Abstract

© 2021 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.Introduction: In good risk patients (historic inhibitor peak < 200BU), the International Immune Tolerance Study demonstrated equal efficacy to induce tolerance between high (200iu/kg/day) and low dose (50iu/kg ×3 times/week) immune tolerance induction (ITI) regimens. However, the trial stopped early on account of the excessive bleed rate in the low dose ITI arm. Methods: United Kingdom Haemophilia Centre Doctors’ Organization (UKHCDO) Paediatric and Inhibitor working parties considered available ITI data alongside the bi-phenotypic antibody emicizumab (Hemlibra®) efficacy and safety data to develop a consensus guideline for the future UK ITI guideline. Results: This revision of UKHCDO ITI guidance incorporates the recommendation to use emicizumab as a prophylaxis haemostatic agent to reduce bleeding rates and to facilitate low dose and reduced frequency of FVIII CFC for ITI in the majority of children. Conclusion: This consensus protocol will facilitate future evaluation of ITI outcomes in the evolving landscape of haemophilia therapeutics and ITI strategies.
