ALTUVIIIOTM late-breaking data at ISTH demonstrates highly effective bleed protection in children with severe hemophilia A with once-weekly dosing

- XTEND-Kids data confirm the efficacy and safety profile of ALTUVIIIO with simple, weekly 50 IU/kg dosing for both adults and children

- ALTUVIIIO’s expanding evidence of a first and best-in-class profile supports Sanofi’s commitment to delivering paradigm shifting therapies for Rare Diseases

Paris, June 25, 2023. Pivotal data from the Phase 3 XTEND-Kids study evaluating ALTUVIIIOTM [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), Fc-VWF-XTEN Fusion Protein] once-weekly prophylaxis, a first-in-class, high-sustained factor VIII replacement therapy, in previously treated patients younger than 12 years of age with severe hemophilia A were presented today in a late-breaking session at the Annual Meeting of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) in Montreal, Canada.

The oral presentation detailed results from the XTEND-Kids study and confirmed that ALTUVIIIO met the primary endpoint with no inhibitor development to factor VIII detected, and key secondary endpoints including annualized bleeding rate (ABR) and maintenance of factor VIII activity above pre-specified levels.

In the pediatric population, clearance of administered factor concentrates in the blood is greater than in adults, often meaning injections are needed 2-4 times per week using standard (SHL) or extended half-life (EHL) factor VIII products. These data confirm that a once-weekly 50 IU/kg dose of ALTUVIIIO provides highly effective bleed protection in both children and adults and can be used across clinical scenarios.

Hemophilia A is a rare, lifelong condition in which the ability of a person’s blood to clot properly is impaired, leading to excessive bleeds and spontaneous bleeds into joints that can result in joint damage and chronic pain, and potentially impact quality of life. The severity of hemophilia is determined by the level of clotting factor activity in a person’s blood, and there is a negative correlation between risk of bleeding and factor activity levels.

ALTUVIIIO is a first-in-class, high-sustained factor VIII replacement therapy approved in February 2023 by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for routine prophylaxis and on-demand treatment to control of bleeding episodes, as well as perioperative management (surgery) for adults and children with hemophilia A. Granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA in May 2022 — the first factor VIII therapy to receive this designation —ALTUVIIIO also received Fast Track designation in February 2021 and Orphan Drug designation in 2017. The European Commission granted Orphan Drug designation in June 2019, and the European Medicines Agency accepted the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for efanesoctocog alfa in May 2023.

The results from XTEND-Kids mark an important breakthrough as we strive for optimized bleed protection as the standard of care. Achieving high-sustained factor activity with once weekly dosing means a freedom from the tradeoffs between treatment burden and efficacy we often see in treating severe hemophilia A. The reliable and consistent bleed protection ALTUVIIIO provides offers confidence for children living with hemophilia and their families to manage hemophilia with less worry.

Therapeutic Area Head, Rare Diseases and Rare Blood Disorders, Sanofi

In an effort to reduce their risk of bleeding episodes, many children living with hemophilia A are currently limited in their ability to fully participate in daily activities. This burden is compounded by the challenge of administering prophylactic treatments intravenously multiple times a week. Today’s XTEND-Kids results reinforce the ability of ALTUVIIIO to provide effective bleed protection with once weekly dosing and reinforce our commitment to developing new treatment options designed to redefine the standard of care for people living with rare blood disorders.

The Phase 3 XTEND-Kids study (NCT04759131) was an open-label, non-randomized interventional study of the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of once-weekly ALTUVIIIO in previously treated patients younger than 12 years of age with severe hemophilia A. Patients (n=74) received once-weekly ALTUVIIIO prophylaxis (50 IU/kg) for 52 weeks.

- Development of Factor VIII inhibitors was not detected (0% [95% confidence interval (CI)] 0–4.9]).

- Median (interquartile range) and mean ABRs (95% CI) were 0.00 (0.00–1.02) and 0.89 (0.56–1.42), respectively

- 64% of patients had zero bleeding episodes, 82% of patients had zero joint bleeds and 88% of patients had zero spontaneous bleeds

- In this study, ALTUVIIIO was well-tolerated and demonstrated a safety profile similar to the XTEND-1 trial, confirming safety and efficacy in both adults and children.

- No serious allergic reactions, anaphylaxis, or embolic or thrombotic events were reported. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (>10%) were SARS-CoV-2 test positive, upper respiratory tract infection, and fever (pyrexia). No adverse events led to treatment discontinuation.

ALTUVIIIO [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), Fc-VWF-XTEN Fusion Protein-ehtl] is a first-in-class high-sustained factor VIII therapy that is designed to extend protection from bleeds with once-weekly prophylactic dosing for adults and children with hemophilia A. In adults and adolescents, ALTUVIIIO has a 3 to 4 fold longer half-life relative to standard and extended half-life factor VIII products, providing high-sustained factor activity levels within normal to near-normal range, allowing for once weekly administration in both children and adults. ALTUVIIIO is the first factor VIII therapy that has been shown to break through the von Willebrand factor ceiling, which imposes a half-life limitation on earlier generation factor VIII therapies. ALTUVIIIO builds on the innovative Fc fusion technology by adding a region of von Willebrand factor and XTEN® polypeptides to extend its time in circulation.

About the XTEND Clinical Programs

The XTEND clinical program is comprised of two Phase 3 trials in hemophilia A: XTEND-1 in people 12 years or older and XTEND-Kids in children younger than 12 years old. There is also an ongoing extension study (XTEND-ed).

The Phase 3 XTEND-1 study (NCT04161495) was an open-label, non-randomized interventional study assessing the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of once-weekly ALTUVIIIO in people 12 years of age or older (n=159) with severe hemophilia A who were previously treated with factor VIII replacement therapy. The study consisted of two parallel treatment arms — the prophylaxis Arm A (n=133), in which patients who had received prior factor VIII prophylaxis were treated with once-weekly intravenous ALTUVIIIO prophylaxis (50 IU/kg) for 52 weeks, and the on-demand Arm B (n=26), in which patients who had received prior on-demand factor VIII therapy began with 26 weeks of on-demand ALTUVIIIO (50 IU/kg), then switched to once-weekly prophylaxis with ALTUVIIIO (50 IU/kg) for an additional 26 weeks.

The primary efficacy endpoint of XTEND-1 was the mean annualized bleeding rate (ABR) in Arm A, and the key secondary endpoint was an intra-patient comparison of ABR during the ALTUVIIIO weekly prophylaxis treatment period versus the prior factor VIII prophylaxis ABR for a subset of participants in Arm A who had participated in a previous observational study (Study 242HA201/OBS16221).

The XTEND-Kids study (NCT04759131) was an open-label, non-randomized interventional study of the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of once-weekly ALTUVIIIO in previously treated patients younger than 12 years of age with severe hemophilia A. Patients received once-weekly ALTUVIIIO prophylaxis (50 IU/kg) for 52 weeks. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of inhibitor development.
