Sobi to present new data at ISTH 2023

Sobi® will present new scientific data at ISTH 2023, the 31st Congress of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis. This event, taking place from 24th to 28th June, will be held both online and in Montreal. ISTH provides an exceptional platform for the dissemination of cutting-edge advancements, fostering the exchange of scientific knowledge, and facilitating comprehensive discussions on clinical applications tailored to enhance patient care within the field of haematology. Nine abstracts have been accepted for presentation (8 posters and 1 oral). They show new evidence on efanesoctocog alfa and also confirm Sobi's commitment to advancing standards of care by further expanding the existing body of evidence for the extended half-life FVIII and FIX treatments, Elocta and Alprolix .

“We are very proud of the upcoming presentations of new data at the ISTH, especially the new data on haemophilia prophylaxis from the XTEND program with efanesoctocog alfa. We look forward to meeting with the community online and in Montreal,” said Tony Hoos, MD, PhD, Head of Research & Development and Chief Medical Officer. “The data presented further demonstrate Sobi’s unwavering commitment to advancing care for those affected by haemophilia around the world and underscore our dedication to enhancing understanding of the condition.”

Key Sobi data to be presented at ISTH 2023

All abstracts are accessible through the official ISTH website. However, any late-breaking abstracts will only be made available at a later time.

About Alprolix®

Alprolix® (eftrenonacog alfa) is a recombinant clotting factor therapy developed for haemophilia B using Fc fusion technology to prolong circulation in the body. It is engineered by fusing factor IX to the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G subclass 1, or IgG1 (a protein commonly found in the body), enabling Alprolix to use a naturally occurring pathway to extend the time the therapy remains in the body (half-life). Alprolix is manufactured using a human cell line in an environment free of animal and human additives. Alprolix is approved and marketed by Sobi for the treatment of haemophilia B in the EU, the UK, Iceland, Kuwait, Liechtenstein, Norway, Saudi Arabia and Switzerland. It is also approved in the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and other countries where Sanofi has the marketing rights.

About Elocta®/Eloctate®

Elocta®/Eloctate® (efmoroctocog alfa) is a recombinant clotting factor therapy developed for haemophilia A using Fc fusion technology to prolong circulation in the body. It is engineered by fusing factor VIII to the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G subclass 1, or IgG1 (a protein commonly found in the body), enabling Elocta to use a naturally occurring pathway to extend the time the therapy remains in the body (half-life). Elocta is manufactured using a human cell line in an environment free of animal and human additives. Elocta is approved and marketed by Sobi for the treatment of haemophilia A in the EU, the UK, Iceland, Kuwait, Liechtenstein, Norway, Saudi Arabia and Switzerland. It is approved and marketed as Eloctate® (Antihemophilic Factor [Recombinant], Fc Fusion Protein) by Sanofi in the United States, Canada Japan, Australia, New Zealand and other countries, where Sanofi has the marketing rights.

About efanesoctocog alfa 

Efanesoctocog alfa [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), Fc-VWF-XTEN Fusion Protein] (formerly BIVV001) is a novel and investigational recombinant factor VIII therapy with the potential to deliver near-normal factor activity levels for a significant parts of the week, improving bleed protection in a once-weekly dose for people with haemophilia A. Efanesoctocog alfa builds on the innovative Fc fusion technology by adding a region of von Willebrand factor and XTEN® polypeptides to  extend its time in circulation. It is the only therapy that has been shown to break through the von Willebrand factor ceiling, which imposes a half-life limitation on current factor VIII therapies. It was approved as ALTUVIIIO™ [Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), Fc-VWF-XTEN Fusion Protein-ehtl] by Sanofi in the US in February 2023. It is not approved in any country outside the US.

About the Sanofi and Sobi collaboration
Sobi and Sanofi collaborate on the development and commercialization of Alprolix® and Elocta®/Eloctate®. The companies also collaborate on the development and commercialisation of efanesoctocog alfa or ALTUVIIIO™ in the US. Sobi has final development and commercialisation rights in the Sobi territory (essentially Europe, North Africa, Russia, and most Middle Eastern markets). Sanofi has final development and commercialisation rights in North America and all other regions in the world excluding the Sobi territory.
