PG - 113-122 LID - 10.2147/JBM.S425617 [doi] AB - INTRODUCTION: Purified factor IX (FIX) concentrate (IMMUNINE((R)), Takeda Manufacturing Austria AG, Vienna, Austria) is indicated for the treatment and prophylaxis of bleeding episodes in patients with congenital hemophilia B. Data on the use of purified FIX concentrate in patients /=50 exposure days, whichever occurred first. The primary endpoints were the occurrence of treatment-related adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs (SAEs), and inhibitor development. RESULTS: Thirteen male patients (mean +/- standard deviation age, 3.80 +/- 1.76 years) enrolled and received >/=1 treatment with purified FIX concentrate. Thirty-two AEs were reported in 6 patients; 4 were SAEs. No AEs were considered related to purified FIX concentrate. No patients developed inhibitory antibodies. Inhibitor testing was not conducted in 2 patients. Eighteen bleeding episodes were treated with purified FIX concentrate in 6 patients. Hemostatic efficacy was rated as either "excellent" or "good" in all patients with an available rating. CONCLUSION: No treatment-related AEs were reported, and purified FIX concentrate was shown to be effective in treating and preventing bleeding episodes in pediatric patients
