DUBOSCQ, Cristina et al. Alta variabilidad en la determinación del Factor IX en muestras de plasma adicionadas con nonacog beta pegol entre distintos pares de reactivos/sistemas de detección. Acta bioquím. clín. latinoam. [online]. 2023, vol.57, n.3, pp.281-289. ISSN 0325-2957.

Hemophilia B (HB) is an X-linked hereditary bleeding disorder characterised by coagulation factor IX (FIX) deficiency. To improve the quality of life of patients and adherence to treatment, recombinant factor concentrates glicomodified to extend their half-life have been developed. These are called extended half-life factors (EHL: extended half-life concentrates). Nonacog beta pegol (N9-GP) is a glycopegylated recombinant human FIX molecule that has a half-life of 93 h with a single dose and has shown a higher recovery percentage than other molecules. For diagnosis and monitoring the treatment of hemophiliac patients, FIX activity is determined with the One Stage Clotting Assay (OSA) and/or the chromogenic assay. The objective of this work, carried out in three centres, was to measure the recovery of N9-GP with 10 different APTT reagents on three platforms, in FIX deficient samples spiked in vitro with N9-GP, at four different concentration levels. The results show a heterogeneity in the activity of N9-GP measured by OSA with the different APTT reagents when the calibrations were performed with the specific standard of each coagulometer. A recovery percentage greater than 92% was obtained with Cephascreen, Actin FSL and APTTest ellagic in the three platforms evaluated. These reagents would be the only ones appropriate when using the commercial plasma-calibrated OSA to monitor the treatment of patients treated with N9-GP.
