ABSTRACT
Introduction
Emicizumab is a bispecific antibody exerting cofactor function of FVIIIa irrespective of the presence of FVIII inhibitors. Long-term data of phase 1/2 and phase 3 studies have been accumulated. Various questions such as indicated patients, ITI, application to PUPs, hemostatic treatment including surgeries, and emicizumab-related morbidity remain to be solved.
Areas covered
The review describes the mode of action, data from pre-/post-marketing and ongoing clinical studies according to PubMed search and our own works.
Expert opinion
For patients with a persistent inhibitor, emicizumab is a definite therapeutic option, although the possibility of BPAs-associated thromboembolic/TMA events raises concerns. The use of ITI together with emicizumab prophylaxis is being examined in clinical trials. For non-inhibitor, especially pediatric patients, emicizumab prophylaxis can be an option. Outcome assessment ‘beyond ABR’ such as joint health, physical/mental activity, QOL is required. Furthermore, continuous data collection for emicizumab-related adverse events and morbidity would be recommended.

用于治疗血友病 A 的双特异性抗体
摘要
介绍
Emicizumab 是一种双特异性抗体,无论是否存在 FVIII 抑制剂,都发挥 FVIIIa 的辅因子功能。已经积累了1/2期和3期研究的长期数据。各种问题,如适应症患者、ITI、PUP 的应用、止血治疗(包括手术)和 emicizumab 相关的发病率仍有待解决。
涵盖的领域
根据 PubMed 搜索和我们自己的工作,该审查描述了行动模式、来自上市前/上市后和正在进行的临床研究的数据。
专家意见
对于具有持续抑制剂的患者,emicizumab 是一种明确的治疗选择,尽管 BPA 相关的血栓栓塞/TMA 事件的可能性引起了人们的关注。临床试验中正在检查 ITI 和 emicizumab 预防的使用。对于非抑制剂,尤其是儿科患者,emicizumab 预防可能是一种选择。需要“超越 ABR”的结果评估,例如关节健康、身体/心理活动、生活质量。此外,建议持续收集 emicizumab 相关不良事件和发病率的数据。
