Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Valoctocogene roxaparvovec is an adeno-associated virus vector serotype 5 (AAV5)-mediated gene therapy approved for severe haemophilia A (HA). AIM: To report the safety and efficacy of valoctocogene roxaparvovec 7 years after dosing in a phase 1/2 clinical study (NCT02576795). METHODS: Males ≥18 years with severe HA (factor VIII [FVIII] ≤1 international unit [IU]/dL) who were previously receiving exogenous FVIII and had no history of FVIII inhibitors or anti-AAV5 antibodies received valoctocogene roxaparvovec treatment and were followed for 7 (6 × 1013 vg/kg; n = 7) and 6 (4 × 1013 vg/kg; n = 6) years. RESULTS: In the last year, one participant in each cohort reported treatment-related adverse events (AEs): grade 1 (G1) hepatomegaly (6 × 1013), and G1 splenomegaly and G1 hepatic steatosis (4 × 1013). During all follow-up, mean annualized treated bleeds and exogenous FVIII infusion rates were ≥88% lower than baseline values. At years 7 and 6, mean (median) FVIII activity (chromogenic assay) was 16.2 (10.3) and 6.7 (7.2) IU/dL in the 6 × 1013 (n = 5) and 4 × 1013 (n = 4) cohorts, respectively, corresponding to mild haemophilia. Regression analyses of the last year estimated rate of change in FVIII activity was -0.001 and -0.07 IU/dL/week for the 6 × 1013 and 4 × 1013 cohorts, respectively. Two participants (6 × 1013) resumed prophylaxis in year 7: one after a non-treatment-related G4 serious AE of spontaneous internal carotid artery bleed, and the other to manage bleeds and FVIII activity. CONCLUSIONS: The safety and efficacy of valoctocogene roxaparvovec remain generally consistent with previous reports, with good haemostatic control for most participants. Two participants returned to prophylaxis.
