrated long-term efficacy and safety of damoctocog alfa pegol (BAY 94-9027; Jivi®), a B-domain-deleted recombinant factor VIII (FVIII), site-specifically PEGylated to improve its pharmacokinetic profile. We report a post hoc assessment of bleeding and safety outcomes in the subgroup of patients, aged 12-<18 years at enrolment.
Method: PROTECT VIII was a multicentre, open-label study of previously treated males aged 12-65 years with severe haemophilia A (FVIII <1%).
