What is Acute Myeloid Leukemia?

  • Cancer of immature blood cells

  • Patients die of insufficient normal blood cells - infection, bleeding

  • US Incidence - 10,500 per year

  • Outcome depends on number of factors

  • < 50yrs old: 5yr survival 30-40%

  • 60yrs old: 1yr survival 10-20%

  • No major changes in treatment for last 20 years

  • Based on aggressive chemotherapy

  • Sometimes bone marrow transplantation

  • Otherwise palliative (maintaining best quality of life)

Recombinant Coagulation Factors with Albumin Fusion Technology

Half-life Improvement for Coagulation Products

Products with improved half-life will be beneficial to patients

  • Less frequent injections

  • Improved compliance

  • May enable prophylaxis

Numerous technologies to extend half-life of proteins

  • Sustained delivery

  • Chemical modification

  • Genetic mutation

  • Fusion with carrier proteins (Fc fusion, Albumin)

Albumin as a Carrier Protein

  • Albumin has a naturally long half-life (~20 days)

  • Highly abundant protein

  • Molecular structure is known

  • Proof of principle data for fusion proteins

Coagulation factor Albumin + short half-life long half-life

Albumin fusion = Albumin half-life extension

rFVIIa - Albumin Fusion Protein

  • Albumin fused to the C-terminus of FVII

  • Flexible glycine-serine linker

  • Expression in mammalian cell culture
