Efficacy and Safety of AlphaNine Versus BeneFIX in Patients With Severe Hereditary Haemophilia B

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Hemophilia B
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03091751
Lead Sponsor
Grifols Biologicals, LLC
Brief Summary

The goal of this non-randomized, multi-center study in subjects with severe hereditary haemophilia B was to determine and compare the pharmacokinetic and safety profiles of BeneFIX in subjects having had 2 prior pharmacokinetic assessments with AlphaNine.

Detailed Description

Two pharmacokinetic assessments (studies) were carried out in the same subjects during a previous clinical trial. The first pharmacokinetic study (PK1) was performed after a single dose of AlphaNine. The second pharmacokinetic study (PK2) was performed following 26 Weeks of AlphaNine treatment after PK1. To compare AlphaNine with BeneFIX, a third pharmacokinetic study (PK3) (current study) was performed after a single dose of BeneFIX administered following a 7- to 15-day wash-out period.

The main objective of the PK3 study was to assess the pharmacokinetic profile of BeneFIX and compare to the pharmacokinetic profile of AlphaNine from the PK2 study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Difference of In Vivo Recovery: BeneFIX Compared to AlphaNineBaseline (prior to the infusion), and at 15 and 30 minutes, 1, 3, 6, 9, 24, 48, 72, and 74 hours following a single dose infusion of BeneFIX administered following a 7 to 15 day wash-out period.

BeneFIX pharmacokinetic parameter of in vivo recovery was assessed and compared to the AlphaNine pharmacokinetic parameter (PK2 Study).

Mean Difference of Area Under the Curve (AUC): BeneFIX Compared to AlphaNineBaseline (prior to the infusion), and at 15 and 30 minutes, 1, 3, 6, 9, 24, 48, 72, and 74 hours following a single dose infusion of BeneFIX administered following a 7 to 15 day wash-out period.

BeneFIX pharmacokinetic parameter of area under the curve (AUC 0-inf) was assessed and compared to the AlphaNine pharmacokinetic parameter (PK2 study).

Mean Difference of Terminal Half-Life: BeneFIX Compared to AlphaNineBaseline (prior to the infusion), and at 15 and 30 minutes, 1, 3, 6, 9, 24, 48, 72, and 74 hours following a single dose infusion of BeneFIX administered following a 7 to 15 day wash-out period.

BeneFIX pharmacokinetic parameter of terminal half-life was assessed and compared to the AlphaNine pharmacokinetic parameter (PK2 Study).

Mean Difference of Clearance: BeneFIX Compared to AlphaNineBaseline (prior to the infusion), and at 15 and 30 minutes, 1, 3, 6, 9, 24, 48, 72, and 74 hours following a single dose infusion of BeneFIX administered following a 7 to 15 day wash-out period.

BeneFIX pharmacokinetic parameter of clearance was assessed and compared to the AlphaNine pharmacokinetic parameter (PK2 Study).

Mean Difference of Mean Residence Time (MRT): BeneFIX Compared to AlphaNineBaseline (prior to the infusion), and at 15 and 30 minutes, 1, 3, 6, 9, 24, 48, 72, and 74 hours following a single dose infusion of BeneFIX administered following a 7 to 15 day wash-out period.

BeneFIX pharmacokinetic parameter of mean residence time (MRT 0-inf) was assessed and compared to the AlphaNine pharmacokinetic parameter (PK2 Study).
