1 Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency Natural History Study Rachael Grace, MD, MMSc On behalf of the PKD NHS Investigators Assistant Professor, Harvard Medical School Director, Hematology Clinic, Boston Children s Hospital, MA, USA 6 th EUROPEAN SYMPOSIUM ON RARE ANAEMIAS 1 st Dutch-Belgian meeting for patients and health professionals 21 st - 22 nd November 2015 Amsterdam - The Netherlands

2 Disclosures The PKD Natural History Study is funded by Agios Pharmaceuticals I am a Scientific Advisor for Agios Pharmaceuticals I will not discuss off label use or investigational agents in my presentation 2

3 This talk is applicable for: Thalassemia Sickle cell disease Membrane disorders (e.g. spherocytosis) Enzyme defects (e.g. PKD, G6PD) PNH Other forms of hemolytic disease Definite Probable

4 Key Points PKD NHS will allow us to learn more about the symptoms, complications, and treatment of PK Deficiency. Monitoring for complications, such as gallstones and iron overload, is important even in patients with mild clinical characteristics. Even among patients with the same genotype, there is wide phenotypic variability establishing that the clinical manifestations of PKD vary depending on many other factors. Longitudinal data will provide additional important information about the natural history of PK deficiency. 4

5 PKD Natural History Study Goal is to increase our understanding of PK deficiency Clinical information and surveys over 2 years Blood sample for research genetic testing to confirm diagnosis Coordinating Site: Boston Children s Hospital Current Sites: United States: 18 sites (n=121) Europe: 6 sites (n=63) Canada: 3 sites (n=11) Laboratories: Paola Bianchi, Elisa Fermo (Milan, Italy) Patrick Gallagher, Kimberly Lezon-Geyda (CT, USA) Current Enrollment: 195 participants to date, actively enrolling

19 Adult Patient Reported Outcomes Surveys Participants complete surveys which cover a number of domains o EuroQoL-5D Mobility, Self Care, Activities, Discomfort, and Anxiety/Depression n=71 o Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT)-Anemia Physical, Social/Family, Emotional, Functional, and Fatigue n=71 o Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Fatigue n=45 o A latent variable regression model was used to assess the relationship between each domain and hemoglobin, gender, splenectomy status, and age 19

20 Adult Survey Results Associations with splenectomy: More likely to work (FACT-An, p=0.004) More likely to enjoy life, accept their illness, and be content with their lives (FACT-An, p=0.004) Associations with higher hemoglobin levels: Increased ability to work (FACT-An, p<0.001) Enhanced scores of emotional well-being (FACT-An, p=0.001) Higher report of emotional/family support (FACT-An, p=0.001) Associations with female gender Higher levels of fatigue (PROMIS, p=0.05) Associations with older age: Higher levels of fatigue (EQ, p=0.02) Lower physical health (p=0.01) and less emotional support (FACT-An, p=0.03) Decreased ability to work (FACT-An, p<0.001) 20

21 Classification Groups of Clinical Severity 21

22 Classification Groups of Clinical Severity Increased clinical severity was associated with: Younger age at diagnosis Higher rate of iron overload/chelation Iron overload was common in all groups regardless of transfusion history Reticulocyte counts and MCV were incrementally higher with increasing clinical severity, even after controlling for splenectomy status. Trend for increased rates of cholecystectomy with increased clinical severity 22

23 Summary and Conclusions PKD NHS is the largest assembly of patients with PK deficiency to date. We defined 4 severity groups base on transfusion history, anemia, and splenectomy status. Many complications correlate with disease severity. Monitoring for complications, such as gallstones and iron overload, is important even in patients with mild clinical characteristics. Prospective data from the NHS will provide additional guidance for monitoring and treatment in this rare anemia. 23
