Multicenter StudySafety, Immunogenicity, and Hemostatic Efficacy of Nonacog Gamma in Patients With Severe or Moderately Severe Hemophilia B: A Continuation Study.
This phase 3, prospective, open-label, multicenter, continuation study (NCT01286779) investigated the use of a recombinant factor IX (FIX), nonacog gamma (BAX 326, RIXUBIS®) in patients with severe or moderately severe hemophilia B. The study population included 85 patients transitioning from a phase 1/3 pivotal study (NCT01174446), a pediatric study (NCT01488994), and 30 newly recruited patients, naïve to nonacog gamma. Patients received nonacog gamma as prophylaxis treatment (standard, modified or PK-tailored) or on-demand, as determined by the investigator. ⋯ The annualized bleeding rate was considerably lower during prophylactic treatment (median ABR of 1.3 in 108 patients) than during on-demand treatment (median ABR of 16.5 in 13 patients). These results show that in previously treated patients and nonacog gamma-naïve patients, long-term use of nonacog gamma had acceptable safety and tolerability, and was efficacious as a prophylactic treatment for the management of bleeding episodes.
