Children 12 Years of Age and Younger
A total of 97 bleeding episodes in 28 pediatric subjects were treated with KOVALTRY. Majority (96.9%) of the bleeds were mild to moderate in severity. Fifty-nine (72.8%) bleeds were trauma related. During the 6 month treatment period, the median dose of KOVALTRY for the treatment of breakthrough bleeds was 36.94 IU/kg per infusion (range 20.8–71.6 IU/kg).
Assessment of response to treatment of bleeds was as follows:
Excellent: Abrupt pain relief and/or improvement in signs of bleeding with no additional infusion administered; Good: Definite pain relief and/or improvement in signs of bleeding but possibly requiring more than one infusion for complete resolution; Moderate: Probable or slight improvement in signs of bleeding with at least one additional infusion for complete resolution; Poor: No improvement at all between infusions or condition worsens.
The hemostatic efficacy in on-demand treatment of bleeds was assessed as either “good” or “excellent” in 90.1% of cases (97.8% in the younger age group and 81.0% in the older age group). Majority of bleeds (89.7%) were successfully treated with ≤2 infusions. Response to treatment was similar for children aged 0 to <6 compared to 6 to 12 years of age (see TABLE 10).
