A Trial to Compare Prophylaxis Therapy to On-demand Therapy With a New Full Length Recombinant FVIII in Patients With Severe Hemophilia A (Leopold II)

October 14, 2016 updated by: Bayer

A Phase II/III, Randomized, Cross-over, Open-label Trial to Demonstrate Superiority of Prophylaxis Over On-demand Therapy in Previously Treated Subjects With Severe Hemophilia A Treated With Plasma Protein-free Recombinant FVIII Formulated With Sucrose (BAY 81-8973)

The objective of the trial is to demonstrate that 2-3 times per week prophylaxis therapy with BAY81-8973 is superior to on-demand therapy with BAY81-8973 in patients with severe Hemophilia A. The hypothesis is that prophylaxis will result in fewer bleeds than on-demand treatment.
