IMPROVED MEDIAN ABR AND REDUCED INJECTION
TREATMENT BURDEN POST-SWITCH
FROM SHL FIX5
A UK retrospective longitudinal analysis investigated clotting factor use
and
bleed outcomes associated with switching from SHL FIX to ALPROLIX prophylaxis
(N=44). The within-patient comparison used pre- and post-switch Haemtrack data
with two years of follow-up:5
Improved bleed protection5
Significant reduction in median ABR with ALPROLIX vs pre-switch SHL
FIX5
Reduced injection frequency5
One less injection per week
after switching (N=44)5
Pre-switch: 2 injections/week (IQR,1.7–2.2)
Post-switch: 1 injection/week (IQR, 0.9–1.1)
A within-patient reduction of 47% (-52% to -39%; p<0.001)
Reduced factor consumption5
Significant reduction in median weekly factor consumption with
ALPROLIX vs pre-switch SHL FIX5
No safety data were collected.5

In 2020, the National Haemophilia Database (NHD) studied clotting factor
use and bleed outcomes associated with switching from SHL FIX to ALPROLIX
prophylaxis in a retrospective, longitudinal analysis:5
Within-patient comparison over a two-year period (sub-group analysis)5
Data analysed for 44/68 patients who were haemtrack-compliant
with 6 months of pre- and post-switch data5
Patient population5
- People with haemophilia B
- Haemtrack-compliant
- ≥6 months of pre- and post-switch Haemtrack data
- Median (IQR) age: 25 (11–47) years
Outcome measures:5
- ABR
- AjBR
- Injection frequency
- Clotting factor consumption
ABR, annaulised bleeding rate; AjBR, annualised joint bleeding rate; FIX, factor IX; IQR, interquartile range; SHL, standard half-life.
