Nuwiq Dosing and Outcomes In the ManagEment of Women/Girls With Haemophilia A Needing FVIII Treatment for Surgery

Nuwiq Dosing and Outcomes In the ManagEment of Women/Girls With Haemophilia A Needing FVIII Treatment for Surgery - an International, Open-label, Non-controlled Study (NuDIMENSION)

Recombinant factor VIII for the prevention of bleeding in women/girls with haemophilia A undergoing major surgery

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Hemophilia A
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Nuwiq

Participation Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

• Ages Eligible for Study: Child; Adult; Older Adult
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Women/girls with haemophilia A (FVIII:C ≥1-<40%) according to medical history. Additionally, women/girls with documented FVIII activity levels between ≥ 40% and 50% may be included if there is a documented history of clinically significant bleeding episodes consistent with haemophilia A; and/or either documented prior treatment with FVIII concentrates or a clinical indication that FVIII treatment would have been appropriate (e.g., use of FVIII from a family member, or treatment with alternative haemostatic agents due to access limitations)
2. At least 12 years of age
3. Scheduled to undergo major surgery* requiring FVIII treatment, including elective and emergency procedures and caesarean section in pregnant women with haemophilia A
4. Freely given written informed consent of the patient, or parent/legal representative where applicable, obtained in accordance with local regulations

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Coagulation disorder other than haemophilia A
2. Present or past FVIII inhibitor (≥0.6 Bethesda units [BU]/mL)
3. Severe liver or kidney disease (alanine aminotransferase [ALT] and/or aspartate aminotransferase [AST] levels >5 times the upper limit of normal; or creatinine >120 μmol/L)
4. Known hypersensitivity to Nuwiq's active substance or its excipients (sucrose, sodium chloride, calcium chloride dihydrate, arginine hydrochloride, sodium citrate dihydrate, poloxamer 188)
5. Pregnancy, except in participants with a planned caesarean section
6. Already had surgery in this study
7. Current participation in another interventional clinical trial
8. Treatment with any investigational medicinal product (IMP) within 30 days prior to screening visit

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Nuwiq; All patients receiving Nuwiq (recombinant FVIII). Nuwiq will be administered intravenously in accordance with the relevant prescribing information. Treatment will be repeated as necessary every 8-24 hours until adequate wound healing, then - if required - for at least another 7 days to maintain FVIII plasma levels of 30-60 IU/dL.	Drug: Nuwiq; Nuwiq is a purified B-domain-deleted FVIII glycoprotein synthesised by a genetically engineered human embryonic kidney cell line (HEK 293F).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Overall haemostatic efficacy	Overall haemostatic efficacy of treatment measured as binary "success" or "failure". The overall perioperative haemostatic efficacy of Nuwiq will be adjudicated by an Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) and determined using a composite assessment algorithm that considers the surgeon's assessment of intraoperative haemostatic efficacy and the investigator's assessment of postoperative haemostatic efficacy to classify the overall haemostatic efficacy as success or failure.	During surgery and until completion of wound healing (e.g. removal of sutures, cessation of drainage, etc.) as defined by the investigator, during the study duration of 30 ± 3 days after the day of surgical procedure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Intraoperative haemostatic efficacy	Assessment of intraoperative haemostatic efficacy of Nuwiq using a 4-point ordinal scale: Excellent: Intraoperative blood loss was lower than or equal to the average expected blood loss for the type of procedure performed in a patient with normal haemostasis and of the same sex, age, and stature Good: Intraoperative blood loss was higher than the average expected blood loss but lower or equal to the maximal expected blood loss for the type of procedure in a patient with normal haemostasis. Moderate: Intraoperative blood loss was higher than the maximum expected blood loss for the type of procedure performed in a patient with normal haemostasis, but haemostasis was controlled. None: Haemostasis was uncontrolled, necessitating a change in the clotting factor replacement regimen.	During surgery: From first skin incision to last suture
FVIII plasma levels	Perioperative plasma levels	≤30 minutes before and 15-30 minutes after Nuwiq injection
Postoperative haemostatic efficacy	Assessment of postoperative haemostatic efficacy of Nuwiq using a 4-point ordinal scale: Excellent: No postoperative bleeding or oozing that was not due to complications of surgery. All postoperative bleeding (due to complications of surgery) was controlled with Nuwiq as anticipated for the type of procedure. Good: No postoperative bleeding or oozing that was not due to complications of surgery. Control of postoperative bleeding due to complications of surgery required increased dosing with Nuwiq or additional injections not originally anticipated for the type of procedure. Moderate: Some postoperative bleeding and oozing that was not due to complications of surgery. Control of postoperative bleeding required increased dosing with Nuwiq or additional injections not originally anticipated for the type of procedure. None: Extensive uncontrolled postoperative bleeding and oozing.	During surgery and until completion of wound healing (e.g. removal of sutures, cessation of drainage, etc.) as defined by the investigator, during the study duration of 30 ± 3 days after the day of surgical procedure
Allogenic blood products	Use of allogeneic blood products (red blood cells, platelets, and other blood products)	During surgery and until completion of wound healing (e.g. removal of sutures, cessation of drainage, etc.) as defined by the investigator, during the study duration of 30 ± 3 days after the day of surgical procedure
Perioperative haemostatic efficacy per WFH criteria	Assessed using 4-point scale recommended by WFH: Excellent: Intra- and post-operative blood loss similar to non-haemophilic patient. No extra doses of FVIII/bypassing agents needed Good: Intra- and/or post-operative blood loss slightly increased over expectation for non-haemophilic patient, but judged to be clinically insignificant. No extra doses of FVIII/bypassing agents needed Fair: Intra- and/or post-operative blood loss increased over expectation for the non-haemophilic patient, and additional treatment needed. Extra dose of FVIII/bypassing agents needed, or increased blood component of anticipated transfusion requirement Poor: Significant intra- and/or post-operative blood loss substantially increased over expectation for non-haemophilic patient, requires intervention not explained by medical issue other than haemophilia. Unexpected hypotension, unexpected transfer to ICU due to bleeding, substantially increased blood component of the anticipated transfusion requirement	≤30 minutes before and 15-30 minutes after Nuwiq injection
Adverse events	Incidence of adverse events recorded during the full study period	From start of first Nuwiq injection to 30 ±3 days following the surgical procedure
Thrombotic events	Incidence of thrombotic events during the study	From start of first Nuwiq injection to 30 ±3 days following the surgical procedure
FVIII inhibitor formation	Incidence of FVIII inhibitor formation	From start of first Nuwiq injection to 30 ±3 days following the surgical procedure
