According Figure 1 included in that publication6:

  • Peak in P1 and P3 (higher FIX levels) observed between W14 - W22 
  • Peak in P2 (lower FIX levels) observed at W26
  • As of 262 and 366 weeks, there were no bleeds post-treatment
  • As reported in the 3-year outcomes article7:
    • Complete elimination of bleeds occurred in 2/3 participants
    • One participant required on-demand FIX replacement therapy post treatment per protocol
      • Due to elective surgeries for 2 reported bleeding episodes
      • And twice for a single self-administered infusion due to an unreported reason
  • As of 36 weeks, there was no requirement for FIX replacement aside from protocol-specified use for perioperative management in P36
  • The 3-year outcomes reported in this article7 revealed the following observations:
    • All participants discontinued FIX prophylaxis
    • 1/3 of the pts. required on-demand FIX replacement therapy post-treatment, as per the protocol
Safety Details

No infusion related reactions were reported

In P1, 2 AEs possibly related to etranacogene dezaparvovec were reported here26 as follows:

  • Self-limiting headache on day of dosing
  • Mild elevation in CRP level (7.4 mg/L; reference range, 0-3 mg/L) on day 14 post treatment that resolved without intervention

Notably, the published 3-year outcomes of the Phase 2b trial7 did not report any additional AEs 

Not reported

  • 1/3 pts. (P1), non-clinically significant (44 IU/L at week 22)2
  • No pts. required steroids related to the treatment26-7

1/3 pts. (P2), non-clinically significant (43-48 IU/L at weeks 2 and 4)2

In 3/3 pts., no T-cell-mediated anti-AAV5 capsid responses were detected during W1 through W262

Not applicable (resolved without steroid treatment)26
