Abstract: | Replacement therapy with factor IX (FIX) concentrates is the recommended treatment for patients with hemophilia B, an X-linked bleeding disorder occurring in 1:25,000 male births. N9-GP is a recombinant FIX molecule with a prolonged half-life which is obtained by site-directed glycoPEGylation where a 40-kDa polyethylene glycol molecule is attached to the activation peptide of FIX. This first human dose trial in patients with hemophilia B investigated the safety and pharmacokinetic properties of a single IV dose of N9-GP. Sixteen previously treated patients received one dose of their previous FIX product followed by one dose of N9-GP at the same dose level (25, 50, or 100 U/kg). None of the patients developed inhibitors. One patient developed transient hypersensitivity symptoms during administration of N9-GP and was excluded from pharmacokinetic analyses. In the remaining 15 patients, N9-GP was well-tolerated. The half-life was 93 hours, which was 5 times higher than the patient's previous product. The incremental recovery of N9-GP was 94% and 20% higher compared with recombinant and plasma-derived products, respectively. These results indicate that N9-GP has the potential to reduce dosing frequency while providing effective treatment of bleeding episodes with a single dose. The trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00956345. |
