Plasma-derived factor X concentrate compassionate use for hereditary factor X deficiency: Long-term safety and efficacy in a retrospective data-collection study.

Background: Coagadex is a high-purity plasma-derived factor X concentrate (pdFX) developed to treat hereditary factor X deficiency (FXD). Objective: Evaluate the efficacy and safety of pdFX administered to patients with hereditary FXD. Methods: This was an open-label, multicenter, retrospective analysis of patients receiving pdFX for compassionate use. Efficacy end points included treatments administered, the number and treatment of bleeds, and investigator assessments. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were monitored. Results: Fifteen patients were included: seven received routine prophylaxis, seven received on-demand treatment, and one alternated. Most were aged ≥12 years (n = 13) and had severe hereditary FXD (n = 12). The median follow-up time was 19.2 months (range, 3.5-48.8). The number of infusions per patient per month was higher for the routine prophylaxis group (median [range], 5.4 [1.4-10.1]) than for the on-demand group (0.8 [0.1-2.3]), as was the dose per infusion (27.9 [21.9-53.6] IU/kg vs 20.0 [13.6-27.7] IU/kg). Patients experienced 88 bleeds (34 minor, 7 major, 47 unclassified). The monthly bleed rate per patient was 0.04 in the routine prophylaxis group (based on 17 bleeds in four patients) and 0.8 in the on-demand group (based on 71 bleeds in eight patients). pdFX was used to treat 79 bleeds and was rated effective in all instances. In an overall assessment, investigators rated pdFX as excellent for 14 patients (93.3%) and good for 1 patient (6.3%). No ADRs or safety concerns were reported. Conclusions: This analysis supports the use of pdFX as a safe, effective treatment for hereditary FXD. Routine prophylaxis with pdFX may reduce bleed frequency
