Routine prophylaxis treatment in a prefilled, subcutaneous pen to prevent or reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes in adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older who have hemophilia B and A with or without inhibitors

Treatment individualization
to optimize dosing1

Alhemo® is the only TFPI antagonist that offers an FDA-authorized test to measure drug levels

See the dosing tool   
Hand holding Alhemo® pen
Day 1

  DAY 1

One-time loading dose is 1 mg/kg

Day 1

  DAY 2+

Once-daily dose is 0.2 mg/kg (until optimized dose determined)

Day 1

  DAY 28

(4 weeks after initiation of Alhemo®)

Administer Concizumab ELISA

  • Advise patients to administer Alhemo® after ELISA blood draw on day of the test
  • Results reported within 10 working days
Dose adjustment, if needed, no later than 8 weeks after treatment initiation

When else should patients be tested?

Tests should be taken at routine clinical follow-ups, provided the patient has been on the same maintenance dose for 8 weeks of treatment to ensure steady-state plasma concentration.1,a

Adherence to daily dosing of Alhemo® is important to maintain protection against bleeding. This is especially important during the initial 4 weeks of treatment to ensure a correct maintenance dose is established.

For dose optimization, measure concizumab-mtci plasma concentration by Concizumab ELISA using an FDA-authorized test.

aIf concizumab-mtci plasma concentration remains below 200 ng/mL at two consecutive measurements, evaluate the benefits of continued Alhemo® treatment versus the potential risk of bleeding events, and consider alternative therapies, if available.

ELISA=Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay; TFPI=tissue factor pathway inhibitor.


Dosing adjustments

After the 28-day Concizumab ELISA results, adjust dosing based on concizumab-mtci plasma concentration1

Dose adjustments chart Dose adjustments chart

In the explorer7 trial, a total of 108 patients with inhibitors received their individualized dose: 1% adjusted to 0.15 mg/kg/day, 73% continued on 0.2 mg/kg/day, and 26% were adjusted to 0.25 mg/kg/day.

In the explorer 8 trial, a total of 138 patients with HA or HB received their individualized dose: 7% adjusted to the 0.15 mg/kg/day, 67% continued on 0.20 mg/kg/day, and 25% were adjusted to the 0.25 mg/kg/day.

Needles sold separately and may require a prescription in some states.
ELISA=Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay.

When changing to Alhemo® from other hemostatic products1:

Discontinue treatment

  • with rFVIIa at least 12 hours before starting Alhemo®
  • with aPCC at least 48 hours before starting Alhemo®
  • with standard half-life FVIII or FIX at least 24 hours before starting Alhemo®
  • Consider half-life of the previous product

HCPs should discuss with patients receiving Alhemo® and/or their caregivers the dose and schedule of BPAs, FVIII, or FIX, if required, while receiving Alhemo® prophylaxis.

aPCC=activated prothrombin complex concentrate; BPA=bypassing agent; FIX=Factor IX; FVIII=Factor VIII; HCP=healthcare provider; HCP=healthcare provider; rFVIIa=recombinant activated factor VIIa.

Guidance for Missed Doses

Adherence to daily dosing of Alhemo® is important to maintain protection against bleeding. This is especially important during the initial 4 weeks of treatment to ensure a correct maintenance dose is established. Patients who miss a dose during the initial 4-week period should inform their healthcare professional and resume once-daily dosing at the initial 0.2 mg/kg dose level.

The following dosing guidelines should apply ONLY when a patient has forgotten to or neglected to take their once-daily maintenance dose.

Once the maintenance dose has been established1:

1 missed dose:

Resume once-daily treatment at the maintenance dose level

2 to 6 missed doses:

Resume treatment with a double dose followed by once-daily treatment at the maintenance dose level

7 or more missed doses:

Physician should be contacted, and a new loading dose should be considered

Important Safety Information for Alhemo®

Contraindications

  • Alhemo® is contraindicated in patients with a history of known serious hypersensitivity to Alhemo® or its ingredients

Warnings and Precautions

  • Thromboembolic Events (TEs): Venous and arterial TEs were reported in 1.9% of patients (6/320) who also had multiple risk factors, including the use of high doses or prolonged treatment with factor product or bypassing agent (2 of 6 patients). Risk factors for TEs may also include conditions in which tissue factor is overexpressed (eg, atherosclerotic disease, crush injury, cancer, disseminated intravascular coagulation, thrombotic microangiopathy, or septicemia). Inform patients about and monitor them for signs and symptoms of TEs. In case of suspicion of TEs, discontinue Alhemo® and initiate further investigations and management strategies
  • Hypersensitivity Reactions: Alhemo® is contraindicated in patients with a history of known serious hypersensitivity to Alhemo® or its ingredients. Hypersensitivity reactions, including erythema, rash, pruritus, and abdominal pain, have occurred in patients treated with Alhemo®. One patient (<1%) experienced anaphylaxis, which resolved after treatment with antihistamines and corticosteroids. Instruct patients of the signs of acute hypersensitivity reactions and to contact their healthcare provider for mild reactions and to seek urgent medical attention for moderate to severe reactions. Discontinue Alhemo® if severe hypersensitivity symptoms occur and initiate medical management
  • Increased Laboratory Values of Fibrin D-dimer and Prothrombin Fragment 1.2: Increased levels of fibrin D-dimer and prothrombin fragment 1.2 were seen in 29 (9.1%) and 26 (8.1%) patients, respectively, which is positively correlated with the plasma concentration of concizumab-mtci, indicating a hemostatic effect. For patients taking Alhemo®, these coagulation biomarkers may not be reliable predictive markers for clinical decision-making with suspicion of thrombosis, such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism

Adverse Reactions

  • The most frequently reported adverse reactions (≥5%) were injection site reactions, headache, and urticaria
  • Serious adverse reactions were reported in 6.1% of patients with inhibitors who received Alhemo®. Permanent discontinuation of Alhemo® occurred in 1 patient due to a renal infarct and dosage interruptions of Alhemo® occurred in 1 patient (3%) and was a hypersensitivity reaction

Drug Interactions

  • Breakthrough Bleeding Treatment: Take appropriate precautions when treating breakthrough bleeding events in patients receiving Alhemo® prophylaxis and FVIII or FIX or a bypassing agent (eg, rFVIIa or aPCC). For mild and moderate bleeds, the lowest approved dose in the approved product labeling is recommended. For aPCC, a maximum dose of 100 units/kg within 24 hours is recommended. For severe bleeds, follow the dosing instructions in the approved labeling based on clinical judgment
