Pediatric Efficacy


When every bleed counts, ALPROLIX can help protect* pediatric patients every step of the way

*ALPROLIX has been proven to help patients prevent bleeding episodes using a prophylaxis regimen.1

ALPROLIX® was studied in more pediatric PTPs than any other factor IX EHL

BLEEDS FOR 1 IN 3 PATIENTS

(IP PATIENTS)
(n=10/30)

Pediatric patients were studied up to 4.8 years, from the beginning of the kinds B-Long trial to the end of the B-Yond Trial2,11

From the individualized prophylaxis arm of the Kids B-LONG trial.[RM(F1] 

‡10 out of 30 children, or 33%, reported no bleeds at all during the Kids B-LONG trial.
 

ALPROLIX was demonstrated effective in the B-LONG trial, and long-term efficacy in the B-YOND trial

Kids B-LONG was a phase 3 open-label study investigating the safety and efficacy of ALPROLIX in 30 PTPs aged ≤11 years with severe hemophilia. The number of patients 1 to 5 years of age was 15, and 6 to 11 years of age was 15. All 30 patients were treated with ALPROLIX on an individualized prophylactic regimen.

B-YOND was an open-label extension trial that studied the long-term safety and efficacy of ALPROLIX over 5 years in 120 adult, adolescent, and pediatric patients previously treated in Kids B-LONG or B-LONG. Study arms included: fixed-interval (n=74), fixed-dose (n=36), modified prophylaxis (n=17), and on-demand (n=15).x

From the prophylaxis arm of the PUPs B-LONG trial.

ALPROLIX was demonstrated effective in the PUPs B-LONG trial

PUPs B-LONG was a phase 3 open-label study investigating the safety and efficacy of ALPROLIX in 33 PUPs aged <18 years with moderate or severe hemophilia B. At enrollment, the median age was 0.6 years (0.1-2 years). Study arms included: prophylaxis (n=28) and on-demand (n=5).

Dosing simplicity for pediatric patients and their caregivers

One single, simple starting dose:  For children aged ≤11 years, the recommended prophylaxis starting regimen is 60 IU/kg once weekly

Flexibility for the unexpected: Dose and regimen can be adjusted based on patient response

~93% of pediatric patients maintained or extended their dosing interval through the B-YOND trial.

ALPROLIX on-demand: bleed control for pediatric PTPs and PUPs

ALPROLIX stopped most bleeds with 1 or 2 infusions

During the trials, 7 first injections in children were not evaluated for response, so they are not included in this analysis. 
Excellent response was defined as sudden pain relief and/or improvement in signs of bleeding. Good response was defined as definite pain relief and/or improvement in signs of bleeding but possibly requiring another injection in 1 or 2 days.

ALPROLIX offers pediatric patients hemostatic control for both major and minor surgeries

Spotlight on pediatric surgical patients

While the ALPROLIX surgical data was pooled, here is how the pediatric subpopulation is reflected in these numbers:

  • Major surgeries in pediatric PTPs: 1 (B-YOND Trial)
  • Minor surgeries in pediatric PTPs: 3 (B-LONG Trial) + 2 (B-YOND Trial)

*Patients were classified by parent study. Data were derived from surgeries performed during the B-LONG trial, Kids B-LONG trial, and B-YOND extension trial. Those who underwent major and minor surgery were included in both cohorts.8 Subjects had more than one major surgery.

 

Patients undergoing major surgery had an excellent or good hemostatic response with ALPROLIX

  • The median average dose per injection to maintain hemostasis during surgery was 94.7 IU/kg (range: 49 to 152). Perioperative factor IX replacement with ALPROLIX was by bolus infusion only. The safety of continuous infusion was not evaluated
  • 80% (28 of 35) of the major surgeries required a single perioperative dose to maintain hemostasis during surgery
  • Hemostasis was assessed by the investigator after surgery

INDICATION:

ALPROLIX is a recombinant DNA derived, coagulation Factor IX concentrate indicated in adults and children with hemophilia B for:

  • On-demand treatment and control of bleeding episodes
  • Perioperative management of bleeding
  • Routine prophylaxis to reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes

Limitation of Use

ALPROLIX is not indicated for induction of immune tolerance in patients with hemophilia B.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

CONTRAINDICATIONS:

ALPROLIX is contraindicated in patients who have a known history of hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, to the product or its excipients.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS:

  • Allergic-type hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, are possible with factor replacement therapies, and have been reported with ALPROLIX. Discontinue use of ALPROLIX if hypersensitivity symptoms occur, and initiate appropriate treatment.
  • Formation of neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) to Factor IX has been reported following administration of ALPROLIX. Patients using ALPROLIX should be monitored for the development of Factor IX inhibitors. Clotting assays (e.g., one-stage) may be used to confirm that adequate Factor IX levels have been achieved and maintained.
  • The use of Factor IX products has been associated with the development of thromboembolic complications.
  • Nephrotic syndrome has been reported following attempted immune tolerance induction in hemophilia B patients with Factor IX inhibitors and a history of allergic reactions to Factor IX. The safety and efficacy of using ALPROLIX for immune tolerance induction have not been established.

ADVERSE REACTIONS:

The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥1%) in previously untreated patients were injection site erythema, hypersensitivity, and Factor IX inhibition. The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥1%) in previously treated patients were headache, oral paresthesia, and obstructive uropathy.
