Abstract | Background: Emicizumab is a bispecific, chimeric, humanized immunoglobulin G (IgG)4 that mimics the procoagulant activity of factor (F) VIII (FVIII). Its long half-life and subcutaneous route of administration have been life-changing in treating patients with hemophilia A (HA) with or without FVIII inhibitors. However, emicizumab only partially mimics FVIII activity; it prevents but does not treat acute bleeds. Emergency management is particularly complicated in patients with FVIII inhibitors receiving emicizumab prophylaxis in whom exogenous FVIII is inefficient. We have shown recently that Imlifidase (IdeS), a bacterial IgG-degrading enzyme, efficiently eliminates human anti-FVIII IgG in a mouse model of severe HA with inhibitors and opens a therapeutic window for the administration of exogenous FVIII. Objectives: To investigate the impact of IdeS treatment in inhibitor-positive HA mice injected with emicizumab. Methods: IdeS was injected to HA mice reconstituted with human neutralizing anti-FVIII IgG and treated with emicizumab. Results: IdeS hydrolyzed emicizumab in vitro and in vivo, albeit, at slower rates than another recombinant human monoclonal IgG4. While F(ab') Conclusion: Our results suggest that IdeS could be administered to inhibitor-positive patients with HA receiving emicizumab prophylaxis to improve and ease the management of breakthrough bleeds or programmed major surgeries. |
