Recombinant Coagulation Factors with extended half-life

==> picture [721 x 271] intentionally omitted <==

Half-life Improvement for Coagulation Products

Products with improved half-life will be beneficial to patients

  • Less frequent injections

  • Improved compliance

  • May enable prophylaxis

Several 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 FVIIa and FIX

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

Albumin fusion Albumin = half-life extension

Half-life Extension of FVIIa and FIX

  • FVIIa – indicated for treatment of inhibitor patients

  • Half-life ~2.4 h

  • Several infusions required for treatment:

    • 2

    • Joint bleeding:

    • Surgery: every 2 – 3 h for 2days

  • => Goal for half-life extension: One infusion per bleeding event

  • FIX – indicated for treatment of Hemophilia B

  • Half-life ~20 h

  • ~ 3 infusions required per week

  • => Goal for half-life extension: One infusion per week

rFVIIa/ FIX - Albumin Fusion Proteins – Current status

  • Preclinical target validation completed

  • Significant Half-life extension in various animal models

    • rFVIIa: 5 to 9-fold

    • rFIX: 2 to 4-fold

  • Comparable biological activity
