4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 Therapeutic indications
Treatment and prophylaxis of bleeding in patients with haemophilia A (congenital factor VIIIdeficiency). Kovaltry can be used for all age groups.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
Treatment should be under the supervision of a physician experienced in the treatment of haemophilia.
Treatment monitoringDuring the course of treatment, appropriate determination of factor VIII levels is advised to guide thedose to be administered and the frequency of repeated infusions. Individual patients may vary in theirresponse to factor VIII, demonstrating different half-lives and recoveries. Dose based on bodyweightmay require adjustment in underweight or overweight patients.
In the case of major surgical interventions in particular, precise monitoring of the substitution therapyby means of coagulation analysis (plasma factor VIII activity) is indispensable.
PosologyThe dose and duration of the substitution therapy depend on the severity of the factor VIII deficiency,on the location and extent of the bleeding and on the patient's clinical condition.
The number of units of factor VIII administered is expressed in International Units (IU), which arerelated to the current WHO standard for factor VIII products. Factor VIII activity in plasma isexpressed either as a percentage (relative to normal human plasma) or in International Units (relativeto an International Standard for factor VIII in plasma).
One International Unit (IU) of factor VIII activity is equivalent to that quantity of factor VIII inone mL of normal human plasma.
On demand treatmentThe calculation of the required dose of factor VIII is based on the empirical finding that1 International Unit (IU) factor VIII per kg body weight raises the plasma factor VIII activity by 1.5%to 2.5% of normal activity.
The required dose is determined using the following formula:
Required units = body weight (kg) x desired factor VIII rise (% or IU/dL) x reciprocal of observedrecovery (i.e. 0.5 for recovery of 2.0%).
The amount to be administered and the frequency of administration should always be targeted to theclinical effectiveness required in the individual case.
In the case of the following haemorrhagic events, the factor VIII activity should not fall below thegiven level (in % of normal) in the corresponding period. The following table can be used to guidedosing in bleeding episodes and surgery:

Life threatening 60 - 100 Repeat infusion every 8 to 24 hourshaemorrhages until threat is resolved
SurgeryMinor surgery Every 24 hours, at least 1 day, untilincluding tooth extraction 30 - 60 healing is achieved.
Major surgery 80 - 100 Repeat infusion every 8 - 24 hours(pre- and post- until adequate wound healing, thenoperative) therapy for at least another 7 days tomaintain a factor VIII activity of30% to 60% (IU/dL).
ProphylaxisFor long term prophylaxis against bleeding in patients with severe haemophilia A, the usual doses foradolescents (≥ 12 years age) and adult patients are 20 to 40 IU of Kovaltry per kg body weight two tothree times per week.
In some cases, especially in younger patients, shorter dose intervals or higher doses may be necessary.
Paediatric populationA safety and efficacy study has been performed in children of 0 - 12 years (see section 5.1).
The recommended prophylaxis doses are 20-50 IU/kg twice weekly, three times weekly or every otherday according to individual requirements. For paediatric patients above the age of 12, the doserecommendations are the same as for adults.
Method of administrationIntravenous use.Kovaltry should be injected intravenously over 2 to 5 minutes depending on the total volume. The rateof administration should be determined by the patient’s comfort level (maximal rate of infusion:2 mL/min).
For instructions on reconstitution of the medicinal product before administration, see section 6.6 andthe package leaflet.
4.3 Contraindications
* Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients listed insection 6.1.
* Known allergic reactions to mouse or hamster proteins.
4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use
TraceabilityIn order to improve traceability of biological medicinal products, the name and the batch number ofthe administered product should be clearly recorded.
HypersensitivityAllergic type hypersensitivity reactions are possible with Kovaltry.
If symptoms of hypersensitivity occur, patients should be advised to discontinue the use of themedicinal product immediately and contact their physician.
Patients should be informed of the early signs of hypersensitivity reactions including hives,generalised urticaria, tightness of the chest, wheezing, hypotension, and anaphylaxis.
In case of shock, standard medical treatment for shock should be implemented.
InhibitorsThe formation of neutralising antibodies (inhibitors) to factor VIII is a known complication in themanagement of individuals with haemophilia A. These inhibitors are usually IgG immunoglobulinsdirected against the factor VIII procoagulant activity, which are quantified in Bethesda Units (BU)per mL of plasma using the modified assay. The risk of developing inhibitors is correlated to theseverity of the disease as well as the exposure to factor VIII , this risk being highest within the first50 exposure days but continues throughout life although the risk is uncommon.
The clinical relevance of inhibitor development will depend on the titre of the inhibitor, with low titreposing less of a risk of insufficient clinical response than high titre inhibitors.
In general, all patients treated with coagulation factor VIII products should be carefully monitored forthe development of inhibitors by appropriate clinical observations and laboratory tests (seesection 4.2).
If the expected factor VIII activity plasma levels are not attained, or if bleeding is not controlled withan appropriate dose, testing for factor VIII inhibitor presence should be performed. In patients withhigh levels of inhibitor, factor VIII therapy may not be effective and other therapeutic options shouldbe considered. Management of such patients should be directed by physicians with experience in thecare of haemophilia and factor VIII inhibitors.
Cardiovascular eventsIn patients with existing cardiovascular risk factors, substitution therapy with FVIII may increase thecardiovascular risk.
Catheter-related complicationsIf a central venous access device (CVAD) is required, risk of CVAD-related complications includinglocal infections, bacteraemia and catheter site thrombosis should be considered.
It is strongly recommended that every time that Kovaltry is administered to a patient, the name andbatch number of the product are recorded in order to maintain a link between the patient and the batchof the medicinal product.
Paediatric populationThe listed warnings and precautions apply both to adults and children.
Sodium contentThis medicinal product contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per dose, i.e. essentially‘sodium-free’.
4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
No interactions of human coagulation factor VIII (rDNA) products with other medicinal products havebeen reported.
4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation
PregnancyAnimal reproduction studies have not been conducted with factor VIII. Based on the rare occurrenceof haemophilia A in women, experience regarding the use of factor VIII during pregnancy is notavailable.
Therefore, factor VIII should be used during pregnancy only if clearly indicated.
Breast-feedingIt is unknown whether Kovaltry is excreted in human milk. The excretion in animals has not beenstudied. Therefore, factor VIII should be used during breast-feeding only if clearly indicated.
FertilityNo animal fertility studies have been conducted with Kovaltry and its effect on human fertility has notbeen established in controlled clinical trials. Since Kovaltry is a replacement protein of endogenousfactor VIII, no adverse effects on fertility are expected.
4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines
If patients experience dizziness or other symptoms affecting their ability to concentrate and react, it isrecommended that they do not drive or use machines until the reaction subsides.
4.8 Undesirable effects
Summary of the safety profileHypersensitivity or allergic reactions (which may include angioedema, burning and stinging at theinfusion site, chills, flushing, generalised urticaria, headache, hives, hypotension, lethargy, nausea,restlessness, tachycardia, tightness of the chest, tingling, vomiting, wheezing) have been observed andmay in some cases progress to severe anaphylaxis (including shock).
Development of antibodies to mouse and hamster protein with related hypersensitivity reactions mayoccur.
Development of neutralising antibodies (inhibitors) may occur in patients with haemophilia A treatedwith factor VIII (FVIII), including with Kovaltry. If such inhibitors occur, the condition may manifestitself as an insufficient clinical response. In such cases, it is recommended that a specialisedhaemophilia centre be contacted.

Description of selected adverse reactionsA total of 236 (193 PTPs, 43 PUPs/MTPs) patients constituted the pooled safety population in thethree phase III studies in previously treated patients (PTPs), previously untreated patients (PUPs) andminimal treated patients (MTPs); LEOPOLD I, LEOPOLD II, LEOPOLD Kids studies. The mediantime on clinical trial for pooled safety population was 558 days (range 14 to 2436 days) with a medianof 183 exposure days (EDs) (range 1 to 1230 EDs).
* The most frequently reported adverse reactions in the pooled population were pyrexia, headacheand rash.
* The most frequently reported adverse reactions in the PTPs were related to potentialhypersensitivity reactions, including headache, pyrexia, pruritus, rash and abdominaldiscomfort.
* The most frequently reported adverse reaction in PUPs/MTPs was FVIII inhibitor.
ImmunogenicityThe immunogenicity of Kovaltry was evaluated in PTPs and PUPs/MTPs.
During clinical trials with Kovaltry in approximately 200 pediatric and adult patients diagnosed withsevere hemophilia A (FVIII:C < 1%) with previous exposure to factor VIII concentrates ≥ 50 ED, onecase of transient low titer inhibitor (peak titer 1.0 BU/mL) occurred in a 13 year old PTP after549 EDs. The Factor VIII recovery was normal (2.7 IU/dL per IU/kg).
Paediatric populationIn the clinical studies no age-specific differences in ADR were observed except for FVIII inhibitor in
PUPs/MTPs.
Reporting of suspected adverse reactionsReporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. Itallows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcareprofessionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting systemlisted in Appendix V.
4.9 Overdose
No symptoms of overdose with recombinant human coagulation factor VIII have been reported.
5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Pharmacotherapeutic group: antihemorrhagics: blood coagulation factor VIII, ATC code B02BD02.
Mechanism of actionThe factor VIII/von Willebrand factor (vWF) complex consists of two molecules (factor VIII andvWF) with different physiological functions. When infused into a haemophiliac patient, factor VIIIbinds to vWF in the patient’s circulation. Activated factor VIII acts as a cofactor for activatedfactor IX, accelerating the conversion of factor X to activated factor X. Activated factor X convertsprothrombin into thrombin. Thrombin then converts fibrinogen into fibrin and a clot can be formed.
Haemophilia A is a sex-linked hereditary disorder of blood coagulation due to decreased levels offactor VIII:C and results in profuse bleeding into joints, muscles or internal organs, eitherspontaneously or as a result of accidental or surgical trauma. By replacement therapy the plasma levelsof factor VIII are increased, thereby enabling a temporary correction of the factor deficiency andcorrection of the bleeding tendencies.
Of note, annualised bleeding rate (ABR) is not comparable between different factor concentrates andbetween different clinical studies.
Kovaltry does not contain von Willebrand factor.
Pharmacodynamic effectsThe activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) is prolonged in people with haemophilia.
Determination of aPTT is a conventional in vitro assay for biological activity of factor VIII. Treatmentwith rFVIII normalizes the aPTT similar to that achieved with plasma-derived factor VIII.
Clinical efficacy and safetyControl and Prevention of Bleeding
Two multi-centre, open-label, cross-over, uncontrolled, randomised studies in previously treatedadults/adolescents with severe haemophilia A (< 1%) and one multi-centre, open-label, uncontrolledstudy in PTPs < 12 years of age (Part A) and PUPs/MTPs <6 years of age (Part B) with severehaemophilia A were conducted.
A total of 247 subjects (204 PTPs and 43 PUPs/MTPs) have been exposed in the clinical trial program,153 subjects ≥ 12 years and 94 subjects < 12 years. Two-hundred and eight (208) subjects (174 PTPs,34 PUPs/MTPs) were treated for at least 360 days, and 98 of these subjects (78 PTPs, 20 PUPs/MTPs)for at least 720 days.
Paediatric population <12 years
Part A: The paediatric trial enrolled 51 PTPs with severe haemophilia A, 26 subjects in the age group6-12 years and 25 subjects in the age group <6 years having accumulated a median number of 73 EDs(range: 37 to 103 EDs). Subjects were treated with 2 or 3 injections per week or up to every other day ata dose of 25 to 50 IU/kg. Consumption for prophylaxis and treatment of bleeds, annualised bleed ratesand success rate for bleed treatment are presented in Table 3.
Part B: A total of 43 PUPs/MTPs were enrolled and accumulated a median of 46 EDs(range 1 to 55 EDs). The median dose for treatment of bleeds in all PUPs/MTPs was 40.5 IU/kg and78.1% of the bleeds were successfully treated with ≤ 2 infusions.
The most frequently reported adverse reaction in PUPs/MTPs was Factor VIII inhibitor (seesection 4.8). FVIII inhibitors were detected in 23 of 42 patients with a median (range) of 9 (4 - 42)
EDs at the time of the first positive inhibitor test. Of these, 6 patients had low-titre inhibitors (≤ 5.0
BU) and 17 patients had high-titre inhibitors.
Extension: Of the 94 treated subjects, 82 subjects entered the Leopold Kids extension study,79 patients received treatment with Kovaltry and 67 patients received Kovaltry as prophylaxistreatment. The median time in the extension study was 3.1 years (range 0.3 to 6.4 years), the mediantotal time in entire study (main plus extension study) was 3.8 years (range 0.8 to 6.7 years).
During the extension study, 67 of 82 subjects received Kovaltry as prophylaxis treatment. Amongstthe 67 subjects, a total of 472 bleeds were treated with Kovaltry, requiring 1-2 infusions for themajority of bleeds (83.5%), and response to treatment was good or excellent in most (87.9%) of thecases.
Immune Tolerance Induction (ITI)
Data on ITI has been collected in patients with haemophilia A. 11 subjects with high titer inhibitorsreceived ITI with various treatment regimens of three times per week up to twice daily. 5 subjectscompleted ITI with a negative inhibitor result at the end of the study, and 1 subject had a low titer (1.2
BU/mL) at time of discontinuation.

5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties
The pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of Kovaltry was evaluated in PTPs with severe haemophilia Afollowing 50 IU/kg in 21 subjects ≥ 18 years, 5 subjects ≥ 12 years and < 18 years and 19 subjects< 12 years of age.
A population PK model was developed based on all available factor VIII measurements (from dense
PK sampling and all recovery samples) throughout the 3 clinical studies allowing calculation of PKparameters for subjects in the various studies. The table 4 below provides PK parameters based on thepopulation PK model.

* Based on population PK estimates
**AUC calculated for a dose of 50 IU/kg
Repeated PK measurements after 6 to 12 months of prophylaxis treatment with Kovaltry did notindicate any relevant changes in PK characteristics after long-term treatment.
In an international study involving 41 clinical laboratories, the performance of Kovaltry in FVIII:Cassays was evaluated and compared to a marketed full length rFVIII product. Consistent results weredetermined for both products. The FVIII:C of Kovaltry can be measured in plasma with a one-stagecoagulation assay as well as with a chromogenic assay using the routine methods of the laboratory.
The analysis of all recorded incremental recoveries in previously treated patients demonstrated amedian rise of > 2% (> 2 IU/dL) per IU/kg body weight for Kovaltry. This result is similar to thereported values for factor VIII derived from human plasma. There was no relevant change over the6-12 months treatment period.

5.3 Preclinical safety data
Non-clinical data reveal no special risk for humans based on safety pharmacology, in vitrogenotoxicity, and short term repeat-dose toxicity studies. Repeat-dose toxicity studies longer than5 days, reproductive toxicity studies, and carcinogenicity studies, have not been performed. Suchstudies are not considered meaningful due to the production of antibodies against the heterologoushuman protein in animals. Also factor VIII is an intrinsic protein and not known to cause anyreproductive or carcinogenic effects.
