abstract

  • AbstractIntroductionWeb‐Accessible Population–Pharmacokinetic Service–Haemophilia (WAPPS‐Hemo) data are available to study factor‐concentrate usage, defined as the required weekly dose to achieve a 3% trough (WD3T), across standard and extended half‐life (SHL/EHL) products.AimTo provide baseline usage data including (i) differences across plasma‐derived (pdSHL) versus recombinant (rSHL) products, (ii) SHL versus EHL, and (iii) effect of age and positive inhibitor history.MethodsPK profiles (n = 14,416 patients, 0.3–85.2 years) and linear mixed effects models were used to estimate usage versus age, controlling for significant factors, using 95% confidence intervals to perform comparisons across all ages and posthoc tests to assess the differences.ResultsAverage usage was significantly higher for pdSHL versus rSHL in patients with a positive inhibitor history (PIH; 1.9–2.5 times higher), for SHL versus EHL (4–10 times), and was significantly associated with age.ConclusionBaseline usage patterns from 2017 to early 2023 provide a benchmark for assessing the impact of emerging technologies in haemophilia.
