Objectives: To assess the real-world efficacy and safety of recombinant factor IX albumin fusion protein (rIX-FP) in patients with hemophilia B (HB) in France.
Methods: Data on dosing frequency, weekly consumption, and bleeds before-and-after switching to rIX-FP, were collected from December 2021 to February 2024. Annualized (spontaneous) bleeding rates [A(s)BRs] were calculated only in patients on prophylaxis with a follow-up ≥ 6 months.
Results: This interim analysis focused on 77 patients ≥ 12 years; 62 (81%) had severe HB. After switching to rIX-FP, the infusion interval was 14 (7-14) days. Weekly consumption was 43 (35.5-53) IU/kg. ABRs and AsBRs were 0.5 (0-1.9) and 0 (0-0.7) (n = 63) at 18.2 (12.3-21.9) months of follow-up. Prophylactic efficacy of rIX-FP was considered 'Excellent'/'Good' in 65/68 (95%) patients. Among the 43 patients previously treated with rFIXFc, 21 increased the infusion interval from 7 (7-11) days with rFIXFc to 14 (7-14) days with rIX-FP; 33/43 (77%) reduced weekly factor IX (FIX) consumption from 59.95 (46.35-77.93) to 42.5 (35.88-50.25) IU/kg. Patients maintained good protection against bleeds.
Conclusion: This analysis confirmed that switching to rIX-FP allows for reducing injection frequency and FIX consumption while maintaining good bleed protection.

Switching to rIX-FP prophylaxis at dosing intervals of up to 14 days in a hemophilia B pediatric patient decreased treatment burden by reducing the number of administrations and hospital visits, without affecting efficacy or treatment adherence. This is particularly important in contexts of limited mobility and overloaded healthcare services.

Standard FIX prophylaxis for PWHB require frequent injections, which has led to the development of extended half-life products like rIX-FP (albutrepenonacog alfa) that has shown good efficacy in clinical studies. This ambispective study aims to report a real-world experience with rIX-FP in a Spanish centre with PWHB who switched from SHL-FIX or began prophylaxis with rIX-FP. Five PWHB were included in this study, Four PTP switched to rIX-FP with prophylaxis every 7 days whilst one PUP started with an every-14-days regimen.

Background: Extended half-life factor IX (FIX) products have revolutionized prophylactic treatment for patients with hemophilia B as patients maintain protective FIX levels with minimal occurrence of spontaneous bleeding. rIX-FP is an extended half-life FIX product that allows prolonged dosing intervals.
Objectives: To assess individualized and prolonged prophylactic dosing interval up to 21 days in adult patients (≥18 years) with hemophilia B in the rIX-FP clinical trial program.

Purpose Of Review: We present a case of a boy diagnosed in 2007 with severe haemophilia B [factor IX (FIX) concentration < 1%] at age of 9 months. He was initially treated with recombinant FIX concentrates, but changes in regimens were frequent due to spontaneous hemarthros. In 2013, he entered a phase III trial (NCT01662531) and received rIX-FP, IDELVION at 50 IU/kg once a week.
