Marstacimab, an investigational human monoclonal antibody targeting tissue factor pathway inhibitor, demonstrated safety and efficacy in preventing bleeding episodes in patients with haemophilia. This multicentre, open-label study investigated safety, tolerability, and efficacy of long-term weekly prophylactic marstacimab treatment in participants with severe haemophilia A and B, with or without inhibitors. Adult participants were enrolled from a previous phase Ib/II study or de novo and assigned to one of two subcutaneous (SC) marstacimab doses: once-weekly 300 mg or a 300-mg loading dose followed by once-weekly 150-mg doses, for up to 365 days.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates pain related to vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs) in sickle cell disease (SCD) patients, highlighting the lack of objective pain biomarkers and variability in healthcare usage.
  • A longitudinal 6-month trial involved 37 SCD participants who used an electronic patient-reported outcome tool and actigraph devices to track pain, activity, and biomarkers during reported VOC days.
  • Results demonstrated significant changes in pain, functionality, and specific biomarkers during VOC days, suggesting that patient-reported data can effectively monitor at-home pain and contribute to future clinical trials in SCD.

This phase Ib study randomized patients with stable sickle cell disease (SCD) aged 18-65 years to twice-daily PF-04447943 (a phosphodiesterase 9A inhibitor; 5 or 25 mg) or placebo, with/without hydroxyurea coadministration, for up to 29 days. Blood samples were collected at baseline and various posttreatment time points for assessments of PF-04447943 pharmacokinetics (PKs)/pharmacodynamics (PDs). Change from baseline in potential SCD-related biomarkers was evaluated.

Unlabelled: An open-label, single-dose, randomized, two-period, crossover study comparing the pharmacokinetics of factor VIII activity in plasma (FVIII:C) after administration of an albumin-free presentation of moroctocog alfa (test) and moroctocog alfa manufactured using the previous technique (reference) was conducted in 30 (25 evaluable) male subjects who had severe hemophilia A (FVIII:C < 1 IU/dL). Blood samples were collected for 48 h after administration of each dose.

Fviii: C was assayed using a chromogenic substrate assay.

This prospective, open-label, postauthorisation safety surveillance study assessed clinically significant inhibitor development in patients with severe haemophilia A transitioning from moroctocog alfa or other factor VIII (FVIII) replacement products to reformulated moroctocog alfa (AF-CC). Males aged ≥ 12 years with severe haemophilia A (FVIII:C) < 1 IU/dl), > 150 exposure days (EDs) to recombinant or plasma-derived FVIII products, and no detectable inhibitor at screening were enrolled. Primary end point was the incidence of clinically significant FVIII inhibitor development.

Fviii: C) after administration of a new presentation of moroctocog alfa containing 3,000 IU in a dual-chamber syringe and the combined contents of approved 1,000 and 2,000 IU vials was conducted in 16 male subjects who had moderately severe or severe hemophilia A (FVIII:C ≤2 IU/dL). Blood samples were collected for 72 hours after administration of the dose.

Fviii: C were assayed using a chromogenic substrate assay in a central laboratory.
