Este documento trata sobre el tratamiento de pacientes con hemofilia que tienen inhibidores. Discuten varios temas clave como la incidencia de inhibidores, factores de riesgo genéticos y no genéticos para su desarrollo, opciones de tratamiento para hemorragias agudas y crónicas, y estudios sobre la inducción de inmunotolerancia para eliminar los inhibidores. El objetivo final es mejorar los resultados del tratamiento y la calidad de vida de estas personas con una complicación grave de la hemofilia.

2. Anticuerpos Inhibidores en Hemofilia A.
Un reto a la Hemostasia.
● La presencia de anticuerpos anti-factor VIII/IX
representa una grave complicación del tratamiento de
la hemofilia.
● Constituye un auténtico reto para los centros de
tratamiento, en su intento de disminuir la alta
morbilidad e incluso mortalidad que presentan estos
pacientes.
25/04/13 2Joan M Tusell
3. Inhibidores: Complicación Grave.
• Incidencia: 30 % en Hemofilia A.
5% en hemofilia B.
• No sangran más, pero presentan una
peor evolución por una peor respuesta
al tratamiento.
• Gran incremento de morbilidad y
mortalidad.
25/04/13 Slide No 3Joan M Tusell
4. Anticuerpos Inhibidores.
• IgG; Generalmente subclase 4 ó mezcla 1
and 4.
• Se presentan en:
– Hemofilia congénita tras el tratamiento = aloinmune.
– Personas previamente normales = autoinmune. Hemofilia adquirida.
IgG= Inmunoglobulina G

5. Inhibidores en Hemofilia Congénita.
• Incidencia:
– Inhibidores del F VIII:~ 30 % (10–45 %)
– Inhibidores del F IX: ~ 5%
• Medida:
– Unidades Bethesda = UB.
– 1 UB = candidad de inhibidor que neutraliza el
50% de la actividad del factor VIII; 2 horas, 37°C.
• Aparición: Antes de las 20-30 primeras infusiones.
• Rara desaparición espontánea

20. Vision
• Dr Ulla Hedner is a haematologist.
• In 1972, driven by the belief that there
was a better way to help people with
haemophilia and inhibitors, she started
work on factor VIIa.
• Her discovery would go on to change the
lives of people with haemophilia and
inhibitors the world over.
• Dr Hedner was inspired to join Novo
Nordisk and is now a Senior Vice
President for Research and
Development.
25/04/13 20Joan M Tusell
22. rVIIa. Primera experiencia.
• Uso de recombinante en 1988.
• Successful use of recombinant factor VIIa in a patient with
severe haemophilia A during synovectomy.

26. Protocol Background
Bonn •Developed in Germany in the late 1970s
•Original protocol recommended very high daily doses of FVIII/FIX
•Modified versions of the protocol developed
for different patient groups
Malmö • Intensive inpatient regimen that includes
immune absorption and close medical observation
developed in Sweden (Malmö University Hospital) in 1980s
•Has since undergone many modifications
ITI Protocol
25/04/13 26Joan M Tusell
27. Tratamiento de Inducción de la
Inmunotolerancia. FVIII
• Consiste en la administración de dosis altas y repetidas (diarias) para
conseguir la depleción de la memoria de las células B.
• Es un tratamiento muy costoso y muy intenso, con importante
afectación de la calidad de vida de paciente y familia .
• Se puede conseguir en una mayoría de los casos (65-90%) erradicar el
inhibidor en un corto espacio de tiempo si se lleva a cabo
precozmente (3-6-12 m).
• Puede convertir de nuevo al paciente en un hemofílico candidato al
tratamiento profiláctico con factor VIII.
• Es considerada ampliamente como la mejor opción y es preciso
llevarla a cabo lo más pronto posible para optimizar los resultados.
25/04/13 27Joan M Tusell
28. ITI. Estado del Arte.
• Iniciar el tratamiento lo antes posible. Título < 10UB. (?)
• Duración: ~6 m (3-24 m).
• Eficacia: global ~75 %; casos seleccionados :~ 90 %.
• Recaídas: no frecuentes, 5-10 %.
• Tratamiento de elección para pacientes jóvenes en recomendaciones
europeas y americanas.
• Intenso debate sobre la dosis a utilizar; dosis altas diarias, dosis bajas tres
veces por semana y tipo de concentrado autilizar (recombinante frente a
plasmático).
25/04/13 28Joan M Tusell
29. Inhibitors. ITI Study.
• International ITI Study. High vs low doses.
• ITI success rates did not differ between treatment
arms: 76% of pts reaching a study end-point became
tolerant.
• International prospective randomised immune tolerance
(ITI) study: interinanalysis of therapeutic efficacy and
safety.

34. Inhibitors: “The Problem” in Haemophilia
• Since the prophylaxis, the development of inhibitors remains as the
must important problem in haemophilia
• Eradication: the “obsession” of haemophilia treaters
– ITI. 1st attempt: Recombinant ???? 60%
– ITI. 2nd attempt: Plasma derivate (50% of 40%) 20 %
– 3st attempt: Immune suppression (50% of 20%) 10 %
Global prevalence: 10%. Total eradicated: 90%
25/04/13 34Joan M Tusell
35. Futuro Esperanzador
• Aparecen menos inhibidores y mejor
porcentaje de erradicación por ITI.
• Mejores y nuevos productos que faciliten
mejores modelos de tratamiento (tratamiento
agudo y profilaxis).
• Persistir en la mejoría en la calidad de vida.
• Reducir costes.

Inhibitors Inhibitors in persons with hemophilia A or hemophilia B are alloantibodies of the IgG class, usually subtypes IgG1 and IgG4. Inhibitors occur either in patients with congenital factor deficiencies, in which case they are alloimmune antibodies, or in previously unaffected individuals, in which case they are termed autoimmune antibodies, or acquired hemophilia.
Inhibitors Congenital Deficiency States The prevalence of inhibitors for persons with severe FVIII deficiency has been estimated to be approximately 30% with a reported range of 10 to 50%. In individuals with severe FIX deficiency, inhibitors are mush less common with a prevalence of approximately 3 to 5%. The presence of an inhibitor is measured in the Bethesda assay and is reported in Bethesda units (BU). One BU is the amount of inhibitor that will result in a loss of 50% of factor activity when the patient’s plasma is incubated with normal plasma for 2 hours at 37 C.
Inhibitors generally can be classified into the 3 types illustrated graphically on this slide. Patients with inhibitor assays that increase to >10 BU after some exposure to factor concentrate or who have inhibitor assays >10 BU at baseline are considered to have high-titer or high-responding inhibitors. Patients who have inhibitor assays of <10 BU that despite repeated exposure do not significantly increase when treated with factor concentrate are defined as low-titer or low-responding inhibitors. Infrequently, patients may develop transient inhibitors that spontaneously disappear and generally are of short duration. Of the hemophilia patients who develop clinically significant inhibitors, 20% to 25% have the low-responding type. Bleeding in these patients may be treated successfully with larger doses of factor concentrate, whereas treatment of bleeding episodes in patients with high-titer inhibitors poses a greater challenge.
2
Persons with low-titer inhibitors often can be treated with FVIII concentrates, either human or porcine derived. However, bypassing products typically are used as first-line treatment for bleeding episodes. These include PCCs (either “standard” or activated), APCCs, and now rFVIIa. There currently are several options available for treatment of acute hemorrhage in patients with high-responding inhibitors. Acutely, patients experiencing a limb- or life-threatening bleeding episode may be treated with FVIII concentrates, either human or porcine, if the respective human or porcine factor VIII inhibitor titer is <10 BU. However, bypassing products typically are used as first-line treatment for bleeding episodes in routine hemorrhagic episodes regardless of present inhibitor titer, or in those patients who experience limb- or life-threatening bleeding with a present human or porcine titer greater than 10 BU. These bypassing products include PCCs or their activated counterparts, APCCs (such as FEIBA ® or Autoplex ® ), and now rFVIIa (NovoSeven ® ).
Previous models of coagulation as you can see in the slide were useful for explainig the coagulation tests, but it is known nowadays that they do not represent the phisyological process of clotting.
FEIBA: Sites of Action Based on FEIBA components there are several sites of action along the coagulation cascade: FVIIa is not the major active component of FEIBA. FXa and FII (prothrombin) are crucial to FEIBA’s Factor VIII inhibitor bypassing activity. The complex FXa/FII binds to FVa and catalyses the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. Thrombin formation is the keystone of clot formation. Turecek PL et al. Vox Sang 1999; 77 (suppl 1): 72-79.
