Personalised pharmacokinetics (PK) using Bayesian analysis with limited sampling is assumed to help to optimise prophylaxis in haemophilia A (HA) patients. Our prospective, observational study analysed the influence of PK parameters on clinical variables (bleeding rates, joint status, adherence, and consumption) using myPKFiT® in a cohort of twenty-one severe and moderate HA patients on prophylaxis with recombinant FVIII (Advate®) in two periods of one year, the first before PK-based tailoring and the second after PK-guided prophylaxis. Intra-individual and inter-individual coefficients of variation (CV) of half-life (t1/2) were calculated. A total of 73 PK estimations were performed in both periods, resulting in 17.2% inter-individual CV in mean t1/2, and 4.9% intra-individual CV. Before PK-based tailoring a significant association between joint bleeds and t1/2 was found (P = 0.010), especially in patients with short t1/2. This finding was reproduced (P = 0.013) after withdrawal of two patients with bleeding phenotype related to their advanced arthropathy but normal t1/2 and trough levels. Patients with joint bleeds weighed less (P = 0.039) and required higher doses (P = 0.032) than patients with zero joint bleeds. These associations were not observed in the second period after the adoption of PK-guided prophylaxis. There were no differences between the two periods, although a tendency to fewer spontaneous bleeds was suggested after PK-based tailoring. PK-guided prophylaxis facilitates an adequate level of bleeding control in patients with HA, maintaining clinical variables and patient convenience in an integrative manner, without increasing FVIII consumption.

D005169 Factor VIII Factor VIII of blood coagulation. Antihemophilic factor that is part of the factor VIII/von Willebrand factor complex. Factor VIII is produced in the liver and acts in the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. It serves as a cofactor in factor X activation and this action is markedly enhanced by small amounts of thrombin.
