Estimated mean marstacimab-hncq Cmin,ss, Cmax,ss, and Cavg,ss for adults and adolescents weighing at least 25 kg following marstacimab-hncq 150 mg subcutaneous once‑weekly administration (with a loading dose of 300 mg subcutaneous), and for pediatric patients 6 to less than 12 years of age weighing at least 19 kg following marstacimab‑hncq 75 mg subcutaneous once‑weekly administration (with a loading dose of 150 mg subcutaneous) are shown in Table 2.
In adults and adolescents, the marstacimab‑hncq area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) increase in a greater than dose-proportional manner over the dose range of 100 mg to 450 mg (0.67 to 3 times the approved recommended dosage).
In adult and adolescent patients, the mean steady-state accumulation ratio for marstacimab‑hncq is approximately 4 to 5. Marstacimab‑hncq steady‑state concentrations are achieved by approximately 60 days (8th or 9th subcutaneous dose) when administered once weekly. Similar results were observed in pediatric patients 6 to less than 12 years of age.

Absorption
Bioavailability of marstacimab-hncq following subcutaneous administration is approximately 71% for adults, adolescents and pediatric patients 6 to less than 12 years of age. Median Tmax ranges from 23 to 59 hours following multiple subcutaneous administrations of marstacimab-hncq to patients with hemophilia. No clinically significant differences were seen in marstacimab-hncq bioavailability when administered subcutaneously in the arm, thigh or abdomen.
Distribution
For adults, adolescents and pediatric patients 6 to less than 12 years of age, marstacimab-hncq steady‑state apparent volume of distribution is 6.0 L in patients with hemophilia.
Elimination
Marstacimab-hncq is cleared via linear and non-linear mechanisms. Marstacimab‑hncq exhibited non‑linear pharmacokinetics due to target-mediated drug disposition (TMDD) which occurs when it forms marstacimab‑hncq/TFPI complex. Once the target becomes saturated, linear pathway (i.e., catabolism) dominates.
Based on population pharmacokinetic analysis using adult and adolescent data, 90% of marstacimab‑hncq is expected to be eliminated by the end of approximately 1 month after the last dose (median time for 50% of drug to be eliminated is approximately 7 to 11 days). Similar results were observed in pediatric patients 6 to less than 12 years of age.
Metabolism
Marstacimab‑hncq is expected to be metabolized into small peptides and amino acids by catabolic pathways in the same manner as endogenous IgG.
Specific Populations
No clinically significant differences in pharmacokinetics of marstacimab-hncq were observed in any of the age groups based on race, hemophilia type (A and B), inhibitor status and mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin >1× to ≤1.5× ULN). In adults and adolescents, no clinically significant differences in pharmacokinetics of marstacimab‑hncq were observed based on mild renal impairment (eGFR of 60 to 89 mL/min/1.73 m2). The effects of geriatric age (>65 years), moderate to severe renal (eGFR <59 mL/min/1.73 m2) and moderate to severe hepatic (Child Pugh class B and C) impairment on marstacimab‑hncq pharmacokinetics are unknown.
Body Weight
Body weight was a significant covariate impacting the pharmacokinetics of marstacimab‑hncq. Marstacimab‑hncq exposures in adults and adolescents over the body weight range of 25 kg to 120 kg, and exposures in pediatric patients 6 to less than 12 years of age over the body weight range of 19 kg to 59 kg, show a trend for increase in exposure with decrease in body weight. However, dose adjustment based on body weight is not required for any of the age groups.
Pediatric Patients
Patients 12 to less than 18 years of age: Marstacimab‑hncq exposures (geometric mean steady‑state AUC, Cmax and Cmin) were 2.6- to 3.2‑fold higher in adolescents compared to adult patients with hemophilia; however, body weight accounts for most of these differences in exposures. These differences in PK did not translate to a clinically relevant difference in levels of the downstream pharmacodynamic marker peak thrombin between adults and adolescents.
Patients 6 to less than 12 years of age: Marstacimab‑hncq exposures (geometric mean steady‑state AUC, Cmax and Cmin) in patients with hemophilia 6 to less than 12 years of age are approximately 1.2- to 1.5‑fold higher than those in adult patients with hemophilia and approximately 1.7- to 2.8‑fold lower than those in adolescent patients with hemophilia; however, body weight accounts for most of these differences in exposure. Similar to adults and adolescents, these differences in PK do not translate to a clinically relevant difference in levels of the downstream pharmacodynamic markers between the age groups.
