BackgroundMajor surgical procedures are associated with significant bleeding risk and infectious complications in patients with hemophilia, which may be minimized by factor replacement. Monitoring perioperative factor levels guides dosing to maintain adequate levels for hemostatic control.ObjectivesWe report prospectively collected post hoc surgical data in patients with hemophilia B who underwent major surgery with extended half-life recombinant factor IX Fc fusion protein (rFIXFc) in phase 3 studies (B-LONG/Kids B-LONG and B-YOND).MethodsAchieved FIX plasma levels were described for those who underwent major surgeries with ≥1 peak and/or predose FIX assessment available on the day of surgery (Day 0 [D0]) from the central laboratory. Dosing, injection frequency, adverse events, and hemostatic responses were assessed. Two representative cases were described further including blood loss, transfusions, and concomitant medication assessment.ResultsOf 35 major surgeries, 17 (N = 16 subjects) with sufficient FIX measurements were included in this analysis; 13 of 17 surgeries were orthopedic. On D0, a median loading (preoperative) dose of 101.1 International Units (IU)/kg/injection achieved a median peak FIX of 103.3 IU/dL. Across postoperative Days 1 to 3, 4 to 6, and 7 to 14, the median predose levels were 75.1 IU/dL with 1 injection/d, 71.6 IU/dL with 0 to 1 injection/d, and 43.2 IU/dL with 0 to 1 injection/d, respectively. Hemostasis was rated excellent (14 of 16) or good (2 of 16) across surgeries. Both case studies (knee arthroscopy and ankle fusion) illustrate measured FIX levels with rFIXFc.ConclusionThe aggregate analysis and representative cases of major surgeries demonstrate that rFIXFc can achieve FIX levels for effective hemostasis during invasive high-risk procedures.
