PNH History

First description by a german physicianPaul Struumlbing in 1889

More detailed description by Dr Ettore Marchiafava and Dr Alessio Nazari in 1911 then Dr Ferdinando Micheli in 1931 (Marchiafava-Micheli syndrome)

Identification of the molecular basis of PNH helped to define the physiology of the complement system in humans (47)

PNH Definition

Rare acquired disorder of hematopoietic stem cells

Incidence not really known but estimated 1-21000000 inhabyear

Somatic mutation in X-linked gene the phosphatidylinositol glycan class A (PIG-A)

PIG-A si required for synthesis of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor

Deficiency in GPI anchored proteins (many)

Lack of CD59 laquo MIRL raquo and CD55 laquo DAF raquo (complement regulatory proteins) leads to complement mediated intravascular hemolysis (47)

PNH Definition

Non malignant clonal expansion 2 steps hypothesis (53)

step 1 PIG-A mutation

no clonal expansion asymptomatic

step 2 injury to the normal bone marrow

T cells and NK cells attack

normal hematopoietic cells destroyedbut PNH cells escape (absence of GPI anchored targeted peptides or accessory molecules required for T cells attack)

bone marrow failure clonal expansion

PNH Diagnosis

(Ham and sucrose tests)

Flow cytometry with monoclonal antibodies that bind to specific GPI-anchored proteins (precentage of PNH cells measured)(38)

clone size

use at least 2 different monoclonal antibodies directed against 2 different GPI-anchored proteins(rare congenital deficiencies of CD59 or CD55)

on at least 2 different cells lineages(risk of falsely negative tests if only red cells are screened ndash recent hemolytic crisis or recent transfusion)

phenotypic mosaicism

PNH III cells completely deficient in GPI anchored-proteins

PNH II cells partly deficient

laquo PNH raquo I cells express GPI-anchored proteins at normal density

PNH Diagnosis

FLAER (fluorescein-labeled proaerolysin)(34)

Aerolysin = the principal virulence factor of the bacterium Aeromonas hydrophila

binds selectively and with high affinity to the GPI anchor

more accurate assessment of the GPI anchor deficit in PNH (PNH clones lt1 can be detected)

complete blood count reticulocytes LDH bilirubin haptoglobin iron stores BM aspirate and biopsy cytogenetics

PNH Clinical aspects

3 different forms (clinical polymorphism)(3 4 34)

Classic PNH

young adults

intravascular hemolytic anemia (with crisis)

Hb lt12 gdL

hemoglobinuria (in the morning)

jaundice

general symptoms (asthenia malaise)

worsening of hemolysis during infection (complement activation above basal level)

no evidence of bone marrow failure (neutro gt1500microL platelets gt120 000microL)

dysphagia abdominal pain erectile dysfunction (35)

thrombosis

reccurent infectious diseases (ORL lungs) 40 2d cause of death

risk of MDSAML 5 25 at 10y (x100)

PNH Clinical aspects

PNH associated with aplastic anemia

small PNH clone (majority of patients lt10)

clinicalbiochemical evidence of hemolysis

2 or 3 cytopenias (Hb lt10 gdL neutro lt1000microL platelets lt80 000microL)

BM failure dominates the clinical picture

PNH Clinical aspects

Subclinical PNH

clone size lt1

no hemolysis

We find PNH clone in 60 of AA and in 20 of low risk MDS(47)

associated to AA high probability of response to immunosuppressive therapy

associated to low risk MDS (refractory anemia)

less pronounced morphological abnormalities of the blood cells

more severe thrombocytopenia

lower rate of karyotypic abnormalities

higher incidence of HLA-DR15

lower rate of progression to AML

higher probability of reponse to cyclosporine

Hypothesis that aplastic anemia and a subgroup of low risk MDS are immune-mediated diseases

immunity provides the selection pressure that favors the outgrowth of PNH clone

131313enspHypothetical mechanisms for thrombosis in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) The hemostatic balance is maintained by coagulation and fibrinolysis and is influenced by factors derived from the vessel wall and blood cells Several mechanisms have been suggested to determine the direction of the balance towards a prothrombotic state in PNH These include the release of free hemoglobin which activates the endothelium and scavenges nitric oxide (NO) In addition complement‐mediated damage of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐deficient blood cells may result in the release of procoagulant microparticles into the circulation and platelet activation Finally deficiency of GPI‐anchored fibrinolytic factors such as urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (u‐PAR) and anticoagulant factors such as tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and potentially proteinase 3 (PR3) may further disturb the hemostatic balance1313copy This slide is made available for non-commercial use only Please note that permission may be required for re-use of images in which the copyright is owned by a third party

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

CD59 and CD55-deficient platelets

complement can induce platelet activation

one study showed increased adherence of patelets to the abdominal vessels(1)

PNH platelets after MAC (membrane attack complex) stimulation expose more FVa-binding sites and increase thrombin generation more than normal platelets(40)

BUT other studies showed impaired function of PNH platelets (reactive downregulation in response to chronic hyperstimulation)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Endothelial cells(40)

direct toxicity of free hemoglobin released

endothelial precursor cells seem to be bone marrow-derived cells

probable same GPI-anchored proteins deficiency

more susceptible to complement injury

thrombosis in unusual sites

damage resulting from the uptake of monocyte-derived MVs (released from GPI-deficient monocytes upon complement damage)

These MVs contain tissue factor thus increasing TF expression on endothelial cells

increased number of EMVs with a prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotype in PNH

increased levels of endothelial cells activation markers (VWF sVCAM-1)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Possible role of C5a protein

binds to a receptor on granulocytes

recruitement and activation of granulocytes and monocytes (enhanced in GPI-deficient white blood cells)

release of inflammatory molecules

damage the endothelium

TF expression

release of monocyte-derived MVs containing TF

= link between inflammation and thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)

TFPI limits coagulation initiation by inhibiting TF formation

mainly produced by the endothelium of the microvasculature

bound to GPI-anchored protein (definciency in PNH)

loss of TFPI expression has been associated with increased risk of thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Neutrophil proteinase-3 (PR-3)(19)

membrane bound protein co-localized with GPI- anchored neutrophil antigen 2a

absence of neutrophil antigen 2a in PNH leads to loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3

PAR-1 (the predominant human platelet thrombin receptor) is a substrate for PR-3

impared down regulation of PAR-1

increased

propensity for platelet activation

PR-3 also modulates coagulation in various other ways

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR)(10131517)

central role in the regulation of haemostatic processes on cell surface

binding of u-PA (urokinase plasminogen activator) to u-PAR converts plasminogen into plasmin

involved in fibrinolysis make it localized pericellularly

GPI-anchored protein

underexpressed on cellular surface in PNH (granulocytes and monocytes)

increased concentrations of soluble uPAR (released from PNH hematopoietic cells)

impaired and displaced fibrinolytic system

Other fibrinolysis parameters

conflicting results

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increased circulating MVs in PNH patients(18)

procoagulant properties of MVs (exposing PS containing TF) have been demonstrated in vitro

complement activation may stimulate the release of procoagulant MVs

no link between clone size and number of MVs

majority of them come from platelets(8)

EMVs levels are also increased in PNH patients with prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotypes(9)

similar level of erythrocyte MVs in vivo but PNH erythrocytes release higher amounts of procoagulant MVs upon complement stimulation in vitro (may suggest rapid clearance from the circulation)(40)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increase of procoagulant activity (fact V fibrinogen fact VIII fact IX fact X and vWF)(10)

positive correlation with clone size

Frequency of congenital thrombophila factors is not increased in PNH(40)

testing for such factors may identify PNH patients at additional risk

its value for treatment decision in PNH is unknown

authors do not recommend routine testing

PNH Risk factors for thrombosis (1-2)

Large WBC clone(4)

clone gt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 345

clone lt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 53

Previous history of thrombosis

Old age (gt55y)

Use of transfusions(3)

Other Elevation of D-dimers

Indications of prophylactic anticoagulation

PNH Treatment of subclinical PNH and AAPNH (47)

Subclinical PNH

no symtoms no treatment

close monitoring (every 6-12 months) because expansion of the clone may occur

PNH associated with aplastic anemia

treatment of the underlying bone marrow failure syndrome (allogenic transplantation immunosuppressive therapy)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH

Eculizumab (Solirisreg Alexion Pharmaceuticals)(6 18 31)

humanized monoclonal antibody

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

blocks the activation of terminal complement C5 and prevents the formation of C5a and C5b-9

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

administration schedule

25-45 min IV infusion

induction dose of 600 mg every 7 days for 4 doses

then 900 mg 7 days later

followed by a maintenance dose of 900 mg every 14 days

vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis at least 14 days prior to receiving eculizumab

05y risk of neisserial sepis (even after vaccination)(34)

revaccinate every 3 to 5 years

medical attention if patient develops signs of neisserial infection

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

TRIUMPH (randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 study)

in transfusion-dependant PNH patients with good bone marrow reserve

reduces hemolysis transfusion requirements

improves anemia fatigue and measures of quality of life

SHEPHERD (open-label phase 3 study)(6)

to investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of eculizumab

97 patients enrolled median age 41 y follow up 52 weeks

8997 pat got a fast response and maintained complete inhibition of hemolysis

efficient

most common adverse events headache nasopharyngitis upper respiratory tract infection

83 of infections possibly related to treatment

44 SAEs (none was considered probably or definely related to treatment)

well tolerated

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

PNH History

First description by a german physicianPaul Struumlbing in 1889

More detailed description by Dr Ettore Marchiafava and Dr Alessio Nazari in 1911 then Dr Ferdinando Micheli in 1931 (Marchiafava-Micheli syndrome)

Identification of the molecular basis of PNH helped to define the physiology of the complement system in humans (47)

PNH Definition

Rare acquired disorder of hematopoietic stem cells

Incidence not really known but estimated 1-21000000 inhabyear

Somatic mutation in X-linked gene the phosphatidylinositol glycan class A (PIG-A)

PIG-A si required for synthesis of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor

Deficiency in GPI anchored proteins (many)

Lack of CD59 laquo MIRL raquo and CD55 laquo DAF raquo (complement regulatory proteins) leads to complement mediated intravascular hemolysis (47)

PNH Definition

Non malignant clonal expansion 2 steps hypothesis (53)

step 1 PIG-A mutation

no clonal expansion asymptomatic

step 2 injury to the normal bone marrow

T cells and NK cells attack

normal hematopoietic cells destroyedbut PNH cells escape (absence of GPI anchored targeted peptides or accessory molecules required for T cells attack)

bone marrow failure clonal expansion

PNH Diagnosis

(Ham and sucrose tests)

Flow cytometry with monoclonal antibodies that bind to specific GPI-anchored proteins (precentage of PNH cells measured)(38)

clone size

use at least 2 different monoclonal antibodies directed against 2 different GPI-anchored proteins(rare congenital deficiencies of CD59 or CD55)

on at least 2 different cells lineages(risk of falsely negative tests if only red cells are screened ndash recent hemolytic crisis or recent transfusion)

phenotypic mosaicism

PNH III cells completely deficient in GPI anchored-proteins

PNH II cells partly deficient

laquo PNH raquo I cells express GPI-anchored proteins at normal density

PNH Diagnosis

FLAER (fluorescein-labeled proaerolysin)(34)

Aerolysin = the principal virulence factor of the bacterium Aeromonas hydrophila

binds selectively and with high affinity to the GPI anchor

more accurate assessment of the GPI anchor deficit in PNH (PNH clones lt1 can be detected)

complete blood count reticulocytes LDH bilirubin haptoglobin iron stores BM aspirate and biopsy cytogenetics

PNH Clinical aspects

BM failure dominates the clinical picture

PNH Clinical aspects

Subclinical PNH

clone size lt1

no hemolysis

We find PNH clone in 60 of AA and in 20 of low risk MDS(47)

associated to AA high probability of response to immunosuppressive therapy

associated to low risk MDS (refractory anemia)

less pronounced morphological abnormalities of the blood cells

more severe thrombocytopenia

lower rate of karyotypic abnormalities

higher incidence of HLA-DR15

lower rate of progression to AML

higher probability of reponse to cyclosporine

Hypothesis that aplastic anemia and a subgroup of low risk MDS are immune-mediated diseases

immunity provides the selection pressure that favors the outgrowth of PNH clone

131313enspHypothetical mechanisms for thrombosis in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) The hemostatic balance is maintained by coagulation and fibrinolysis and is influenced by factors derived from the vessel wall and blood cells Several mechanisms have been suggested to determine the direction of the balance towards a prothrombotic state in PNH These include the release of free hemoglobin which activates the endothelium and scavenges nitric oxide (NO) In addition complement‐mediated damage of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐deficient blood cells may result in the release of procoagulant microparticles into the circulation and platelet activation Finally deficiency of GPI‐anchored fibrinolytic factors such as urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (u‐PAR) and anticoagulant factors such as tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and potentially proteinase 3 (PR3) may further disturb the hemostatic balance1313copy This slide is made available for non-commercial use only Please note that permission may be required for re-use of images in which the copyright is owned by a third party

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

CD59 and CD55-deficient platelets

complement can induce platelet activation

one study showed increased adherence of patelets to the abdominal vessels(1)

PNH platelets after MAC (membrane attack complex) stimulation expose more FVa-binding sites and increase thrombin generation more than normal platelets(40)

BUT other studies showed impaired function of PNH platelets (reactive downregulation in response to chronic hyperstimulation)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Endothelial cells(40)

direct toxicity of free hemoglobin released

endothelial precursor cells seem to be bone marrow-derived cells

probable same GPI-anchored proteins deficiency

more susceptible to complement injury

thrombosis in unusual sites

damage resulting from the uptake of monocyte-derived MVs (released from GPI-deficient monocytes upon complement damage)

These MVs contain tissue factor thus increasing TF expression on endothelial cells

increased number of EMVs with a prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotype in PNH

increased levels of endothelial cells activation markers (VWF sVCAM-1)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Possible role of C5a protein

binds to a receptor on granulocytes

recruitement and activation of granulocytes and monocytes (enhanced in GPI-deficient white blood cells)

release of inflammatory molecules

damage the endothelium

TF expression

release of monocyte-derived MVs containing TF

= link between inflammation and thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)

TFPI limits coagulation initiation by inhibiting TF formation

mainly produced by the endothelium of the microvasculature

bound to GPI-anchored protein (definciency in PNH)

loss of TFPI expression has been associated with increased risk of thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Neutrophil proteinase-3 (PR-3)(19)

membrane bound protein co-localized with GPI- anchored neutrophil antigen 2a

absence of neutrophil antigen 2a in PNH leads to loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3

PAR-1 (the predominant human platelet thrombin receptor) is a substrate for PR-3

impared down regulation of PAR-1

increased

propensity for platelet activation

PR-3 also modulates coagulation in various other ways

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR)(10131517)

central role in the regulation of haemostatic processes on cell surface

binding of u-PA (urokinase plasminogen activator) to u-PAR converts plasminogen into plasmin

involved in fibrinolysis make it localized pericellularly

GPI-anchored protein

underexpressed on cellular surface in PNH (granulocytes and monocytes)

increased concentrations of soluble uPAR (released from PNH hematopoietic cells)

impaired and displaced fibrinolytic system

Other fibrinolysis parameters

conflicting results

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increased circulating MVs in PNH patients(18)

procoagulant properties of MVs (exposing PS containing TF) have been demonstrated in vitro

complement activation may stimulate the release of procoagulant MVs

no link between clone size and number of MVs

majority of them come from platelets(8)

EMVs levels are also increased in PNH patients with prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotypes(9)

similar level of erythrocyte MVs in vivo but PNH erythrocytes release higher amounts of procoagulant MVs upon complement stimulation in vitro (may suggest rapid clearance from the circulation)(40)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increase of procoagulant activity (fact V fibrinogen fact VIII fact IX fact X and vWF)(10)

positive correlation with clone size

Frequency of congenital thrombophila factors is not increased in PNH(40)

testing for such factors may identify PNH patients at additional risk

its value for treatment decision in PNH is unknown

authors do not recommend routine testing

PNH Risk factors for thrombosis (1-2)

Large WBC clone(4)

clone gt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 345

Old age (gt55y)

Use of transfusions(3)

Other Elevation of D-dimers

Indications of prophylactic anticoagulation

PNH Treatment of subclinical PNH and AAPNH (47)

Subclinical PNH

no symtoms no treatment

close monitoring (every 6-12 months) because expansion of the clone may occur

PNH associated with aplastic anemia

treatment of the underlying bone marrow failure syndrome (allogenic transplantation immunosuppressive therapy)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH

Eculizumab (Solirisreg Alexion Pharmaceuticals)(6 18 31)

vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis at least 14 days prior to receiving eculizumab

05y risk of neisserial sepis (even after vaccination)(34)

revaccinate every 3 to 5 years

medical attention if patient develops signs of neisserial infection

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

TRIUMPH (randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 study)

in transfusion-dependant PNH patients with good bone marrow reserve

reduces hemolysis transfusion requirements

improves anemia fatigue and measures of quality of life

SHEPHERD (open-label phase 3 study)(6)

to investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of eculizumab

97 patients enrolled median age 41 y follow up 52 weeks

8997 pat got a fast response and maintained complete inhibition of hemolysis

efficient

most common adverse events headache nasopharyngitis upper respiratory tract infection

83 of infections possibly related to treatment

44 SAEs (none was considered probably or definely related to treatment)

well tolerated

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

PNH History

First description by a german physicianPaul Struumlbing in 1889

More detailed description by Dr Ettore Marchiafava and Dr Alessio Nazari in 1911 then Dr Ferdinando Micheli in 1931 (Marchiafava-Micheli syndrome)

Identification of the molecular basis of PNH helped to define the physiology of the complement system in humans (47)

PNH Definition

Rare acquired disorder of hematopoietic stem cells

Incidence not really known but estimated 1-21000000 inhabyear

Somatic mutation in X-linked gene the phosphatidylinositol glycan class A (PIG-A)

PIG-A si required for synthesis of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor

Deficiency in GPI anchored proteins (many)

Lack of CD59 laquo MIRL raquo and CD55 laquo DAF raquo (complement regulatory proteins) leads to complement mediated intravascular hemolysis (47)

PNH Definition

Non malignant clonal expansion 2 steps hypothesis (53)

step 1 PIG-A mutation

no clonal expansion asymptomatic

step 2 injury to the normal bone marrow

T cells and NK cells attack

normal hematopoietic cells destroyedbut PNH cells escape (absence of GPI anchored targeted peptides or accessory molecules required for T cells attack)

bone marrow failure clonal expansion

PNH Diagnosis

(Ham and sucrose tests)

Flow cytometry with monoclonal antibodies that bind to specific GPI-anchored proteins (precentage of PNH cells measured)(38)

clone size

use at least 2 different monoclonal antibodies directed against 2 different GPI-anchored proteins(rare congenital deficiencies of CD59 or CD55)

on at least 2 different cells lineages(risk of falsely negative tests if only red cells are screened ndash recent hemolytic crisis or recent transfusion)

phenotypic mosaicism

PNH III cells completely deficient in GPI anchored-proteins

PNH II cells partly deficient

laquo PNH raquo I cells express GPI-anchored proteins at normal density

PNH Diagnosis

FLAER (fluorescein-labeled proaerolysin)(34)

Aerolysin = the principal virulence factor of the bacterium Aeromonas hydrophila

binds selectively and with high affinity to the GPI anchor

more accurate assessment of the GPI anchor deficit in PNH (PNH clones lt1 can be detected)

complete blood count reticulocytes LDH bilirubin haptoglobin iron stores BM aspirate and biopsy cytogenetics

PNH Clinical aspects

3 different forms (clinical polymorphism)(3 4 34)

Classic PNH

young adults

intravascular hemolytic anemia (with crisis)

Hb lt12 gdL

hemoglobinuria (in the morning)

jaundice

general symptoms (asthenia malaise)

worsening of hemolysis during infection (complement activation above basal level)

no evidence of bone marrow failure (neutro gt1500microL platelets gt120 000microL)

dysphagia abdominal pain erectile dysfunction (35)

thrombosis

reccurent infectious diseases (ORL lungs) 40 2d cause of death

risk of MDSAML 5 25 at 10y (x100)

PNH Clinical aspects

PNH associated with aplastic anemia

small PNH clone (majority of patients lt10)

clinicalbiochemical evidence of hemolysis

2 or 3 cytopenias (Hb lt10 gdL neutro lt1000microL platelets lt80 000microL)

BM failure dominates the clinical picture

PNH Clinical aspects

Subclinical PNH

clone size lt1

no hemolysis

We find PNH clone in 60 of AA and in 20 of low risk MDS(47)

associated to AA high probability of response to immunosuppressive therapy

associated to low risk MDS (refractory anemia)

less pronounced morphological abnormalities of the blood cells

more severe thrombocytopenia

lower rate of karyotypic abnormalities

higher incidence of HLA-DR15

lower rate of progression to AML

higher probability of reponse to cyclosporine

Hypothesis that aplastic anemia and a subgroup of low risk MDS are immune-mediated diseases

immunity provides the selection pressure that favors the outgrowth of PNH clone

131313enspHypothetical mechanisms for thrombosis in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) The hemostatic balance is maintained by coagulation and fibrinolysis and is influenced by factors derived from the vessel wall and blood cells Several mechanisms have been suggested to determine the direction of the balance towards a prothrombotic state in PNH These include the release of free hemoglobin which activates the endothelium and scavenges nitric oxide (NO) In addition complement‐mediated damage of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐deficient blood cells may result in the release of procoagulant microparticles into the circulation and platelet activation Finally deficiency of GPI‐anchored fibrinolytic factors such as urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (u‐PAR) and anticoagulant factors such as tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and potentially proteinase 3 (PR3) may further disturb the hemostatic balance1313copy This slide is made available for non-commercial use only Please note that permission may be required for re-use of images in which the copyright is owned by a third party

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

CD59 and CD55-deficient platelets

complement can induce platelet activation

one study showed increased adherence of patelets to the abdominal vessels(1)

PNH platelets after MAC (membrane attack complex) stimulation expose more FVa-binding sites and increase thrombin generation more than normal platelets(40)

BUT other studies showed impaired function of PNH platelets (reactive downregulation in response to chronic hyperstimulation)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Endothelial cells(40)

direct toxicity of free hemoglobin released

endothelial precursor cells seem to be bone marrow-derived cells

probable same GPI-anchored proteins deficiency

more susceptible to complement injury

thrombosis in unusual sites

damage resulting from the uptake of monocyte-derived MVs (released from GPI-deficient monocytes upon complement damage)

These MVs contain tissue factor thus increasing TF expression on endothelial cells

increased number of EMVs with a prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotype in PNH

increased levels of endothelial cells activation markers (VWF sVCAM-1)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Possible role of C5a protein

binds to a receptor on granulocytes

recruitement and activation of granulocytes and monocytes (enhanced in GPI-deficient white blood cells)

release of inflammatory molecules

damage the endothelium

TF expression

release of monocyte-derived MVs containing TF

= link between inflammation and thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)

TFPI limits coagulation initiation by inhibiting TF formation

mainly produced by the endothelium of the microvasculature

bound to GPI-anchored protein (definciency in PNH)

loss of TFPI expression has been associated with increased risk of thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Neutrophil proteinase-3 (PR-3)(19)

membrane bound protein co-localized with GPI- anchored neutrophil antigen 2a

absence of neutrophil antigen 2a in PNH leads to loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3

PAR-1 (the predominant human platelet thrombin receptor) is a substrate for PR-3

impared down regulation of PAR-1

increased

propensity for platelet activation

PR-3 also modulates coagulation in various other ways

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR)(10131517)

central role in the regulation of haemostatic processes on cell surface

binding of u-PA (urokinase plasminogen activator) to u-PAR converts plasminogen into plasmin

involved in fibrinolysis make it localized pericellularly

GPI-anchored protein

underexpressed on cellular surface in PNH (granulocytes and monocytes)

increased concentrations of soluble uPAR (released from PNH hematopoietic cells)

impaired and displaced fibrinolytic system

Other fibrinolysis parameters

conflicting results

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increased circulating MVs in PNH patients(18)

procoagulant properties of MVs (exposing PS containing TF) have been demonstrated in vitro

complement activation may stimulate the release of procoagulant MVs

no link between clone size and number of MVs

majority of them come from platelets(8)

EMVs levels are also increased in PNH patients with prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotypes(9)

similar level of erythrocyte MVs in vivo but PNH erythrocytes release higher amounts of procoagulant MVs upon complement stimulation in vitro (may suggest rapid clearance from the circulation)(40)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increase of procoagulant activity (fact V fibrinogen fact VIII fact IX fact X and vWF)(10)

positive correlation with clone size

Frequency of congenital thrombophila factors is not increased in PNH(40)

testing for such factors may identify PNH patients at additional risk

its value for treatment decision in PNH is unknown

authors do not recommend routine testing

PNH Risk factors for thrombosis (1-2)

Large WBC clone(4)

clone gt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 345

efficient

most common adverse events headache nasopharyngitis upper respiratory tract infection

83 of infections possibly related to treatment

44 SAEs (none was considered probably or definely related to treatment)

well tolerated

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

PNH Definition

Rare acquired disorder of hematopoietic stem cells

Incidence not really known but estimated 1-21000000 inhabyear

Somatic mutation in X-linked gene the phosphatidylinositol glycan class A (PIG-A)

PIG-A si required for synthesis of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor

Deficiency in GPI anchored proteins (many)

Lack of CD59 laquo MIRL raquo and CD55 laquo DAF raquo (complement regulatory proteins) leads to complement mediated intravascular hemolysis (47)

PNH Definition

Non malignant clonal expansion 2 steps hypothesis (53)

step 1 PIG-A mutation

no clonal expansion asymptomatic

step 2 injury to the normal bone marrow

T cells and NK cells attack

normal hematopoietic cells destroyedbut PNH cells escape (absence of GPI anchored targeted peptides or accessory molecules required for T cells attack)

bone marrow failure clonal expansion

PNH Diagnosis

(Ham and sucrose tests)

Flow cytometry with monoclonal antibodies that bind to specific GPI-anchored proteins (precentage of PNH cells measured)(38)

clone size

use at least 2 different monoclonal antibodies directed against 2 different GPI-anchored proteins(rare congenital deficiencies of CD59 or CD55)

on at least 2 different cells lineages(risk of falsely negative tests if only red cells are screened ndash recent hemolytic crisis or recent transfusion)

phenotypic mosaicism

PNH III cells completely deficient in GPI anchored-proteins

PNH II cells partly deficient

laquo PNH raquo I cells express GPI-anchored proteins at normal density

PNH Diagnosis

FLAER (fluorescein-labeled proaerolysin)(34)

Aerolysin = the principal virulence factor of the bacterium Aeromonas hydrophila

binds selectively and with high affinity to the GPI anchor

more accurate assessment of the GPI anchor deficit in PNH (PNH clones lt1 can be detected)

complete blood count reticulocytes LDH bilirubin haptoglobin iron stores BM aspirate and biopsy cytogenetics

PNH Clinical aspects

Subclinical PNH

clone size lt1

no hemolysis

We find PNH clone in 60 of AA and in 20 of low risk MDS(47)

associated to AA high probability of response to immunosuppressive therapy

associated to low risk MDS (refractory anemia)

less pronounced morphological abnormalities of the blood cells

more severe thrombocytopenia

lower rate of karyotypic abnormalities

higher incidence of HLA-DR15

lower rate of progression to AML

higher probability of reponse to cyclosporine

Hypothesis that aplastic anemia and a subgroup of low risk MDS are immune-mediated diseases

131313enspHypothetical mechanisms for thrombosis in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) The hemostatic balance is maintained by coagulation and fibrinolysis and is influenced by factors derived from the vessel wall and blood cells Several mechanisms have been suggested to determine the direction of the balance towards a prothrombotic state in PNH These include the release of free hemoglobin which activates the endothelium and scavenges nitric oxide (NO) In addition complement‐mediated damage of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐deficient blood cells may result in the release of procoagulant microparticles into the circulation and platelet activation Finally deficiency of GPI‐anchored fibrinolytic factors such as urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (u‐PAR) and anticoagulant factors such as tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and potentially proteinase 3 (PR3) may further disturb the hemostatic balance1313copy This slide is made available for non-commercial use only Please note that permission may be required for re-use of images in which the copyright is owned by a third party

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

CD59 and CD55-deficient platelets

complement can induce platelet activation

one study showed increased adherence of patelets to the abdominal vessels(1)

PNH platelets after MAC (membrane attack complex) stimulation expose more FVa-binding sites and increase thrombin generation more than normal platelets(40)

BUT other studies showed impaired function of PNH platelets (reactive downregulation in response to chronic hyperstimulation)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Endothelial cells(40)

direct toxicity of free hemoglobin released

endothelial precursor cells seem to be bone marrow-derived cells

probable same GPI-anchored proteins deficiency

more susceptible to complement injury

thrombosis in unusual sites

damage resulting from the uptake of monocyte-derived MVs (released from GPI-deficient monocytes upon complement damage)

These MVs contain tissue factor thus increasing TF expression on endothelial cells

increased number of EMVs with a prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotype in PNH

increased levels of endothelial cells activation markers (VWF sVCAM-1)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Possible role of C5a protein

binds to a receptor on granulocytes

recruitement and activation of granulocytes and monocytes (enhanced in GPI-deficient white blood cells)

release of inflammatory molecules

damage the endothelium

TF expression

release of monocyte-derived MVs containing TF

= link between inflammation and thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)

TFPI limits coagulation initiation by inhibiting TF formation

mainly produced by the endothelium of the microvasculature

bound to GPI-anchored protein (definciency in PNH)

loss of TFPI expression has been associated with increased risk of thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Neutrophil proteinase-3 (PR-3)(19)

membrane bound protein co-localized with GPI- anchored neutrophil antigen 2a

absence of neutrophil antigen 2a in PNH leads to loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3

PAR-1 (the predominant human platelet thrombin receptor) is a substrate for PR-3

impared down regulation of PAR-1

increased

propensity for platelet activation

PR-3 also modulates coagulation in various other ways

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR)(10131517)

central role in the regulation of haemostatic processes on cell surface

binding of u-PA (urokinase plasminogen activator) to u-PAR converts plasminogen into plasmin

involved in fibrinolysis make it localized pericellularly

GPI-anchored protein

underexpressed on cellular surface in PNH (granulocytes and monocytes)

increased concentrations of soluble uPAR (released from PNH hematopoietic cells)

impaired and displaced fibrinolytic system

Other fibrinolysis parameters

conflicting results

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increased circulating MVs in PNH patients(18)

procoagulant properties of MVs (exposing PS containing TF) have been demonstrated in vitro

complement activation may stimulate the release of procoagulant MVs

no link between clone size and number of MVs

majority of them come from platelets(8)

EMVs levels are also increased in PNH patients with prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotypes(9)

similar level of erythrocyte MVs in vivo but PNH erythrocytes release higher amounts of procoagulant MVs upon complement stimulation in vitro (may suggest rapid clearance from the circulation)(40)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increase of procoagulant activity (fact V fibrinogen fact VIII fact IX fact X and vWF)(10)

positive correlation with clone size

Frequency of congenital thrombophila factors is not increased in PNH(40)

testing for such factors may identify PNH patients at additional risk

its value for treatment decision in PNH is unknown

authors do not recommend routine testing

PNH Risk factors for thrombosis (1-2)

Large WBC clone(4)

clone gt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 345

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

TRIUMPH (randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 study)

in transfusion-dependant PNH patients with good bone marrow reserve

reduces hemolysis transfusion requirements

improves anemia fatigue and measures of quality of life

SHEPHERD (open-label phase 3 study)(6)

8997 pat got a fast response and maintained complete inhibition of hemolysis

efficient

most common adverse events headache nasopharyngitis upper respiratory tract infection

83 of infections possibly related to treatment

44 SAEs (none was considered probably or definely related to treatment)

well tolerated

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

step 1 PIG-A mutation

no clonal expansion asymptomatic

step 2 injury to the normal bone marrow

T cells and NK cells attack

normal hematopoietic cells destroyedbut PNH cells escape (absence of GPI anchored targeted peptides or accessory molecules required for T cells attack)

bone marrow failure clonal expansion

PNH Diagnosis

(Ham and sucrose tests)

Flow cytometry with monoclonal antibodies that bind to specific GPI-anchored proteins (precentage of PNH cells measured)(38)

clone size

use at least 2 different monoclonal antibodies directed against 2 different GPI-anchored proteins(rare congenital deficiencies of CD59 or CD55)

on at least 2 different cells lineages(risk of falsely negative tests if only red cells are screened ndash recent hemolytic crisis or recent transfusion)

phenotypic mosaicism

PNH III cells completely deficient in GPI anchored-proteins

PNH II cells partly deficient

laquo PNH raquo I cells express GPI-anchored proteins at normal density

PNH Diagnosis

FLAER (fluorescein-labeled proaerolysin)(34)

Aerolysin = the principal virulence factor of the bacterium Aeromonas hydrophila

binds selectively and with high affinity to the GPI anchor

more accurate assessment of the GPI anchor deficit in PNH (PNH clones lt1 can be detected)

complete blood count reticulocytes LDH bilirubin haptoglobin iron stores BM aspirate and biopsy cytogenetics

PNH Clinical aspects

Subclinical PNH

clone size lt1

no hemolysis

We find PNH clone in 60 of AA and in 20 of low risk MDS(47)

associated to AA high probability of response to immunosuppressive therapy

associated to low risk MDS (refractory anemia)

less pronounced morphological abnormalities of the blood cells

more severe thrombocytopenia

lower rate of karyotypic abnormalities

higher incidence of HLA-DR15

lower rate of progression to AML

higher probability of reponse to cyclosporine

Hypothesis that aplastic anemia and a subgroup of low risk MDS are immune-mediated diseases

131313enspHypothetical mechanisms for thrombosis in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) The hemostatic balance is maintained by coagulation and fibrinolysis and is influenced by factors derived from the vessel wall and blood cells Several mechanisms have been suggested to determine the direction of the balance towards a prothrombotic state in PNH These include the release of free hemoglobin which activates the endothelium and scavenges nitric oxide (NO) In addition complement‐mediated damage of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐deficient blood cells may result in the release of procoagulant microparticles into the circulation and platelet activation Finally deficiency of GPI‐anchored fibrinolytic factors such as urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (u‐PAR) and anticoagulant factors such as tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and potentially proteinase 3 (PR3) may further disturb the hemostatic balance1313copy This slide is made available for non-commercial use only Please note that permission may be required for re-use of images in which the copyright is owned by a third party

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

CD59 and CD55-deficient platelets

complement can induce platelet activation

one study showed increased adherence of patelets to the abdominal vessels(1)

PNH platelets after MAC (membrane attack complex) stimulation expose more FVa-binding sites and increase thrombin generation more than normal platelets(40)

BUT other studies showed impaired function of PNH platelets (reactive downregulation in response to chronic hyperstimulation)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Endothelial cells(40)

direct toxicity of free hemoglobin released

endothelial precursor cells seem to be bone marrow-derived cells

probable same GPI-anchored proteins deficiency

more susceptible to complement injury

thrombosis in unusual sites

damage resulting from the uptake of monocyte-derived MVs (released from GPI-deficient monocytes upon complement damage)

These MVs contain tissue factor thus increasing TF expression on endothelial cells

increased number of EMVs with a prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotype in PNH

increased levels of endothelial cells activation markers (VWF sVCAM-1)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Possible role of C5a protein

binds to a receptor on granulocytes

recruitement and activation of granulocytes and monocytes (enhanced in GPI-deficient white blood cells)

release of inflammatory molecules

damage the endothelium

TF expression

release of monocyte-derived MVs containing TF

= link between inflammation and thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)

TFPI limits coagulation initiation by inhibiting TF formation

mainly produced by the endothelium of the microvasculature

bound to GPI-anchored protein (definciency in PNH)

loss of TFPI expression has been associated with increased risk of thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Neutrophil proteinase-3 (PR-3)(19)

membrane bound protein co-localized with GPI- anchored neutrophil antigen 2a

absence of neutrophil antigen 2a in PNH leads to loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3

PAR-1 (the predominant human platelet thrombin receptor) is a substrate for PR-3

impared down regulation of PAR-1

increased

propensity for platelet activation

PR-3 also modulates coagulation in various other ways

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR)(10131517)

central role in the regulation of haemostatic processes on cell surface

binding of u-PA (urokinase plasminogen activator) to u-PAR converts plasminogen into plasmin

involved in fibrinolysis make it localized pericellularly

GPI-anchored protein

underexpressed on cellular surface in PNH (granulocytes and monocytes)

increased concentrations of soluble uPAR (released from PNH hematopoietic cells)

impaired and displaced fibrinolytic system

Other fibrinolysis parameters

conflicting results

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increased circulating MVs in PNH patients(18)

procoagulant properties of MVs (exposing PS containing TF) have been demonstrated in vitro

complement activation may stimulate the release of procoagulant MVs

no link between clone size and number of MVs

majority of them come from platelets(8)

EMVs levels are also increased in PNH patients with prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotypes(9)

similar level of erythrocyte MVs in vivo but PNH erythrocytes release higher amounts of procoagulant MVs upon complement stimulation in vitro (may suggest rapid clearance from the circulation)(40)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increase of procoagulant activity (fact V fibrinogen fact VIII fact IX fact X and vWF)(10)

positive correlation with clone size

Frequency of congenital thrombophila factors is not increased in PNH(40)

testing for such factors may identify PNH patients at additional risk

its value for treatment decision in PNH is unknown

authors do not recommend routine testing

PNH Risk factors for thrombosis (1-2)

Large WBC clone(4)

clone gt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 345

clone lt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 53

Previous history of thrombosis

Old age (gt55y)

Use of transfusions(3)

Other Elevation of D-dimers

Indications of prophylactic anticoagulation

PNH Treatment of subclinical PNH and AAPNH (47)

Subclinical PNH

medical attention if patient develops signs of neisserial infection

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

TRIUMPH (randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 study)

in transfusion-dependant PNH patients with good bone marrow reserve

reduces hemolysis transfusion requirements

improves anemia fatigue and measures of quality of life

SHEPHERD (open-label phase 3 study)(6)

8997 pat got a fast response and maintained complete inhibition of hemolysis

efficient

most common adverse events headache nasopharyngitis upper respiratory tract infection

83 of infections possibly related to treatment

44 SAEs (none was considered probably or definely related to treatment)

well tolerated

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

PNH Diagnosis

(Ham and sucrose tests)

Flow cytometry with monoclonal antibodies that bind to specific GPI-anchored proteins (precentage of PNH cells measured)(38)

clone size

use at least 2 different monoclonal antibodies directed against 2 different GPI-anchored proteins(rare congenital deficiencies of CD59 or CD55)

on at least 2 different cells lineages(risk of falsely negative tests if only red cells are screened ndash recent hemolytic crisis or recent transfusion)

131313enspHypothetical mechanisms for thrombosis in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) The hemostatic balance is maintained by coagulation and fibrinolysis and is influenced by factors derived from the vessel wall and blood cells Several mechanisms have been suggested to determine the direction of the balance towards a prothrombotic state in PNH These include the release of free hemoglobin which activates the endothelium and scavenges nitric oxide (NO) In addition complement‐mediated damage of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐deficient blood cells may result in the release of procoagulant microparticles into the circulation and platelet activation Finally deficiency of GPI‐anchored fibrinolytic factors such as urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (u‐PAR) and anticoagulant factors such as tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and potentially proteinase 3 (PR3) may further disturb the hemostatic balance1313copy This slide is made available for non-commercial use only Please note that permission may be required for re-use of images in which the copyright is owned by a third party

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

CD59 and CD55-deficient platelets

complement can induce platelet activation

one study showed increased adherence of patelets to the abdominal vessels(1)

PNH platelets after MAC (membrane attack complex) stimulation expose more FVa-binding sites and increase thrombin generation more than normal platelets(40)

BUT other studies showed impaired function of PNH platelets (reactive downregulation in response to chronic hyperstimulation)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Endothelial cells(40)

direct toxicity of free hemoglobin released

endothelial precursor cells seem to be bone marrow-derived cells

probable same GPI-anchored proteins deficiency

more susceptible to complement injury

thrombosis in unusual sites

damage resulting from the uptake of monocyte-derived MVs (released from GPI-deficient monocytes upon complement damage)

These MVs contain tissue factor thus increasing TF expression on endothelial cells

increased number of EMVs with a prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotype in PNH

increased levels of endothelial cells activation markers (VWF sVCAM-1)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Possible role of C5a protein

binds to a receptor on granulocytes

recruitement and activation of granulocytes and monocytes (enhanced in GPI-deficient white blood cells)

release of inflammatory molecules

damage the endothelium

TF expression

release of monocyte-derived MVs containing TF

= link between inflammation and thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)

TFPI limits coagulation initiation by inhibiting TF formation

mainly produced by the endothelium of the microvasculature

bound to GPI-anchored protein (definciency in PNH)

loss of TFPI expression has been associated with increased risk of thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Neutrophil proteinase-3 (PR-3)(19)

membrane bound protein co-localized with GPI- anchored neutrophil antigen 2a

absence of neutrophil antigen 2a in PNH leads to loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3

PAR-1 (the predominant human platelet thrombin receptor) is a substrate for PR-3

impared down regulation of PAR-1

increased

propensity for platelet activation

PR-3 also modulates coagulation in various other ways

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR)(10131517)

central role in the regulation of haemostatic processes on cell surface

binding of u-PA (urokinase plasminogen activator) to u-PAR converts plasminogen into plasmin

involved in fibrinolysis make it localized pericellularly

GPI-anchored protein

underexpressed on cellular surface in PNH (granulocytes and monocytes)

increased concentrations of soluble uPAR (released from PNH hematopoietic cells)

impaired and displaced fibrinolytic system

Other fibrinolysis parameters

conflicting results

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increased circulating MVs in PNH patients(18)

procoagulant properties of MVs (exposing PS containing TF) have been demonstrated in vitro

complement activation may stimulate the release of procoagulant MVs

no link between clone size and number of MVs

majority of them come from platelets(8)

EMVs levels are also increased in PNH patients with prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotypes(9)

similar level of erythrocyte MVs in vivo but PNH erythrocytes release higher amounts of procoagulant MVs upon complement stimulation in vitro (may suggest rapid clearance from the circulation)(40)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increase of procoagulant activity (fact V fibrinogen fact VIII fact IX fact X and vWF)(10)

positive correlation with clone size

Frequency of congenital thrombophila factors is not increased in PNH(40)

testing for such factors may identify PNH patients at additional risk

its value for treatment decision in PNH is unknown

authors do not recommend routine testing

PNH Risk factors for thrombosis (1-2)

Large WBC clone(4)

clone gt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 345

clone lt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 53

Previous history of thrombosis

Old age (gt55y)

Use of transfusions(3)

Other Elevation of D-dimers

Indications of prophylactic anticoagulation

PNH Treatment of subclinical PNH and AAPNH (47)

Subclinical PNH

no symtoms no treatment

close monitoring (every 6-12 months) because expansion of the clone may occur

PNH associated with aplastic anemia

treatment of the underlying bone marrow failure syndrome (allogenic transplantation immunosuppressive therapy)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH

Eculizumab (Solirisreg Alexion Pharmaceuticals)(6 18 31)

05y risk of neisserial sepis (even after vaccination)(34)

revaccinate every 3 to 5 years

medical attention if patient develops signs of neisserial infection

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

TRIUMPH (randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 study)

in transfusion-dependant PNH patients with good bone marrow reserve

reduces hemolysis transfusion requirements

improves anemia fatigue and measures of quality of life

SHEPHERD (open-label phase 3 study)(6)

97 patients enrolled median age 41 y follow up 52 weeks

8997 pat got a fast response and maintained complete inhibition of hemolysis

efficient

most common adverse events headache nasopharyngitis upper respiratory tract infection

83 of infections possibly related to treatment

44 SAEs (none was considered probably or definely related to treatment)

well tolerated

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

131313enspHypothetical mechanisms for thrombosis in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) The hemostatic balance is maintained by coagulation and fibrinolysis and is influenced by factors derived from the vessel wall and blood cells Several mechanisms have been suggested to determine the direction of the balance towards a prothrombotic state in PNH These include the release of free hemoglobin which activates the endothelium and scavenges nitric oxide (NO) In addition complement‐mediated damage of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐deficient blood cells may result in the release of procoagulant microparticles into the circulation and platelet activation Finally deficiency of GPI‐anchored fibrinolytic factors such as urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (u‐PAR) and anticoagulant factors such as tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and potentially proteinase 3 (PR3) may further disturb the hemostatic balance1313copy This slide is made available for non-commercial use only Please note that permission may be required for re-use of images in which the copyright is owned by a third party

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

CD59 and CD55-deficient platelets

complement can induce platelet activation

one study showed increased adherence of patelets to the abdominal vessels(1)

PNH platelets after MAC (membrane attack complex) stimulation expose more FVa-binding sites and increase thrombin generation more than normal platelets(40)

BUT other studies showed impaired function of PNH platelets (reactive downregulation in response to chronic hyperstimulation)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Endothelial cells(40)

direct toxicity of free hemoglobin released

endothelial precursor cells seem to be bone marrow-derived cells

probable same GPI-anchored proteins deficiency

more susceptible to complement injury

thrombosis in unusual sites

damage resulting from the uptake of monocyte-derived MVs (released from GPI-deficient monocytes upon complement damage)

These MVs contain tissue factor thus increasing TF expression on endothelial cells

increased number of EMVs with a prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotype in PNH

increased levels of endothelial cells activation markers (VWF sVCAM-1)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Possible role of C5a protein

binds to a receptor on granulocytes

recruitement and activation of granulocytes and monocytes (enhanced in GPI-deficient white blood cells)

release of inflammatory molecules

damage the endothelium

TF expression

release of monocyte-derived MVs containing TF

= link between inflammation and thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)

TFPI limits coagulation initiation by inhibiting TF formation

mainly produced by the endothelium of the microvasculature

bound to GPI-anchored protein (definciency in PNH)

loss of TFPI expression has been associated with increased risk of thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Neutrophil proteinase-3 (PR-3)(19)

membrane bound protein co-localized with GPI- anchored neutrophil antigen 2a

absence of neutrophil antigen 2a in PNH leads to loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3

PAR-1 (the predominant human platelet thrombin receptor) is a substrate for PR-3

impared down regulation of PAR-1

increased

propensity for platelet activation

PR-3 also modulates coagulation in various other ways

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR)(10131517)

central role in the regulation of haemostatic processes on cell surface

binding of u-PA (urokinase plasminogen activator) to u-PAR converts plasminogen into plasmin

involved in fibrinolysis make it localized pericellularly

GPI-anchored protein

underexpressed on cellular surface in PNH (granulocytes and monocytes)

increased concentrations of soluble uPAR (released from PNH hematopoietic cells)

impaired and displaced fibrinolytic system

Other fibrinolysis parameters

conflicting results

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increased circulating MVs in PNH patients(18)

procoagulant properties of MVs (exposing PS containing TF) have been demonstrated in vitro

complement activation may stimulate the release of procoagulant MVs

no link between clone size and number of MVs

majority of them come from platelets(8)

EMVs levels are also increased in PNH patients with prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotypes(9)

similar level of erythrocyte MVs in vivo but PNH erythrocytes release higher amounts of procoagulant MVs upon complement stimulation in vitro (may suggest rapid clearance from the circulation)(40)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increase of procoagulant activity (fact V fibrinogen fact VIII fact IX fact X and vWF)(10)

positive correlation with clone size

Frequency of congenital thrombophila factors is not increased in PNH(40)

testing for such factors may identify PNH patients at additional risk

its value for treatment decision in PNH is unknown

authors do not recommend routine testing

PNH Risk factors for thrombosis (1-2)

Large WBC clone(4)

clone gt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 345

clone lt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 53

Previous history of thrombosis

Old age (gt55y)

Use of transfusions(3)

Other Elevation of D-dimers

Indications of prophylactic anticoagulation

PNH Treatment of subclinical PNH and AAPNH (47)

Subclinical PNH

no symtoms no treatment

close monitoring (every 6-12 months) because expansion of the clone may occur

PNH associated with aplastic anemia

treatment of the underlying bone marrow failure syndrome (allogenic transplantation immunosuppressive therapy)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH

Eculizumab (Solirisreg Alexion Pharmaceuticals)(6 18 31)

05y risk of neisserial sepis (even after vaccination)(34)

revaccinate every 3 to 5 years

medical attention if patient develops signs of neisserial infection

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

TRIUMPH (randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 study)

in transfusion-dependant PNH patients with good bone marrow reserve

reduces hemolysis transfusion requirements

improves anemia fatigue and measures of quality of life

SHEPHERD (open-label phase 3 study)(6)

97 patients enrolled median age 41 y follow up 52 weeks

8997 pat got a fast response and maintained complete inhibition of hemolysis

efficient

most common adverse events headache nasopharyngitis upper respiratory tract infection

83 of infections possibly related to treatment

44 SAEs (none was considered probably or definely related to treatment)

well tolerated

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

131313enspHypothetical mechanisms for thrombosis in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) The hemostatic balance is maintained by coagulation and fibrinolysis and is influenced by factors derived from the vessel wall and blood cells Several mechanisms have been suggested to determine the direction of the balance towards a prothrombotic state in PNH These include the release of free hemoglobin which activates the endothelium and scavenges nitric oxide (NO) In addition complement‐mediated damage of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐deficient blood cells may result in the release of procoagulant microparticles into the circulation and platelet activation Finally deficiency of GPI‐anchored fibrinolytic factors such as urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (u‐PAR) and anticoagulant factors such as tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and potentially proteinase 3 (PR3) may further disturb the hemostatic balance1313copy This slide is made available for non-commercial use only Please note that permission may be required for re-use of images in which the copyright is owned by a third party

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

CD59 and CD55-deficient platelets

complement can induce platelet activation

one study showed increased adherence of patelets to the abdominal vessels(1)

PNH platelets after MAC (membrane attack complex) stimulation expose more FVa-binding sites and increase thrombin generation more than normal platelets(40)

BUT other studies showed impaired function of PNH platelets (reactive downregulation in response to chronic hyperstimulation)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Endothelial cells(40)

direct toxicity of free hemoglobin released

endothelial precursor cells seem to be bone marrow-derived cells

probable same GPI-anchored proteins deficiency

more susceptible to complement injury

thrombosis in unusual sites

damage resulting from the uptake of monocyte-derived MVs (released from GPI-deficient monocytes upon complement damage)

These MVs contain tissue factor thus increasing TF expression on endothelial cells

increased number of EMVs with a prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotype in PNH

increased levels of endothelial cells activation markers (VWF sVCAM-1)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Possible role of C5a protein

binds to a receptor on granulocytes

recruitement and activation of granulocytes and monocytes (enhanced in GPI-deficient white blood cells)

release of inflammatory molecules

damage the endothelium

TF expression

release of monocyte-derived MVs containing TF

= link between inflammation and thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)

TFPI limits coagulation initiation by inhibiting TF formation

mainly produced by the endothelium of the microvasculature

bound to GPI-anchored protein (definciency in PNH)

loss of TFPI expression has been associated with increased risk of thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Neutrophil proteinase-3 (PR-3)(19)

membrane bound protein co-localized with GPI- anchored neutrophil antigen 2a

absence of neutrophil antigen 2a in PNH leads to loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3

PAR-1 (the predominant human platelet thrombin receptor) is a substrate for PR-3

impared down regulation of PAR-1

increased

propensity for platelet activation

PR-3 also modulates coagulation in various other ways

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR)(10131517)

central role in the regulation of haemostatic processes on cell surface

binding of u-PA (urokinase plasminogen activator) to u-PAR converts plasminogen into plasmin

involved in fibrinolysis make it localized pericellularly

GPI-anchored protein

underexpressed on cellular surface in PNH (granulocytes and monocytes)

increased concentrations of soluble uPAR (released from PNH hematopoietic cells)

impaired and displaced fibrinolytic system

Other fibrinolysis parameters

conflicting results

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increased circulating MVs in PNH patients(18)

procoagulant properties of MVs (exposing PS containing TF) have been demonstrated in vitro

complement activation may stimulate the release of procoagulant MVs

no link between clone size and number of MVs

majority of them come from platelets(8)

EMVs levels are also increased in PNH patients with prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotypes(9)

similar level of erythrocyte MVs in vivo but PNH erythrocytes release higher amounts of procoagulant MVs upon complement stimulation in vitro (may suggest rapid clearance from the circulation)(40)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increase of procoagulant activity (fact V fibrinogen fact VIII fact IX fact X and vWF)(10)

positive correlation with clone size

Frequency of congenital thrombophila factors is not increased in PNH(40)

testing for such factors may identify PNH patients at additional risk

its value for treatment decision in PNH is unknown

authors do not recommend routine testing

PNH Risk factors for thrombosis (1-2)

Large WBC clone(4)

clone gt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 345

clone lt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 53

Previous history of thrombosis

Old age (gt55y)

Use of transfusions(3)

Other Elevation of D-dimers

Indications of prophylactic anticoagulation

PNH Treatment of subclinical PNH and AAPNH (47)

Subclinical PNH

no symtoms no treatment

close monitoring (every 6-12 months) because expansion of the clone may occur

PNH associated with aplastic anemia

treatment of the underlying bone marrow failure syndrome (allogenic transplantation immunosuppressive therapy)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH

Eculizumab (Solirisreg Alexion Pharmaceuticals)(6 18 31)

vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis at least 14 days prior to receiving eculizumab

05y risk of neisserial sepis (even after vaccination)(34)

revaccinate every 3 to 5 years

medical attention if patient develops signs of neisserial infection

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

TRIUMPH (randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 study)

in transfusion-dependant PNH patients with good bone marrow reserve

reduces hemolysis transfusion requirements

improves anemia fatigue and measures of quality of life

SHEPHERD (open-label phase 3 study)(6)

97 patients enrolled median age 41 y follow up 52 weeks

8997 pat got a fast response and maintained complete inhibition of hemolysis

efficient

most common adverse events headache nasopharyngitis upper respiratory tract infection

83 of infections possibly related to treatment

44 SAEs (none was considered probably or definely related to treatment)

well tolerated

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

131313enspHypothetical mechanisms for thrombosis in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) The hemostatic balance is maintained by coagulation and fibrinolysis and is influenced by factors derived from the vessel wall and blood cells Several mechanisms have been suggested to determine the direction of the balance towards a prothrombotic state in PNH These include the release of free hemoglobin which activates the endothelium and scavenges nitric oxide (NO) In addition complement‐mediated damage of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐deficient blood cells may result in the release of procoagulant microparticles into the circulation and platelet activation Finally deficiency of GPI‐anchored fibrinolytic factors such as urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (u‐PAR) and anticoagulant factors such as tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and potentially proteinase 3 (PR3) may further disturb the hemostatic balance1313copy This slide is made available for non-commercial use only Please note that permission may be required for re-use of images in which the copyright is owned by a third party

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

CD59 and CD55-deficient platelets

complement can induce platelet activation

one study showed increased adherence of patelets to the abdominal vessels(1)

PNH platelets after MAC (membrane attack complex) stimulation expose more FVa-binding sites and increase thrombin generation more than normal platelets(40)

BUT other studies showed impaired function of PNH platelets (reactive downregulation in response to chronic hyperstimulation)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Endothelial cells(40)

direct toxicity of free hemoglobin released

endothelial precursor cells seem to be bone marrow-derived cells

probable same GPI-anchored proteins deficiency

more susceptible to complement injury

thrombosis in unusual sites

damage resulting from the uptake of monocyte-derived MVs (released from GPI-deficient monocytes upon complement damage)

These MVs contain tissue factor thus increasing TF expression on endothelial cells

increased number of EMVs with a prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotype in PNH

increased levels of endothelial cells activation markers (VWF sVCAM-1)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Possible role of C5a protein

binds to a receptor on granulocytes

recruitement and activation of granulocytes and monocytes (enhanced in GPI-deficient white blood cells)

release of inflammatory molecules

damage the endothelium

TF expression

release of monocyte-derived MVs containing TF

= link between inflammation and thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)

TFPI limits coagulation initiation by inhibiting TF formation

mainly produced by the endothelium of the microvasculature

bound to GPI-anchored protein (definciency in PNH)

loss of TFPI expression has been associated with increased risk of thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Neutrophil proteinase-3 (PR-3)(19)

membrane bound protein co-localized with GPI- anchored neutrophil antigen 2a

absence of neutrophil antigen 2a in PNH leads to loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3

PAR-1 (the predominant human platelet thrombin receptor) is a substrate for PR-3

impared down regulation of PAR-1

increased

propensity for platelet activation

PR-3 also modulates coagulation in various other ways

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR)(10131517)

central role in the regulation of haemostatic processes on cell surface

binding of u-PA (urokinase plasminogen activator) to u-PAR converts plasminogen into plasmin

involved in fibrinolysis make it localized pericellularly

GPI-anchored protein

underexpressed on cellular surface in PNH (granulocytes and monocytes)

increased concentrations of soluble uPAR (released from PNH hematopoietic cells)

impaired and displaced fibrinolytic system

Other fibrinolysis parameters

conflicting results

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increased circulating MVs in PNH patients(18)

procoagulant properties of MVs (exposing PS containing TF) have been demonstrated in vitro

complement activation may stimulate the release of procoagulant MVs

no link between clone size and number of MVs

majority of them come from platelets(8)

EMVs levels are also increased in PNH patients with prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotypes(9)

similar level of erythrocyte MVs in vivo but PNH erythrocytes release higher amounts of procoagulant MVs upon complement stimulation in vitro (may suggest rapid clearance from the circulation)(40)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increase of procoagulant activity (fact V fibrinogen fact VIII fact IX fact X and vWF)(10)

positive correlation with clone size

Frequency of congenital thrombophila factors is not increased in PNH(40)

testing for such factors may identify PNH patients at additional risk

its value for treatment decision in PNH is unknown

authors do not recommend routine testing

PNH Risk factors for thrombosis (1-2)

Large WBC clone(4)

clone gt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 345

clone lt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 53

Previous history of thrombosis

Old age (gt55y)

Use of transfusions(3)

Other Elevation of D-dimers

Indications of prophylactic anticoagulation

PNH Treatment of subclinical PNH and AAPNH (47)

Subclinical PNH

no symtoms no treatment

close monitoring (every 6-12 months) because expansion of the clone may occur

PNH associated with aplastic anemia

treatment of the underlying bone marrow failure syndrome (allogenic transplantation immunosuppressive therapy)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH

Eculizumab (Solirisreg Alexion Pharmaceuticals)(6 18 31)

humanized monoclonal antibody

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

blocks the activation of terminal complement C5 and prevents the formation of C5a and C5b-9

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

administration schedule

25-45 min IV infusion

induction dose of 600 mg every 7 days for 4 doses

then 900 mg 7 days later

followed by a maintenance dose of 900 mg every 14 days

vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis at least 14 days prior to receiving eculizumab

05y risk of neisserial sepis (even after vaccination)(34)

revaccinate every 3 to 5 years

medical attention if patient develops signs of neisserial infection

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

TRIUMPH (randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 study)

in transfusion-dependant PNH patients with good bone marrow reserve

reduces hemolysis transfusion requirements

improves anemia fatigue and measures of quality of life

SHEPHERD (open-label phase 3 study)(6)

to investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of eculizumab

97 patients enrolled median age 41 y follow up 52 weeks

8997 pat got a fast response and maintained complete inhibition of hemolysis

efficient

most common adverse events headache nasopharyngitis upper respiratory tract infection

83 of infections possibly related to treatment

44 SAEs (none was considered probably or definely related to treatment)

well tolerated

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

PNH Clinical aspects

Subclinical PNH

clone size lt1

no hemolysis

We find PNH clone in 60 of AA and in 20 of low risk MDS(47)

associated to AA high probability of response to immunosuppressive therapy

associated to low risk MDS (refractory anemia)

less pronounced morphological abnormalities of the blood cells

more severe thrombocytopenia

lower rate of karyotypic abnormalities

higher incidence of HLA-DR15

lower rate of progression to AML

higher probability of reponse to cyclosporine

Hypothesis that aplastic anemia and a subgroup of low risk MDS are immune-mediated diseases

immunity provides the selection pressure that favors the outgrowth of PNH clone

131313enspHypothetical mechanisms for thrombosis in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) The hemostatic balance is maintained by coagulation and fibrinolysis and is influenced by factors derived from the vessel wall and blood cells Several mechanisms have been suggested to determine the direction of the balance towards a prothrombotic state in PNH These include the release of free hemoglobin which activates the endothelium and scavenges nitric oxide (NO) In addition complement‐mediated damage of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐deficient blood cells may result in the release of procoagulant microparticles into the circulation and platelet activation Finally deficiency of GPI‐anchored fibrinolytic factors such as urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (u‐PAR) and anticoagulant factors such as tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and potentially proteinase 3 (PR3) may further disturb the hemostatic balance1313copy This slide is made available for non-commercial use only Please note that permission may be required for re-use of images in which the copyright is owned by a third party

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

CD59 and CD55-deficient platelets

complement can induce platelet activation

one study showed increased adherence of patelets to the abdominal vessels(1)

PNH platelets after MAC (membrane attack complex) stimulation expose more FVa-binding sites and increase thrombin generation more than normal platelets(40)

BUT other studies showed impaired function of PNH platelets (reactive downregulation in response to chronic hyperstimulation)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Endothelial cells(40)

direct toxicity of free hemoglobin released

endothelial precursor cells seem to be bone marrow-derived cells

probable same GPI-anchored proteins deficiency

more susceptible to complement injury

thrombosis in unusual sites

damage resulting from the uptake of monocyte-derived MVs (released from GPI-deficient monocytes upon complement damage)

These MVs contain tissue factor thus increasing TF expression on endothelial cells

increased number of EMVs with a prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotype in PNH

increased levels of endothelial cells activation markers (VWF sVCAM-1)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Possible role of C5a protein

binds to a receptor on granulocytes

recruitement and activation of granulocytes and monocytes (enhanced in GPI-deficient white blood cells)

release of inflammatory molecules

damage the endothelium

TF expression

release of monocyte-derived MVs containing TF

= link between inflammation and thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)

TFPI limits coagulation initiation by inhibiting TF formation

mainly produced by the endothelium of the microvasculature

bound to GPI-anchored protein (definciency in PNH)

loss of TFPI expression has been associated with increased risk of thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Neutrophil proteinase-3 (PR-3)(19)

membrane bound protein co-localized with GPI- anchored neutrophil antigen 2a

absence of neutrophil antigen 2a in PNH leads to loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3

PAR-1 (the predominant human platelet thrombin receptor) is a substrate for PR-3

impared down regulation of PAR-1

increased

propensity for platelet activation

PR-3 also modulates coagulation in various other ways

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR)(10131517)

central role in the regulation of haemostatic processes on cell surface

binding of u-PA (urokinase plasminogen activator) to u-PAR converts plasminogen into plasmin

involved in fibrinolysis make it localized pericellularly

GPI-anchored protein

underexpressed on cellular surface in PNH (granulocytes and monocytes)

increased concentrations of soluble uPAR (released from PNH hematopoietic cells)

impaired and displaced fibrinolytic system

Other fibrinolysis parameters

conflicting results

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increased circulating MVs in PNH patients(18)

procoagulant properties of MVs (exposing PS containing TF) have been demonstrated in vitro

complement activation may stimulate the release of procoagulant MVs

no link between clone size and number of MVs

majority of them come from platelets(8)

EMVs levels are also increased in PNH patients with prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotypes(9)

similar level of erythrocyte MVs in vivo but PNH erythrocytes release higher amounts of procoagulant MVs upon complement stimulation in vitro (may suggest rapid clearance from the circulation)(40)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increase of procoagulant activity (fact V fibrinogen fact VIII fact IX fact X and vWF)(10)

positive correlation with clone size

Frequency of congenital thrombophila factors is not increased in PNH(40)

testing for such factors may identify PNH patients at additional risk

its value for treatment decision in PNH is unknown

authors do not recommend routine testing

PNH Risk factors for thrombosis (1-2)

Large WBC clone(4)

clone gt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 345

clone lt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 53

Previous history of thrombosis

Old age (gt55y)

Use of transfusions(3)

Other Elevation of D-dimers

Indications of prophylactic anticoagulation

PNH Treatment of subclinical PNH and AAPNH (47)

Subclinical PNH

no symtoms no treatment

close monitoring (every 6-12 months) because expansion of the clone may occur

PNH associated with aplastic anemia

treatment of the underlying bone marrow failure syndrome (allogenic transplantation immunosuppressive therapy)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH

Eculizumab (Solirisreg Alexion Pharmaceuticals)(6 18 31)

humanized monoclonal antibody

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

blocks the activation of terminal complement C5 and prevents the formation of C5a and C5b-9

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

administration schedule

25-45 min IV infusion

induction dose of 600 mg every 7 days for 4 doses

then 900 mg 7 days later

followed by a maintenance dose of 900 mg every 14 days

vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis at least 14 days prior to receiving eculizumab

05y risk of neisserial sepis (even after vaccination)(34)

revaccinate every 3 to 5 years

medical attention if patient develops signs of neisserial infection

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

TRIUMPH (randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 study)

in transfusion-dependant PNH patients with good bone marrow reserve

reduces hemolysis transfusion requirements

improves anemia fatigue and measures of quality of life

SHEPHERD (open-label phase 3 study)(6)

to investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of eculizumab

97 patients enrolled median age 41 y follow up 52 weeks

8997 pat got a fast response and maintained complete inhibition of hemolysis

efficient

most common adverse events headache nasopharyngitis upper respiratory tract infection

83 of infections possibly related to treatment

44 SAEs (none was considered probably or definely related to treatment)

well tolerated

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

131313enspHypothetical mechanisms for thrombosis in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) The hemostatic balance is maintained by coagulation and fibrinolysis and is influenced by factors derived from the vessel wall and blood cells Several mechanisms have been suggested to determine the direction of the balance towards a prothrombotic state in PNH These include the release of free hemoglobin which activates the endothelium and scavenges nitric oxide (NO) In addition complement‐mediated damage of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐deficient blood cells may result in the release of procoagulant microparticles into the circulation and platelet activation Finally deficiency of GPI‐anchored fibrinolytic factors such as urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (u‐PAR) and anticoagulant factors such as tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and potentially proteinase 3 (PR3) may further disturb the hemostatic balance1313copy This slide is made available for non-commercial use only Please note that permission may be required for re-use of images in which the copyright is owned by a third party

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

CD59 and CD55-deficient platelets

complement can induce platelet activation

one study showed increased adherence of patelets to the abdominal vessels(1)

PNH platelets after MAC (membrane attack complex) stimulation expose more FVa-binding sites and increase thrombin generation more than normal platelets(40)

BUT other studies showed impaired function of PNH platelets (reactive downregulation in response to chronic hyperstimulation)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Endothelial cells(40)

direct toxicity of free hemoglobin released

endothelial precursor cells seem to be bone marrow-derived cells

probable same GPI-anchored proteins deficiency

more susceptible to complement injury

thrombosis in unusual sites

damage resulting from the uptake of monocyte-derived MVs (released from GPI-deficient monocytes upon complement damage)

These MVs contain tissue factor thus increasing TF expression on endothelial cells

increased number of EMVs with a prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotype in PNH

increased levels of endothelial cells activation markers (VWF sVCAM-1)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Possible role of C5a protein

binds to a receptor on granulocytes

recruitement and activation of granulocytes and monocytes (enhanced in GPI-deficient white blood cells)

release of inflammatory molecules

damage the endothelium

TF expression

release of monocyte-derived MVs containing TF

= link between inflammation and thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)

TFPI limits coagulation initiation by inhibiting TF formation

mainly produced by the endothelium of the microvasculature

bound to GPI-anchored protein (definciency in PNH)

loss of TFPI expression has been associated with increased risk of thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Neutrophil proteinase-3 (PR-3)(19)

membrane bound protein co-localized with GPI- anchored neutrophil antigen 2a

absence of neutrophil antigen 2a in PNH leads to loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3

PAR-1 (the predominant human platelet thrombin receptor) is a substrate for PR-3

impared down regulation of PAR-1

increased

propensity for platelet activation

PR-3 also modulates coagulation in various other ways

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR)(10131517)

central role in the regulation of haemostatic processes on cell surface

binding of u-PA (urokinase plasminogen activator) to u-PAR converts plasminogen into plasmin

involved in fibrinolysis make it localized pericellularly

GPI-anchored protein

underexpressed on cellular surface in PNH (granulocytes and monocytes)

increased concentrations of soluble uPAR (released from PNH hematopoietic cells)

impaired and displaced fibrinolytic system

Other fibrinolysis parameters

conflicting results

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increased circulating MVs in PNH patients(18)

procoagulant properties of MVs (exposing PS containing TF) have been demonstrated in vitro

complement activation may stimulate the release of procoagulant MVs

no link between clone size and number of MVs

majority of them come from platelets(8)

EMVs levels are also increased in PNH patients with prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotypes(9)

similar level of erythrocyte MVs in vivo but PNH erythrocytes release higher amounts of procoagulant MVs upon complement stimulation in vitro (may suggest rapid clearance from the circulation)(40)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increase of procoagulant activity (fact V fibrinogen fact VIII fact IX fact X and vWF)(10)

positive correlation with clone size

Frequency of congenital thrombophila factors is not increased in PNH(40)

testing for such factors may identify PNH patients at additional risk

its value for treatment decision in PNH is unknown

authors do not recommend routine testing

PNH Risk factors for thrombosis (1-2)

Large WBC clone(4)

clone gt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 345

clone lt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 53

Previous history of thrombosis

Old age (gt55y)

Use of transfusions(3)

Other Elevation of D-dimers

Indications of prophylactic anticoagulation

PNH Treatment of subclinical PNH and AAPNH (47)

Subclinical PNH

no symtoms no treatment

close monitoring (every 6-12 months) because expansion of the clone may occur

PNH associated with aplastic anemia

treatment of the underlying bone marrow failure syndrome (allogenic transplantation immunosuppressive therapy)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH

Eculizumab (Solirisreg Alexion Pharmaceuticals)(6 18 31)

humanized monoclonal antibody

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

administration schedule

25-45 min IV infusion

induction dose of 600 mg every 7 days for 4 doses

then 900 mg 7 days later

followed by a maintenance dose of 900 mg every 14 days

vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis at least 14 days prior to receiving eculizumab

05y risk of neisserial sepis (even after vaccination)(34)

revaccinate every 3 to 5 years

medical attention if patient develops signs of neisserial infection

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

TRIUMPH (randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 study)

in transfusion-dependant PNH patients with good bone marrow reserve

reduces hemolysis transfusion requirements

improves anemia fatigue and measures of quality of life

SHEPHERD (open-label phase 3 study)(6)

to investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of eculizumab

97 patients enrolled median age 41 y follow up 52 weeks

8997 pat got a fast response and maintained complete inhibition of hemolysis

efficient

most common adverse events headache nasopharyngitis upper respiratory tract infection

83 of infections possibly related to treatment

44 SAEs (none was considered probably or definely related to treatment)

well tolerated

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

131313enspHypothetical mechanisms for thrombosis in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) The hemostatic balance is maintained by coagulation and fibrinolysis and is influenced by factors derived from the vessel wall and blood cells Several mechanisms have been suggested to determine the direction of the balance towards a prothrombotic state in PNH These include the release of free hemoglobin which activates the endothelium and scavenges nitric oxide (NO) In addition complement‐mediated damage of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐deficient blood cells may result in the release of procoagulant microparticles into the circulation and platelet activation Finally deficiency of GPI‐anchored fibrinolytic factors such as urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (u‐PAR) and anticoagulant factors such as tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and potentially proteinase 3 (PR3) may further disturb the hemostatic balance1313copy This slide is made available for non-commercial use only Please note that permission may be required for re-use of images in which the copyright is owned by a third party

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

CD59 and CD55-deficient platelets

complement can induce platelet activation

one study showed increased adherence of patelets to the abdominal vessels(1)

PNH platelets after MAC (membrane attack complex) stimulation expose more FVa-binding sites and increase thrombin generation more than normal platelets(40)

BUT other studies showed impaired function of PNH platelets (reactive downregulation in response to chronic hyperstimulation)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Endothelial cells(40)

direct toxicity of free hemoglobin released

endothelial precursor cells seem to be bone marrow-derived cells

probable same GPI-anchored proteins deficiency

more susceptible to complement injury

thrombosis in unusual sites

damage resulting from the uptake of monocyte-derived MVs (released from GPI-deficient monocytes upon complement damage)

These MVs contain tissue factor thus increasing TF expression on endothelial cells

increased number of EMVs with a prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotype in PNH

increased levels of endothelial cells activation markers (VWF sVCAM-1)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Possible role of C5a protein

binds to a receptor on granulocytes

recruitement and activation of granulocytes and monocytes (enhanced in GPI-deficient white blood cells)

release of inflammatory molecules

damage the endothelium

TF expression

release of monocyte-derived MVs containing TF

= link between inflammation and thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)

TFPI limits coagulation initiation by inhibiting TF formation

mainly produced by the endothelium of the microvasculature

bound to GPI-anchored protein (definciency in PNH)

loss of TFPI expression has been associated with increased risk of thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Neutrophil proteinase-3 (PR-3)(19)

membrane bound protein co-localized with GPI- anchored neutrophil antigen 2a

absence of neutrophil antigen 2a in PNH leads to loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3

PAR-1 (the predominant human platelet thrombin receptor) is a substrate for PR-3

impared down regulation of PAR-1

increased

propensity for platelet activation

PR-3 also modulates coagulation in various other ways

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR)(10131517)

central role in the regulation of haemostatic processes on cell surface

binding of u-PA (urokinase plasminogen activator) to u-PAR converts plasminogen into plasmin

involved in fibrinolysis make it localized pericellularly

GPI-anchored protein

underexpressed on cellular surface in PNH (granulocytes and monocytes)

increased concentrations of soluble uPAR (released from PNH hematopoietic cells)

impaired and displaced fibrinolytic system

Other fibrinolysis parameters

conflicting results

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increased circulating MVs in PNH patients(18)

procoagulant properties of MVs (exposing PS containing TF) have been demonstrated in vitro

complement activation may stimulate the release of procoagulant MVs

no link between clone size and number of MVs

majority of them come from platelets(8)

EMVs levels are also increased in PNH patients with prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotypes(9)

similar level of erythrocyte MVs in vivo but PNH erythrocytes release higher amounts of procoagulant MVs upon complement stimulation in vitro (may suggest rapid clearance from the circulation)(40)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increase of procoagulant activity (fact V fibrinogen fact VIII fact IX fact X and vWF)(10)

positive correlation with clone size

Frequency of congenital thrombophila factors is not increased in PNH(40)

testing for such factors may identify PNH patients at additional risk

its value for treatment decision in PNH is unknown

authors do not recommend routine testing

PNH Risk factors for thrombosis (1-2)

Large WBC clone(4)

clone gt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 345

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

CD59 and CD55-deficient platelets

complement can induce platelet activation

one study showed increased adherence of patelets to the abdominal vessels(1)

PNH platelets after MAC (membrane attack complex) stimulation expose more FVa-binding sites and increase thrombin generation more than normal platelets(40)

BUT other studies showed impaired function of PNH platelets (reactive downregulation in response to chronic hyperstimulation)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Endothelial cells(40)

direct toxicity of free hemoglobin released

endothelial precursor cells seem to be bone marrow-derived cells

probable same GPI-anchored proteins deficiency

more susceptible to complement injury

thrombosis in unusual sites

damage resulting from the uptake of monocyte-derived MVs (released from GPI-deficient monocytes upon complement damage)

These MVs contain tissue factor thus increasing TF expression on endothelial cells

increased number of EMVs with a prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotype in PNH

increased levels of endothelial cells activation markers (VWF sVCAM-1)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Possible role of C5a protein

binds to a receptor on granulocytes

recruitement and activation of granulocytes and monocytes (enhanced in GPI-deficient white blood cells)

release of inflammatory molecules

damage the endothelium

TF expression

release of monocyte-derived MVs containing TF

= link between inflammation and thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)

TFPI limits coagulation initiation by inhibiting TF formation

mainly produced by the endothelium of the microvasculature

bound to GPI-anchored protein (definciency in PNH)

loss of TFPI expression has been associated with increased risk of thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Neutrophil proteinase-3 (PR-3)(19)

membrane bound protein co-localized with GPI- anchored neutrophil antigen 2a

absence of neutrophil antigen 2a in PNH leads to loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3

PAR-1 (the predominant human platelet thrombin receptor) is a substrate for PR-3

impared down regulation of PAR-1

increased

propensity for platelet activation

PR-3 also modulates coagulation in various other ways

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR)(10131517)

central role in the regulation of haemostatic processes on cell surface

binding of u-PA (urokinase plasminogen activator) to u-PAR converts plasminogen into plasmin

involved in fibrinolysis make it localized pericellularly

GPI-anchored protein

underexpressed on cellular surface in PNH (granulocytes and monocytes)

increased concentrations of soluble uPAR (released from PNH hematopoietic cells)

impaired and displaced fibrinolytic system

Other fibrinolysis parameters

conflicting results

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increased circulating MVs in PNH patients(18)

procoagulant properties of MVs (exposing PS containing TF) have been demonstrated in vitro

complement activation may stimulate the release of procoagulant MVs

no link between clone size and number of MVs

majority of them come from platelets(8)

EMVs levels are also increased in PNH patients with prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotypes(9)

similar level of erythrocyte MVs in vivo but PNH erythrocytes release higher amounts of procoagulant MVs upon complement stimulation in vitro (may suggest rapid clearance from the circulation)(40)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increase of procoagulant activity (fact V fibrinogen fact VIII fact IX fact X and vWF)(10)

positive correlation with clone size

Frequency of congenital thrombophila factors is not increased in PNH(40)

testing for such factors may identify PNH patients at additional risk

its value for treatment decision in PNH is unknown

authors do not recommend routine testing

97 patients enrolled median age 41 y follow up 52 weeks

8997 pat got a fast response and maintained complete inhibition of hemolysis

efficient

most common adverse events headache nasopharyngitis upper respiratory tract infection

83 of infections possibly related to treatment

44 SAEs (none was considered probably or definely related to treatment)

well tolerated

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

131313enspHypothetical mechanisms for thrombosis in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) The hemostatic balance is maintained by coagulation and fibrinolysis and is influenced by factors derived from the vessel wall and blood cells Several mechanisms have been suggested to determine the direction of the balance towards a prothrombotic state in PNH These include the release of free hemoglobin which activates the endothelium and scavenges nitric oxide (NO) In addition complement‐mediated damage of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐deficient blood cells may result in the release of procoagulant microparticles into the circulation and platelet activation Finally deficiency of GPI‐anchored fibrinolytic factors such as urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (u‐PAR) and anticoagulant factors such as tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and potentially proteinase 3 (PR3) may further disturb the hemostatic balance1313copy This slide is made available for non-commercial use only Please note that permission may be required for re-use of images in which the copyright is owned by a third party

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

CD59 and CD55-deficient platelets

complement can induce platelet activation

one study showed increased adherence of patelets to the abdominal vessels(1)

PNH platelets after MAC (membrane attack complex) stimulation expose more FVa-binding sites and increase thrombin generation more than normal platelets(40)

BUT other studies showed impaired function of PNH platelets (reactive downregulation in response to chronic hyperstimulation)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Endothelial cells(40)

direct toxicity of free hemoglobin released

endothelial precursor cells seem to be bone marrow-derived cells

probable same GPI-anchored proteins deficiency

more susceptible to complement injury

thrombosis in unusual sites

damage resulting from the uptake of monocyte-derived MVs (released from GPI-deficient monocytes upon complement damage)

These MVs contain tissue factor thus increasing TF expression on endothelial cells

increased number of EMVs with a prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotype in PNH

increased levels of endothelial cells activation markers (VWF sVCAM-1)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Possible role of C5a protein

binds to a receptor on granulocytes

recruitement and activation of granulocytes and monocytes (enhanced in GPI-deficient white blood cells)

release of inflammatory molecules

damage the endothelium

TF expression

release of monocyte-derived MVs containing TF

= link between inflammation and thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)

TFPI limits coagulation initiation by inhibiting TF formation

mainly produced by the endothelium of the microvasculature

bound to GPI-anchored protein (definciency in PNH)

loss of TFPI expression has been associated with increased risk of thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Neutrophil proteinase-3 (PR-3)(19)

membrane bound protein co-localized with GPI- anchored neutrophil antigen 2a

absence of neutrophil antigen 2a in PNH leads to loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3

PAR-1 (the predominant human platelet thrombin receptor) is a substrate for PR-3

impared down regulation of PAR-1

increased

propensity for platelet activation

PR-3 also modulates coagulation in various other ways

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR)(10131517)

central role in the regulation of haemostatic processes on cell surface

binding of u-PA (urokinase plasminogen activator) to u-PAR converts plasminogen into plasmin

involved in fibrinolysis make it localized pericellularly

GPI-anchored protein

underexpressed on cellular surface in PNH (granulocytes and monocytes)

increased concentrations of soluble uPAR (released from PNH hematopoietic cells)

impaired and displaced fibrinolytic system

Other fibrinolysis parameters

conflicting results

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increased circulating MVs in PNH patients(18)

procoagulant properties of MVs (exposing PS containing TF) have been demonstrated in vitro

complement activation may stimulate the release of procoagulant MVs

no link between clone size and number of MVs

majority of them come from platelets(8)

EMVs levels are also increased in PNH patients with prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotypes(9)

similar level of erythrocyte MVs in vivo but PNH erythrocytes release higher amounts of procoagulant MVs upon complement stimulation in vitro (may suggest rapid clearance from the circulation)(40)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increase of procoagulant activity (fact V fibrinogen fact VIII fact IX fact X and vWF)(10)

positive correlation with clone size

Frequency of congenital thrombophila factors is not increased in PNH(40)

testing for such factors may identify PNH patients at additional risk

its value for treatment decision in PNH is unknown

authors do not recommend routine testing

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

131313enspHypothetical mechanisms for thrombosis in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) The hemostatic balance is maintained by coagulation and fibrinolysis and is influenced by factors derived from the vessel wall and blood cells Several mechanisms have been suggested to determine the direction of the balance towards a prothrombotic state in PNH These include the release of free hemoglobin which activates the endothelium and scavenges nitric oxide (NO) In addition complement‐mediated damage of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐deficient blood cells may result in the release of procoagulant microparticles into the circulation and platelet activation Finally deficiency of GPI‐anchored fibrinolytic factors such as urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (u‐PAR) and anticoagulant factors such as tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and potentially proteinase 3 (PR3) may further disturb the hemostatic balance1313copy This slide is made available for non-commercial use only Please note that permission may be required for re-use of images in which the copyright is owned by a third party

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

CD59 and CD55-deficient platelets

complement can induce platelet activation

one study showed increased adherence of patelets to the abdominal vessels(1)

PNH platelets after MAC (membrane attack complex) stimulation expose more FVa-binding sites and increase thrombin generation more than normal platelets(40)

BUT other studies showed impaired function of PNH platelets (reactive downregulation in response to chronic hyperstimulation)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Endothelial cells(40)

direct toxicity of free hemoglobin released

endothelial precursor cells seem to be bone marrow-derived cells

probable same GPI-anchored proteins deficiency

more susceptible to complement injury

thrombosis in unusual sites

damage resulting from the uptake of monocyte-derived MVs (released from GPI-deficient monocytes upon complement damage)

These MVs contain tissue factor thus increasing TF expression on endothelial cells

increased number of EMVs with a prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotype in PNH

increased levels of endothelial cells activation markers (VWF sVCAM-1)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Possible role of C5a protein

binds to a receptor on granulocytes

recruitement and activation of granulocytes and monocytes (enhanced in GPI-deficient white blood cells)

release of inflammatory molecules

damage the endothelium

TF expression

release of monocyte-derived MVs containing TF

= link between inflammation and thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)

TFPI limits coagulation initiation by inhibiting TF formation

mainly produced by the endothelium of the microvasculature

bound to GPI-anchored protein (definciency in PNH)

loss of TFPI expression has been associated with increased risk of thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Neutrophil proteinase-3 (PR-3)(19)

membrane bound protein co-localized with GPI- anchored neutrophil antigen 2a

absence of neutrophil antigen 2a in PNH leads to loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3

PAR-1 (the predominant human platelet thrombin receptor) is a substrate for PR-3

impared down regulation of PAR-1

increased

propensity for platelet activation

PR-3 also modulates coagulation in various other ways

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR)(10131517)

central role in the regulation of haemostatic processes on cell surface

binding of u-PA (urokinase plasminogen activator) to u-PAR converts plasminogen into plasmin

involved in fibrinolysis make it localized pericellularly

GPI-anchored protein

underexpressed on cellular surface in PNH (granulocytes and monocytes)

increased concentrations of soluble uPAR (released from PNH hematopoietic cells)

impaired and displaced fibrinolytic system

Other fibrinolysis parameters

conflicting results

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increased circulating MVs in PNH patients(18)

procoagulant properties of MVs (exposing PS containing TF) have been demonstrated in vitro

complement activation may stimulate the release of procoagulant MVs

no link between clone size and number of MVs

majority of them come from platelets(8)

EMVs levels are also increased in PNH patients with prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotypes(9)

similar level of erythrocyte MVs in vivo but PNH erythrocytes release higher amounts of procoagulant MVs upon complement stimulation in vitro (may suggest rapid clearance from the circulation)(40)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increase of procoagulant activity (fact V fibrinogen fact VIII fact IX fact X and vWF)(10)

positive correlation with clone size

Frequency of congenital thrombophila factors is not increased in PNH(40)

testing for such factors may identify PNH patients at additional risk

its value for treatment decision in PNH is unknown

authors do not recommend routine testing

PNH Risk factors for thrombosis (1-2)

Large WBC clone(4)

clone gt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 345

clone lt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 53

Previous history of thrombosis

Old age (gt55y)

Use of transfusions(3)

Other Elevation of D-dimers

Indications of prophylactic anticoagulation

PNH Treatment of subclinical PNH and AAPNH (47)

Subclinical PNH

no symtoms no treatment

close monitoring (every 6-12 months) because expansion of the clone may occur

PNH associated with aplastic anemia

treatment of the underlying bone marrow failure syndrome (allogenic transplantation immunosuppressive therapy)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH

Eculizumab (Solirisreg Alexion Pharmaceuticals)(6 18 31)

medical attention if patient develops signs of neisserial infection

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

TRIUMPH (randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 study)

in transfusion-dependant PNH patients with good bone marrow reserve

reduces hemolysis transfusion requirements

improves anemia fatigue and measures of quality of life

SHEPHERD (open-label phase 3 study)(6)

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

131313enspHypothetical mechanisms for thrombosis in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) The hemostatic balance is maintained by coagulation and fibrinolysis and is influenced by factors derived from the vessel wall and blood cells Several mechanisms have been suggested to determine the direction of the balance towards a prothrombotic state in PNH These include the release of free hemoglobin which activates the endothelium and scavenges nitric oxide (NO) In addition complement‐mediated damage of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐deficient blood cells may result in the release of procoagulant microparticles into the circulation and platelet activation Finally deficiency of GPI‐anchored fibrinolytic factors such as urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (u‐PAR) and anticoagulant factors such as tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and potentially proteinase 3 (PR3) may further disturb the hemostatic balance1313copy This slide is made available for non-commercial use only Please note that permission may be required for re-use of images in which the copyright is owned by a third party

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

CD59 and CD55-deficient platelets

complement can induce platelet activation

one study showed increased adherence of patelets to the abdominal vessels(1)

PNH platelets after MAC (membrane attack complex) stimulation expose more FVa-binding sites and increase thrombin generation more than normal platelets(40)

BUT other studies showed impaired function of PNH platelets (reactive downregulation in response to chronic hyperstimulation)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Endothelial cells(40)

direct toxicity of free hemoglobin released

endothelial precursor cells seem to be bone marrow-derived cells

probable same GPI-anchored proteins deficiency

more susceptible to complement injury

thrombosis in unusual sites

damage resulting from the uptake of monocyte-derived MVs (released from GPI-deficient monocytes upon complement damage)

These MVs contain tissue factor thus increasing TF expression on endothelial cells

increased number of EMVs with a prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotype in PNH

increased levels of endothelial cells activation markers (VWF sVCAM-1)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Possible role of C5a protein

binds to a receptor on granulocytes

recruitement and activation of granulocytes and monocytes (enhanced in GPI-deficient white blood cells)

release of inflammatory molecules

damage the endothelium

TF expression

release of monocyte-derived MVs containing TF

= link between inflammation and thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)

TFPI limits coagulation initiation by inhibiting TF formation

mainly produced by the endothelium of the microvasculature

bound to GPI-anchored protein (definciency in PNH)

loss of TFPI expression has been associated with increased risk of thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Neutrophil proteinase-3 (PR-3)(19)

membrane bound protein co-localized with GPI- anchored neutrophil antigen 2a

absence of neutrophil antigen 2a in PNH leads to loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3

PAR-1 (the predominant human platelet thrombin receptor) is a substrate for PR-3

impared down regulation of PAR-1

increased

propensity for platelet activation

PR-3 also modulates coagulation in various other ways

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR)(10131517)

central role in the regulation of haemostatic processes on cell surface

binding of u-PA (urokinase plasminogen activator) to u-PAR converts plasminogen into plasmin

involved in fibrinolysis make it localized pericellularly

GPI-anchored protein

underexpressed on cellular surface in PNH (granulocytes and monocytes)

increased concentrations of soluble uPAR (released from PNH hematopoietic cells)

impaired and displaced fibrinolytic system

Other fibrinolysis parameters

conflicting results

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increased circulating MVs in PNH patients(18)

procoagulant properties of MVs (exposing PS containing TF) have been demonstrated in vitro

complement activation may stimulate the release of procoagulant MVs

no link between clone size and number of MVs

majority of them come from platelets(8)

EMVs levels are also increased in PNH patients with prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotypes(9)

similar level of erythrocyte MVs in vivo but PNH erythrocytes release higher amounts of procoagulant MVs upon complement stimulation in vitro (may suggest rapid clearance from the circulation)(40)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increase of procoagulant activity (fact V fibrinogen fact VIII fact IX fact X and vWF)(10)

positive correlation with clone size

Frequency of congenital thrombophila factors is not increased in PNH(40)

testing for such factors may identify PNH patients at additional risk

its value for treatment decision in PNH is unknown

authors do not recommend routine testing

PNH Risk factors for thrombosis (1-2)

Large WBC clone(4)

clone gt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 345

clone lt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 53

Previous history of thrombosis

Old age (gt55y)

Use of transfusions(3)

Other Elevation of D-dimers

Indications of prophylactic anticoagulation

PNH Treatment of subclinical PNH and AAPNH (47)

Subclinical PNH

no symtoms no treatment

close monitoring (every 6-12 months) because expansion of the clone may occur

PNH associated with aplastic anemia

treatment of the underlying bone marrow failure syndrome (allogenic transplantation immunosuppressive therapy)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH

Eculizumab (Solirisreg Alexion Pharmaceuticals)(6 18 31)

humanized monoclonal antibody

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

blocks the activation of terminal complement C5 and prevents the formation of C5a and C5b-9

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

administration schedule

25-45 min IV infusion

induction dose of 600 mg every 7 days for 4 doses

then 900 mg 7 days later

followed by a maintenance dose of 900 mg every 14 days

vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis at least 14 days prior to receiving eculizumab

05y risk of neisserial sepis (even after vaccination)(34)

revaccinate every 3 to 5 years

medical attention if patient develops signs of neisserial infection

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

TRIUMPH (randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 study)

in transfusion-dependant PNH patients with good bone marrow reserve

reduces hemolysis transfusion requirements

improves anemia fatigue and measures of quality of life

SHEPHERD (open-label phase 3 study)(6)

to investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of eculizumab

97 patients enrolled median age 41 y follow up 52 weeks

8997 pat got a fast response and maintained complete inhibition of hemolysis

efficient

most common adverse events headache nasopharyngitis upper respiratory tract infection

83 of infections possibly related to treatment

44 SAEs (none was considered probably or definely related to treatment)

well tolerated

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

CD59 and CD55-deficient platelets

complement can induce platelet activation

one study showed increased adherence of patelets to the abdominal vessels(1)

PNH platelets after MAC (membrane attack complex) stimulation expose more FVa-binding sites and increase thrombin generation more than normal platelets(40)

BUT other studies showed impaired function of PNH platelets (reactive downregulation in response to chronic hyperstimulation)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Endothelial cells(40)

direct toxicity of free hemoglobin released

endothelial precursor cells seem to be bone marrow-derived cells

probable same GPI-anchored proteins deficiency

more susceptible to complement injury

thrombosis in unusual sites

damage resulting from the uptake of monocyte-derived MVs (released from GPI-deficient monocytes upon complement damage)

These MVs contain tissue factor thus increasing TF expression on endothelial cells

increased number of EMVs with a prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotype in PNH

increased levels of endothelial cells activation markers (VWF sVCAM-1)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Possible role of C5a protein

binds to a receptor on granulocytes

recruitement and activation of granulocytes and monocytes (enhanced in GPI-deficient white blood cells)

release of inflammatory molecules

damage the endothelium

TF expression

release of monocyte-derived MVs containing TF

= link between inflammation and thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)

TFPI limits coagulation initiation by inhibiting TF formation

mainly produced by the endothelium of the microvasculature

bound to GPI-anchored protein (definciency in PNH)

loss of TFPI expression has been associated with increased risk of thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Neutrophil proteinase-3 (PR-3)(19)

membrane bound protein co-localized with GPI- anchored neutrophil antigen 2a

absence of neutrophil antigen 2a in PNH leads to loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3

PAR-1 (the predominant human platelet thrombin receptor) is a substrate for PR-3

impared down regulation of PAR-1

increased

propensity for platelet activation

PR-3 also modulates coagulation in various other ways

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR)(10131517)

central role in the regulation of haemostatic processes on cell surface

binding of u-PA (urokinase plasminogen activator) to u-PAR converts plasminogen into plasmin

involved in fibrinolysis make it localized pericellularly

GPI-anchored protein

underexpressed on cellular surface in PNH (granulocytes and monocytes)

increased concentrations of soluble uPAR (released from PNH hematopoietic cells)

impaired and displaced fibrinolytic system

Other fibrinolysis parameters

conflicting results

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increased circulating MVs in PNH patients(18)

procoagulant properties of MVs (exposing PS containing TF) have been demonstrated in vitro

complement activation may stimulate the release of procoagulant MVs

no link between clone size and number of MVs

majority of them come from platelets(8)

EMVs levels are also increased in PNH patients with prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotypes(9)

similar level of erythrocyte MVs in vivo but PNH erythrocytes release higher amounts of procoagulant MVs upon complement stimulation in vitro (may suggest rapid clearance from the circulation)(40)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increase of procoagulant activity (fact V fibrinogen fact VIII fact IX fact X and vWF)(10)

positive correlation with clone size

Frequency of congenital thrombophila factors is not increased in PNH(40)

testing for such factors may identify PNH patients at additional risk

its value for treatment decision in PNH is unknown

authors do not recommend routine testing

PNH Risk factors for thrombosis (1-2)

Large WBC clone(4)

clone gt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 345

clone lt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 53

Previous history of thrombosis

Old age (gt55y)

Use of transfusions(3)

Other Elevation of D-dimers

Indications of prophylactic anticoagulation

PNH Treatment of subclinical PNH and AAPNH (47)

Subclinical PNH

no symtoms no treatment

close monitoring (every 6-12 months) because expansion of the clone may occur

PNH associated with aplastic anemia

treatment of the underlying bone marrow failure syndrome (allogenic transplantation immunosuppressive therapy)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH

Eculizumab (Solirisreg Alexion Pharmaceuticals)(6 18 31)

humanized monoclonal antibody

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

blocks the activation of terminal complement C5 and prevents the formation of C5a and C5b-9

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

administration schedule

25-45 min IV infusion

induction dose of 600 mg every 7 days for 4 doses

then 900 mg 7 days later

followed by a maintenance dose of 900 mg every 14 days

vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis at least 14 days prior to receiving eculizumab

05y risk of neisserial sepis (even after vaccination)(34)

revaccinate every 3 to 5 years

medical attention if patient develops signs of neisserial infection

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

TRIUMPH (randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 study)

in transfusion-dependant PNH patients with good bone marrow reserve

reduces hemolysis transfusion requirements

improves anemia fatigue and measures of quality of life

SHEPHERD (open-label phase 3 study)(6)

to investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of eculizumab

97 patients enrolled median age 41 y follow up 52 weeks

8997 pat got a fast response and maintained complete inhibition of hemolysis

efficient

most common adverse events headache nasopharyngitis upper respiratory tract infection

83 of infections possibly related to treatment

44 SAEs (none was considered probably or definely related to treatment)

well tolerated

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Endothelial cells(40)

direct toxicity of free hemoglobin released

endothelial precursor cells seem to be bone marrow-derived cells

probable same GPI-anchored proteins deficiency

more susceptible to complement injury

thrombosis in unusual sites

damage resulting from the uptake of monocyte-derived MVs (released from GPI-deficient monocytes upon complement damage)

These MVs contain tissue factor thus increasing TF expression on endothelial cells

increased number of EMVs with a prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotype in PNH

increased levels of endothelial cells activation markers (VWF sVCAM-1)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Possible role of C5a protein

binds to a receptor on granulocytes

recruitement and activation of granulocytes and monocytes (enhanced in GPI-deficient white blood cells)

release of inflammatory molecules

damage the endothelium

TF expression

release of monocyte-derived MVs containing TF

= link between inflammation and thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)

TFPI limits coagulation initiation by inhibiting TF formation

mainly produced by the endothelium of the microvasculature

bound to GPI-anchored protein (definciency in PNH)

loss of TFPI expression has been associated with increased risk of thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Neutrophil proteinase-3 (PR-3)(19)

membrane bound protein co-localized with GPI- anchored neutrophil antigen 2a

absence of neutrophil antigen 2a in PNH leads to loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3

PAR-1 (the predominant human platelet thrombin receptor) is a substrate for PR-3

impared down regulation of PAR-1

increased

propensity for platelet activation

PR-3 also modulates coagulation in various other ways

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR)(10131517)

central role in the regulation of haemostatic processes on cell surface

binding of u-PA (urokinase plasminogen activator) to u-PAR converts plasminogen into plasmin

involved in fibrinolysis make it localized pericellularly

GPI-anchored protein

underexpressed on cellular surface in PNH (granulocytes and monocytes)

increased concentrations of soluble uPAR (released from PNH hematopoietic cells)

impaired and displaced fibrinolytic system

Other fibrinolysis parameters

conflicting results

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increased circulating MVs in PNH patients(18)

procoagulant properties of MVs (exposing PS containing TF) have been demonstrated in vitro

complement activation may stimulate the release of procoagulant MVs

no link between clone size and number of MVs

majority of them come from platelets(8)

EMVs levels are also increased in PNH patients with prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotypes(9)

similar level of erythrocyte MVs in vivo but PNH erythrocytes release higher amounts of procoagulant MVs upon complement stimulation in vitro (may suggest rapid clearance from the circulation)(40)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increase of procoagulant activity (fact V fibrinogen fact VIII fact IX fact X and vWF)(10)

positive correlation with clone size

Frequency of congenital thrombophila factors is not increased in PNH(40)

testing for such factors may identify PNH patients at additional risk

its value for treatment decision in PNH is unknown

authors do not recommend routine testing

PNH Risk factors for thrombosis (1-2)

Large WBC clone(4)

clone gt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 345

clone lt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 53

Previous history of thrombosis

Old age (gt55y)

Use of transfusions(3)

Other Elevation of D-dimers

Indications of prophylactic anticoagulation

PNH Treatment of subclinical PNH and AAPNH (47)

Subclinical PNH

no symtoms no treatment

close monitoring (every 6-12 months) because expansion of the clone may occur

PNH associated with aplastic anemia

treatment of the underlying bone marrow failure syndrome (allogenic transplantation immunosuppressive therapy)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH

Eculizumab (Solirisreg Alexion Pharmaceuticals)(6 18 31)

humanized monoclonal antibody

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

blocks the activation of terminal complement C5 and prevents the formation of C5a and C5b-9

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

administration schedule

25-45 min IV infusion

induction dose of 600 mg every 7 days for 4 doses

then 900 mg 7 days later

followed by a maintenance dose of 900 mg every 14 days

vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis at least 14 days prior to receiving eculizumab

05y risk of neisserial sepis (even after vaccination)(34)

revaccinate every 3 to 5 years

medical attention if patient develops signs of neisserial infection

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

TRIUMPH (randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 study)

in transfusion-dependant PNH patients with good bone marrow reserve

reduces hemolysis transfusion requirements

improves anemia fatigue and measures of quality of life

SHEPHERD (open-label phase 3 study)(6)

to investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of eculizumab

97 patients enrolled median age 41 y follow up 52 weeks

8997 pat got a fast response and maintained complete inhibition of hemolysis

efficient

most common adverse events headache nasopharyngitis upper respiratory tract infection

83 of infections possibly related to treatment

44 SAEs (none was considered probably or definely related to treatment)

well tolerated

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)

TFPI limits coagulation initiation by inhibiting TF formation

mainly produced by the endothelium of the microvasculature

bound to GPI-anchored protein (definciency in PNH)

loss of TFPI expression has been associated with increased risk of thrombosis

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Neutrophil proteinase-3 (PR-3)(19)

membrane bound protein co-localized with GPI- anchored neutrophil antigen 2a

absence of neutrophil antigen 2a in PNH leads to loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3

PAR-1 (the predominant human platelet thrombin receptor) is a substrate for PR-3

impared down regulation of PAR-1

increased

propensity for platelet activation

PR-3 also modulates coagulation in various other ways

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR)(10131517)

central role in the regulation of haemostatic processes on cell surface

binding of u-PA (urokinase plasminogen activator) to u-PAR converts plasminogen into plasmin

involved in fibrinolysis make it localized pericellularly

GPI-anchored protein

underexpressed on cellular surface in PNH (granulocytes and monocytes)

increased concentrations of soluble uPAR (released from PNH hematopoietic cells)

impaired and displaced fibrinolytic system

Other fibrinolysis parameters

conflicting results

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increased circulating MVs in PNH patients(18)

procoagulant properties of MVs (exposing PS containing TF) have been demonstrated in vitro

complement activation may stimulate the release of procoagulant MVs

no link between clone size and number of MVs

majority of them come from platelets(8)

EMVs levels are also increased in PNH patients with prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotypes(9)

similar level of erythrocyte MVs in vivo but PNH erythrocytes release higher amounts of procoagulant MVs upon complement stimulation in vitro (may suggest rapid clearance from the circulation)(40)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increase of procoagulant activity (fact V fibrinogen fact VIII fact IX fact X and vWF)(10)

positive correlation with clone size

Frequency of congenital thrombophila factors is not increased in PNH(40)

testing for such factors may identify PNH patients at additional risk

its value for treatment decision in PNH is unknown

authors do not recommend routine testing

PNH Risk factors for thrombosis (1-2)

Large WBC clone(4)

clone gt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 345

clone lt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 53

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Neutrophil proteinase-3 (PR-3)(19)

membrane bound protein co-localized with GPI- anchored neutrophil antigen 2a

absence of neutrophil antigen 2a in PNH leads to loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3

PAR-1 (the predominant human platelet thrombin receptor) is a substrate for PR-3

impared down regulation of PAR-1

increased

propensity for platelet activation

PR-3 also modulates coagulation in various other ways

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR)(10131517)

central role in the regulation of haemostatic processes on cell surface

binding of u-PA (urokinase plasminogen activator) to u-PAR converts plasminogen into plasmin

involved in fibrinolysis make it localized pericellularly

GPI-anchored protein

underexpressed on cellular surface in PNH (granulocytes and monocytes)

increased concentrations of soluble uPAR (released from PNH hematopoietic cells)

impaired and displaced fibrinolytic system

Other fibrinolysis parameters

conflicting results

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increased circulating MVs in PNH patients(18)

procoagulant properties of MVs (exposing PS containing TF) have been demonstrated in vitro

complement activation may stimulate the release of procoagulant MVs

no link between clone size and number of MVs

majority of them come from platelets(8)

EMVs levels are also increased in PNH patients with prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotypes(9)

similar level of erythrocyte MVs in vivo but PNH erythrocytes release higher amounts of procoagulant MVs upon complement stimulation in vitro (may suggest rapid clearance from the circulation)(40)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increase of procoagulant activity (fact V fibrinogen fact VIII fact IX fact X and vWF)(10)

positive correlation with clone size

Frequency of congenital thrombophila factors is not increased in PNH(40)

testing for such factors may identify PNH patients at additional risk

its value for treatment decision in PNH is unknown

authors do not recommend routine testing

PNH Risk factors for thrombosis (1-2)

Large WBC clone(4)

clone gt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 345

clone lt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 53

Previous history of thrombosis

Old age (gt55y)

Use of transfusions(3)

Other Elevation of D-dimers

Indications of prophylactic anticoagulation

PNH Treatment of subclinical PNH and AAPNH (47)

Subclinical PNH

no symtoms no treatment

close monitoring (every 6-12 months) because expansion of the clone may occur

PNH associated with aplastic anemia

treatment of the underlying bone marrow failure syndrome (allogenic transplantation immunosuppressive therapy)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH

Eculizumab (Solirisreg Alexion Pharmaceuticals)(6 18 31)

humanized monoclonal antibody

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

blocks the activation of terminal complement C5 and prevents the formation of C5a and C5b-9

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

administration schedule

25-45 min IV infusion

induction dose of 600 mg every 7 days for 4 doses

then 900 mg 7 days later

followed by a maintenance dose of 900 mg every 14 days

vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis at least 14 days prior to receiving eculizumab

05y risk of neisserial sepis (even after vaccination)(34)

revaccinate every 3 to 5 years

medical attention if patient develops signs of neisserial infection

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

TRIUMPH (randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 study)

in transfusion-dependant PNH patients with good bone marrow reserve

reduces hemolysis transfusion requirements

improves anemia fatigue and measures of quality of life

SHEPHERD (open-label phase 3 study)(6)

to investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of eculizumab

97 patients enrolled median age 41 y follow up 52 weeks

8997 pat got a fast response and maintained complete inhibition of hemolysis

efficient

most common adverse events headache nasopharyngitis upper respiratory tract infection

83 of infections possibly related to treatment

44 SAEs (none was considered probably or definely related to treatment)

well tolerated

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (u-PAR)(10131517)

central role in the regulation of haemostatic processes on cell surface

binding of u-PA (urokinase plasminogen activator) to u-PAR converts plasminogen into plasmin

involved in fibrinolysis make it localized pericellularly

GPI-anchored protein

underexpressed on cellular surface in PNH (granulocytes and monocytes)

increased concentrations of soluble uPAR (released from PNH hematopoietic cells)

impaired and displaced fibrinolytic system

Other fibrinolysis parameters

conflicting results

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increased circulating MVs in PNH patients(18)

procoagulant properties of MVs (exposing PS containing TF) have been demonstrated in vitro

complement activation may stimulate the release of procoagulant MVs

no link between clone size and number of MVs

majority of them come from platelets(8)

EMVs levels are also increased in PNH patients with prothrombotic and proinflammatory phenotypes(9)

similar level of erythrocyte MVs in vivo but PNH erythrocytes release higher amounts of procoagulant MVs upon complement stimulation in vitro (may suggest rapid clearance from the circulation)(40)

PNH Pathophysiology of thrombosis

Increase of procoagulant activity (fact V fibrinogen fact VIII fact IX fact X and vWF)(10)

positive correlation with clone size

Frequency of congenital thrombophila factors is not increased in PNH(40)

testing for such factors may identify PNH patients at additional risk

its value for treatment decision in PNH is unknown

authors do not recommend routine testing

PNH Risk factors for thrombosis (1-2)

Large WBC clone(4)

clone gt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 345

clone lt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 53

Previous history of thrombosis

Old age (gt55y)

Use of transfusions(3)

Other Elevation of D-dimers

Indications of prophylactic anticoagulation

PNH Treatment of subclinical PNH and AAPNH (47)

Subclinical PNH

no symtoms no treatment

close monitoring (every 6-12 months) because expansion of the clone may occur

PNH associated with aplastic anemia

treatment of the underlying bone marrow failure syndrome (allogenic transplantation immunosuppressive therapy)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH

Eculizumab (Solirisreg Alexion Pharmaceuticals)(6 18 31)

humanized monoclonal antibody

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

blocks the activation of terminal complement C5 and prevents the formation of C5a and C5b-9

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

administration schedule

25-45 min IV infusion

induction dose of 600 mg every 7 days for 4 doses

then 900 mg 7 days later

followed by a maintenance dose of 900 mg every 14 days

vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis at least 14 days prior to receiving eculizumab

05y risk of neisserial sepis (even after vaccination)(34)

revaccinate every 3 to 5 years

medical attention if patient develops signs of neisserial infection

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

TRIUMPH (randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 study)

in transfusion-dependant PNH patients with good bone marrow reserve

reduces hemolysis transfusion requirements

improves anemia fatigue and measures of quality of life

SHEPHERD (open-label phase 3 study)(6)

to investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of eculizumab

97 patients enrolled median age 41 y follow up 52 weeks

8997 pat got a fast response and maintained complete inhibition of hemolysis

efficient

most common adverse events headache nasopharyngitis upper respiratory tract infection

83 of infections possibly related to treatment

44 SAEs (none was considered probably or definely related to treatment)

well tolerated

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

PNH Risk factors for thrombosis (1-2)

Large WBC clone(4)

clone gt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 345

clone lt50 10y cumulative incidence of thrombosis = 53

Previous history of thrombosis

Old age (gt55y)

Use of transfusions(3)

Other Elevation of D-dimers

Indications of prophylactic anticoagulation

PNH Treatment of subclinical PNH and AAPNH (47)

Subclinical PNH

no symtoms no treatment

close monitoring (every 6-12 months) because expansion of the clone may occur

PNH associated with aplastic anemia

treatment of the underlying bone marrow failure syndrome (allogenic transplantation immunosuppressive therapy)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH

Eculizumab (Solirisreg Alexion Pharmaceuticals)(6 18 31)

humanized monoclonal antibody

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

blocks the activation of terminal complement C5 and prevents the formation of C5a and C5b-9

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

administration schedule

25-45 min IV infusion

induction dose of 600 mg every 7 days for 4 doses

then 900 mg 7 days later

followed by a maintenance dose of 900 mg every 14 days

vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis at least 14 days prior to receiving eculizumab

05y risk of neisserial sepis (even after vaccination)(34)

revaccinate every 3 to 5 years

medical attention if patient develops signs of neisserial infection

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

TRIUMPH (randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 study)

in transfusion-dependant PNH patients with good bone marrow reserve

reduces hemolysis transfusion requirements

improves anemia fatigue and measures of quality of life

SHEPHERD (open-label phase 3 study)(6)

to investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of eculizumab

97 patients enrolled median age 41 y follow up 52 weeks

8997 pat got a fast response and maintained complete inhibition of hemolysis

efficient

most common adverse events headache nasopharyngitis upper respiratory tract infection

83 of infections possibly related to treatment

44 SAEs (none was considered probably or definely related to treatment)

well tolerated

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

blocks the activation of terminal complement C5 and prevents the formation of C5a and C5b-9

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

administration schedule

25-45 min IV infusion

induction dose of 600 mg every 7 days for 4 doses

then 900 mg 7 days later

followed by a maintenance dose of 900 mg every 14 days

vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis at least 14 days prior to receiving eculizumab

05y risk of neisserial sepis (even after vaccination)(34)

revaccinate every 3 to 5 years

medical attention if patient develops signs of neisserial infection

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

TRIUMPH (randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 study)

in transfusion-dependant PNH patients with good bone marrow reserve

reduces hemolysis transfusion requirements

improves anemia fatigue and measures of quality of life

SHEPHERD (open-label phase 3 study)(6)

to investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of eculizumab

97 patients enrolled median age 41 y follow up 52 weeks

8997 pat got a fast response and maintained complete inhibition of hemolysis

efficient

most common adverse events headache nasopharyngitis upper respiratory tract infection

83 of infections possibly related to treatment

44 SAEs (none was considered probably or definely related to treatment)

well tolerated

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

administration schedule

25-45 min IV infusion

induction dose of 600 mg every 7 days for 4 doses

then 900 mg 7 days later

followed by a maintenance dose of 900 mg every 14 days

vaccination against Neisseria meningitidis at least 14 days prior to receiving eculizumab

05y risk of neisserial sepis (even after vaccination)(34)

revaccinate every 3 to 5 years

medical attention if patient develops signs of neisserial infection

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

TRIUMPH (randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 study)

in transfusion-dependant PNH patients with good bone marrow reserve

reduces hemolysis transfusion requirements

improves anemia fatigue and measures of quality of life

SHEPHERD (open-label phase 3 study)(6)

to investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of eculizumab

97 patients enrolled median age 41 y follow up 52 weeks

8997 pat got a fast response and maintained complete inhibition of hemolysis

efficient

most common adverse events headache nasopharyngitis upper respiratory tract infection

83 of infections possibly related to treatment

44 SAEs (none was considered probably or definely related to treatment)

well tolerated

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Impact on overall survival

Survival for patients on eculizumab appears to be similar to that of the normal population(50)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reasons for suboptimal response(47-48)

breakthrough intravascular hemolysis near the end of a treatment cycle

cycles of 13 or 12 days

increase dose of eculizumab

extravascular hemolysis

Frequently persistant elevation of reticulocytes bilirubin and LDH levels presistant reduction of haptoglobin

A small group of eculizumab-treated patients little or no improvement in either anemia or constitutional symptoms

inhibition of intravascular lysis by eculizumab

increase of PNH red blood cells loaded with early components of the complement system (C3 opsonins)

eculizumab does not block the C3 convertase (not down regulated by CD55)

recognized by reticuloendothelal cells

hemolysis in the spleen (and the liver)

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What to do

No treatment if no constitutional or anemia symptoms or transfusion dependance

Corticosteroids or splenectomy

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Reduction of thombosis with eculizumab

Number of TE events and incidence rates determined in patients from 3 clinical studies with eculizumab(31)

87-94 reduction of the thrombotic events rate during eculizumab treatment

Decrease in plasma D-dimers levels with eculizumab(44)

suppression of thrombin generation

Study of markers of thrombin generation and fibrinolysis in 23 PNH patients(18)

before and after 5 and 11 w of eculizumab treatment

eculizumab reduces the activation of the plasma hemostatic system and the vascular endothelium

role of the endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in PNH

no effect of eculizumab on the number of EMVs on MVs procoagulant activity or on the number of ICAM-1 expressing EMVs

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

Rapid and sustained decrease in the markers of thrombin generation and inflammation during eculizumab therapy(44)

significant reduction in D-dimers thrombin- antithrombin complex IL-6 soluble P-selectin (expressed by activated platelets and endothelial cells) TFMP (tissue factor bearing microparticles)

no link between hemolysis (LDH) and markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

the decrease of TFMP didnrsquot correlate with changes in markers of thrombin generation and inflammation

PNH Treatment of classic PNH eculizumab

What happens if we stop eculizumab

risk of hemolytic crisis

increased number of PNH red blood cells during eculizumab treatment

risk of thrombosis

one case described of a first thrombotic event 3 weeks after the last eculizumab dose (women died)

during anticoagulant prophylaxy (therapeutically dosed phenprocoumonMarcoumarreg)

no hemolysis

mechanism

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

PNH Treatment of classic PNH (2)

Bone marrow transplantation

the only curative option

important graft-versus-PNH effect

lack of suitable donnors

high rates of treatment-related morbiditymortality

2-year survival probability 56(34)

acute and chronic graft versus host disease 15 and 20

only for patients with life threatning cytopenias or disabling hemolysis or thrombosis that is not controlled with eculizumab

Supportive care

transfusions if needed (efficient may lessen hemolysis by suppressing erythropoiesis)

folate supplements

iron supplements if needed (hemoglobinuria hemosiderinuria) rare during eculizumab therapy (sometimes iron depletion therapy needed)

EPO increases hemolysis symptoms may be used when patients remain anemic with eculizumab and have low EPO level

corticosteroids long term toxicity use for acute hemolysis crises

androgens (Danazol) no data

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

Primary prophylactic anticoagulation

no randomized trials

some data suggest that warfarin effectively reduces thrombotic risk

anticoagulation in PNH patients is difficult

thrombocytopenia (aplasia liver failure)

risk of bleeding

difficult to maintain a therapeutic INR with warfarin

oesophagal spasm

mesenteric insufficiency

irregular feeding

recommendation of the international PNH interest group

consider vitamin K antagonist prophylaxis in patients with PNH granulocyte clone gt50 and no contraindications for prophylaxis

other authors say

No proven benefit for primary prophylactic anticoagulation (except pregnancy)

PNH Prophylaxis of thrombosis (1-2)

aspirin glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor antagonists

platelets may have a role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH

most thrombotic events occur in the venous system

LMWH

New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban dabigatran hellip)

Immunosuppressive therapy

need to define subgroups of PNH patients who could benefit from anticoagulation (risk factors)

Eculizumab is the best preventive treatment for thrombosis

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported

PNH Treatment of thrombosis (1-2)

If life-threatening thrombosis

thrombolytic therapy

Anticoagulation therapy

foundation of treatement

warfarin LMWH NOAC

for how long lifelong

PNH Treatment during pregnancy (34)

greater need for folate and iron supplementation

prophylactic full anticoagulation with LMWH if no contraindication

example enoxaparin 1mgkg12h SC

starting when pregnancy is confirmed

monitor anti-factor Xa levels

sometimes need to switch to unfractionated heparin if a cesarean section is planned

anticoagulation has to be continued during the post-partum period

eculizumab

listed as category C pharmaceuticals (drug with little or no information available)

important potential benefit of eculizumab in reducing thrombosis

IgG2 isotypes do not cross the placenta probably little impact on the fetus

single case report eculizumab was administered to a pregnant PNH patient in week 30 of her pregnancy (twins) No complications were reported
