During the PROTECT VIII main and extension studies
Long-term safety data with Jivi®1,2
Up to 7 years of safety and tolerability data in previously treated adolescents and adults (N=134 in main study; N=121 in extension study)1,2
 |
Most common adverse events: headache, cough, nausea, and fever3 |
 |
Incidence of drug-related AEs/SAEs in the long-term extension study2*
|
 |
Zero FVIII inhibitors1,2
|
 |
No confirmed increasing plasma PEG levels over time2,4‡ |
 |
Hypersensitivity reactions were transient (n=2/134)1
|
Overall AEs: 79.3% (n=96).2
In the main study factor VIII inhibitor (1.7 BU/mL) was reported in one previously treated adult subject. Repeat testing did not confirm the presence of a Factor VIII inhibitor.1
A few patients had transiently detectable PEG just above the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ). One patient had detectable PEG in plasma only at the last visit of the study, and in accordance with the study protocol, further follow-up was not allowed.2
AE, adverse event; PEG, polyethylene glycol; SAE, serious adverse event.
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.
