JIVI® VS ADYNOVATE® PK CROSSOVER STUDY

First read about the PK parameters of Jivi® from the PROTECT VIII trial, which will be helpful to understanding the data below from the crossover study examining the PK characteristics of Jivi® and Adynovate®.

PK Parameters of Jivi® in Patients ≥12 Years of Age1

PK parameters of Jivi® in the PROTECT VIII trial (arithmetic mean ± SD)1

Measured following a single dose (25 IU/kg and 60 IU/kg)1

PK Parameters
PK Parameters

Combined data from Phase 1 and Phase 2/3 studies.

Recovery value could not be calculated for one subject.

PK: pharmacokinetic; SD: standard deviation; AUC: area under the curve; Cmax: maximum drug concentration in plasma after single dose;

t1/2: terminal half-life; MRTIV: mean residence time after an IV administration; VSS: apparent volume distribution at steady-state; CL: clearance.

Crossover study examining PK characteristics of Jivi® and Adynovate® (N=18)2*

The small size of the patient cohort could be a potential limitation of this study.2

AUC, area under the curve (from time zero to last data point); PK, pharmacokinetic.

*Adapted from Shah et al.2

Area under the curve is the total amount of a drug that reaches the bloodstream, measured by plasmas concentration, over time.3

PK Analyses

Potency-adjusted PK analyses of Jivi® and Adynovate® 2*

The preplanned analysis was followed by a post hoc analysis

  • In the preplanned analysis, the 50 IU/kg doses administered in this study were calculated based on the 1000 IU nominal potencies provided on the vial labels of the 2 products
  • In this study, the actual potencies were 1030 IU/vial for Jivi® and 1141 IU/vial for Adynovate®. This resulted in actual administered doses which were approximately:
    • 3% higher than the planned 50 IU/kg dose for Jivi®
    • 14.1% higher than the planned 50 IU/kg dose for Adynovate®
  • A subsequent post hoc analysis of PK parameters was conducted using the actual potencies of the 2 products being compared

PK, pharmacokinetic; AUC(0-tlast), area under the curve (from 0 to last data point); AUCnorm, dose-normalized area under the curve; CI, confidence interval.

*Half-life and CI are not weight-dependent parameters, so they are not normalized.

Area under the curve is the total amount of a drug that reaches the bloodstream, measured by plasma concentration over time.3

Clearance is the rate by which a drug is eliminated from the body.4

§Half-life is the time it takes for the amount of a drug in the blood to decrease by one half.5

INDICATIONS

Jivi antihemophilic factor (recombinant), PEGylated-aucl, is a recombinant DNA-derived, Factor VIII concentrate indicated for use in previously treated adults and adolescents (12 years of age and older) with hemophilia A (congenital Factor VIII deficiency) for:

On-demand treatment and control of bleeding episodes

Perioperative management of bleeding

Routine prophylaxis to reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes

Limitations of use:

Jivi is not indicated for use in children less than 12 years of age due to a greater risk for hypersensitivity reactions.

Jivi is not indicated for use in previously untreated patients (PUPs).

Jivi is not indicated for the treatment of von Willebrand disease.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Jivi is contraindicated in patients who have a history of hypersensitivity reactions to the active substance, polyethylene glycol (PEG), mouse or hamster proteins, or other constituents of the product.

Hypersensitivity reactions, including severe allergic reactions, have occurred with Jivi. Monitor patients for hypersensitivity symptoms. Early signs of hypersensitivity reactions, which can progress to anaphylaxis, may include chest or throat tightness, dizziness, mild hypotension and nausea. If hypersensitivity reactions occur, immediately discontinue administration and initiate appropriate treatment.

Jivi may contain trace amounts of mouse and hamster proteins. Patients treated with this product may develop hypersensitivity to these non-human mammalian proteins.

Hypersensitivity reactions may also be related to antibodies against polyethylene glycol (PEG).

Neutralizing antibody (inhibitor) formation can occur following administration of Jivi. Carefully monitor patients for the development of Factor VIII inhibitors, using appropriate clinical observations and laboratory tests. If expected plasma Factor VIII activity levels are not attained or if bleeding is not controlled as expected with administered dose, suspect the presence of an inhibitor (neutralizing antibody).

A clinical immune response associated with IgM anti-PEG antibodies, manifested as symptoms of acute hypersensitivity and/or loss of drug effect, has been observed primarily in patients < 6 years of age. The symptoms of the clinical immune response were transient. Anti-PEG IgM titers decreased over time to undetectable levels. No immunoglobulin class switching was observed.

In case of clinical suspicion of loss of drug effect, conduct testing for Factor VIII inhibitors and Factor VIII recovery. A low post-infusion Factor VIII level in the absence of detectable Factor VIII inhibitors indicates that loss of drug effect is likely due to anti-PEG antibodies. Discontinue Jivi and switch patients to a previously effective Factor VIII product.

The most frequently (≥5%) reported adverse reactions in clinical trials in previously treated patients (PTPs) ≥12 years of age were headache, cough, nausea, and fever.
