Fitusiran, a subcutaneous investigational small interfering RNA therapeutic, targets antithrombin to rebalance hemostasis in people with hemophilia A or B (PwHA/B), irrespective of inhibitor status. This phase 3, open-label study evaluated the efficacy and safety of fitusiran prophylaxis in males aged ≥12 years with hemophilia A or B, with or without inhibitors, who received prior bypassing agent (BPA)/clotting factor concentrate (CFC) prophylaxis. Participants continued their prior BPA/CFC prophylaxis for 6 months before switching to once-monthly 80 mg fitusiran prophylaxis for 7 months (onset and efficacy periods). Primary end point was annualized bleeding rate (ABR) in the BPA/CFC prophylaxis and fitusiran efficacy period. Secondary end points included spontaneous ABR (AsBR) and joint ABR (AjBR). Safety and tolerability were assessed. Of 80 enrolled participants, 65 (inhibitor, n = 19; noninhibitor, n = 46) were eligible for ABR analyses. Observed median ABRs were 6.5 (interquartile range [IQR], 2.2-19.6)/4.4 (IQR, 2.2-8.7) with BPA/CFC prophylaxis vs 0.0 (IQR, 0.0-0.0)/0.0 (IQR, 0.0-2.7) in the corresponding fitusiran efficacy period. Estimated mean ABRs were substantially reduced with fitusiran by 79.7% (P = .0021) and 46.4% (P = .0598) vs BPA/CFC prophylaxis, respectively. Forty-one participants (63.1%) experienced 0 treated bleeds with fitusiran vs 11 (16.9%) with BPAs/CFCs. Median AsBR and AjBR were both 2.2 with BPA/CFC prophylaxis and 0.0 in the fitusiran efficacy period. Two participants (3.0%) experienced suspected or confirmed thromboembolic events with fitusiran. Once-monthly fitusiran prophylaxis significantly reduced bleeding events vs BPA/CFC prophylaxis in PwHA/B, with or without inhibitors, and reported adverse events were generally consistent with previously identified risks of fitusiran. This trial was registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov as #NCT03549871.
菲替司他,一种皮下注射的小干扰 RNA 治疗药物,可靶向抗凝血酶以重新平衡血友病 A 或 B(PwHA/B)患者的止血平衡,无论是否存在抑制剂。这项 3 期、开放标签研究评估了菲替司他预防治疗在既往接受旁路物(BPA)/凝血因子浓缩物(CFC)预防治疗的伴或不伴抑制剂的 12 岁及以上血友病 A 或 B 男性中的疗效和安全性。参与者在开始接受每月一次 80mg 菲替司他预防治疗的 7 个月前,继续接受之前的 BPA/CFC 预防治疗 6 个月(BPA/CFC 预防治疗和菲替司他疗效期)。主要终点是 BPA/CFC 预防治疗和菲替司他疗效期的年化出血率(ABR)。次要终点包括自发性 ABR(AsBR)和关节 ABR(AjBR)。评估了安全性和耐受性。在 80 名入组的参与者中,有 65 名(抑制剂,n=19;非抑制剂,n=46)符合 ABR 分析的条件。接受 BPA/CFC 预防治疗的观察到的中位 ABR 分别为 6.5(四分位距 [IQR],2.2-19.6)/4.4(IQR,2.2-8.7),而相应的菲替司他疗效期的中位 ABR 分别为 0.0(IQR,0.0-0.0)/0.0(IQR,0.0-2.7)。与 BPA/CFC 预防治疗相比,菲替司他的估计平均 ABR 分别显著降低了 79.7%(P=0.0021)和 46.4%(P=0.0598)。41 名参与者(63.1%)接受菲替司他治疗后无 1 例治疗性出血,而 11 名参与者(16.9%)接受 BPA/CFCs 治疗后无 1 例治疗性出血。接受 BPA/CFC 预防治疗的中位 AsBR 和 AjBR 均为 2.2,而菲替司他疗效期的中位 AsBR 和 AjBR 均为 0.0。2 名参与者(3.0%)接受菲替司他治疗后发生疑似或确诊的血栓栓塞事件。与 BPA/CFC 预防治疗相比,每月接受一次菲替司他预防治疗可显著降低血友病 A 或 B 患者(伴或不伴抑制剂)的出血事件,报告的不良事件通常与菲替司他先前确定的风险一致。该试验在 www.ClinicalTrials.gov 上注册,编号为 #NCT03549871。
