11 What Does This Mean for Our Understanding of Hemophilia? The primary problem in hemophilia is deficient platelet-based thrombin generation. This leads to deficient platelet function and altered clot structure.

15 Thrombin Generation Curve 80 [ Thrombin ] (nm) Time (minutes) DM Monroe, WFH2002, Seville,Spain.

16 Most Clotting Assays Have Been Plasma Based Plasma-based assays completely miss the impact of platelets (for which phospholipid has been added as a substitute) and platelet activation on thrombin generation. Such assays typically use clot formation as the end point and thus also miss the impact of altered thrombin generation on platelet function and clot structure.

17 Can These Plasma Assays Be Used to Monitor Factor-Replacement Therapy in Bleeding Patients? PPP-based assays can be used to measure clotting factor levels. In many cases, raising the factor level to normal will correlate with stoppage of bleeding and clinical benefit. However, with some clinically effective agents this is clearly not the case. A prime example is recombinant activated Factor VII (rfviia). PPP = platelet-poor plasma.

18 Can the PT or ACT Be Used for Monitoring rfviia? (NO) Lisman T et al. Blood. 2002;99:175. PT = prothrombin time; ACT = activated clotting time. Telgt DSC et al. Thromb Res. 1989;56:603.

20 Laboratory Assays that Are Under Investigation Thrombogram Synapse BV Thromboelastogram (TEG) TEG Haemoscope Corporation ROTEG Pentapharm Ltd ReoRox MediRox AB Sonoclot Sienco, Inc. Platelet contractile force Hemodyne, Inc.

21 Laboratory Assays Under Investigation Thrombogram Uses a 96-well microtiter plate and a fluorometer to measure change in fluorescence as thrombin cleaves a fluorogenic substrate. Sample is PPP or PRP. Software produces kinetic curve of thrombin concentration (nm) versus time (mins). PRP = platelet-rich plasma.

22 Synapse BV Thrombogram (Dr. H.C. Hemker) The program is written for the Thermo Labsystems Ascent Reader The Thrombinoscope Program is available from Synapse BV The program comes with a comprehensive manual and lyophilized thrombin standard

26 Laboratory Assays Under Investigation ReoRox This method measures viscoelastic changes during clotting of whole blood. G', G", phase angle, damping, and frequency are measured. Clotting time and clot completion time are calculated based on preset changes in damping and frequency. (Outer sample surface moves. Sample in the cup effects movement.)

30 Laboratory Assays Under Investigation Thromboelastogram This assay measures the coupling of a moving outer cup with a centrally placed piston during clotting of blood samples. As clot forms, it connects the inner piston and outer wall and the piston begins to move. The degree of coupling is dependent on adhesion and clot strength. Measured parameters are defined by changes in the kinetic curve.

31 Haemoscope TEG

32 Thromboelastogram: TEG Output

33 Thromboelastogram: Qualitative Analysis The TEG system documents the interaction of platelets with protein coagulation cascade from the time of placing the blood in the TEG analyzer until initial fibrin formation, clot rate strengthening, and fibrinplatelet bonding via GPIIb/IIIa, to eventual clot lysis.

34 Yoshioka and colleagues concluded that the TEG was more suitable than the APTT, PT, or FVII as a monitor of hemostatic effects during rfviia treatment. APTT = activated partial thromboplastin time; PT = prothrombin time. Yoshioka A et al. Haemostasis. 1996;26(Suppl 1):

35 Laboratory Assays Under Investigation ROTEG Like the TEG, the ROTEG assesses coupling of an inner piston to an outer wall during clotting of a blood sample. The ROTEG differs in that the inner piston is caused to rotate. The freedom of rotation of the piston is measured by an optical follower. As clot forms, the degree of rotation is reduced. Measured parameters are virtually identical to those defined by the TEG curve.

MCF = median corpuscular fragility.

40 Laboratory Assays Under Investigation Sonoclot The Sonoclot measures viscoelastic properties during clotting of blood samples. A hollow tube is caused to vibrate up and down within a cup containing the clotting sample. The resistance to oscillation can be used to measure sample viscosity. Once clotting begins, the signal can no longer be used to measure viscosity, but changes in the signal may correlate with structural events within the clot. The signal is termed the clot signature.

43 Laboratory Assays Under Investigation Hemodyne This instrument measures platelet contractile force (PCF), clot elastic modulus (CEM), and thrombin generation time (TGT) in a sample of clotting whole blood. PCF is the force generated by platelets during clot retraction.

61 Case Study The patient is a nine year old male, diagnosed with Severe FVIII deficiency when he bled from his Vitamin K injection site. Developed a high level inhibitor at age 3. Treated with Autoplex, FEIBA, and Porcine VIII for bleeds. Immune tolerance therapy failed to reduce the inhibitor. Continuing joint bleeds led to use of rviia.

62 Case Study (cont.) Therapy was instituted at the standard dose of 90 µg/kg. Mother felt dose was inadequate and increased it to > 200 µg/kg with what she felt was a better response. Physician was concerned this dose might be thrombogenic. At the physician and mother s request the following study was performed.

65 Response of PAS to rviia infusion PCF (Kdynes) Pre NovoSeven Post 230 mcg/kg NovoSeven Normal Controls TIME (min)

66 CONCLUSIONS Whole blood assays that measure the rate of thrombin generation may allow detection of deficient coagulation. These same assays may also be useful in the monitoring of hemostatic agent therapy. The interplay of cellular elements and fluid phase components may be assessable by such methods.
