Active clinical trials for "Hemophilia A"

This US study will assess hemophilia A patient characteristics, health history and reasons for switching or not switching from both patient/caregiver and physician perspectives. For this purpose, this research study will include hemophilia A: 1) patients who have switched from conventional therapy to new FVIII products with an improved PK profile. 2) patients who remain on conventional therapy (who have never switched) but have considered switching, including those patients who switched from conventional therapy to new FVIII products with improved pharmacokinetics and then subsequently "switched back" to conventional replacement therapy. In doing so, real world evidence will be obtained from both patient and physician perspectives offering key insights for effective therapeutic management of patients with hemophilia A and to more fully understand what drives patient switching from a patient perspective and a physician perspective.

Hemophilia A is a rare X chromosome-linked recessive bleeding disorder that concerns one individual in 5000. In its severe form, hemophilia A is a life-threatening, crippling hemorrhagic disease. The treatment of bleeding episodes in hemophilia A patients involves the administration of exogenous human FVIII to restore normal hemostasis. The main complication of the substitutive treatment of hemophilia A is the development, in 15 to 30% of the cases, of anti-FVIII antibodies (FVIII inhibitors) that neutralize the pro-coagulant activity of therapeutically administered FVIII. In 2003, the average annual cost of care for a patient with hemophilia A was evaluated to be equal to 63,000 euros (2), which, in France (6000 patients), represents an annual budget of 378 million euros. In order to reduce the cost of treatment and to bypass this complication, different therapeutic strategies (new products or adjunctive therapeutic options) have been explored, including platelet infusion, tranexamic acid, amino caproic acid, molecules that block tissue factor pathway inhibitor, combination of phospholipid -Factor Xa- Factor XIII and antibodies directed to the Tissue Factor Inhibitor Pathway (TFPI). Recently, Soluble thrombomodulin (Solulin) have been developed. This molecule may be used to partially correct the premature lysis defect in Factor VIII deficient plasma through an activated TAFI - dependent mechanism. With a long half-life (15- to 30-hour) and effective dose range estimated to range from the sub-nanomolar to approximately 40nM, Solulin could potentially be administered on a weekly basis and provide the basis for a factor-sparing regime that would cut costs and make therapy more widely available. However, before proceeding to advanced trials, safety concerns stemming from the anticoagulant properties of Solulin must be addressed. The development of Solulin mutants lacking protein C activation capacity would make this concern redundant. At the same time, such mutant molecules are likely to possess an effective dose range. Our project is to compare the behavior of recombinant Solulin and mutants of Solulin lacking protein C activation capacity with respect to their ability to stabilize fibrin clots in whole blood of humans with different coagulation factor deficiencies (hemophilia A, hemophilia B and rare blood coagulation deficiencies (factor X, VII, V).

This is a multi-center, open-label, single-arm trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Recombinant Coagulation Factor VIII in patients with hemophilia A . Recombinant Coagulation Factor VIII is prophylactic administrated 25 - 35 IU/kg once every other day or three times per week which should be continuous for 24 weeks.

The MOrPH study is designed to identify optimal prophylaxis schedules for children with haemophilia. This involves development of combined pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic models. Interpretation of model outputs will be informed by two surveys. The first will survey families of children with haemophilia to ascertain families' values and preferences concerning prophylaxis schedules. The second will survey haemophilia physicians to ascertain the criteria physicians use to prescribe prophylaxis schedules.

This study is conducted globally. This study describes pharmacogenetic testing of saliva samples from patients who participated in the NN1731-3562 trial (adept™2) (NCT01392547). The objective is to determine the HLA (human leukocyte antigen) type and polymorphisms in the FVII gene in patients previously exposed to rFVIIa analogue.

The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics of BAY81-8973 and Advate after intravenous administration.

This is a Post-Authorization Safety Surveillance (PASS) study designed to collect data on the safety and effectiveness of ADVATE reconstituted in 2 mL Sterile water for injection (SWFI) during routine clinical practice in children until 12 years of age. This surveillance study is a post-licensure commitment for ADVATE reconstituted in 2 mL SWFI.

This study is to describe the safety and efficacy of Xyntha® during the usual care setting.

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®) under normal clinical practice conditions.

This study is conducted in Japan. The aim of this registry study is to observe the use of single dose and multi-dose use of eptacog alpha (NovoSeven®) and to compare short-term outcomes, including effectiveness, safety, quality of life and treatment satisfaction with the approved treatments.
