MONITORING FVIII ACTIVITY OF JIVI®
Monitoring Factor VIII Activity of Jivi® antihemophilic factor (recombinant) PEGylated-aucl
Jivi® Prescribing Information
Section 5.4 Monitoring Laboratory Tests1
If monitoring of Factor VIII activity is performed, use a validated chromogenic assay or a selected validated one-stage clotting assay.
Laboratories intending to measure the Factor VIII activity of Jivi® should check their procedures for accuracy. For Jivi®, select silica-based one-stage assays may underestimate the Factor VIII activity of Jivi® in plasma samples; some reagents, e.g., with kaolin-based activators, have the potential for overestimation.2 Therefore, the suitability of the assay must be ascertained. If a validated one-stage clotting or chromogenic assay is not available locally, then use of a reference laboratory is recommended.
Monitor for development of Factor VIII inhibitors. Perform a Bethesda inhibitor assay if expected Factor VIII plasma levels are not attained or if bleeding is not controlled with the expected dose of Jivi®. Use Bethesda Units (BU) to report inhibitor titers.
Jivi® FVIII activity can be monitored using the following chromogenic substrate assays and one-stage clotting assays.1,2,3* These chromogenic substrate assays can be used to monitor Jivi® alone or in presence of emiciumab-kxwh, as they contain Bovine reagents which are insensitive to emicizumab-kxwh.4

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.
