Abstract
Introduction: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare disease caused by deficient tissue-non-specific alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. Asfotase alfa is a tissue-non-specific ALP enzyme-replacement therapy which was reimbursed in the UK under a Managed Access Agreement (MAA). This analysis assessed safety and effectiveness of asfotase alfa in adults with HPP.
Methods: This prospective, observational data collection included adults with paediatric-onset HPP enroled in the MAA and treated with asfotase alfa for ≥ 6 months to 5 years. Assessments included mobility, pain, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), each reported at regular intervals through year 3. Analgesic use, fractures, and events of interest (EOIs) were each reported continuously throughout follow-up.
Results: Of 28 enroled treated adults, 24 were assessed for effectiveness. Distance walked in the 6-Minute Walk Test was median (min, max) 172.5 m (0.0, 380.0; n = 24) at baseline and improved by 157.3 m (- 171.0, 479.5; n = 16) at month 6; results were sustained throughout follow-up. Median (min, max) Bleck score was 6.0 (2.0, 9.0; n = 24) at baseline and increased to 6.5 (5.0, 9.0; n = 10) at month 36. Median (min, max) aggregate Brief Pain Inventory Short Form severity score was 8.0 (4.3, 10.0; n = 24) at baseline and improved to 4.4 (1.0, 7.8; n = 10) at month 36. During follow-up, 8 participants (33.3%) decreased or discontinued opioid use throughout follow-up and 4 (16.7%) reported fractures. Median (min, max) EQ-5D-3L utility scores improved from 0.21 (- 0.26, 0.60; n = 24) at baseline by 0.15 (- 0.36, 0.91; n = 24) at month 6 and were similar throughout follow-up. Injection site reactions were the most common treatment-related EOI, reported in 17 participants (60.7%). Three participants reported treatment-related serious adverse events.
Conclusion: Asfotase alfa treatment improved mobility, physical function, pain, and HRQoL and was well tolerated. These data show the benefit of asfotase alfa in adults with paediatric-onset HPP.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all therapeutic areas. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Advances in Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
