Bone Microarchitecture in Men With Hemophilia (HEMOS)

April 16, 2024 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon

Hemophilia A and B are hereditary sex-linked deficiencies of coagulation factors VIII and IX characterized by bleeding. Their modern therapy increases life expectancy and risk of age-related diseases, e.g., osteoporosis.

Hemophilia-specific risk factors impair formation of peak bone mass and accelerate bone loss. Fractures are more frequent in hemophilic men vs. age-matched men and induce bleeding which is aggravated by manipulations and surgical intervention.

The hypothesis of this study is that hemophilic men have poor bone microarchitecture (assessed by High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT)) related to an imbalance between bone formation and resorption (assessed by bone turnover markers (BTM) and bone biomarkers).

The study aims to assess the difference in low trabecular number (Tb.N) at the distal radius between hemophilic men (cases) and age- height-weight-ethnicity and smoking-matched healthy men (controls). Correlation between BTM and Tb.N will be also studied.

Biologic markers of bone remodeling (C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (PINP), N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (CTX-I), periostin) will be studied.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: severe hemophilia A or B patients
30 patients with severe hemophilia A or B (Factor (F)VIII or Factor IX (FIX)≤ 1%) aged 20 to 60 years will be included in this study.
Patients will have a unique HR-pQCT scanner imaging to study their bone microarchitecture
Patients will have a unique blood sampling of 10 mL for the measurements of sera PINP, CTX-I, periostin levels
A dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scan of lumbar spine, hip, distal radius and whole body, body composition, lateral spine will be performed.
Other: healthy men
Data of healthy men, matching in age- height-weight-ethnicity and smoking-matched with patient will be collected. These data are already available at the "Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale" (INSERM) research unit associated.
Data of healthy men is already available

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
number of trabecular at distal tibia
Time Frame: 3 months following the inclusion
The number of trabecular at distal tibia will be performed and compared to the values available for the healthy control group
3 months following the inclusion
number of trabecular at distal radius
Time Frame: 3 months following the inclusion
The number of trabecular at distal radius will be performed and compared to the values available for the healthy control group
3 months following the inclusion

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Sera bone remodeling biomarkers
Time Frame: 3 months following the inclusion

This biomarkers will be performed:

  • PINP (ng/ml)
  • CTX-1 (ng/ml)
  • Periostin (ng/ml)
3 months following the inclusion
reflection of bone strength
Time Frame: 3 months following the inclusion
Micro-Finite Element Analysis (µFEA) reflection of bone strength will be performed and compared to the values available for the healthy control group
3 months following the inclusion
Trabecular Bone Score (TBS)
Time Frame: 3 months following the inclusion
Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) will be performed and compared to the values available for the healthy control group The trabecular bone score is a measure of bone texture correlated with bone microarchitecture and a marker for the risk of osteoporosis
3 months following the inclusion
