At the recent American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting, Octapharma presented interim data from the ongoing phase 3 study, NuProtect. The NuProtect Study examines the immunogenicity, efficacy and safety of treatment with human cell-line derived recombinant FVIII (Nuwiq) in previously untreated patients (PUPs) with severe haemophilia A – those at greatest risk of inhibitor development. The presentation focused on immunogenicity of Nuwiq in 66 haemophilia A patients who have received at least 20 days of treatment in the ongoing NuProtect study, with no previous exposure to FVIII concentrates or other blood products. The cumulative incidence (95% confidence interval) of all inhibitors was 20.8% (10.7-31.0); 12.8% (4.5-21.2) for high-titre inhibitors and 8.4% (1.3-15.6) for low-tire inhibitors. These data were reported as part of a pre-planned interim analysis for the NuProtect study, which plans to ultimately evaluate at least 100 PUPs, making it one of the largest studies with a single FVIII concentrate.
