Brief summary

The goal of this non-randomized, multi-center study in subjects with severe hereditary haemophilia B was to determine and compare the pharmacokinetic and safety profiles of BeneFIX in subjects having had 2 prior pharmacokinetic assessments with AlphaNine.

Detailed description

Two pharmacokinetic assessments (studies) were carried out in the same subjects during a previous clinical trial. The first pharmacokinetic study (PK1) was performed after a single dose of AlphaNine. The second pharmacokinetic study (PK2) was performed following 26 Weeks of AlphaNine treatment after PK1. To compare AlphaNine with BeneFIX, a third pharmacokinetic study (PK3) (current study) was performed after a single dose of BeneFIX administered following a 7- to 15-day wash-out period. The main objective of the PK3 study was to assess the pharmacokinetic profile of BeneFIX and compare to the pharmacokinetic profile of AlphaNine from the PK2 study.

Interventions

BeneFIX is a recombinant FIX that contains nonacog alfa, reconstituted in solvent and administered as a single dose of 65-75 IU/kg.
