摘要
Abstract Introduction Emicizumab is a humanized bispecific monoclonal antibody licensed for patients with severe haemophilia A. Breakthrough bleeding still occurs in patients on emicizumab and can be managed with recombinant factor VIIa (rFVIIa) or activated prothrombin complex concentrate (aPCC). Thrombotic events were reported when patients on emicizumab received concomitant aPCC at relatively high doses. We studied the effect of infusing various doses of aPCC to patients on emicizumab. Material and methods Nine patients with severe haemophilia A with inhibitors who are on emicizumab were recruited to participate. Patients were infused with varying doses of aPCC in vivo. Samples were tested with thrombin generation (TG) assay. Results In the current in vivo arm of the study four out of nine patients reached the highest dose, 75 U/kg of aPCC and six out of nine patients were actually eligible for the highest dose. In the previous in vitro arm of the study seven out of eight patients reached the normal plasma with spiking aPCC at a very low concentration equivalent to 5 U/kg. Conclusion The in vitro portion of the study demonstrated that clinically relevant concentrations of aPCC resulted in excessive TG, however, in vivo administration of aPCC to the same patients demonstrated that most of the patients had normal TG at the approved doses of aPCC. In the management of breakthrough bleeding clinicians should heed the boxed warning for concomitant use of emicizumab and aPCC, however, should also be aware that low doses of aPCC may not result in sufficient TG.
