Hemophilia Inhibitor Previously Untreated Patient Study (HIPS)

November 9, 2020 updated by: Deborah Brown, The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston

Study of Immunologic Determinants of Inhibitor Development in Previously Untreated Patients With Hemophilia

Hemophilia A is a congenital bleeding disorder caused by deficiency of factor VIII (FVIII) and is treated by replacement therapy with FVIII concentrate. Approximately 30% of people with severe hemophilia A develop neutralizing antibodies, called FVIII inhibitors, which interfere with the function of FVIII concentrates. The reason that some, but not all, people with severe hemophilia A develop inhibitors is incompletely understood. Understanding individual and environmental risk factors is important to be able to prevent and possibly treat inhibitors. This study will look at individual and treatment characteristics in babies with severe hemophilia A who have not yet received treatment with FVIII (called Previously Untreated Patients, or PUPS). Subjects in the study will be asked to provide diaries of treatments, medications, and illnesses. Treatment will be directed by the subjects' physician, but all subjects will receive Advate, a third-generation recombinant FVIII product. Subjects will have blood drawn for laboratory tests, which include studies of the immune system and genetic studies of the FVIII mutation, before and 7-9 days after the first treatment with FVIII, and 5 days (+/-2 days) after the 5th, 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th, and 50th days of treatment with FVIII (exposure days). The duration of the study will be first 50 treatments or 3 years, whichever comes first.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Total number of FOXP3-positive T regulatory cells in the circulation
Time Frame: 50 exposure days to FVIII or 3 years, whichever comes first
FoxP3(a protein involved in immune system responses)-positive T regulatory cells in the circulation will be compared before and after exposure to FVIII.
50 exposure days to FVIII or 3 years, whichever comes first

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
