1 Current laboratory practices in the diagnosis and management of haemophilia Marc Jacquemin University of Leuven BSTH 2013

2 Detection of severe haemophilia A

3 Validation of the FVIII assay for the detection of severe hemophilia A (FVIII < 1%) No specific guidelines about measuring FVIII 1% Is there any problem with the detection of FVIII <1%?

4 Plasma of a pa*ent with a Factor VIII level <1% number of laboratories factor VIII (%) ECAT ECAT

5 Plasma of a pa*ent with a Factor VIII level <1% number of laboratories 20% of labs: FVIII < 1% => severe hemophilia A factor VIII (%) ECAT ECAT

6 Plasma of a pa*ent with a Factor VIII level <1% number of laboratories 20% of labs: FVIII < 1% => severe hemophilia A 75% of labs: FVIII = 1% factor VIII (%) ECAT ECAT

7 Plasma of a pa*ent with a Factor VIII level <1% number of laboratories 20% of labs: FVIII < 1% => severe hemophilia A 75% of labs: FVIII 1% 5% of labs: FVIII 2% => moderate hemophilia A factor VIII (%) ECAT ECAT

8 Plasma of a pa*ent with a Factor VIII level <2% number of laboratories factor VIII (%) ECAT

9 Plasma of a pa*ent with a Factor VIII level <2% number of laboratories 75% of labs: FVIII 1% => moderate hemophilia A factor VIII (%) ECAT

10 Plasma of a pa*ent with a Factor VIII level <2% number of laboratories 75% of labs: FVIII 1% => mild hemophilia A 25% of labs: FVIII < 1% => severe hemophilia A factor VIII (%) ECAT

11 Validation of the FVIII assay for the detection of severe hemophilia A (FVIII < 1%) no specific guidelines commercial FVIII-deficient plasma (immunodepleted)? plasma from severe haemophilia A patients with known inversion or deletion of the FVIII gene?

12 Gene*c analyses can o=en but not always confirm a diagnosis of severe haemophilia

13 Detection of mild/moderate haemophilia A

14 Detection of mild/moderate haemophilia A - repeated measurements (stress, inflamma*on) - lower FVIII and VWF levels in blood group O

15 Muta*ons impairing the stability of ac*vated FVIII

27 Detection of VWD type 2 N low FVIII (similar to mild/moderate haemophilia A) no mutation in FVIII gene reduced FVIII binding to VWF in ELISA also in women! A1 FVIII vwf implications for: - treatment - genetic counseling

28 Monitoring

29 Monitoring Plasma derived FVIII concentrates: no specific guidelines Recombinant FVIII: product specific guidelines!

30 FVIII assays available for the monitoring

31 FVIII one- stage assay (APTT- based) HK / PK test sample (FVIII) + FVIII- deficient plasma XII XIIa + non physiological surface (glass, silica, kaolin) XI XIa + phospholipids + Ca ++ VIII IX VIIIa IXa V X Va Xa Prothrombin Thrombin Fibrinogen Fibrin

42 Difficulties inherent to the use of multiple standards: multiple calibration curves CSLI guidelines: calibration every run

43 Difficulties inherent to the use of multiple standards: multiple calibration curves CSLI guidelines: calibration every run! assays with stored calibration curves [Lattes Haemophilia 2011; 17: 139] [Nougier Blood Coag Fibrinol 2011; 22: 151]

44 Difficulties inherent to the use of multiple standards: multiple calibration curves CSLI guidelines: calibration every run! assays with stored calibration curves [Lattes Haemophilia 2011; 17: 139] [Nougier Blood Coag Fibrinol 2011; 22: 151] calibration curve with each new batch [Mackie I.

45 Calibration with normal plasma is stable over prolonged period of time 90 Coagulation time (Sec) plasma pool mean ± SD of 4 calibration curves carried out on different days FVIII:C (%)

46 Interpretation of monitoring data type of assay calibration of the assay (normal plasma or like versus like )

47 Detection of inhibitor Bethesda test Nijmegen modification of the Bethesda test Kasper et al., Thromb Diathes Haemorrh 1975 B. Verbruggen et al., Thromb Haemost 1995 B. Verbruggen et al. Thromb Haemost 2001 B. Verbruggen et al. Thromb Haemost 2002

48 Conclusions identification of patients with severe hemophilia A requires a strict control of the available commercial methods. attention must be given to the identification of mild/ moderate haemophilia A patients with discrepant one stage/two stage FVIII assays. efficient interactions between clinici and clinical biologists are critical for the monitoring of treatment with FVIII concentrates
