Change observed in Haem-A-QoL Physical Health Score from 37.0 at baseline to 29.7 at Week 52*
*This is information from a study of 13 previously treated adults with severe hemophilia A that had the goal of comparing how long ALTUVIIIO, Adynovate® [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), PEGylated], and Advate® [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant)] stayed in the body after 1 dose. Half-life was 43 hours for ALTUVIIIO, 15 hours for Adynovate, and 11 hours for Advate.
Adynovate and Advate are registered trademarks of Baxalta Incorporated, a Takeda company.
EHL=extended half-life; SHL=standard half-life.
Average trough levels were 9% for adolescents aged 12 years to under 18 years.
Average trough levels were 9% for adolescents aged 12 years to under 18 years.
158 males and 1 female with severe hemophilia (aged 12 years and older)
switched to ALTUVIIIO prophylaxis from prior prophylaxis therapy. Efficacy of prophylaxis was evaluated in 128 of these patients.
Included 1 female participant
switched from prior on‑demand therapy to ALTUVIIIO on‑demand for 26 weeks, and finally to ALTUVIIIO prophylaxis for another 26 weeks
Children under 12 years were enrolled in XTEND-Kids, an ongoing pediatric study. XTEND-Kids enrolled 67 male previously treated patients <12 years of age with severe hemophilia A. Of the 67 enrolled subjects, all received at least 1 dose of ALTUVIIIO. Efficacy of prophylaxis was evaluated in 23 of these patients.

In the pediatric study, routine prophylaxis with ALTUVIIIO resulted in a mean ABR of 0.5* and a median ABR of 0.*
In Group 1:
133 people aged 12 years and older had prior prophylaxis therapy and switched to ALTUVIIIO. 78 of those people participated in a separate study to measure their ABRs on their prior prophylaxis. Comparing the results of the 78 people who participated in both studies showed:

In Group 2:
26 people aged 12 years and older were treated on-demand with ALTUVIIIO, then switched to ALTUVIIIO prophylaxis for 26 weeks.
77% of people had zero bleeds*

Change observed in Haem-A-QoL Physical Health Score from 37.0 at baseline to 29.7 at Week 52*
Reduction observed in PROMIS Pain Intensity 3a Score from 2.5 at baseline to 2.2 at Week 52*
A lower score represents an overall improvement in these measures.
The XTEND-1 study was designed so patients and their doctors knew they were taking ALTUVIIIO, which may have impacted these findings. The study was a single-arm study, so all participants in the trial were treated with ALTUVIIIO and there was no other treatment to compare, which may impact the ability to assess the effect of ALTUVIIIO on these patient-reported outcomes. The PROMIS tool was not specifically developed for use in hemophilia patients.
*Patient-reported outcomes of pain intensity and physical-health scores were evaluated in patients receiving ALTUVIIIO prophylaxis in Group 1. The PROMIS Pain intensity 3a instrument was used to assess pain, specifically the first question that rates the worst pain experienced during the last 7 days. Physical-health scores were assessed in patients 17 years and older using the Physical Health Score of Haem-A-QoL, which evaluated factors such as painful swellings, presence of joint pain, pain with movement, difficulty walking far, and needing more time to get ready.

In the XTEND-1 study, 350 out of 362 bleeds that occurred were resolved with only one infusion.

Let’s stay in touch. We’ll occasionally send you important information on hemophilia A and ALTUVIIIO.
ALTUVIIIO™ [antihemophilic factor
(recombinant), Fc-VWF-XTEN fusion protein-
ehtl] is an injectable medicine that is used to
control and reduce the number of bleeding episodes in people with hemophilia A (congenital Factor VIII deficiency).
Do not attempt to give yourself an injection unless you have been taught how by your healthcare provider or hemophilia center. You must carefully follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding the dose and schedule for injecting ALTUVIIIO so that your treatment will work best for you.

Your healthcare provider may give you
ALTUVIIIO when you have surgery.
Do not attempt to give yourself an injection unless you have been taught how by your healthcare provider or hemophilia center. You must carefully follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding the dose and schedule for injecting ALTUVIIIO so that your treatment will work best for you.
You should not use ALTUVIIIO if you have had an allergic reaction to it in the past.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have had any medical problems, take any medications, including prescription and non-prescription medicines, supplements, or herbal medicines, are breastfeeding, or are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
You can have an allergic reaction to ALTUVIIIO. Call your healthcare provider or emergency department right away if you have any of the following symptoms: difficulty breathing, chest tightness, swelling of the face, rash, or hives.
Your body can also make antibodies called “inhibitors” against ALTUVIIIO. This can stop ALTUVIIIO from working properly. Your healthcare provider may give you blood tests to check for inhibitors.
The common side effects of ALTUVIIIO are headache, joint pain, and back pain.
These are not the only possible side effects of ALTUVIIIO. Tell your healthcare provider about any side effect that bothers you or does not go away.
