Moroctocog Alfa (AF-CC) for Prophylaxis and Treatment of Bleeding Episodes in Previously Treated Patients with Hemophilia A in India

PURPOSE: Hemophilia A is an X-linked congenital disorder, characterized by factor VIII (FVIII) deficiency. Globally, India has the highest population of patients with hemophilia, and there is a clear unmet need for appropriate and effective treatment for this patient population. This multicenter, open-label, post-approval study evaluated the safety and efficacy of moroctocog alfa in patients with moderate or severe congenital hemophilia A in India. METHODS: Intravenous moroctocog alfa was administered 30 ± 5 IU/kg 3 times weekly for bleeding prophylaxis, according to the local product document. Participants were treated for up to 8 weeks, with an up to 4-week screening period and a subsequent post-treatment, 28-day safety observation period. Patients continued in the study until at least 24 exposure days or a period of up to 8 weeks on moroctocog alfa. RESULTS: A total of 50 participants were enrolled, and 48 (85.7%) completed the study. No participants developed FVIII inhibitors during the study. The mean (SD) annualized bleeding rate during moroctocog alfa prophylaxis was 0.79 (2.0) with a median (range) of 0.00 (0.0, 6.8). The mean (SD) annualized total factor consumption (TFC) per participant was 287,432 (93,866) IU; the mean (SD) annualized TFC by weight per participant was 4176 (858) IU/kg. Moroctocog alfa was well tolerated with no reported treatment-emergent adverse event-related dose reductions, discontinuations, or serious adverse events. CONCLUSION: Moroctocog alfa was safe, effective, and well tolerated in Indian participants with congenital moderate to severe hemophilia A. No participant developed FVIII inhibitors during the study.
