About this trial

This is an interventional basic science trial for Hemophilia A focused on measuring factor VIII, hemophilia A, assay

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)MaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • adults with hemophilia A
  • factor VIII less that 2%
  • informed consent signed
  • absence of an inhibitor

Exclusion Criteria:

  • history of a high responding inhibitor anemia

Sites / Locations

  • Department of Biochemistry University of Vermont

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

FVIII immuno-assay

Arm Description

The study is not designed as a therapeutic evaluation, but an assessment of clotting factor VIII timed responses after the infusion of specified doses of licensed clotting factor VIII concentrates. The purpose of the study is to measure the levels of infused licensed clotting factor VIII by standard assay techniques and comparing these standard assays with an experimental assay. Measurements of possible co-factors that might impact the results were also carried out.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The level of Factor VIII in pMols

Secondary Outcome Measures

The possible role of VWF, factor concentrate type and non-inhibitory antibody presence or absence on the FVIII antigen levels

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
A novel immuno-assay is being evaluated for the measurement of Factor VIII. Current procedure measures a rate assay which is subject to much artefact. The hypothesis is that the new assay will give a reading of absolute quantities of FVIII which will provide a more suitable indicator of FVIII content for clotting factor manufacturers, physicians and patients.
Detailed Description
Remnant samples collected in a clinical laboratory are assayed with the new procedure and compared with the standard functional activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) assay. A PK study in seven study subjects with hemophilia A is being carried out using five different commercially licensed factor VIII concentrates and the blood samples drawn for the PK analysis are being measured for FVIII with the novel assay and compared with the standard APTT assay. The concentrates used in the PK studies are also being applied to the two assay systems to determine each product's specific activity.
