EMICARE: UPLC-MS/MS Monitoring of Emicizumab Therapy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Emicizumab is a monoclonal bispecific antibody with a terminal half-life of 28 days which is now licensed in the treatment of severe haemophilia A with or without inhibitors. Some heterogeneity in residual emicizumab concentrations have been reported according to age, body mass index or drug therapeutic regimen. Some cases of neutralizing antidrug antibodies have been also reported. Whether monitoring emicizumab plasma concentration could predict the residual bleeding risk under emicizumab is unknown. As conventional coagulation assays are not adapted for emicizumab monitoring, this study aims to assess the value of monitoring residual emicizumab plasma concentration by UPLC-MS/MS in bleeding risk prediction.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Area under the curve ROC of Residual plasma level of emicizumab [At Week 5 (end of emicizumab loading period)]
At least one clinically significant bleeding (defined as any bleeding treated with FVIII, rFVIIa or aPCC) from loading period completion (week 5) to the end of study, an average of 1 year
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Residual plasma level of emicizumab measured by UPLC-MS/MS [At Week 5 (end of emicizumab loading period)]
At least one hemarthrosis from loading period completion (week 5) to the end of study, an average of 1 year
- Residual plasma level of emicizumab measured by UPLC-MS/MS [At each breakthrough bleeding until end of study]
Post-traumatic or spontaneous nature of bleeding event
- Residual plasma level of emicizumab (UPLC-MS/MS dosing) [At Week 5 and at each breakthrough bleeding until end of study]
Emicizumab FVIII-like activity (chromogenic FVIII BIOPHEN™assay system with emicizumab calibration)
