Background: Simoctocog alfa (Nuwiq®) is a human cell line-derived recombinant human FVIII that was developed with the aim to provide a low immunogenicity product with excellent haemostatic efficacy for people with haemophilia A. The efficacy and safety of Nuwiq® have been demonstrated in clinical trials of previously treated patients (PTPs) and previously untreated patients with severe haemophilia A.
Aims: To assess the long-term immunogenicity, safety and efficacy of Nuwiq® in a pooled analysis of PTPs with haemophilia A.
Methods: Data from patients who received Nuwiq® prophylaxis for ≥100 exposure days in two observational and four interventional post-authorisation studies were pooled. These studies included male PTPs with severe haemophilia A (FVIII:C < 1%); one study included patients with FVIII:C ≤2%. Cut-off dates were used for studies ongoing at the time of database lock.
Results: Demographics of the 216 patients included in the analysis are shown in Table 1. There were no reports of inhibitor development in any patient. Twelve adverse drug reactions occurred in 8 patients; one was serious (mild pyrexia requiring hospitalisation) but resolved and treatment was continued. No thromboembolic events occurred. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) duration of prophylaxis was 16.8 months (9.4–24.4); 108 (50.0%) patients experienced no spontaneous bleeding episodes (BEs) during prophylaxis. Median (IQR) annualised bleeding rates were 0.11 (0–1.45), 0.50 (0–1.95) and 1.78 (0–4.24) for spontaneous, traumatic and all BEs, respectively. A total of 1011 BEs in 152 patients were treated with Nuwiq®. Most BEs (860 [85.1%]) resolved with ≤2 infusions of Nuwiq®; treatment efficacy was rated excellent or good for the majority (84.3%) of BEs. Of 36 surgeries with a postoperative rating by a haematologist, 31 (86.1%) were rated successful.
Conclusion(s): These pooled long-term data from PTPs confirm the safety and efficacy of Nuwiq® demonstrated previously in clinical trials.
