RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Persistent hemolytic anemia and a lack of oral treatments are challenges for patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria who have received anti-C5 therapy or have not received complement inhibitors. Iptacopan, a first-in-class oral factor B inhibitor, has been shown to improve hemoglobin levels in these patients. METHODS: In two phase 3 trials, we assessed iptacopan monotherapy over a 24-week period in patients with hemoglobin levels of less than 10 g per deciliter. In the first, anti-C5-treated patients were randomly assigned to switch to iptacopan or to continue anti-C5 therapy. In the second, single-group trial, patients who had not received complement inhibitors and who had lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels more than 1.5 times the upper limit of the normal range received iptacopan. The two primary end points in the first trial were an increase in the hemoglobin level of at least 2 g per deciliter from baseline and a hemoglobin level of at least 12 g per deciliter, each without red-cell transfusion; the primary end point for the second trial was an increase in hemoglobin level of at least 2 g per deciliter from baseline without red-cell transfusion. RESULTS: In the first trial, 51 of the 60 patients who received iptacopan had an increase in the hemoglobin level of at least 2 g per deciliter from baseline, and 42 had a hemoglobin level of at least 12 g per deciliter, each without transfusion; none of the 35 anti-C5-treated patients attained the end-point levels. In the second trial, 31 of 33 patients had an increase in the hemoglobin level of at least 2 g per deciliter from baseline without red-cell transfusion. In the first trial, 59 of the 62 patients who received iptacopan and 14 of the 35 anti-C5-treated patients did not require or receive transfusion; in the second trial, no patients required or received transfusion. Treatment with iptacopan increased hemoglobin levels, reduced fatigue, reduced reticulocyte and bilirubin levels, and resulted in mean LDH levels that were less than 1.5 times the upper limit of the normal range. Headache was the most frequent adverse event with iptacopan. CONCLUSIONS: Iptacopan treatment improved hematologic and clinical outcomes in anti-C5-treated patients with persistent anemia - in whom iptacopan showed superiority to anti-C5 therapy - and in patients who had not received complement inhibitors.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired clonal hematopoietic disorder that occurs on a background of bone marrow failure (BMF). In PNH, chronic intravascular hemolysis causes an increase in morbidity and mortality, mainly because of thromboses. Over the last 20 years, treatment of PNH has focused on the complement protein C5 to prevent intravascular hemolysis using the monoclonal antibody eculizumab and more recently ravulizumab. In the United Kingdom, all patients are under review at 1 of 2 reference centers. We report on all 509 UK patients with PNH treated with eculizumab and/or ravulizumab between May 2002 and July 2022. The survival of patients with eculizumab and ravulizumab was significantly lower than that of age- and sex-matched controls (P = .001). Only 4 patients died of thromboses. The survival of patients with PNH (n = 389), when those requiring treatment for BMF (clonal evolution to myelodysplastic syndrome or acute leukemia or had progressive unresponsive aplastic anemia) were excluded, was not significantly different from that of age- and sex-matched controls (P = .12). There were 11 cases of meningococcal sepsis (0.35 events per 100 patient-years). Extravascular hemolysis was evident in patients who received treatment, with 26.7% of patients requiring transfusions in the most recent 12 months on therapy. Eculizumab and ravulizumab are safe and effective therapies that reduce mortality and morbidity in PNH, but further work is needed to reduce mortality in those with concomitant BMF.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT: Thrombophilia is one of the principal features of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and constitutes the main cause of disease morbidity/mortality. Anticomplement treatment has revolutionized the natural history of PNH, with control of the hemolytic process and abolition of thrombotic events (TEs). However, no guidelines exist for the management of thromboembolic complications in this setting, with type and duration of anticoagulation depending on individual practices. Besides, a scarcity of data is present on the efficacy of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). Herein, we accrued a large real-world cohort of patients with PNH from 4 US centers to explore features, predictors of TE, and anticoagulation strategies. Among 267 patients followed up for a total of 2043 patient-years, 56 (21%) developed TEs. These occurred at disease onset in 43% of cases, involving more frequently the venous system, typically as Budd-Chiari syndrome. Rate of TEs was halved in patients receiving complement inhibitors (21 vs 40 TEs per 1000 patient-years in untreated cases, with a 2-year cumulative incidence of thrombosis of 3.9% vs 18.3%, respectively), and varied according to PNH granulocytes and erythrocytes clone size, type, disease activity parameters, as well as number (≥2 mutations, or less) and variant allelic frequency of PIGA mutations. Anticoagulation with warfarin (39%), DOACs (37%), and low-molecular weight heparin (16%) was administered for a median of 29 months (interquartile range [IQR], 9-61.8). No thrombotic recurrence was observed in 19 patients treated with DOACs at a median observation of 17.1 months (IQR, 8.9-45) whereas 14 cases discontinued anticoagulation without TE recurrence at a median time of 51.4 months (IQR, 29.9-86.8).

RESUMO

Metabolic reprogramming has been investigated in haematological malignancies. To date, a few studies have analysed the metabolic profile of paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH). The study by Chen and colleagues sheds light on the involvement of metabolic changes in the proliferation of PNH clones. Commentary on: Chen et al. The histone demethylase JMJD1C regulates CPS1 expression and promotes the proliferation of PNH clones through cell metabolic reprogramming. Br J Haematol 2024;204:2468-2479.

RESUMO

Paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) is a disorder resulting from erythrocyte membrane deficiencies caused by PIG-A gene mutations. While current treatments alleviate symptoms, they fail to address the underlying cause of the disease-the pathogenic PNH clones. In this study, we found that the expression of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) was downregulated in PNH clones, and the level of CPS1 was negatively correlated with the proportion of PNH clones. Using PIG-A knockout K562 (K562 KO) cells, we demonstrated that CPS1 knockdown increased cell proliferation and altered cell metabolism, suggesting that CPS1 participates in PNH clonal proliferation through metabolic reprogramming. Furthermore, we observed an increase in the expression levels of the histone demethylase JMJD1C in PNH clones, and JMJD1C expression was negatively correlated with CPS1 expression. Knocking down JMJD1C in K562 KO cells upregulated CPS1 and H3K36me3 expression, decreased cell proliferation and increased cell apoptosis. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis further demonstrated that H3K36me3 regulated CPS1 expression. Finally, we demonstrated that histone demethylase inhibitor JIB-04 can suppressed K562 KO cell proliferation and reduced the proportion of PNH clones in PNH mice. In conclusion, aberrant regulation of the JMJD1C-H3K36me3-CPS1 axis contributes to PNH clonal proliferation. Targeting JMJD1C with a specific inhibitor unveils a potential strategy for treating PNH patients.

RESUMO

Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein-deficient hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell development caused by PIGA mutations cannot fully explain the pathogenesis of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Herein, patients newly diagnosed with PNH at our hospital between April 2019 and April 2021 were recruited. The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I and II loci were analyzed, and patients were stratified by PNH clone sizes: small (< 50%) and large (≥ 50%). In 40 patients (29 males; 72.5%), the median PNH clone size was 72%. Thirteen (32.5%) and twenty-seven (67.5%) patients harbored small and large PNH clones, respectively. DRB1*15:01 and DQB1*06:02 had higher frequencies in patients with PNH than in healthy controls (adjusted P-value = 4.10 × 10-4 and 4.10 × 10-4, respectively). Whole HLA class I and II allele contributions differed (P = 0.046 and 0.065, not significant difference) when comparing patients with small and large PNH clones. B*13:01 and C*04:01 allelic frequencies were significantly higher in patients with small clones (P = 0.032 and P = 0.032, respectively). Patients with small clones had higher class II HLA evolutionary divergence (HED) (P = 0.041) and global class I and II HED (P = 0.019). In the entire cohort, 17 HLA aberrations were found in 11 (27.5%) patients. No significant differences in HLA aberrations were found between patients with small or large clones. In conclusion, patients with small clones tended to have a higher frequency of immune attack-associated alleles. A higher HED in patients with small clones may reflect a propensity for T cell-mediated autoimmunity. HLA aberrations were similar between patients with small and large clones.

RESUMO

Pegcetacoplan (Aspaveli®/Empaveli™) is a factor C3 inhibitor that is approved for the treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. An individualized dosing strategy might be useful to improve patient-friendliness and cost-effectiveness of this very expensive drug. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop an individualized treatment regimen for pegcetacoplan based on the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic data of the manufacturer. We conducted a clinical trial simulation with the approved dosing regimen of 1080 mg twice-weekly and a target concentration intervention-based dosing regimen in patients with and without prior eculizumab use. For eculizumab-naïve patients, the target concentration intervention-based dosing regimen resulted in a comparable fraction of patients with LDH normalization (LDH < 226 U/L) and hemoglobulin normalization (> 12 g/dL) compared to the approved regimen (LDH 50.2% and 50.0% respectively and hemoglobulin 45.6% and 44.4%). A modest dose reduction of ~ 5% was possible with target concentration intervention-based dosing. An intensified dosing interval was necessary in 2.3% of the patients however an interval prolongation was possible in 28.2% of the patients. Similar results were obtained for patients prior treated with eculizumab. In this study we show the potential of an individualized dosing regimen of pegcetacoplan with can improve patient friendliness in approximately 30% of the patients and improve therapy in approximately 2% of the patients at slightly reduced costs.

RESUMO

Pegcetacoplan significantly improves outcomes for patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) experiencing extravascular hemolysis (EVH) on eculizumab, leading to approval in 2021/2022 (USA/Europe). We report the first collaborative real-world evidence on pegcetacoplan use in UK and France. A total of 48 patients were either currently receiving or previously received pegcetacoplan (2019-2023). A total of 12 patients had participated in the PEGASUS clinical trial, continuing treatment after trial completion. Five patients were on combination treatment of C5 inhibition and pegcetacoplan. Mean pegcetacoplan duration was 20.2 months. Indication for pegcetacoplan was EVH on C5 inhibitors (Eculizumab, n = 29, Ravulizumab n = 16, others n = 3) with 35/48 patients requiring blood transfusion within the previous 12 months. Mean hemoglobin and reticulocyte count at pegcetacoplan commencement and after 3 months: 91 g/L and 205 × 109/L and 115.8 g/L and 107 × 109/L, respectively, resulting in mean Hb change of 22.3 g/L. Mean LDH pre- and post-pegcetacoplan was unchanged. Six patients have stopped pegcetacoplan. A total of 32 breakthrough hemolysis (BTH) events occurred in 13/48 patients. A total of 14 events were within clinical trials (reported separately). Six patients experienced 18 acute BTH events outside clinical trials, 7/18 associated with complement activating conditions. Successful clinical management included daily pegcetacoplan subcutaneously for 3 days or single eculizumab doses; these events are manageable with prompt intervention. Pegcetacoplan is effective for patients with PNH experiencing EVH. In this large patient cohort, treatment was well tolerated with improved hemoglobin and reticulocytes and maintained LDH control. Although BTH occurs, this is manageable by acute dose modification, with the majority of patients being maintained on pegcetacoplan.

RESUMO

Crovalimab, a novel C5 inhibitor, allows for low-volume, every-4- week, subcutaneous self-administration. COMMODORE 1 (NCT04432584) is a phase 3, global, randomized trial evaluating crovalimab versus eculizumab in C5 inhibitor-experienced patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Adults with lactate dehydrogenase ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal and receiving approved eculizumab doses for ≥24 weeks were randomized 1:1 to receive crovalimab (weight-based tiered dosing) or continue eculizumab. The original primary study objective was efficacy; however, given the evolving treatment landscape, target recruitment was not met, and all efficacy endpoints became exploratory, with safety as the new primary objective. Exploratory efficacy endpoints included transfusion avoidance, hemolysis control, breakthrough hemolysis, hemoglobin stabilization, FACIT-Fatigue score, and patient preference (crovalimab vs. eculizumab). Eighty-nine patients were randomized (45 to crovalimab; 44 to eculizumab). During the 24-week primary treatment period, adverse events (AEs) occurred in 77% of patients receiving crovalimab and 67% receiving eculizumab. No AEs led to treatment withdrawal or death, and no meningococcal infections occurred. 16% of crovalimab-treated patients had transient immune complex reactions (also known as Type III hypersensitivity events), an expected risk when switching between C5 inhibitors that bind to different C5 epitopes; most were mild/moderate and all resolved without treatment modification. Crovalimab-treated patients had sustained terminal complement activity inhibition, maintained disease control, and 85% preferred crovalimab over eculizumab. Together with phase 3 COMMODORE 2 results in complement inhibitor-naive patients, these data support crovalimab's favorable benefit-risk profile. Crovalimab is a new C5 inhibitor for PNH that is potentially less burdensome than existing therapies for this lifelong disease.

RESUMO

Crovalimab is a novel C5 complement inhibitor that enables rapid and sustained C5 inhibition with subcutaneous, low-volume self-administration every 4 weeks. COMMODORE 2 (NCT04434092) is a global, randomized, open-label, multicenter, phase 3 trial evaluating the non-inferiority of crovalimab versus eculizumab in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria not previously treated with C5 inhibition. C5 inhibitor-naive patients with lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) ≥2 × upper limit of normal (ULN) were randomized 2:1 to crovalimab or eculizumab. Co-primary efficacy endpoints were proportion of patients with hemolysis control (centrally assessed LDH ≤1.5 × ULN) and proportion with transfusion avoidance. Secondary efficacy endpoints were proportions of patients with breakthrough hemolysis, stabilized hemoglobin, and change in FACIT-Fatigue score. The primary treatment period was 24 weeks. Two hundred and four patients were randomized (135 crovalimab; 69 eculizumab). Crovalimab was non-inferior to eculizumab in the co-primary endpoints of hemolysis control (79.3% vs. 79.0%; odds ratio, 1.0 [95% CI, 0.6, 1.8]) and transfusion avoidance (65.7% vs. 68.1%; weighted difference, -2.8 [-15.7, 11.1]), and in the secondary efficacy endpoints of breakthrough hemolysis (10.4% vs. 14.5%; weighted difference, -3.9 [-14.8, 5.3]) and hemoglobin stabilization (63.4% vs. 60.9%; weighted difference, 2.2 [-11.4, 16.3]). A clinically meaningful improvement in FACIT-Fatigue score occurred in both arms. Complete terminal complement activity inhibition was generally maintained with crovalimab. The safety profiles of crovalimab and eculizumab were similar with no meningococcal infections. Most patients who switched from eculizumab to crovalimab after the primary treatment period preferred crovalimab. These data demonstrate the positive benefit-risk profile of crovalimab.

RESUMO

Haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-SCT) represents the main alternative for children with inherited bone marrow failure syndrome (I-BMF) lacking a matched donor. This retrospective study, conducted on behalf of the EBMT SAAWP and PDWP, aims to report the current outcomes of haplo-SCT in I-BMFs, comparing the different in vivo and ex vivo T-cell depletion approaches. One hundred and sixty-two I-BMF patients who underwent haplo-SCT (median age 7.4 years) have been registered. Fanconi Anemia was the most represented diagnosis (70.1%). Based on different T-cell depletion (TCD) approaches, four categories were identified: (1) TCRαß+/CD19+-depletion (43.8%); (2) T-repleted with post-transplant Cyclophosphamide (PTCy, 34.0%); (3) In-vivo T-depletion with ATG/alemtuzumab (14.8%); (4) CD34+ positive selection (7.4%). The cumulative incidences (CI) of neutrophil and platelet engraftment were 84% and 76% respectively, while that of primary and secondary graft failure was 10% and 8% respectively. The 100-day CI of acute GvHD grade III-IV(95% CI) was 13%, while the 24-month CI of extensive chronic GvHD was 4%. After a median follow-up of 43.4 months, the 2-year overall survival(OS) and GvHD/Rejection-free Survival (GRFS) probabilities are 67% and 53%, respectively. The TCR CD3+αß+/CD19+ depletion group showed a significantly lower incidence of both acute and chronic GvHD and higher OS (79%; p0.013) and GRFS (71%; p < .001), while no significant differences in outcomes have been observed by different diagnosis and conditioning regimens. This large retrospective study supports the safety and feasibility of haplo-SCT in I-BMF patients. TCRαß+/CD19+ depletion offers higher chances of patients' survival, with a significantly lower risk of severe a- and c-GvHD in I-BMFs compared to other platforms.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare, chronic blood disorder. Symptoms such as fatigue can have a substantial impact on patients' physical activity levels, sleep, quality of life, and work productivity. Ravulizumab treatment can reduce thrombosis risk, improve survival and quality of life, and reduce fatigue in PNH, but information is limited on how it impacts sleep and physical activity. Here, data on resting heart rate, daily physical activity, and sleep in ravulizumab-treated patients with PNH were passively collected via a digital wearable activity-tracking device and patient-reported outcome (PRO) data were collected via weekly surveys in the same cohort. METHODS: REVEAL was a 32-week prospective observational cohort study in individuals with PNH receiving ravulizumab in the USA. A wrist-worn Fitbit™ collected data on resting heart rate, daily step count, and sleep duration from eligible patients. Patients also completed the following electronic weekly surveys: Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) - Fatigue, Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Global Physical Health, PROMIS Global Mental Health, PROMIS Sleep-Related Impairment and Sleep Disturbance, and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire - Specific Health Problem (WPAI-SHP). Data collected from the activity trackers and surveys were compared against US general population values reported in the literature. RESULTS: Twenty-eight ravulizumab-treated patients were included (median age: 34 years; 54% female). PRO scores were within US general population normative values, including FACIT-Fatigue (40.0), PROMIS Global Physical Health (51.0), Global Mental Health (51.0), Sleep-Related Impairment (50.0), and Sleep Disturbance (49.0). Similarly, mean resting heart rate (67 bpm), daily step count (7476), and sleep duration (7.7 h) were within the range of US general population values. Daily step count was positively correlated with PROMIS Global Physical and Mental Health scores. CONCLUSIONS: This was the first study to use digital monitoring technology to collect data on physical activity and sleep in patients with PNH. The findings indicate that ravulizumab treatment enables patients with PNH to achieve activity levels (heart rate, sleep duration, step count) and quality of life that are comparable to those of the US general population. A weak positive correlation was identified between patient-reported physical and mental health and daily physical activity levels.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To describe, compare similarity of pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD) and efficacy of SB12 and reference eculizumab (ECU) and find clinically significant covariate relationships. METHODS: The PK, PD (terminal complement activity) and efficacy (LDH) data of SB12 and ECU were obtained from 289 subjects from phase I and phase III studies. One- and two-compartment PK models with first-order elimination were evaluated for SB12 and ECU. For PD and efficacy, both direct and indirect models were tested. The impact of covariates on PK, PD and efficacy parameters was assessed. Relationship between PK/PD and PD/efficacy was characterized. This modeling was performed using NONMEM version 7.4 (Icon Development Solutions, Ellicott City, MD, USA). RESULTS: The two-compartment model adequately described the PK of SB12 and ECU, and the subject's weight was chosen as a clinically significant covariate affecting drugs' clearance and central volume of distribution. Treatment group was not a significant covariate affecting clearance. The direct response model using inhibitory sigmoid Emax and sigmoid Emax relationship well described the PK/PD relationship and PD/efficacy relationship of SB12 and ECU, respectively. Through this modeling, the relationships between PK, PD and efficacy were characterized. There were no differences in PK, PD and efficacy parameters between SB12 and ECU in pooled populations of healthy subjects and paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) patients. CONCLUSION: The population modeling showed PK, PD and efficacy similarities between SB12 and ECU in pooled population of healthy subjects and PNH patients, supporting the totality of evidence on biosimilarity for SB12.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare hematologic disorder caused by uncontrolled terminal complement activation, which leads to intravascular hemolysis (IVH), thromboembolism (TE), renal failure, and premature mortality. METHODS: We performed a secondary analysis of data collected from patients enrolled in the Korean National PNH Registry to assess the relative importance of risk factors, specifically lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and hemoglobin (Hb), in predicting the incidence of TE, impaired renal function, and death in complement inhibitor-naïve patients with PNH. RESULTS: Multivariate regression modeling indicated that LDH ≥ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN), male sex, and pain were associated with increased risk of TE (P = 0.016, 0.045, and 0.033, respectively), hemoglobinuria and pain were associated with an increased risk of impaired renal function (P = 0.034 and 0.022, respectively), and TE was associated with an increased incidence of death (P < 0.001). Hb < 8 g/dL was not a predictor of TE, impaired renal function, or death in multivariate regression analyses. Standardized mortality ratio analysis indicated that LDH ≥ 1.5 × ULN (P < 0.001), Hb < 8 g/dL (P < 0.001), and Hb ≥ 8 g/dL (P = 0.004) were all risk factors for death; in contrast, patients with LDH < 1.5 × ULN had similar mortality to the general population. CONCLUSION: In complement inhibitor-naïve patients with PNH, LDH ≥ 1.5 × ULN was a significant predictor of TE, and TE was a significant predictor of death. Hb was not a significant predictor of TE, impaired renal function, or death. Therefore, controlling IVH will improve clinical outcomes for patients with PNH.

RESUMO

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a clonal stem cell disease characterized by intravascular hemolysis due to the targeting of affected red blood cells by the complement system. Eculizumab and ravulizumab are two monoclonal antibodies that inhibit the complement system's components and have been shown to significantly improve survival and quality of life. This review describes the role of these monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of PNH with an emphasis on their safety profile. The challenges in the use of these drugs and new drugs in various stages of drug development are also described, which may be helpful in addressing some of these challenges.
