Active clinical trials for "Hemophilia A"

Haemophilia is a rare bleeding disorder, characterized by factor VIII (HA) or factor IX (HB) deficiency. The absence or the reduction of fVIII or fIX result in impaired thrombin generation and clot formation, causing excessive bleeding (mainly haemarthrosis). Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease characterized by a low bone mineral density (BMD). A decrease of mean BMD has been described in haemophilic patients compared to healthy controls in several studies. So, osteoporosis could be an underestimated haemophilia-related comorbidity. None of the following risk factors (reduced physical activity, joint damage, vitamin D deficiency and /or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection) has been retained as a cause of osteoporosis in haemophilic patients. Another hypothesis is that bone loss could be directly linked to fVIII or fIX and/or thrombin deficiency. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of the bone loss in HA and B patients, according to the type, the severity and the presence (or not) of a prophylactic treatment (depending on the age at which it was began) and to compare it to a control population. The investigators will also evaluate the relation between BMD and FVIII, fIX and thrombin potential.

This study will test how well a new medicine called concizumab works in the body of people with haemophilia A or B with inhibitors. The purpose is to show that concizumab can prevent bleeds in the body and is safe to use. Participants who usually only take medicine to treat bleeds (on-demand) will be placed in one of two groups. In one group, participants will get study medicine from the start of the study. In the other group, participants will continue with their normal medicine and get study medicine after 6 months. Which treatment the participant gets is decided by chance. Participants who usually take medicine to prevent bleeds (prophylaxis treatment) or who are already being treated with concizumab (study medicine) will receive the study medicine from the start of the study. Participants will get 1 injection with the study medicine every day under the skin. This participants will have to do themselves and can be done at home. The study doctor will hand out the medicine in the form of a pen-injector. The pen-injector will contain the study medicine. The study will last for about six years. The length of time the participants will be in the study depends on when they agreed to take part or when the medicine is available for purchase in their country (12 November 2025 at the latest). Participants will have to come to the clinic for up to 41 times. The time between visits will be approximately 4 weeks for the first 6 to 12 months, depending on the group participants are in and approximately 8 weeks for the rest of the study. Participants will be asked to record information into an electronic diary during the study and may also be asked to wear an activity tracker.

Newborn screening (NBS) is a global initiative of systematic testing at birth to identify babies with pre-defined severe but treatable conditions. With a simple blood test, rare genetic conditions can be easily detected, and the early start of transformative treatment will help avoid severe disabilities and increase the quality of life. Baby Detect Project is an innovative NBS program using a panel of target sequencing that aims to identify 126 treatable severe early onset genetic diseases at birth caused by 361 genes. The list of diseases has been established in close collaboration with the Paediatricians of the University Hospital in Liege. The investigators use dedicated dried blood spots collected between the first day and 28 days of life of babies, after a consent sign by parents.

The main objectives of this study are to evaluate safety and chronic effects of a low-load resistance exercise intervention (elbow flexions and extensions, and shoulder abductions) with blood flow restriction in people with hemophilia on quality of life, pain, and on physical and neuromuscular function.

A low-intervention study to learn about the long-term safety and efficacy of giroctocogene fitelparvovec or fidanacogene elaparvovec in patients with hemophilia A or hemophilia B respectively, who have received treatment through prior participation in a Pfizer-sponsored clinical trial. Data collection and participant visits will be based on standard of care.

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

Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency of clotting factors in the blood. Muscle and joint bleeding are frequently observed in patients with hemophilia. Lower extremity bleeding can adversely affect balance, gait, and proprioception. The goal of this study; To compare the effectiveness of closed kinetic chain exercises and proprioceptive exercises on balance, proprioception and gait parameters in adolescent and young hemophilic individuals with lower extremity joint involvement. The main question it aims to answer is: Are the effects of closed kinetic chain exercises and proprioceptive exercises different on balance and walking in hemophilic individuals?

This is a single-arm, open-label, clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability of BBM 002 injection in Hemophilia A subjects with residual factor VIII (FVIII) levels ≤2 International unit per deciliter (IU/dl) . BBM 002 injection is an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector derived from recombinant DNA techniques to contain an expression cassette of the human factor VIII (hFVIII) transgene and raises circulating levels of endogenous FVIII.

Background The treatment of haemophilia A and B has been revolutionized by the use of factor concentrate, both as prophylaxis and to treat bleeding episodes (on-demand treatment). However, despite its advantages, repeated treatment with factor concentrate can lead to development of inhibitors (antibodies) towards the coagulation factor in the concentrate. Another patient group in which the bleeding symptoms are difficult to treat because of inhibitors towards coagulation factors, most commonly FVIII, is patients with acquired haemophilia. Patients with high antibody titers exhibit a deficient or no response to factor concentrates and usually need treatment with bypassing agents, namely factor eight inhibitor bypassing agent (FEIBA®, Baxter) och recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa, Novo-Seven®, Novo Nordisk). The effect of the treatment cannot be accurately monitored by traditional coagulation tests. The aim of the study is to evaluate the utility of the global haemostatic methods in patients with haemophilia with inhibitors. The objective is to improve the monitoring of the treatment effect and thus increase the safety of the patient and the effectiveness of the treatment. Patients and methods Patients The primary cohort will consist of fifteen patients with inherited haemophilia with inhibitors as well as five adult patients with acquired haemophilia who are followed up at the Coagulation Department of the Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden. Blood samples will be collected from those patients at specific time points (see Design of the study) during the course of two years (for each patient). The treatment (type, dose, duration) will be determined by the treating physician. Methods (selection) Thrombin generation (Calibrated Automated Thrombogram, CAT® and a commercial kit from Siemens®). Overall haemostatic potential (OHP) Design of the study Timeframe for blood sampling: i) baseline (inclusion in the study), and ii) prior and after administration of bypassing agents to either treat bleeding symptoms or before an invasive procedure or as prophylaxis. Data analysis The variations in coagulation markers measured as described above (Methods) will be associated to the clinical symptoms (bleeding), the level of coagulation factors (if measurable) and the titers of the inhibitors.

The main aim of this study is to check if there are side effects from BAX 888 and to determine the dose of BAX 888 for treating severe hemophilia A in male adults. Participants will receive one infusion with BAX 888 at the hemophilia treatment center. During the study, participants will visit their study clinic multiple times.
