Indications and Limitation of Use: ADYNOVATE® [Antihemophilic factor (Recombinant), PEGylated] is a human antihemophilic factor indicated for use in children and adults with hemophilia A for the control and prevention of bleeding episodes. ADYNOVATE is not indicated for the treatment of von Willebrand disease.1
study design
In children under 12 years old: This prospective open-label, uncontrolled pivotal phase 3 study evaluated the efficacy, PK, and safety of 40–60 IU/kg ADYNOVATE twice-weekly prophylaxis and determined the ability to treat bleeding episodes for 6 months in 66 previously treated children under 12 years old with severe hemophilia A. The primary endpoint was to assess the development of FVIII inhibitors.1
In adolescents and adults 12 years and older: This open-label, nonrandomized, pivotal phase 2/3 study evaluated the efficacy, PK, and safety of ADYNOVATE twice-weekly prophylaxis vs on-demand treatment and determined hemostatic efficacy in the treatment of bleeding episodes for 6 months in 137 previously treated patients 12 years and older with severe hemophilia A. The primary study goal was to compare the ABR between the prophylaxis vs on-demand treatment regimens.1
CONTRAINDICATIONS: Prior anaphylactic reaction to ADYNOVATE, to the parent molecule (ADVATE [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant)]), mouse or hamster protein, or excipients of ADYNOVATE (e.g. Tris, mannitol, trehalose, glutathione, and/or polysorbate 80).

study results
Adolescents and adults 12 years and older:
Improvement in both bleed and pain severity was seen after 6 months of prophylaxis2
Children under 12:
Overall, a reduction in pain and increase in physical activity were seen after 6 months of prophylaxis2

Hypersensitivity Reactions: Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported with ADYNOVATE. Hypersensitivity reactions that can progress to anaphylaxis may include angioedema, chest tightness, dyspnea, wheezing, urticaria, pruritus, and nausea and vomiting. Immediately discontinue administration and initiate appropriate treatment if hypersensitivity reactions occur.

of these patients (8 of 10),
all target joints resolved3§A target joint is defined as a single joint (ankles, knees, hips, or elbows) with ≥3 spontaneous bleeding episodes in any consecutive 6-month period. Target joint resolution is defined as zero bleeds into a target joint over a consecutive 6-month period.
Hypersensitivity Reactions: Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported with ADYNOVATE. Hypersensitivity reactions that can progress to anaphylaxis may include angioedema, chest tightness, dyspnea, wheezing, urticaria, pruritus, and nausea and vomiting. Immediately discontinue administration and initiate appropriate treatment if hypersensitivity reactions occur.

study design
A retrospective, observational, U.S.-based analysis was conducted from November 2015 to September 2017 to describe the clinical profiles of 56 patients with hemophilia A, between the ages of 5 and 88, who transitioned from prophylaxis with any rFVIII to ADYNOVATE prophylaxis. Some of the measured endpoints before and after switching from a previous rFVIII to ADYNOVATE included ABR (calculated for patients receiving ADYNOVATE greater than or equal to 3 months) and qualitative adherence. 4
Limitations
The limitations of this retrospective, observational study include: Patients were not randomized, observers were not blinded, and some subgroups (eg, patients <12 years of age, patients treated with a prior EHL rFVIII) were small in sample size. In addition, bleeding rates were patient reported.

Since these data are from a retrospective, observational chart review, they have less evidentiary value than prospective, controlled studies. Further confirmatory studies are required to draw any conclusions from these data.

ADVERSE REACTIONS: The most common adverse reactions (≥1% of subjects) reported in the clinical studies were headache, diarrhea, rash, nausea, dizziness and urticaria.

reported good to complete adherence4
The definition of adherence was considered according to the percentage of prescribed doses that were taken: 100% = complete adherence; 80%—99% = good adherence; 50%—79% = moderate adherence; <50% =poor adherence4
Data from the real-world study on overall ADYNOVATE adherence were provided for 56 patients:4
For patients less than 12 years of age, 91% (10/11) indicated good to complete adherence to ADYNOVATE4
For patients 12 years and older, 78% (35/45) indicated good to complete adherence to ADYNOVATE4
ADVERSE REACTIONS: The most common adverse reactions (≥1% of subjects) reported in the clinical studies were headache, diarrhea, rash, nausea, dizziness and urticaria.

Diagnosed with hemophilia before being born, Aaron didn’t get his first bleed until he was nine months old. From then on, his home care nurse infused him on-demand. Then Aaron’s parents starting taking over the infusions when he was two. He says, “My parents say that I never ran or hid from my infusion, and they tell me they even remember me watching the procedure.” Aaron himself, learned to infuse at hemophilia camp, which was a family tradition every summer. It was a great place for him to meet other boys his age and learn about his condition.
Today, Aaron treats his hemophilia A prophylactically with ADYNOVATE. He became interested in the treatment after hearing about the extended half-life. Aaron admits that he sometimes felt like prophylaxis treatment was a chore. So, having a simple twice weekly dosing schedule on the same two days each week was important to him.
The efficacy of ADYNOVATE for prophylaxis was studied in clinical trials
