Hemophilia is a rare X-linked bleeding disorder responsible for deficiency of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) or IX (FIX). The main clinical manifestation is increased bleeding throughout the life which is directly correlated to the severity of the hemophilia, either mild (FVIII/FIX: 6-40), moderate (FVIII/FIX: 1-5%), or severe (FVIII/FIX<1%). Thanks to new therapies and long-term specialized follow-up by hemophilia treatment centers (HTCs), the life expectancy of patients with hemophilia (PWH) has improved considerably, even reaching that of the general population (1). Healthcare professionals are so more confronted to PWH with age-related pathologies, in particular cardiovascular pathologies such as atrial fibrillation, acute coronary syndromes or thromboembolic events (arterial or venous). It is now recommended in PWH that an anticoagulant treatment (AC) be prescribed as in the general population (2,3,4). The recently published COCHE study demonstrated a significantly increased risk of bleeding in PWH receiving antithrombotic treatment. This bleeding risk depended significantly on the type of antithrombotic treatment, which was higher for anticoagulant vs antiplatelet drugs, on basal levels of FVIII or FIX, and on the HAS-BLED score (5). Nowadays in the general population, among anticoagulant drugs, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are preferred to vitamin K antagonist (KVA), thanks to their reduced risk of bleeding particularly intracerebral bleeding and better anticoagulant stability over time (6). However, we do not yet know precisely whether DOACs could occupy the same place in the PWH population because of the lack of evidence-based data due to the very small number of these patients, although some authors already recommend them over KVA. The KADOAH study was therefore set up to try to provide initial elements for future recommendations. Its main objective was to compare the level of bleeding risk of PWH treated with VKA vs DOACs.

Personalized therapy in haemophilia has not been reached yet. Treatment is substitutive and its doses are only based on the levels of deficient factor VIII (for haemophilia A) or IX (for haemophilia B). The bleeding severity is not only related to the factor deficiency but also to levels of other coagulation factors (e.g. factor X, II, AT or TFPI). It's necessary to take them into account in order to individualize treatments; and Thrombin Generation Assay (TGA) with the CAT method (Calibrated Automated Thrombography) is a good way because it measures the result of the coagulation cascade. TGA on Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is even closer to physiological conditions than on Platelet Poor Plasma (PPP) because platelet influence is represented. It has already been shown (at least in PPP) that the bleeding tendency in haemophilic patients is usually well correlated to TG. Some TG parameters are used to characterize the individual coagulation phenotype, the most important being the Endogenous Thrombin Potential (ETP) and the Lag Time (LT). A hemorrhagic profile usually provides a longer lag time and / or a lower ETP. However, only few studies tried to determine the influence of each coagulation factor and inhibitor on TG. They were done on Platelet Poor Plasma (PPP) or on lyophilized plasma. So the relation between coagulation factors and the different TG parameters remains to be determined, especially in the haemophilic case. It is possible, experimentally, to find the optimal dose of the factor to be added by measuring TG in samples with different factor VIII or IX concentrations, but this method would be time consuming and expensive, especially because it should be done for each haemophilic patient. A better way consists in using TG numerical models. For a set of initial factor levels they simulate the TG and its associated parameters. It is now essential to validate the existing models, especially in haemophilic cases, in order to see whether they are reliable and can be used in clinical practice afterwards.The objective of this study is to validate thrombin generation numerical models which could predict the factor VIII or IX activity correction to reach a thrombin generation sufficient to avoid bleeding. A comparison between the TG observed in haemophilic patients and the TG predicted by the models is needed to validate the models. In order to define a 'safe' TG i.e. sufficient to avoid bleeding, normal ranges of TG parameters have to be measured.

This study is conducted in Japan. The aim of this non-interventional study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of treatment with eptacog alpha (NovoSeven®) when undergoing surgery under normal clinical practice conditions.

This is a multi-center cohort study of approximately 250 previously untreated patients (PUPs) with congenital moderate to severe hemophilia A or B in a network of up to 50 US Hemophilia Treatment Centers (HTCs). Participants will be followed as they receive their first 50 exposure days (ED) to clotting factor replacement product, both prospectively and retrospectively. The data collected on evolving treatment practices will define the incidence and risk factors for inhibitor development during the high risk period of first 50 ED and improve the outcomes of this vulnerable population.
