Previous studies have reported differences in FVIII inhibitor kinetics (type I or type II) in AHA compared to severe haemophilia A.// Aim: To characterise inhibitor kinetics in AHA and evaluate the proportions displaying type I, II or indeterminate kinetics. // Methods: Single-centre retrospective study of inhibitor kinetics in adults with AHA. Type I kinetics were defined as linear FVIII inhibition with ≥ 97% FVIII inactivation. Type II kinetics were defined as non-linear kinetics and inability to completely neutralise FVIII. Inhibitor titres were calculated using two methods outlined by the International Council for Standardisation in Haematology.// Results: Baseline samples from 34 patients were included. Fifteen samples (44.1%) exhibited type I kinetics, 16 samples (47.1%) exhibited type II kinetics and 3 (8.8%) were indeterminate. Plateau mean residual FVIII:C was higher for inhibitors displaying type II compared to type I kinetics (18.6 vs. 2.9 IU/dL, p < 0.0001). Non-linear regression using a dose-response curve without categorisation for kinetics type yielded a poor fit (R2 = 38%), which improved with refitting using categories of type I or II kinetics that explained 87% and 85% of the variability. The median difference in inhibitor titre between the two reporting methods was 5% and 15% in the type I and II kinetics groups, respectively.// Conclusion: FVIII autoantibodies demonstrate either type I or type II kinetics. Greater discrepancy in reported inhibitor titres depending on the method used is seen for inhibitors with type II kinetics. date: 2025-01-15 date_type: published publisher: Wiley official_url: https://doi.org/10.1111/hae.15144 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2354319 doi: 10.1111/hae.15144 medium: Print-Electronic lyricists_name: Batty, Paul lyricists_name: Chowdary, Pratima lyricists_id: PBATT89 lyricists_id: CHOWD41 actors_name: Batty, Paul actors_id: PBATT89 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Haemophilia event_location: England issn: 1351-8216 citation: Kamel, Kirollos; Sardo Infirri, Sofia; Riddell, Anne; Chowdary, Pratima; Batty, Paul; (2025) Factor VIII Antibodies Demonstrate Type I or Type II Kinetics in Acquired Haemophilia A.
