Abstract


Background

Efanesoctocog alfa (formerly BIVV001) is a first-in-class high-sustained factor VIII (FVIII) replacement therapy uniquely designed to increase recombinant FVIII (rFVIII) half-life in part by decoupling FVIII from endogenous von Willebrand factor. The Phase 1 sequential pharmacokinetic (PK) study (NCT05042440; EudraCT 2021-000228-37) assessed PK and safety outcomes for rFVIII in previously treated patients following sequential single doses of standard half-life FVIII (SHL, octocog alfa), extended half-life FVIII (EHL, rurioctocog alfa pegol), and efanesoctocog alfa. Efanesoctocog alfa had a 2.8–3.9-fold longer elimination half-life and 3.6–6.0-fold greater area under the curve (AUC) versus rurioctocog alfa pegol and octocog alfa, respectively.

Objective

To analyze individual patient-level PK profiles in the sequential PK study.

Methods

The study included previously treated male patients (≥150 exposure days of prior FVIII treatment with any recombinant and/or plasma-derived FVIII and/or cryoprecipitate products), 18–65 years of age, with severe hemophilia A (<1 IU/dL endogenous FVIII). Patients received sequential single 50 IU/kg doses of octocog alfa, rurioctocog alfa pegol, and efanesoctocog alfa after appropriate washout. Here, demographics/baseline characteristics, time points above 15% and 40% FVIII levels, and PK parameters (half-life [t1/2], AUC, clearance [CL], maximum FVIII activity [Cmax], incremental recovery [IR]) were assessed at the individual patient level for octocog alfa, rurioctocog alfa pegol, and efanesoctocog alfa.

Results

Thirteen male patients were enrolled, aged 26–47 years (mean [standard deviation, SD] 36.8 [6.5] years), with a mean (SD) weight of 87.8 (18.9) kg. In individual patient level comparisons, all patients experienced a longer t½ and greater AUC with efanesoctocog alfa than with octocog alfa or rurioctocog alfa pegol (geometric mean [geometric SD] t1/2: octocog alfa, 11.0 [1.5] h; rurioctocog alfa pegol, 15.4 [1.4] h; efanesoctocog alfa, 43.3 [1.3] h; Figure 1). All patients experienced more days above 15%, and 40% FVIII activity levels with efanesoctocog alfa compared with octocog alfa or rurioctocog alfa pegol (average of ~4 days above 40% activity with efanesoctocog alfa vs <1 and 1 day for octocog alfa and rurioctocog alfa pegol, respectively; Figure 2). Clearance was lower with efanesoctocog alfa than with octocog alfa or rurioctocog alfa pegol in all patients. The spread of clearance data indicates lower interpatient variability with efanesoctocog alfa (geometric mean [geometric SD] CL: octocog alfa 3.0 [1.5] mL/h/kg; rurioctocog alfa pegol 1.8 [1.4] mL/h/kg; efanesoctocog alfa: 0.5 [1.2] mL/h/kg). Cmax and IR were similar for all 3 FVIII therapies tested (Figure 1). There were 3 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) while receiving efanesoctocog alfa in 1 patient (2 mild and 1 moderate) and none reported for other treatments. No TEAEs were serious, led to treatment discontinuation, or were deemed related to efanesoctocog alfa treatment.

Conclusion

Consistent superiority regarding  time over 40% FVIII activity, half-life, clearance, and FVIII exposure were observed with efanesoctocog alfa compared with SHL and EHL FVIII in all patients. No serious TEAEs or inhibitor development were reported for efanesoctocog alfa.
