Prophylaxis Study of Recombinant Factor VIII Manufactured Protein-Free (rAHF-PFM) in Patients With Hemophilia A
April 28, 2021 updated by: Baxalta now part of Shire
Advate Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), Plasma/Albumin Free Method (ADVATE rAHF-PFM): A Phase 4 Study Comparing Two Prophylactic Regimens in Subjects With Severe or Moderately Severe Hemophilia A
The primary purpose of this randomized, two-arm parallel clinical study in 66 previously treated patients with severe or moderately severe hemophilia A is to compare the rate of bleeding episodes for standard prophylaxis (20-40 IU/kg every 48 ± 6 hours; actual dose determined by the investigator) with that of alternate prophylaxis (20-80 IU/kg every 72 + 6 hours; actual dose determined by Baxter utilizing an algorithm and the patient's pharmacokinetic data).
The rates of bleeding episodes for the on-demand regimen and the prophylaxis regimens will also be compared for the cross-over portion of the study.
Enrolled patients will be treated originally on demand for a period of 6 months and then they will be randomized into one of the prophylaxis arms.
Prophylactic treatment will last for a period of 12 months +/- 2 weeks.

Participants were Randomized to Receive 1 of the 2 Following Prophylaxis Regimens (Study Part 2): 1.
Standard prophylaxis (20-40 IU/kg (every 48 ±6 hour), exact regimen determined by investigator) 2. PK-driven prophylaxis (20-80 IU/kg (every 72 ±6 hour), exact regimen determined by sponsor) Annualized bleed rates were transformed using the square root of the number of bleeding episodes observed (X = bleeds/year), X' = √(X + 0.5).
