Clinical and Health-related Outcome of rFVIIIFc Prophylaxis (CLHEAR)

May 6, 2021 updated by: Prof. Dr. Dr. Thomas Hilberg

Clinical and Health-related Outcome of rFVIIIFc Prophylaxis in Patients With Haemophilia A

Current standard therapy for patients with haemophilia (PwH) in the prevention of bleeding episodes is a prophylactic intravenous treatment with recombinant coagulation factor (F) VIII (Haemophilia A) or rather FIX (Haemophilia B) two to three times weekly. With the development of recombinant factor VIII Fc fusion protein (rFVIIIFc) the conventional routine prophylaxis regime is complemented by an extended half-life (EHL) factor replacement prophylaxis with the potential of improved bleed prevention and reduced injection frequency at similar factor consumption. Aim of this longitudinal multicentre study is to evaluate the influence of an EHL factor replacement regime with rFVIIIFc on haemophilic specific parameters (annual bleeding rate, bleeding localisation), joint status, pain, functional parameters, treatment adherence and health-related quality of life in PwH A.

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

Male

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients with moderate or severe Haemophilia A will be included in this study consecutively, who will be switched from FVIII prophylaxis on rFVIIIFc prophylaxis.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients suffering from moderate to severe haemophilia A
  • Age ≥ 18-years
  • Treatment with FVIII prophylaxis
  • Submitted written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients suffering from other bleeding diseases

  • Patients with inhibitors
  • Patients without written informed consent
  • Age < 18-year-old
  • Any surgeries up to 6 months before the examination date
  • Suffering from different rheumatologic diseases like M. Bechterew, Psoriasis or other local or generalized joint infections (Borreliosis, septic arthritis)

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 annual bleeding rate
Time Frame: one year
number of total bleedings
one year
orthopaedic joint status (Haemophilia health joint score)
Time Frame: one year
The clinical joint status will be examined in all patients with haemophilia by the World Federation Joint Examination Score and Haemophilia Joint Health Score. Higher score points imply an increased deficit in the functional and structural joint status as a sign of more pronounced haemophilic arthropathy, with a maximum possible value of 124 (no deficits = 0).
one year
pressure pain thresholds
Time Frame: one year
physiological Parameter in Newton
one year

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
spontaneous joint ABR
Time Frame: one year
number of total joint bleedings
one year
subjective quality of life (SF-36)
Time Frame: two years
The standarized questionnaire SF-36 includes a physical and psychological score. The higher the score, the higher the physical or psychological quality of life. A higher score implies a better physical and mental quality of life
two years
subjective physical performance (HEP-Test-Q)
Time Frame: two years
The final version of the standarized questionnaire consists of 25 items pertaining to the domains 'mobility', 'strength & coordination', 'endurance' and 'body perception'. The response options were a five-point Likert scale (ranging from 1 = never to 5 = always). Some of the items had to be re-coded; subscales and the total score were transformed to a scale of 0-100 with high scores indicating better physical performance
two years
self-perceived functional abilities (Haemophilia Activities List)
Time Frame: two years
The Haemophilia Activities List measures the impact of hemophilia on self-perceived functional abilities in adults. It contains 42 multiple choice questions in seven domains: Lying/sitting/kneeling/standing (8 items), Functions of the legs (9 items), Functions of the arms (4 items), Use of transportation (3 items), Self-care (5 items), Household tasks (6 items), Leisure activities and sports (7 items)
