July 5, 2017 updated by: Octapharma

Prospective, Open-label, Multicenter Phase 3b Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Individually Tailored Prophylaxis With Human-cl rhFVIII in Previously Treated Adult Patients With Severe Haemophilia A

To compare the number of breakthrough bleeds under tailored prophylaxis with Human cell line recombinant factor FVIII (Human-cl rhFVIII) with the historical bleeding rate from patients who received Human-cl rhFVIII as on demand treatment.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

There were 3 phases in this study: (1) An initial pharmacokinetic (PK) assessment in which participants received a single infusion of 60±5 IU/kg of Human-cl rhFVIII; blood samples were collected for 72 hours following the infusion. (2) Prophylactic Treatment-Phase I during which participants received infusions of 30-40 IU/kg of human-cl rhFVIII every other day or 3x/week for 1-3 months. (3) Prophylactic Treatment-Phase II during which the dose and dosing interval were determined individually from data gathered in the initial PK assessment. The maximum dosing interval with a dose of ≤ 60-80 IU/kg that maintains a trough level of ≥ 0.01 IU/mL was determined. Participants were treated for 6 months.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Severe haemophilia A (FVIII:C < 1%) according to medical history.
  • Male patients ≥ 18 years old.
  • Previous treatment with a FVIII concentrate (regular prophylaxis with good compliance or on-demand treatment) for at least 150 exposure days (EDs).
  • Good documentation regarding dosing and bleeding frequency in the 6 months preceding study start.
  • Immunocompetence (CD4+ count > 200/microliter).
  • HIV-negative, if positive, viral load < 200 particles/microliter or < 400,000 copies/mL.

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
Annualized Number of Bleeding Episodes (BE) in Phase II
Time Frame: Beginning to the end of Phase II (6 months)
The annualized number of total BEs was calculated for each participant as follows: d*y/t, where y = the number of BEs documented in Phase II, t = the number of treatment periods in days, and d = 365.25, the number of days per year. A bleeding episode (BE) was defined as any BE whether treated or not during Phase II of the study; BEs related to surgery were not included. This study was considered as showing efficacy if the annualized number of BEs was reduced by 50% compared to the number of BEs observed in study GENA-01 where patient where severe Hemophilia A patients were treated on-demand (NCT00989196).
Beginning to the end of Phase II (6 months)

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Annualized Number of Spontaneous Bleeding Episodes (BE) in Phase II
Time Frame: Beginning to the end of Phase II (6 months)
The annualized number of spontaneous BEs was calculated for each participant as follows: d*y/t, where y = the number of spontaneous BEs documented in Phase II, t = the number of treatment periods in days, and d = 365.25, the number of days per year. A spontaneous bleeding episode (BE) was defined as a BE whether treated or not during Phase II of the study. BEs related to surgery and BEs due to trauma or due to other causes were not included.
Beginning to the end of Phase II (6 months)
Annualized Number of Bleeding Episodes (BE) in Phase II in Participants With ≤ 2 Treatments/Week
Time Frame: Beginning to the end of Phase II (6 months)
The annualized number of BEs was calculated for each participant as follows: d*y/t, where y = the number of BEs documented in Phase II, t = the number of treatment periods in days, and d = 365.25, the number of days per year. A bleeding episode (BE) was defined as a BE whether treated or not during Phase II of the study. BEs related to surgery were not included.
Beginning to the end of Phase II (6 months)
Median Dosing Interval During Individually Tailored Prophylaxis
Time Frame: Beginning to the end of Phase II (6 months)
The median time between 2 prophylactic doses of Human-cl rhFVIII in the prophylactic treatment phase II were determined per patient
Beginning to the end of Phase II (6 months)
Dosage Per Week in Phase II
Time Frame: Beginning to the end of Phase II (6 months)
The mean dosage per week during Phase II of the study are reported.
Beginning to the end of Phase II (6 months)
