Brief Summary:
This study will examine the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of rIX-FP for the control and prevention of bleeding episodes in subjects who have previously received factor replacement therapy for hemophilia B.

Actual Enrollment : 63 participants
Allocation: Non-Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A Phase II/III Open-label, Multicenter, Safety and Efficacy Study of a Recombinant Coagulation Factor IX Albumin Fusion Protein (rIX-FP) in Subjects With Hemophilia B
Study Start Date : February 2012
Actual Primary Completion Date : July 2014


Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Prophylaxis

Routine weekly prophylaxis and episodic treatment for bleeding episodes. An individualized dosing interval may be tested in sub-group subjects during the 2nd part of the trial.

Subjects may participate in a surgical 'sub-study' in which rIX-FP may be administered prior to, during and after surgical intervention.

Biological: rIX-FP
Recombinant IX-FP (rIX-FP) is a fusion protein linking coagulation factor IX with albumin, and will be administered by intravenous administration

Experimental: On-demand
Episodic treatment for bleeding episodes during the first 6 months then switch to routine weekly prophylaxis for a further 6 months Subjects may participate in a surgical 'sub-study' in which rIX-FP may be administered prior to, during and after surgical intervention.
Biological: rIX-FP
Recombinant IX-FP (rIX-FP) is a fusion protein linking coagulation factor IX with albumin, and will be administered by intravenous administration




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in Frequency of Spontaneous Bleeding Events Between On-demand and Prophylaxis Treatments (Annualized) [ Time Frame: Up to 26 weeks for on-demand regimen, and between 1 and 17 months for prophylaxis regimen. ]
    Subjects in the on-demand arm received on-demand dosing with rIX-FP for up to 26 weeks (on-demand regimen), and then received weekly prophylaxis with rIX-FP for the remainder of the study (prophylaxis regimen). The effectiveness of prophylaxis in comparison to on-demand therapy was investigated by comparing the same subject's annualized spontaneous bleeding rate (AsBR) during the on-demand regimen and during the prophylaxis regimen.

  2. Number of Subjects Developing Inhibitors Against Factor IX (FIX) [ Time Frame: Up to 27.7 months (maximum) ]
    The number of participants developing inhibitors against factor IX (FIX) along with the 95% Clopper-Pearson confidence interval, are summarized for subjects with 50 or more exposure days (EDs) to rIX-FP, and for all participants in the study.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. The Frequency of Related Adverse Events [ Time Frame: For the duration of the study; median 20.27 months. ]
    The percentage of participants experiencing treatment-related adverse-events (TEAEs).

  2. Number of Subjects Developing Antibodies Against rIX-FP [ Time Frame: For the duration of the study; median 20.27 months. ]
  3. Proportion of Bleeding Episodes Requiring One or ≤ Two Injections of rIX-FP to Achieve Hemostasis [ Time Frame: For the duration of the study; median 20.27 months. ]
    Number of injections required to achieve hemostasis expressed as a percentage of the bleeding episodes requiring treatment.

  4. Investigator's Overall Clinical Assessment of Hemostatic Efficacy for Treatment of Bleeding Episodes, Based on a Four Point Ordinal Scales (Excellent, Good, Moderate, Poor/No Response) [ Time Frame: For the duration of the study; median 20.27 months ]
    Number of bleeding episodes requiring treatment that resulted in hemostatic efficacy of excellent, good, moderate, poor/no response, according to the Investigator's clinical assessment of hemostatic efficacy, expressed as a percentage of the bleeding episodes requiring treatment.

  5. rIX-FP Consumed Per Month While Maintaining Assigned Prophylactic Treatment Interval During Routine Prophylaxis. [ Time Frame: Median 269, 240, 386 and 316 days, respectively (see Description) ]
    Time frame: For Prophylaxis Arm 7-, 10- and 14-day regimens, median 269, 240 and 386 days respectively. For On-demand Arm, prophylaxis regimen, median 316 days.

  6. Incremental Recovery of rIX-FP [ Time Frame: 336 hours ]
    Pharmacokinetic (PK) data are presented for a single 50 IU/kg dose of rIX-FP.

  7. Half-life (t1/2) of a Single Dose of rIX-FP [ Time Frame: 336 hours ]
    PK data are presented for a single 50 IU/kg dose of rIX-FP.

  8. Area Under the Curve (AUC) [ Time Frame: 336 hours ]
    AUC to the last sample with quantifiable drug concentration (AUClast) of a single dose of rIX-FP. PK data are presented for a single 50 IU/kg dose of rIX-FP.

  9. Clearance of a Single Dose of rIX-FP [ Time Frame: 336 hours ]
    PK data are presented for a single 50 IU/kg dose of rIX-FP.

  10. Investigator's (or Surgeon's) Overall Clinical Assessment of Hemostatic Efficacy for Surgical Prophylaxis, Based on a Four Point Ordinal Scale (Excellent, Good, Moderate, Poor/No Response) [ Time Frame: Up to 14 days after surgery ]
    Number of surgical events treated prophylactically with rIX-FP that resulted in hemostatic efficacy of excellent, good, moderate, poor/no response, according to the Investigator's (surgeon's) overall assessment of hemostatic efficacy for surgical prophylaxis.

  11. Annualized Spontaneous Bleeding Events Compared Between 7 Day Prophylactic and Extended Regimens [ Time Frame: During treatment, between median 240 and 386 days per subject. ]
    Median number of spontaneous bleeds per year per subject comparing 7-, 10- and 14- day prophylactic regimens.
