Evaluation of the impact of S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferase inhibitor, 3-deazaneplanocin A, on tissue injury and cognitive function in mice

International audienceCancer patients display cognitive impairment due, at least partly, to the treatments. Additionally, chemotherapeutic treatments can lead to organ injury, limiting their use, and are likely to have negative impacts on patients' quality of life. The aim of this study was to investigate the toxicity of 3-Deazaneplanocin A (DZNep) on several tissues and organs, as well as on cognitive functions. DZNep is an inhibitor of S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferase (in particular of the histone methyltransferase EZH2) which showed antitumoral functions in preclinical trials but whose effects on behavior and on organs (side effects) are not known. Chronic injections of DZNep were performed intraperitoneally in male NMRI mice (2 mg/kg; i.p.; three times per week) during 8 weeks. A follow-up of body weight was assessed during all experiments. Histological analysis were performed on several organs. EZH2 expression and H3K27me3 were assayed by western-blot. Several behavioral tests were performed during treatment and 2 weeks after. A particular focus was made on spontaneous locomotor activity, cognitive functions (spontaneous alternation and recognition memory), and anxiety- and depression-related behavior. Hematological modifications were also assessed. Chronic DZNep treatment transiently reduced animal growth. It had no effect on most organs but provoked a reversible splenomegaly, and persistent testis reduction and erythropoiesis. DZNep administration did not alter animal behavior. In conclusion, this study is encouraging for the use of DZNep for cancer treatment. Indeed, it has no effect on animal behavior, conferring an advantageous safety, and induces irreversible side effects limited on testis which are unfortunately found in most chemotherapy treatments

rFVIII-Fc in severe haemophilia A: The incentive switch in case of high risk of joint bleedings

International audienceBackground Efmoroctocog alfa, the first recombinant factor VIII fusion protein with extended half-life (rFVIII-Fc), has been hypothesized to lower FVIII consumption in patients with severe Haemophilia A (pwSHA), without reducing clinical efficacy. What about real life? Method MOTHIF-II was a noninterventional, multicentre, before/after study, via the collection of retrospective data from July 2015 to June 2016 (called T1), and from July 2017 to June 2018 (called T2), in 7 French haemophilia treatment centres. We examined the prescriptions and dispensations of factor VIII and the Annual Bleeding Rate (ABR), in pwSHA without current inhibitors on prophylaxis, before and after the introduction of rFVIII-Fc. The data gathered from the BERHLINGO research database and from the French Healthcare claims database with a determinist pairing process based on the national unique identification number. Results A total of 156 pwSHA were included in the prescription cohort and 83 in the ABR cohort. For switched patients, the mean amounts of prescribed FVIII were significantly higher during T1 compared to T2 (4333 (2052) vs. 3921 (2029) IU/kg/year/patient, p: 0.028); a significant decrease in their ABR was also observed between T1 and T2 (6.3 (6.0) vs. 4.4 (5.4), p: 0.047). These patients had a more severe bleeding profile centred on haemarthrosis. Conclusion The results are related to those of the pivotal clinical trials for the reduction in FVIII consumption following the switch to rFVIII-Fc, with a significant improvement in the haemorrhagic phenotype for pwSHA

Genotype-dependent response to desmopressin in hemophilia A and proposal of a predictive response score

International audienceDesmopressin (DDAVP) is used in patients with moderate/mild hemophilia A (PWMH) to increase their factor VIII (FVIII) level and, if possible, normalize it. However, its effectiveness varies between individuals. The GIDEMHA study aims to investigate the influence of F8 gene variants. The study collected the evolution of FVIII levels from therapeutic intravenous DDAVP tests in 4 French hemophilia treatment centers. A pharmacological analysis was performed associated with efficacy scores according to F8 variants: absolute and relative responses, as well as new scores: absolute duration (based on duration with FVIII ≥0.50 IU.mL-1) and relative duration (based on half-life). From enrolled 439 PWMH, 327 had a hot-spot F8 variant (with ≥5 PWMH). For these, the median (min-max) basal and peak FVIII were 0.20 (0.02-0.040) and 0.74 (0.14-2.18) IU.mL-1 respectively, with FVIII recovery being 3.80 IU.ml-1 (1.15-14.75). The median FVIII half-life was 3.9h (0.7-15.9h). FVIII was normalized (≥0.50 IU.mL-1) in 224/327 PWMH (69%) and the median time with normalized FVIII was 3.9h (0.0-54.1h). Following the response profiles to DDAVP defined by the 4 efficacy scores, 4 groups of F8 variants were isolated then compared into survival curves with normalized FVIII (p<0.0001): “long lastingly effective” [p.(Glu739Lys), p.(Ser2030Asn), p.(Arg2178His), p.(Gln2208Glu) and T-stretch deletion in intron 13]; “moderately effective” [p.(Ser112Phe), p.(Ala219Thr), p.(Thr2105Ile), p.Phe2146Ser) and p.(Asp2150Asn)]; “moderately ineffective” [p.Ala81Asp), p.(Gln324Pro), p.(Tyr492His), p.(Arg612Cys), p.(Met701Val), p.(Val2035Asn) and p.(Arg2178Cys)]; and “frequently ineffective” [c.-219C>T, p.(Cys2040Tyr), p.(Tyr2169His), p.(Pro2319Leu) and p.(Arg2326Gln)]. In view of our data, we propose indications for DDAVP-use in PWMH based on F8 variants for minor and major invasive procedures.Clinical Trial: Registration number (trial ID): NCT05628558, Trial registry: ClinicalTrials.gov (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/), Type of Study: Multicenter stud

Determinants of adherence and consequences of the transition from adolescence to adulthood among young people with severe haemophilia (TRANSHEMO): A multicentric French national observational cross‐sectional study based on the FranceCoag registry

International audienceAbstract Introduction It is necessary to gain insights into adherence to healthcare in people with severe haemophilia (PwSH), especially during the transition from paediatric to adult care, which is an important phase in lives of young people with childhood chronic disease. This adherence can be considered as a marker of successful transition. Objectives The main objective of the quantitative phase of the TRANSHEMO project was to compare the adherence to healthcare between adolescents and young adults (YAs) with severe haemophilia. The secondary objective was to identify the determinants (facilitators and barriers) of this adherence and associations between these determinants. Methods A multicentre, observational, cross‐sectional study was conducted in 2017–2019 on PwSH aged between 14 and 17 years (adolescents) or between 20 and 29 years (YAs), included in the FranceCoag registry and having completed the questionnaires. The adherence to healthcare (treatment regimens and clinical follow‐up) was compared between adolescents and YAs using the chi‐squared test. The determinants of this adherence were analysed by structural equation modelling. Results There were 277 participants, 107 adolescents, and 170 YAs. The rate of adolescents adhering to healthcare was 82.2%, while the rate of YAs was 61.2% ( p < .001). The barriers to the adherence to healthcare were being YA, having repeated at least one school grade and presenting mental health concerns. Conclusion Adolescents had better adherence to healthcare than YAs. According to the determinants enlightened in this project, targeted supportive strategies and adapted therapeutic education programs can be developed for young PwSH to facilitate their adherence to healthcare

ABO blood group does not influence Child‐Pugh A cirrhosis outcome: An observational study from CIRRAL and ANRS CO12 CIRVIR cohorts

International audienceBackground and aims: Non-O blood group promotes deep vein thrombosis and liver fibrosis in both general population and hepatitis C. We aimed to evaluate the influence of Non-O group on the outcome of Child-Pugh A cirrhotic patients.Methods: We used two prospective cohorts of Child-Pugh A cirrhosis due to either alcohol or viral hepatitis. Primary end point was the cumulated incidence of 'Decompensation' at 3 years, defined as the occurrence of ascites , hydrothorax, encephalopathy, gastrointestinal bleeding related to portal hypertension, or bilirubin >45 μmol/L. Secondary end points were the cumulated incidences of (1) 'Disease Progression' including a « decompensation» or « the occurrence of one or more parameters » among: prothrombin time (PT) <45%, albumin <28 g/L, Child-Pugh worsening (B or C vs A or B, C vs B), hepatorenal syndrome, and hepato-pulmonary syndrome, (2) other events such as non-malignant portal vein thrombosis (nmPVT), and (3) overall survival.Results: Patients (n = 1789; 59.9% Non-O group; 40.1% group O) were followed during a median of 65.4 months. At 3 years cumulated incidence of Decompensation was 8.3% in Non-O group and 7.2% in group O (P = .27). Cumulated incidence of Disease Progression was 20.7% in Non-O group and 18.9% in group O (P = .26). Cumulated incidence of nmPVT was 2.7% in Non-O group and 2.8% in group O (P = .05). At 3 years overall survival was 92.4% in Non-O group and 93.4% in group O (P = 1).Conclusion: Non-O group does not influence disease outcome in Child-Pugh A cirrhotic patients.
