According Figure 1 included in that publication7:

  • Peak in P1 and P3 (higher FIX levels) observed between W14 - W22 
  • Peak in P2 (lower FIX levels) observed at W26

Early and intermediate outcomes on bleeding events and episodes, as reported in References #3, #7 and #8,, are summarized as follows:

  • At 263 and 527  weeks, no bleeds were reported post-treatment
  • As reported in the 3-year outcomes article (Reference #8):
    • Complete elimination of bleeds occurred in 2 of 3 participants
    • One participant required on-demand FIX replacement therapy after 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

Final results on bleeding rates from the Phase IIb study, as reported in Reference #9, are summarized as follows:

  • Cumulative mean ABRs:
    • 0.22 for Years 0–3
    • 0.17 for Years 0–4
    • 0.14 for Years 0–5
  • Overall bleeding outcomes:
    • No bleeds reported after Year 2
    • No joint bleeds during the entire 5-year follow-up
  • Individual participant data:
    • 2 participants: ABR = 0 over 5 years (100% reduction vs. baseline)
    • 1 participant (Participant 3): ABR = 0.42 at 5 years (92% reduction)
      • Experienced 2 bleeds in Year 2 (1 spontaneous, 1 traumatic),
        • both controlled with single self-administered on-demand FIX infusion
      • Required FIX for 3 hip surgeries (episodic use, not counted as bleeds)
      • Used 2 additional self-administered FIX infusions for unreported reasons

Early and intermediate outcomes on FIX use, as reported in References #6 and #8, are summarized as follows:

  • 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 article8 revealed the following observations:
    • All participants discontinued FIX prophylaxis
    • One of three participants required on-demand FIX replacement therapy after treatment, as per protocol

Final results on exogenous FIX use from the Phase IIb study, as reported in Reference #9, are summarized as follows:

  • Discontinuation of continuous FIX prophylaxis:
    • All 3 participants discontinued within 1–4 days after treatment.
  • Decrease in mean annualized exogenous FIX use (excluding invasive procedures):
    • From 306 205 IU/y in the year before screening (per medical records).
    • To 605 IU/y over the entire 5-year study period.
    • And to 342 IU/y in the post-continuous prophylaxis period.
  • Episodic FIX use (annualized mean):
    • 2 participants with ABR = 0 IU/y
    • 1 participant with 2 bleeding events: 1026 IU/y

More detailed data on exogenous FIX consumption, extracted from Table 2 of Reference #9, are presented in the table below.

Footnotes:

  • Data collected retrospectively 1 year before screening from medical records.
  • †Post-continuous FIX prophylaxis defined as a combination of 3 events:
    1. Study drug administered
    2. Uncontaminated FIX activity (after treatment) ≥5%
    3. No exogenous FIX used for ≥15 days after study drug administration
Safety Details

No infusion related reactions were reported

In early and intermediate outcomes, as reported in References #3 and #7, two AEs possibly related to etranacogene dezaparvovec, observed in P1, are summarized 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

Final results on adverse events (AEs) from the Phase IIb study, as reported in Reference #9, are summarized as follows:

  • Overall AEs:
    • 84 treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) over 5 years.
    • 96% were mild or moderate (55 mild, 26 moderate, 3 severe)
  • Treatment-related AEs (TRAEs):
    • Reported in 1 participant (P1 at Year 1 only):
      • Headache
      • Transient elevation of C-reactive protein (resolved without treatment).
    • No TRAEs or serious TRAEs were reported in Years 2–5
  • Serious AEs (unrelated to treatment):
    • P3: worsening avascular necrosis in both hips
      • Underwent 3 hip surgeries
        • Femoral head decompression on Day 197
        • Arthroplasties on Day 720 and Day 1672

Data on ALT elevations during the early and intermediate follow-up period after gene therapy were extracted from References  and are summarized as follows:  Data on ALT elevations during the early and intermediate follow-up period after gene therapy, as reported in References #3, #7, #8 and #9 are summarized as follows:

  • 1/3 participants (P1): non-clinically significant elevations (44 IU/L at week 22)3
  • No participants required steroids related to the treatment378, 9

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