About this trial

This is an interventional basic science trial for Hemophilia A focused on measuring Hemophilia A with inhibitors, In vitro, Emicizumab

Eligibility Criteria

12 Years - 120 Years (Child, Adult, Older Adult)MaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Signed Informed Consent/Assent Form
  • Male patients, Age 12 years and older at time of signing Informed Consent Form
  • Ability to comply with the study protocol, in the investigator's judgment
  • Diagnosis of severe hemophilia A and are receiving emicizumab prophylaxis, on a weekly maintenance regimen

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Not able to sign consent
  • Not willing to provide extra blood for the experiments.
  • Patients carrying the diagnoses of other coagulopathies in addition to hemophilia A
  • Patients that have received any hemostatic agent within 5 half-lives of the blood draw. This applies to any agent that might have been used for any reason prior to the blood draw and might affect the global hemostasis.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Patient Group

Arm Description

In vitro spiking experiments will be realized in plasmas from patients with severe haemophilia A on emicizumab using increasing concentrations of factor IX (rFIX), Activated prothrombin complex (aPCC) and recombinant VIIa (rFVIIa).

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Determine the homeostatic effect of adding Factor IX concentrate to the plasma of patients with Hemophilia A with inhibitors on emicizumab using peak thrombin
Peak thrombin is a thrombin generation profile. The investigators will compare the peak thrombin obtained when spiking patient's plasma with Factor IX concentrates to that obtained when spiking patient's plasma with aPCC and rFVIIa on emicizumab prophylaxis.
Determine the hemostatic effect of Factor IX concentrates and recombinant porcine FVIII when added to the plasma of patients with Hemophilia A with inhibitors on emicizumab using peak thrombin
The investigators will compare the peak thrombin obtained when spiking patient's plasma with Factor IX concentrates to that obtained when spiking patient's plasma with recombinant porcine FVIII on emicizumab prophylaxis.
Determine the homeostatic effect of adding Factor IX concentrate to the plasma of patients with Hemophilia A with inhibitors on emicizumab using Endogenous Thrombin Potential (ETP)
Endogenous Thrombin Potential is a thrombin generation profile. The investigators will compare the Endogenous Thrombin Potential obtained when spiking patient's plasma with Factor IX concentrates to that obtained when spiking patient's plasma with aPCC and rFVIIa on emicizumab prophylaxis.
Determine the hemostatic effect of Factor IX concentrates and recombinant porcine FVIII when added to the plasma of patients with Hemophilia A with inhibitors on emicizumab using Endogenous Thrombin Potential (ETP)
The investigators will compare the Endogenous Thrombin Potential obtained when spiking patient's plasma with Factor IX concentrates to that obtained when spiking patient's plasma with recombinant porcine FVIII on emicizumab prophylaxis.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This trial will enroll patients with severe hemophilia A. Experiments will be run in vitro by spiking patients' blood with different molecules (currently used and theoretically proposed as adjunctive therapy to emicizumab), therefore no more than minimal direct risk to patients is expected. This is a pilot preclinical study.
Detailed Description
The study aims to determine the hemostatic effect of different Factor IX (FIX) concentrates when added to the plasma of patients on emicizumab prophylaxis and compare it to the hemostatic effect obtained with the addition of bypassing agents (activated prothrombin complex aPCC, and recombinant VIIa rVIIA, recombinant porcine FVIII). The investigators will study the hemostatic effect using Thrombin Generation assay (CAT) in the presence of different concentrations of FIX concentrates. The investigators will compare the hemostatic effect of added FIX to the effect of added bypassing agents (activated prothrombin complex aPCC, and recombinant VIIa rVIIA, recombinant porcine FVIII) Plasma will be collected from patients with hemophilia A and inhibitors treated with Emicizumab, a group of plasma samples will be spiked with different concentrations of Factor IX. Thrombin generation profiles will be obtained using CAT. Another group of plasma samples will be spiked with different concentrations of by passing agents (activated prothrombin complex aPCC, and recombinant VIIa rVIIA, recombinant porcine FVIII). Thrombin generation profiles will be obtained using CAT.
