1 Prise en charge du risque hémorragique lors d une chirurgie chez les hémophiles avec inhibiteurs Pr Claude Negrier Hôpital cardiologique Louis Pradel Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 claude.negrier@chu-lyon.fr
2 Joint Limitation in Patients with Severe Hemophilia 6 Joint Limitation (%) P< With Inhibitors (7.8%) Without Inhibitors (92.2%) Soucie JM, et al. Blood. 2004;103:
3 Advanced haemophilic arthropathy Personal data
4 Risks associated with surgery in inhibitor-developing hemophiliacs Excessive/uncontrolled bleeding Death Thromboembolism/DIC Wound healing and subsequent infectious risk Anamnestic response Cost issue
5 Points to consider for surgery in inhibitor patients Age of patient Inhibitor titre and anamnestic response Relevant co-morbidities Indication for surgery Urgency of the surgical procedure Type of surgical procedure Experience of surgeon Availability of multidisciplinary team of experts experienced in perioperative management of haemophilia (haemophilia treatment centre) Risk factors for thrombosis (age, type of procedure, thrombophilic genotypes) Patient and family preferences Sufficiency of supply of replacement and bypassing products Cost of replacement and bypassing products to national blood system, patient, or third-part insurer Teitel J et al., Haemophilia 2008
6 Which option to choose? Human FVIII / FIX or porcine FVIII if titer < 5 BU/mL because of the predictibility of the clinical/biological response, but... Risk of surgical procedure itself Previous history of the patient to discriminate «good responders» and «bad responders» to a particular product Other medical conditions affecting PK parameters National guidelines and national specifications for use No universal hemostatic agent
7 BLEEDING Hemophilia A no inhibitor FVIII concentrate Hemophilia B no inhibitor FIX concentrate inhibitor titer known inhibitor titer unknown < 5 BU > 5 BU Human FVIII (FIX) Porcine FVIII apcc rfviia porcine FVIII plasmapheresis apcc rfviia Negrier C, Textbook on Haemophilia, 2014

11 Use of rfviia for bleeding prevention during surgery in patients with inhibitors
12 First report on rfviia use 31 year-old haemophilia A patient Inhibitor 53 new Oxford units Synovectomy and joint debridement of the left knee rfviia 54 µg/kg before, 2h, 4-hourly for 2 days, and 6-hourly for 10 days Additional treatment : fibrin glue, tranexamic acid (Hedner et al. Lancet, 1988)
13 rfviia - Dose finding study in surgery (1) Prospective, randomized, double-blind, multicentre FVIII, n = 26 FIX, n = 3 rfviia prior to incision, intraoperatively as needed, every 2h for 48h, every 2-6h for the following 3 days Haemostasis evaluation on the first 5 days 23 patients (13/14 high dose) successfully completed the study (Shapiro et al., Thromb Haemost 1998)
14 rfviia - Dose finding study in surgery No. (%) patients in each dose group Minor surgery Major surgery p-value 35 mcg/kg (n=10) 90 mcg/kg (n=8) 35 mcg/kg (n=5) 90 mcg/kg (n=6) 35 mcg/kg vs 90 mcg/kg Intraoperative 10 (100) 7 (88) 5 (100) 6 (100) NS Hour (90) 10 (100) 9 (90) 8 (100) 8 (100) 8 (100) 5 (100) 4 (80) 3 (60) 6 (100) 6 (100) 6 (100) NS NS NS Day (80) 7 (70) 7 (70) 8 (100) 8 (100) 8 (100) 2 (40) 2 (40) 2 (40) 6 (100) 6 (100) 5 (83) (Shapiro et al., Thromb Haemost 1998)
15 rfviia - Surgical setting (1) 13 major surgeries (including 3 knee arthroplasties) reported in 1996 (Ingerslev et al., Haemostasis 1996) -----> haemostasis achieved in all patients (initial dose µg/kg, duration 5 to 43 days) 11 major and 14 minor surgical procedures reported in a prospective, open, multicentre study in Italy. Bolus doses of 90 to 150 g/kg (median: 100) followed by CI ( median rates 20 µg/kg/h for major surgery and of 17 µg/kg/h for minor surgery. Haemostasis achieved in 88% of cases (Santagostino et al, TH 2001) Over 100 procedures (Lusher et al., BCF 1998) major minor dental Haemostasis achieved 81% 86% 92%
16 rfviia - Surgical setting (2) Injections every 2-3h usually the first 2 days after which dosage intervals are prolonged Continuous infusion of rfviia was proposed as an alternative to bolus injections Feasibility demonstrated by Schulman at al. (Thromb Haemost 1996) who evaluated stability during 3 days, microbiological safety, clinical efficacy and tolerance in 2 patients (4 treatment episodes) including a total knee arthroplasty Possible reduction of the total dose by 50-75% No clear correlation with plasma levels of FVII (Santagostino et al, TH 2001)
17 Bleeding/surgical intervention and dosing regimen during continuous infusion of rviia Bleeding/surgical intervention Start bolus (mcg/kg) Dose (mcg/kg/h) Duration (days) Efficacy dental extraction dental extraction joint/muscle bleed tongue bleed psoas bleed lymph node surgery GI bleed hip arthroplasty hip arthroplasty Effective Partially effective Effective Effective Effective Effective Effective Effective Effective (Mauser-Bunschoten et al., Neth J Med 1998)
18 Conclusion Hundreds of patients with antibodies to FVIII/FIX have received rfviia for treating bleeding episodes or preventing surgical haemorrhages Haemostasis achieved in 75 to 90 % of cases Safety profile Rare thrombotic complications No anamnestic response to FVIII/FIX No documented viral seroconversion Need for surrogate markers of haemostasis Cost issue
19 Use of FEIBA for bleeding prevention during surgery in patients with inhibitors
20 Main characteristics of 15 minor surgical procedures No. Procedure No of infusions Duration (days) Total dose (U) Dose (U/kg/d) 1 Trephine biopsy Insertion of Hickman-line Tooth extraction Cataract & intraocular lens implantation Cataract & intraocular lens implantation Circumcision (phimosis) Teleangiectasia (tongue)/laser coagulation Cataract & intraocular lens implantation Tooth extraction Cystoscopy/pyelography Endoscopic Tx of eroded vessel in oesophageal ulcer Excision of prepatellar bursa Tooth extraction Tooth extraction Paronychia/toenail excision
21 Main characteristics of 7 major surgical procedures No Procedure No of infusion s Duration (days) Total dose (10 3 U) Dose U/kg/day Complications Hemostatic outcome 5 Arthroplasty (knee) 5 Arthroplasty (hip) 6 Nephrectomy/ Splenectomy Drainage 750 ml HGB 45 gl HGB dropped to 68 gl -1 2 PRC Yes, splenic hemorrhage Good Good Good 6 Wound rupture Revision 17 5 a No Excellent 7 Sigmoidect Yes; MI Excellent 8 Arthroplasty (knee) HGB 62 gl -1 2 PRC Good 10 Arthroplasty (knee) No Excellent a due to shortness of supplies, FEIBA was followed by rviia (NovoSeven ) for an additional three days; a total dose of 57.6 mg rfviia was administered
22 SURF project - Objectives Efficacy of FEIBA in surgery - intra-operative haemostasis - post-operative haemostasis - duration of treatment - dosage Safety - immediate tolerance - recommended maximum daily dose - anamnestic response Explore correlation of clinical efficacy and safety with laboratory markers (e.g. TGA, or others?) Identify best practices in haemostatic management of haemophiliacs with inhibitors undergoing surgery

24 FEIBA dosing regimens for severe risk surgical procedures Negrier C et al, Haemophilia 2012
25
26 Conclusion Favorable efficacy/tolerance profile of FEIBA Very few AEs Can be used for surgeries (over 100 in the last 20 years) More precise definition of the mode of action Need for a biological test to assess haemostatic efficacy World-wide PMS to increase the knowledge on the use of FEIBA for surgeries
27 Do anti-fibrinolytics increase efficacy? Patients treated with rfviia Without anti-fibrinolytics: 66% efficacy With anti-fibrinolytics: 96% efficacy (Schulman S., Haemophilia 4 (1998) ) Patients treated with FEIBA Not in label as systematic use not documented However, safe application reported (of 2g/day for 5 days) (Menart C et al, Haemophilia 5 (1999) )

53 Conclusion Until recently, surgery in haemophilia patients with inhibitors was strongly contraindicated and was therefore often not even contemplated The availability of bypassing therapy has made it possible to safely and effectively perform minor, major, and dental surgical procedures on patients with haemophilia and inhibitors The choice of treatment for bleeding in inhibitor patients is dictated by a combination of several parameters: severity of the bleeding risk (major/moderate/minor), current inhibitor titre, previous anamnestic response to FVIII/IX, previous clinical response and side-effect profile of the agents available Need to develop laboratory assays to monitor therapeutic efficacy, together with a better understanding of the causes of treatment resistance. These surrogate parameters might serve to evaluate FEIBA/rFVIIa pharmacokinetic before and/or during surgery and should correlate with clinical efficacy and follow-up, as well as with early detection of an abnormal activation of the coagulation system
54 Conclusion (cont d) FVII:C levels attained in plasma do not always predict efficacy because similarly high levels are attained during successful treatments and in those that failed Additional options: Temporary inhibitor removal using extracorporeal immunoadsorption (column system including either protein A or antihuman IgG) prior to surgery, thus rendering the patient more responsive to ordinary replacement therapy with factor VIII or factor IX. Desmopressin can be especially recommended in mild haemophilia complicated by an inhibitor Antifibrinolytics are often administered as an adjunct therapy to the treatment protocol Topical fibrin glue An organized team approach is critical to success
