Beqvez: which risks did reviewers probe?
fidanacogene elaparvovec · Factor IX
Immune & cytokine safety
Anti-hFIX and anti-capsid antibodies in most NHPs, rising over time, correlated with declining hFIX
“The levels of both anti-hFIX and anti-AAV antibodies increased with time, which correlated with a decline in plasma hFIX protein levels.”
Biodistribution & persistence
Vector in all NHP tissues incl. brain/testes; highest liver, spleen, lymph nodes; liver to day 542; rabbit semen to 4 months
“The highest vector DNA concentrations were detected in the liver, spleen, and inguinal lymph nodes.”
Modality-specific risk
AAV vector integration/hepatic oncogenicity; <0.1% integrated, no clonal expansion; thrombosis; germline transmission
“In a 2-year vector integration study in NHPs administered 5 × 1012 vg/kg, there was no indication that integration of vector DNA into host cell DNA resulted in altered liver function, hepatocellular hyperplasia or carcinoma.”
