1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

introductionThe phase 2/3 PROTECT VIII study demonstrated long-term efficacy and safety of damoctocog alfa pegol (BAY 94-9027; Jivi®), a B-domain-deleted recombinant factor VIII (FVIII), site-specifically PEGylated to improve its pharmacokinetic profile. We report a post hoc assessment of bleeding and safety outcomes in the subgroup of patients, aged 12-<18 years at enrolment.

methodPROTECT VIII was a multicentre, open-label study of previously treated males aged 12-65 years with severe haemophilia A (FVIII <1%). Twelve patients were included in this analysis. All received damoctocog alfa pegol prophylaxis for the total time in study (median [range] time in study 4.0 [1.3-6.2] years).

resultsOverall median (Q1; Q3) total and joint annualised bleeding rates were 1.8 (0.4; 5.1) and 0.7 (0.2; 1.8), respectively, for the entire study. During the last 6 months of treatment, eight (66.7%) and ten (83.3%) out of 12 patients experienced zero total and joint bleeds, respectively. No patient developed FVIII inhibitors. No deaths or thrombotic events were reported.

conclusionEfficacy and safety of damoctocog alfa pegol were confirmed in adolescent patients with haemophilia A, with data for up to 6 years supporting its use as a long-term treatment option in this group as they transition into adulthood.
