E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated | Severe hemophilia A (FVIII:C <1%) in male subjects <12 years of age. | |
E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language | Hemophilia A is a condition where blood clotting is severely impaired and which also results in internal bleeding into the muscles and joints. It is a hereditary condition only found in the male. | |

E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial | To evaluate the pharmacokinetics and incremental recovery of ReFacto AF in pediatric subjects less than 12 years of age after a single exposure to ReFacto AF. | |
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial | To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ReFacto AF in pediatric subjects less than 12 years of age, including the frequency of less than expected therapeutic effect. | |
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria | 1) Male subjects <12 years of age with a documented history of severe hemophilia A (FVIII:C <1%). a) Subjects who are <6 years of age must have had at least 50 exposure days to prior FVIII products (including blood products). b) Subjects who are ≥6 years of age must have had greater than 150 exposure days to prior FVIII products (including blood products) | |
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria | 1) For laboratory assessments, any measured Bethesda inhibitor titer ≥0.6 BU, regardless of the laboratory normal range, or any Bethesda inhibitor titer > ULN for the testing laboratory at the time of screening. 2) Any other bleeding disorder in addition to hemophilia A. 3) Treatment with any investigational drug or device within 30 days before the time of signing the parental informed consent/assent form. 4) Major surgery planned to occur during the course of the study. 5) Regular (e.g., daily; every other day) use of agents or medications known to influence platelet function such as aspirin or certain nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). 6) Regular, concomitant therapy with immunomodulating drugs (e.g., intravenous immunoglobulin [IVIG], routine systemic corticosteroids), or currently receiving immune tolerance induction (ITI) for inhibitor treatment. 7) The subject is receiving treatment for HIV or hepatitis infection (exceptions may be made for subjects on a stable antiviral regimen [i.e., consistent treatment regimen for at least 3 months before signing the parental informed consent/assent form]). 8) Platelet count <100,000/µL. 9) Prothrombin time (PT) ≥1.25 x ULN, or international normalized ratio (INR) ≥1.5. 10) Known hypersensitivity to hamster protein. 11) Any condition(s) that compromises the subject’s ability to comply with and/or perform study-related activities or that poses a clinical contraindication to study participation (these conditions include, but are not limited to, inadequate medical history available to assure study eligibility; inability to properly store study medication; expectation of poor compliance in study related documentation; poor venous access), in the opinion of the investigator. 12) Unwilling or unable to follow the terms of the protocol. | |
E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) | The primary safety outcome is the development of clinically significant FVIII inhibitors. Clinically significant inhibitors are defined as a central laboratory confirmed positive inhibitor (≥0.6 BU using the Nijmegen modification of the Bethesda assay present at 2 consecutive blood draws within a 6 week interval) and the occurrence of one or more of the following clinical observations: decreased FVIII recovery, need for alternative hemostatic products, increase in number of breakthrough bleeds while on preventative or prophylactic treatment, or more than one report of Less Than Expected Therapeutic Effect (LETE) in the absence of confounding factors. | |
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point | The endpoint will be evaluated at the following visits: ED1, ED10-15, ED 50, ED 100 and each 6 Month visits. | |
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) | Evaluation of safety and efficacy in subjects less than 12 years of age | |
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point | The endpoint will be evaluated at the following visits: ED1, ED10-15, ED 50, ED 100 and each 6 Month visits. | |
