1. We expect to find that the silent cerebral infarct (SCI) rate is two fold higher in patients treated without caplacizumab. We also expect to find that the rate of mild and major cognitive impairment in patients treated with caplacizumab within 3 days of starting plasma exchange will be lower than patients treated without caplacizumab.
2. We expect that the differences in cognitive impairment in cases (caplacizumab) versus controls (no caplacizumab) will persist on serial evaluation 1 year later. We also expect that there will be differences in these groups even after adjusting for time since episode and severity of presentation.
3. We expect to find that SCI and cognitive impairment is associated with worse scores on the health related quality of life instrument (SF-36)
4. Based on studies in non-TTP populations, we expect to find that the rate of incident stroke over the period of follow up is at least 2 fold higher in patients that have SCI compared with patients who do not have SCI

Platelet Response to Caplacizumab in the Treatment of Acquired Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

The interpretation of platelet counts has to be revaluated in the light of caplacizumab. By effectively blocking platelet binding sites on VWF-multimers, the nanobody leads to a rapid normalization of the platelet count within 3 to 4 days. Most importantly, caplacizumab uncouples platelet counts from ADAMTS13 activity and thereby launches unprecedented thrombocyte dynamics, with potential pitfalls for over- and undertreatment.
A relevant number of patients responds to caplacizumab with a brisk increase in platelet count, followed by a marked dip of platelets (patient on the left). This may mislead treating physicians into re-intensifying therapy, with a respective risk for adverse side-effects and complications. Taken together, these observations call for reliable descriptions and the identification of predictive parameters to predict the platelet response upon administration of caplacizumab in a large patient cohort. Here, PREDICT-2020 is designed as a retrospective study to specifically address the following aspects:
Identifying and describing clusters of platelet responses to caplacizumab
Identifying potential pitfalls for treating physicians
Predicting the individual thrombocyte response
Correlating platelet responses with individual patient outcome

Successful Treatment of Acquired Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura With Caplacizumab Combined With Plasma Exchanges and Immune Suppression in 3 Children

Article

Author: Maschan, Alexey A ; Kalinina, Irina I ; Avdonin, Pavel V ; Kotskaya, Natalia N ; Klebanova, Elizaveta E ; Kurnikova, Elena E ; Antonova, Khristina S ; Shutova, Alexandra D ; Matveev, Victor E

Acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic (aTTP) purpura is a life-threatening condition that can lead to devastating thromboembolic events. Recently, caplacizumab has been shown to rapidly restore platelet numbers and reduce the risk of severe end-organ damage when added to plasma exchanges (PEXs) and immunosuppression (IST). Here, we report the outcomes in 3 children with aTTP who were treated with caplacizumab in combination with PEXs and IST. In all 3 patients, platelet count increased to >15,000/mm3 in 24 h and normalized on day 4, whereas normalization of ADAMTS13 activity >50% and elimination of the inhibitor was achieved after 18 to 89 days. Epistaxis was observed in 2 patients and was the only side effect related to caplacizumab. Caplacizumab is a promising agent for first-line treatment of children with aTTP.

Alemtuzumab‐induced immune‐mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura: A newly described drug‐related autoimmune disease

Article

Author: Coppo, P ; Anguel, N ; Labeyrie, C ; Joly, B ; Bourdin, V ; Fossé, Q ; Lambotte, O

SummaryImmune‐mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a rare and life‐threatening disease that may result from drug exposure. We report a case of iTTP occurring in a 39‐year‐old patient, 45 months following introduction of the anti‐CD52 lymphoid cell depleting monoclonal antibody alemtuzumab, to treat a relapsing‐remitting multiple sclerosis. Treatment consisted in plasma exchange, corticosteroids and caplacizumab, allowing clinical remission 3 months after the diagnosis, attested by the absence of thrombocytopenia and recovery of ADAMTS‐13 activity. As other autoimmune disorders, iTTP may occur following alemtuzumab. This diagnosis should be suspected in patients with features of thrombotic microangiopathy following this treatment.

Should we consider caplacizumab as routine treatment for acute thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura? An expert perspective on the pros and cons

Review

Author: Mingot Castellano, María Eva ; Izquierdo, Cristina Pascual ; Seguí, Inés Gómez ; de la Rubia, Javier

INTRODUCTIONImmune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a rare and life-threatening disorder. Caplacizumab has been the latest drug incorporated into the initial treatment of acute episodes, allowing for faster platelet recovery and a decrease in refractoriness, exacerbation, thromboembolic events, and mortality. However, caplacizumab is also associated with a bleeding risk and higher treatment costs, which prevent many centers from using it universally.AREAS COVEREDStudies that included iTTP and/or caplacizumab to date were selected for this review using PubMed and MEDLINE platforms. We describe outcomes in the pre-caplacizumab era and after it, highlighting the benefits and risks of its use early in frontline, and also pointing out special situations that require careful management.EXPERT OPINIONIt is clear that the availability of caplacizumab has significantly and favorably impacted the management of iTTP patients. Whether this improvement is cost-effective still remains uncertain, and data on long-term sequelae and different healthcare systems will help to clarify this point. In addition, evidence of the bleeding/thrombotic risk of iTTP patients under this drug needs to be better addressed in future studies.

Sanofi offers refunds for Cablivi in novel model for rebates

Credit: Getty Images/ IronHeart On January 18, Sanofi launched a new warranty program for its rare blood disorder drug Cablivi (caplacizumab), which tackles value-based agreements in a slightly different way. The program follows the lead of Pfizer’s warranty programs for Panzyga (immune globulin intravenous) and Xalkori (crizotinib), as pharma continues to explore new types of risk sharing agreements. In 2019, Cablivi became the first FDA-approved , nanobody-based medicine for acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP), an ultra-orphan condition that causes blood clots in small blood vessels around the body. The disorder has a reported annual incidence between 1.5 and 6.0 cases per million in Europe. Dr. James George, a research professor at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, said Cablivi “adds a new aspect to treatment, the prompt recovery of platelets and prompt resolution of transient neurologic symptoms”. In an email to Pharmaceutical Technology , he further described the therapy as “the most important advance for treatment of TTP since the documentation of effectiveness of plasma exchange in 1991”. Before Cablivi’s approval, patients relied on a combination of plasma exchange plus corticosteroids and immunomodulators as the standard of care (SOC) for treatment. Cablivi stops platelets from clumping together, which prevents small clots, and can be used along with other drugs that suppress the immune system. Sanofi ’s eligibility requirements follow a similar model to Pfizer ’s previous programs, with refunds being dependent on lack of clinical outcome in patients. Sanofi’s new warranty program offers institutions a refund for the cost of six doses of a treatment if it is not effective. Any refunds will consider the cheaper option between wholesale acquisition cost (WAC) or actual acquisition cost. Currently, Cablivi’s WAC is $7,300 per single-dose vial kit. A refund up to 12 inpatient doses will also be offered for patients whose disease worsens while receiving treatment. The drug ranks highly for its cost, with a price of $270,000 before rebates and discounts to treat a typical episode of aTTP. Jakub Hlávka, PhD, the executive director of the Healthcare Markets Initiative and Fellow at the University of Southern California Schaeffer Center, suggests the strategy behind this new warranty program could “minimise the [financial and clinical] risk for the provider and for the patient”. Other companies like BioMarin have already announced an intention to offer an outcomes-based warranty program for its hemophilia A drug Roctavian (valoctocogene roxaparvovec). Sanofi’s warranty program According to Hlávka, a warranty program addresses common concerns of unresponsiveness and exacerbation of disease that appear when dealing with highly innovative treatments. With these therapies, there is the possibility of there being no clinical benefit and an emergence of adverse events. Hlávka says healthcare providers often ask, “Should we only pay for some of the patients? Do we know how to identify the right patients?” Consequently, Sanofi may be trying to increase the potential pool of patients who can get initiated on the treatment, and they can deal with the financial consequences later, he adds. As the drug is so expensive, Hlávka proposes that if the warranty program was not offered, the likelihood that patients would get access would be lower. However, Sanofi’s agreement is particularly unique in the way that it measures outcomes. Unlike other contracts, a refund for Cablivi depends on individual clinical outcomes compared to more commonly used population-based outcomes. The documents outline that a refund can only be given if the patient “experiences a platelet count of less than 50 x 10 9 /L, after four days of combined treatment with Cablivi, therapeutic plasma exchange and immunosuppressive therapy” or if a patient experiences “a new drop in platelet count after initial platelet count normalisation (>150 x 10 9 /L), necessitating re‑initiation of therapeutic plasma exchange after having ruled out any causes for the drop in platelet count other than aTTP pathophysiology”. Hlávka explains that this approach makes sense with such a highly expensive drug for rare diseases, as the burden of collecting and recording individual patient outcomes is only possible when dealing with a smaller patient population. “It strikes me as one of the more transparent ways of dealing with the uncertainties that are involved in these highly complicated therapies,” says Hlávka. However, Andrew Cournoyer, Senior Vice President of PRECISIONvalue, said this may make the process slightly more arduous for patients and physicians. “To qualify for a warranty reimbursement, there are three forms that must be filled out and specifically asks for multiple lab values to demonstrate patient response,” he said in an email to Pharmaceutical Technology . “In some regards this can be an obstacle for participation due to the paperwork involved. However, it is consistent in regards that it simply seeks provider attestation opposed to actual documentation,” he added. Designing risk sharing agreements Overall however, this warranty program is similar to previous performance-based risk sharing agreements, says Alex Watt, principal research analyst on GlobalData’s Price Intelligence team. GlobalData is the parent company of Pharmaceutical Technology. The Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) defines risk sharing agreements as “an arrangement between a manufacturer and payer/provider that enables access to (coverage/reimbursement of) a health technology subject to specified conditions”. In 2022, the number of risk sharing agreements peaked with 144 agreements being made in the pharmaceutical industry. Over the last few years, as price tags for drugs have continuously increased, the popularity of risk sharing agreements has been increasing at a rate of 24% annual average growth. According to analysis of GlobalData’s PharmOnline (POLI) database, “the ease of finance-based arrangements has led to an overwhelming 79% of agreements being finance-based, ranging from simple discounts to more complex financial arrangements”. Watt says that amongst these finance-based arrangements, the majority are made up by discount schemes, whether compulsory discounts or other types of price negotiations, in order for high-cost/high-innovative drugs to gain access to critical markets. Cournoyer explained that warranty programs allow drug manufacturers to use real-world data to assess whether a drug’s outcomes are worth its costs, and to “put their money where their mouth is”. With shifts in reimbursement that focus on value (as defined by health outcomes and resource use) versus fee-for-service, innovative contracts such as warranties carry more interest, he adds. However, obstacles still remain. Cournoyer highlighted that competitor products with long histories, guideline backing, and provider loyalty still pose a challenge for pharmaceutical companies testing innovative contracts. Furthermore, he said extracting data to validate the criteria for a warranty reimbursement could be an onerous process. Also, the process to actually apply for reimbursement could be similarly difficult. “Payers, providers, and patients will recognise that drug manufacturers need to protect themselves from fraudulent requests, but these steps can be rate-limiting steps to broader adoption,” said Cournoyer. Despite these challenges, Watt predicts that warranty programs could be one of many unique ways to approach risk sharing agreements differently in the coming years. In a report on risk sharing agreements, the authors outlined that, “based on the small number of countries partaking in [risk sharing agreements], there is room to expand so risk-sharing deals can continue to grow and develop their framework in new countries.” Pharma is experimenting with drug warranty programs Comparison of drug warranty programs from major pharmaceutical companies Drug Company Indication Maximum Refund Amount Time limit Number of forms to fill Cablivi Sanofi Acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP) $50,000 90 days 5 Panzyga Pfizer Primary humoral immunodeficiency $50,000 180 days 4 Xalkori Pfizer Metastatic non small cell lung cancer $58,827 120 days 3 Source: Public Information

Sanofi to present new clinical data reinforcing novel therapies across rare blood disorders at ASH 2022

Sanofi to present new clinical data reinforcing novel therapies across rare blood disorders at ASH 2022 Quality of life data for efanesoctocog alfa supports its potential as a transformative, best-in-class therapy for hemophilia A Data across hemophilia A, hemophilia B, cold agglutinin disease (CAD), and other conditions featured in 16 presentations Paris , November 30 , 2022 . Data from across Sanofi’s rare blood disorders franchise will be featured in 16 presentations at the 64 th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting & Exposition from December 10-13, 2022. Karin Knobe, MD , PhD Global Head of Clinical Development for Rare Diseases and Rare Blood Disorders at Sanofi “ The Phase 3 results presented at ASH across hemophilia and cold agglutinin disease underscore our ambition to launch four rare blood disorder therapies in four years. We started this year strong and look forward to c arrying th is momentum into 2023 and beyond, with potential treatment advancements we hope will help transform the lives of people living with rare blood disorders . ” Quality of life data from the pivotal XTEND-1 Phase 3 study will be presented at ASH evaluating the effect of investigational therapy efanesoctocog alfa on pain and physical functioning for people with hemophilia A. These findings build on key results that were first presented at the 30th International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) Congress. Data from the XTEND-1 study supported the biologics licence application (BLA) for efanesoctocog alfa, which is currently under FDA priority review with a target action date of February 28, 2023. New data to be presented from the ATLAS program for fitusiran, an investigational therapy for the prophylactic treatment of people with hemophilia A or B, with or without inhibitors, will showcase for the first time the hemostatic equivalency of antithrombin lowering in hemophilia A. Hemostatic equivalency is used to better understand how non-factor therapies, such as fitusiran, can help correct the clotting defect in hemophilia. Fitusiran is designed to work by targeting antithrombin, a protein that helps maintain hemostatic balance. Additional fitusiran data will exhibit improvements in health-related quality of life with reduced treatment burden. Qualitative data will outline treatment expectations for people with hemophilia to live an active lifestyle. In an oral presentation, results from the CADENZA phase 3 study, which supported a supplemental BLA currently under FDA priority review for Enjaymo ® (sutimlimab-jome), will review the effect of Enjaymo on patient-reported outcomes and quality of life. Presentations will also report long-term clinical data from the CADENZA study as well as information on the COVID-19 vaccine response among people living with cold agglutinin disease (CAD) being treated with Enjaymo. Data from the pivotal CADENZA and CARDINAL Phase 3 studies recently supported the European Commission approval of Enjaymo. Additional presentations at ASH will highlight other rare blood disorders. Two posters will explore the prevalence and burden of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), including cognitive impairment. Data evaluating the response to rilzabrutinib, an investigational therapy, when used as an early treatment option for ITP patients will also be shown. Presentations on acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP) include an analysis of the HERCULES Phase 3 study and a presentation of the MAYARI study design that will assess the efficacy and safety profile of Cablivi ® (caplacizumab-yhdp) without plasma exchange in an investigational setting. Cablivi is approved in several geographies in combination with plasma exchange and immunosuppression for the treatment of aTTP in adults.

It builds on the innovative Fc fusion technology by adding a region of von Willebrand factor and XTEN ® polypeptides to extend its time in circulation. It is the first investigational factor VIII therapy that has been shown to break through the von Willebrand factor ceiling, which imposes a half-life limitation on current factor VIII therapies. ALTUVIIIO ® is the intended trade name of efanesoctocog alfa in the US. Efanesoctocog alfa is currently under clinical investigation and its safety and efficacy have not been evaluated by any regulatory authority. Efanesoctocog alfa is currently under FDA review with a target action date of February 28, 2023. The FDA also granted efanesoctocog alfa Breakthrough Therapy designation in May 2022, – the first factor VIII therapy to receive this recognition – Fast Track designation in February 2021, and Orphan Drug designation in August 2017. Sanofi and Sobi ® collaborate on the development of efanesoctocog alfa. About fitusiran Fitusiran is an investigational, subcutaneously administered small interference RNA (siRNA) therapeutic in development for the prophylactic treatment of people with hemophilia A or B, with or without inhibitors. Fitusiran is designed to lower antithrombin, a protein that inhibits blood clotting, with the goal of promoting thrombin generation to rebalance hemostasis and prevent bleeds. Fitusiran utilizes Alnylam Pharmaceutical Inc.’s ESC-GalNAc conjugate technology, which enables subcutaneous dosing with increased potency and durability. Fitusiran is currently under clinical investigation and has not been evaluated by any regulatory authority. About Enjaym o ® ( sutimlimab -jome ) Enjaymo is a humanized monoclonal antibody that is designed to selectively target and inhibit C1s in the classical complement pathway, which is part of the innate immune system. By blocking C1s, Enjaymo inhibits the activation of the complement cascade in the immune system and inhibits C1-activated hemolysis in cold agglutinin disease (CAD) to prevent the abnormal destruction of healthy red blood cells. Enjaymo does not inhibit the lectin and alternative pathways. Enjaymo was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in February 2022 as the first and only treatment indicated to decrease the need for red blood cell transfusion due to hemolysis in adults with CAD. Sanofi has filed for an sBLA to add CADENZA (BIVV009-04) clinical data into the label and was granted priority review by the FDA in September 2022. About Cablivi ® ( caplacizumab -yhdp ) Cablivi is a von Willebrand Factor (vWF) antibody fragment, which inhibits the interaction between ultra-large vWF multimers and platelets and, therefore, stops the formation of the micro-clots that can form during an acute episode of acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura. Cablivi was approved in the European Union in August 2018 and in the United States in February 2019. Use of Cablivi without plasma exchange is currently investigational and has not been evaluated by any regulatory authority. About rilzabrutinib Rilzabrutinib is an oral Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor incorporating Sanofi’s TAILORED COVALENCY ® technology being investigated for the treatment of immune-mediated diseases, including immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). BTK is an intracellular signaling molecule involved in innate and adaptive immune responses related to certain immune-mediated diseases. By inhibiting BTK, rilzabrutinib has the potential to target the underlying disease pathogenesis. Rilzabrutinib is currently under clinical investigation and its safety and efficacy have not been evaluated by any regulatory authority.

The risks and uncertainties also include the uncertainties discussed or identified in the public filings with the SEC and the AMF made by Sanofi, including those listed under “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Sanofi’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021. Other than as required by applicable law, Sanofi does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information or statements. Attachment PDF
