A Study Comparing Factor Level and Inhibitor Titer Testing Results Drawn From Central Venous Lines and Venipuncture (CVL#2)

January 5, 2021 updated by: Children's Mercy Hospital Kansas City
The purpose of this research study is to see if factor levels and inhibitor levels in Hemophilia A and B subjects are accurate when they are drawn from a central venous line (CVL) instead of from a peripheral stick.

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

Patients with hemophilia A and B sometimes require the placement of a central venous line (CVL). A CVL is a medical device that is placed into a vein that gives easier access to a vein either for a blood draw or to give factor replacement product.

Patients with hemophilia are usually seen by the hemophilia doctor every year at the annual comprehensive clinic visit. As part of this visit, the doctor usually orders routine blood tests, including the factor level and inhibitor titer.The factor level and inhibitor blood tests are always taken through a "peripheral stick." A peripheral stick means that a small needle is inserted into a vein in order to obtain a blood sample. The CVL is not used for these blood draws. This is because the investigators don't know if the infusion of factor replacement product and heparin (a blood thinning drug used to flush the line after a factor infusion) can cause the blood sample results to be incorrect. The current practice is to take blood through a needle stick in the vein because the investigators can be sure that the results are accurate.

When blood draws are taken through a peripheral stick, it can cause children with hemophilia to be very anxious because of the pain involved with a needle stick. Also, the needle stick can sometimes cause a bleed, which may require treatment.

The purpose of this research study is to see if factor levels and inhibitor levels are accurate when they are drawn from a CVL instead of from a peripheral stick.

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

1 year to 21 years (ADULT, CHILD)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Male

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Subjects with moderate or severe Hemophilia A or B.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Children and adults with hemophilia A or B, ages 1-21 who have CVLs for factor infusion and who are prescribed factor prophylaxis for treatment of their bleeding disorder will be included.
  • Subjects will be recruited from active patients at federally funded hemophilia treatment centers (HTCs).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • None

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
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.
Hemophilia Patients
Subjects diagnosed with moderate or severe Hemophilia A or B who use a central venous line (CVL) for regular prophylaxis factor infusions and are at the clinic for a standard of care visit. As part of the study all subjects will have blood drawn through their CVL and will also undergo a peripheral vein blood draw.
Procedure: Peripheral Vein Blood draw
Drawing blood through a peripheral vein in the arm.

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
Time Frame
Evaluate the equivalence between coagulation labs drawn from central venous line to those drawn peripherally. Primary measurements will be done on factor levels resulted as percent of normal, and inhibitor titers resulted in Bethesda Units (BU).
Time Frame: within 15 minutes pre-infusion of a factor replacement product
within 15 minutes pre-infusion of a factor replacement product
Evaluate the equivalence between coagulation labs drawn from central venous line to those drawn peripherally. Primary measurements will be done on factor levels resulted as percent of normal, and inhibitor titers resulted in Bethesda Units (BU).
Time Frame: 15 minutes after the infustion of a factor replacement product
15 minutes after the infustion of a factor replacement product

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

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.
