albutrepenonacog alfa (recombinant coagulation factor IX)
Read this entire product information carefully before starting to use this medicine, as it contains important information for you.
What is IDELVION?
IDELVION is a medication for the treatment of hemophilia that replaces the natural factor IX of coagulation. The active ingredient of IDELVION is albutrepenonacog alfa (recombinant fusion protein that combines the coagulation factor IX with albumin [rIX-FP]).
The factor IX intervenes in blood coagulation. Patients with hemophilia B do not have this factor, which means that the blood does not clot as quickly as it should, resulting in a greater tendency to bleed. IDELVION acts by replacing the factor IX in patients with hemophilia B to enable their blood to clot.
How is IDELVION used?
IDELVION is used to prevent or stop bleeding caused by insufficient factor IX in patients of all ages with hemophilia B (also known ascongenital factor IX deficiencyorChristmas disease).
Do not use IDELVION

Reconstitution and administration
General instructions
Reconstitution
Without opening any of the vials, warm the IDELVION powder and the solvent until they are at room temperature or body temperature. This can be done by leaving the vials at room temperature for about an hour or by holding them in your hands for a few minutes.
DO NOT expose the vials to direct heat. The vials should not be heated above body temperature (37 °C).
Carefully remove the protective caps from the vials and, subsequently, clean the exposed parts of the rubber stoppers with an alcohol-soaked swab. Allow the vials to dry before opening the Mix2Vial package (which contains the transfer device with filter) and then follow the instructions below.
1 | 1. Open the package containing the Mix2Vial by removing the seal.Do notremove the Mix2Vial from the blister. |
2 | 2. Place thevial of solventon a clean and flat surface and hold it firmly in place. Hold the Mix2Vial along with the blister and push the blue terminal downwards until it fits into the stopper of the solvent vial. |
3 | 3. Carefully remove the blister from the Mix2Vial by holding the edge and pullingverticallyupwards. Make sure you only remove the blister and not the Mix2Vial. |
4 | 4. Place thevial of IDELVION powderon a flat and firm surface. Invert the vial of solvent with the Mix2Vial attached and push the transparent terminal downwards until it fits into the stopper of the IDELVION vial. The solvent will be automatically transferred to the IDELVION vial. |
5 | 5. With one hand, hold the side of the IDELVION vialattached toMix2Vial and, with the other hand, hold the side of the solvent vial. Carefully unscrew in a counterclockwise direction the transfer system and divide it into two pieces. Dispose of the solvent vial with the blue Mix2Vial adapter attached. |
6 | 6. Gently rotate the IDELVION vial with the transparent adapter attached until the substance has completely dissolved. Do not shake it. |
7 | 7. Fill a sterile syringe with air. Holding the IDELVION vial in a vertical position, connect the syringe to the Luer-Lock adapter of the Mix2Vial attached by screwing in a clockwise direction. Inject air into the IDELVION vial. |
8 | 8. Holding the plunger of the syringe pressed, turn the system over and place it upside down and aspirate the solution in the syringe by slowly pulling the plunger back. |
9 | 9. Once the solution has been transferred to the syringe, hold the body of the syringe firmly in place (keeping the plunger facing downwards) and disconnect the transparent adapter of the Mix2Vial from the syringe by unscrewing in a counterclockwise direction. |
Use the venipuncture kit provided with the product and insert the needle into a vein. Allow the blood to flow to the end of the tube. Attach the syringe to the threaded stopcock of the venipuncture kit.Inject the reconstituted solution slowly (at a rate that feelscomfortable, up to a maximum of 5 ml/min) into the veinaccording to the instructions given by yourdoctor. Try not to let blood enter the syringe containing the product.
Check if you experience any adverse effects immediately after the injection. If you experience any adverse effect that may be related to the administration of IDELVION, the injection should be interrupted (see also sections 2 and 4).

This information is intended solely for healthcare professionals:
Dosage
The dose and duration of treatment depend on the severity of the factor IX deficiency, the location and severity of the bleeding, and the patient's clinical status.
The number of factor IX units administered is expressed in International Units (UI), in relation to the current WHO standard for products containing factor IX. The plasma activity of factor IX is expressed as a percentage (in relation to normal human plasma) or in International Units (in relation to an international standard for plasma factor IX).
One International Unit (UI) of factor IX activity is equivalent to the amount of factor IX present in 1 ml of normal human plasma.
On-demand treatment
The calculation of the required dose of factor IX is based on the empirical finding that 1 UI of factor IX per kg of body weight increases plasma factor IX activity by 1.3 UI/dl (1.3% of normal activity) in patients ≥ 12 years and by 1.0 UI/dl (1.0% of normal activity) in patients <12 years.
Dose required (UI) = body weight (kg) x desired increase in factor IX (% of normal level or UI/dl) x {observed recovery reciprocal (UI/kg per UI/dl)}
Expected increase in factor IX (UI/dl or % of normal level) = dose (UI) x recovery (UI/dl per UI/kg)/body weight (kg)
The dose and administration frequency will be established based on the observed clinical efficacy in each case.
Patients <12 years
In the case of incremental recovery of 1 UI/dl per 1 UI/kg, the dose is calculated as follows:
Dose required (UI) = body weight (kg) x desired increase in factor IX (UI/dl) x 1 dl/kg
Example:
Patients ≥ 12 years of age
In the case of incremental recovery of 1.3 UI/dl per 1 UI/kg, the dose is calculated as follows:
Dose required (UI) = body weight (kg) x desired increase in factor IX (UI/dl) x 0.77 dl/kg
Example:
In the case of the following bleeding events, the plasma factor IX activity should not be below the established plasma activity level (in % of normal level or in UI/dl) during the corresponding period. The following table can be used as a dosage guide for bleeding episodes and surgery:
Bleeding severity/Surgical procedure type | Required factor IX level | Administration frequency | ||||
Bleeding event | (% or UI/dl) | (hours)/Treatment duration (days) | ||||
(days) | ||||||
Mild to moderate bleeding | 30-60 | A single dose should be sufficient in most cases. | ||||
Severe bleeding | 60-100 | Repeat every 24-72 hours during the first week and then administer a maintenance dose every week until the bleeding stops and the wound heals. | ||||
Potentially life-threatening bleeding, deep muscle bleeding (including iliopsoas), or bleeding into a body cavity | Repeat every 24-72 hours during the first week and then administer a maintenance dose every week until the bleeding stops and the wound heals. | |||||
Minor surgery | 50-80 | A single dose should be sufficient in most cases. | ||||
Major surgery | 60-100 | Repeat every 24-72 hours during the first week and then administer a maintenance dose every week until the bleeding stops and the wound heals. |
Prophylactic treatment
For long-term prophylaxis to prevent bleeding in patients with severe hemophilia B, the usual dose is 35-50 UI/kg once a week. Well-controlled patients on a once-weekly regimen may be treated with up to 75 UI/kg every 10 or 14 days. In patients > 18 years, a longer interval between treatments may be considered.
In some cases, especially in young patients, it may be necessary to shorten the treatment intervals or use higher doses.
After a bleeding episode during prophylaxis, patients should maintain their prophylaxis regimen as much as possible, with the administration of 2 doses of IDELVION with a minimum of 24 hours between them, but longer if considered appropriate for the patient.
Pediatric population
In long-term prophylaxis, the recommended dosing regimen is 35-50 UI/kg once a week.For adolescents 12 years or older, the recommended dose is the same as for adults (see above).
Special warnings and precautions for use
Inhibitors
After repeated treatment with factor IX products, patients should be monitored for the development of neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) that should be quantified in Bethesda Units (BU) using suitable biological tests.
Cases reported in the literature demonstrate a correlation between the appearance of a factor IX inhibitor and allergic reactions. Therefore, patients who experience allergic reactions should be evaluated to detect the presence of an inhibitor. It should be noted that patients with factor IX inhibitors may be at increased risk of anaphylaxis upon subsequent exposure to factor IX.
Monitoring of treatment
During treatment, it is recommended to adequately control factor IX levels to determine the dose to be administered and the frequency of infusions. Patient responses to factor IX may vary, demonstrating different half-lives and recoveries. The weight-based dose may need to be adjusted in patients with underweight or overweight. In the case of major surgery, it is essential to accurately monitor treatment substitution by coagulation tests (plasma factor IX activity).
When using a one-stage coagulation assay based on activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) in vitro to determine plasma factor IX activity in patient blood samples, the results of plasma factor IX activity may be significantly affected by the aPTT reagent and reference standard used in the assay. It is likely that measurement using a one-stage coagulation assay with a caolin-based aPTT reagent or an aPTT reagent with Actin FS will result in underestimation of the level of activity. This is particularly important when changing laboratories or reagents used in the assay.
