REDUCED BLEEDING AND IMPROVED JOINT HEALTH VS FIX ON-DEMAND13
Reinforcing the benefits of prophylactic factor treatment13
A retrospective review of six haemophilia treatment centres across the US for patients
switching from previous FIX on-demand treatment to ALPROLIX prophylaxis reported:13
Numerical decrease in bleed rates13
ABRs improved numerically with ALPROLIX vs pre-switch FIX on-demand13
Median bleed rates pre- and post-switch: on-demand treatment to ALPROLIX prophylaxis
(n=10)*13
Improvements in joint health13
At the end of the chart review period,
32% (17/53)
of target joints
had resolved13
47% (9/19) of patients
did not report a target joint13
*Included patients with available ABR data pre- and post-switch to ALPROLIX prophylaxis.13
ABR, annualised bleeding rate; FIX, factor IX; IQR, interquartile range.
Specific adverse events that were collected and recorded during ALPROLIX
therapy
included hypersensitivity (including anaphylaxis), nephrotic syndrome and
thrombosis/thromboembolism. Other adverse events were not collected in this review13
Reported safety outcome:
One patient experienced an AE of hypersensitivity,
which was not associated with
inhibitor development13
AE, adverse event; FIX, factor IX.
A multicentre, retrospective chart review was conducted of patients with
haemophilia B
who had received ALPROLIX prophylaxis or on-demand
treatment for ≥6 months across six
sites in the US:*13
N=64 eligible patients
- Mild (n=9)
- Moderate
(n=17)
- Severe haemophilia B (n=38)
Pre-switch regimen:
- On-demand (n=29)
- Prophylaxis (n=34)
- Missing data (n=1)
Endpoints included
changes in the FIX therapy
dosing interval, factor
consumption, ABR (including
overall, spontaneous and
joint), adherence, reason
for switching and target
joint outcomes
*Primary objective: To understand the clinical characteristics and outcomes resulting from the real-world management of patients with haemophilia B being treated with ALPROLIX.13
ABR, annualised bleeding rate; FIX, factor IX.
