Real-World Effectiveness and Usage of Recombinant Factor IX Fc: Interim Analysis in Paediatric Patients from the 24-Month, Prospective, Non-Interventional B-MORE Study
Authors
Introduction: B-MORE (NCT03901755) is an ongoing, 24-month prospective, non-interventional, international study evaluating the real-world effectiveness and usage of extended half-life recombinant factor IX Fc (rFIXFc; Alprolix®) in patients with haemophilia B (PwHB).
Method: PwHB were prescribed rFIXFc on demand (OD) or prophylaxis (PPX) prior to/at B-MORE study entry. Interim data from the first 12 months of rFIXFc treatment (retrospective/prospective periods) were analysed for paediatric PwHB (age grouped by<12/12–<18 years) with≥6 months on the same rFIXFc regimen.
Results: At data cut-off (6 Oct 2022), a total of 151 PwHB were enrolled in B-MORE; 69 paediatric PwHB were included in this analysis (62 of 69 initiated rFIXFc before enrolment) with a median (range) age of 8.3 (1–<18) years (no inhibitor history). Of these paediatric PwHB, 54 were<12 years (all males; 42 severe, 11 moderate, 1 mild disease; 10 were previously untreated) and 15 were 12–<18 years (1 female; 12 severe, 3 moderate disease). At enrolment, 1 patient (12–<18 years) had joint surgery history and no patients had target joints. Overall, 67 PwHB received rFIXFc PPX (64 remained on PPX from rFIXFc initiation and 3 PwHB<12 years switched from rFIXFc OD at initiation) and 2 PwHB (n=1<12 years, mild disease; n=1 12–<18 years, severe) remained on rFIXFc OD from initiation. Median (range) duration on rFIXFc PPX was 33.5 (7–71) months for PwHB<12 years (n=53) and 30.2 (15–65) months for PwHB 12–<18 years (n=14). An intra-patient comparison of 31 PwHB (with≥6 months prior FIX PPX and≥9 months rFIXFc PPX) showed the mean (SD) total annualised bleeding rate reduced from 2.9 (4.8) pre-rFIXFc initiation to 1.0 (1.7) during the first 12 months in PwHB<12 years (n=22) and from 0.8 (1.0) to 0.4 (0.7) in PwHB 12–<18 years (n=9). Mean (SD) weekly factor consumption and injection frequency were reduced by 26 (29) IU/kg and 0.7 (0.4) injections in PwHB<12 years, and 25 (20) IU/kg and 1.2 (0.4) injections in PwHB 12–<18 years. No inhibitor development or serious adverse events related to rFIXFc were reported at data cut-off.
Conclusion: Interim real-world B-MORE data indicate rFIXFc is effective and well tolerated in paediatric PwHB, with improved bleed protection and reduced factor usage versus prior FIX PPX.
