Dynamics of the Anti-factor VIII Antibody Signature During Treatment With Emicizumab (NAVIGATE)

July 7, 2023 updated by: Christoph Königs
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the changes of antibodies and inhibitors against the coagulation factor VIII in patients with severe hemophilia A receiving emicizumab therapy. No additional visits or procedures are planned. Patients in this study will continue to receive their routine care and analysis will be done from left over samples from routine visits.

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

Sampling Method

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
FVIII inhibitor development in inhibitor negative subjects
Time Frame: 3 years
Rate of FVIII inhibitor development during three years of emicizumab prophylaxis in inhibitor negative subjects. Assessed with Bethesda Assay (BU/ml). Number of patients who develop an FVIII inhibitor within the study period, but were FVIII inhibitor negative at start of the study.
3 years
FVIII antibody development in inhibitor negative subjects
Time Frame: 3 years
Rate of FVIII antibody development during three years of emicizumab prophylaxis in inhibitor negative subjects. FVIII anti drug antibody (ADA) is assessed by FVIII specific ELISA (OD=Optical Density). Number of patients who develop an FVIII antibody (ADA) within the study period, but were FVIII inhibitor negative at start of the study.
3 years
FVIII inhibitor disappearance in inhibitor positive subjects
Time Frame: 3 years
Rate of FVIII inhibitor disappearance during three years of emicizumab prophylaxis in inhibitor positive subjects. Assessed with Bethesda Assay (BU/ml). Number of patients who loose an FVIII inhibitor within the study period, but were FVIII inhibitor positive at start of the study.
3 years
FVIII antibody disappearance in inhibitor positive subjects
Time Frame: 3 years
Rate of FVIII antibody disappearance during three years of emicizumab prophylaxis in inhibitor positive subjects. FVIII anti drug antibody (ADA) is assessed by FVIII specific ELISA (OD=Optical Density). Number of patients who develop an FVIII antibody within the study period, but were FVIII inhibitor positive at start of the study.
3 years

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
Anti-FVIII inhibitor development
Time Frame: 3 years
Anti-FVIII inhibitor development (median BU/ml) over time. Assessed with Bethesda Assay (BU/ml). Description of inhibitor development in the different patient groups within the study period. Cut off is 0,6 BU/ml.
3 years
Anti-FVIII antibody development
Time Frame: 3 years

3 years
Time to negative inhibitor titers
Time Frame: 3 years
Time to negative inhibitor titers. Assessed with Bethesda Assay (BU/ml). Description of the Time (days) observed for FVIII inhibitor disappearance within the study period in the patient groups. Cut off for inhibitor titer is 0,6 BU/ml.
3 years
Treatment of bleeds
Time Frame: 3 years
Description of the use of FVIII and/or Bypassing agents treatment in addition to Emicizumab treatment in case of bleeds.
3 years
Response to treatment
Time Frame: 3 years
Classification of bleeds as Effective, Partially Effective, Ineffective. Defined as: Effective: Bleeding episode responded to the usual number of injections or dose of FVIII as expected by the treating physician; Partially Effective: The bleeding episode responded with a higher number of injections and/or dose as expected by the treating physician; Ineffective: Routine failure to control hemostasis or hemostatic control required additional agents
3 years
Quality of the antibody response (FVIII epitopes)
Time Frame: 3 years
Description of the location of FVIII epitopes over time, assessed by epitope mapping technique (ELISA)
3 years
Quality of the antibody response (IgG subclasses)
