Active clinical trials for "Hemophilia A"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of single ascending IV doses of a Factor IX (FIX) Gene Therapy in up to 16 Adults with Hemophilia B.

This study is being conducted by BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. as an open label, dose escalation study in order to determine the safety and efficacy of valoctocogene roxaparvovec (an Adenovirus-Associated Virus based gene therapy vector in participants with severe haemophilia A.

In this study researchers want to gather more information about safety and effectiveness of BAY 2599023 (DTX201), a drug therapy that delivers the human factor VIII gene into the human body by use of a viral vector to treat the disease. By replacing the defective gene with a healthy copy the human body may produce clotting factor on its own. Hemophilia A is a bleeding disorder in which the human body does not have enough clotting factor VIII, a protein that controls bleeding. Researcher want to find the optimal dose of BAY 2599023 (DTX201) so that the body may produce enough clotting factor on its own.

This clinical research study is being conducted by Spark Therapeutics, Inc. to determine the safety and efficacy of the factor VIII gene transfer treatment with SPK-8011 in individuals with hemophilia A.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and activity in the body of a new drug called SerpinPC. The study will be split into 7 parts: Part 1a will be conducted in healthy male volunteers in the UK (up to 15) and Parts 1b, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 will be conducted in haemophilia A & B patients in Moldova and Georgia. Part 1a of the study will look at how safe the drug is when given as single doses to healthy volunteers at different strengths and via 2 different routes of administration (through a vein or via an injection under the skin). Parts 1b, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the study will look at the safety of the drug when given as an injection under the skin to patients with severe haemophilia A or B. The study will also investigate how the levels of the drug in the blood change over a period of time and how the drug acts in the body by taking blood samples. These blood samples will measure the concentration of the drug in the blood and measure certain aspects of the blood to determine how the drug affects them. The study sponsor (ApcinteX) is developing this drug for the treatment of haemophilia A and haemophilia B, which are 2 types of rare blood disorders which affect the body's ability to form blood clots. Patients who have haemophilia A and B do not have certain clotting factors in their blood which means that they experience difficulty in stopping bleeding after injury and can be prone to extended periods of bleeding. Current treatments for haemophilia involves injections which replace the missing factors in the blood. However these treatments are short term and therefore patients require regular treatments in order to manage the condition. Therefore, there is a need to develop more effective treatments which provide longer term benefits. The aim of SerpinPC is to prevent bleeding rather than to have to treat bleeds to minimise pain and damage after they have occurred.

This trial is conducted in Asia, Europe and North America. The aim of the trial is to evaluate safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics (the exposure of the trial drug in the body) of NNC-0156-0000-0009 (nonacog beta pegol, N9-GP) in previously treated children with Haemophilia B.

Hemophilia A is a severe, life-long, genetic bleeding disorder characterized by a deficiency of factor VIII (FVIII), a crucial cofactor of the coagulation system. The mainstay of hemophilia treatment is factor replacement therapy with FVIII clotting factor concentrates (CFC) and these can be given episodically in response to bleeding or prophylactically to prevent bleeding. The main adverse effect of FVIII CFC is the development of neutralizing anti-drug antibodies termed inhibitors, and these render replacement therapy less effective if they are low titer inhibitors or completely ineffective if they are of the high titer variety. These so-called 'inhibitor patients' cannot rely on FVIII CFC for their treatment and are treated with other CFC called bypassing agents such as activated prothrombin complex concentrate (aPCC/Feiba). While these agents can be effective in some patients for prophylaxis, they are not as effective for bleed prevention as FVIII CFC for patients without inhibitors.Recently, emicizumab (Hemlibra, Roche), was developed and licensed for the prevention of bleeding in patients with hemophilia A with and without inhibitors. However, patients in the clinical trials for emicizumab have developed thrombotic adverse events and only patients who received doses of Feiba of >100 IU/kg/24 hours for more than 24 hours developed thrombosis. As a result of the above data, recommendations have been to either avoid altogether in patients on emicizumab, or to be very cautious about using it to treat breakthrough bleeding. With this in mind, we propose to study the in vivo combination of Feiba in patients with inhibitors on emicizumab.

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat hemophilia A. Hemophilia A is a genetic disorder where the body does not create enough of a protein called clotting factor 8 (FVIII) present in the blood. People with hemophilia A may bleed for a long time from minor wounds, have painful bleeding into joints, or have internal bleeding. In severe hemophilia A (clotting factor 8 levels less than 1%) bleedings are more likely to happen. In this study researchers want to learn more about the treatment called BAY94-9027. BAY94-9027 is an injectable medicine used to replace missing clotting factor 8. In BAY94-9027 the clotting factor 8 has been pegylated (combined with a substance called polyethylene glycol (PEG)). This is to make the treatment last longer in the body so that less injections are required. BAY94-9027 is already available for the prevention and treatment of bleeding in adults and children who are 12 years and older. BAY 94-9027 is also called Jivi. BAY94-9027 is not yet available for children aged 7 to less than 12 years. One potential specific risk of pegylated drugs is that proteins in the blood called antibodies are built. These may attach to the pegylation part of the drug and this in turn may lead to allergic reactions and the drug not working as well as it should during first 4 infusions. In studies that have been done so far, this has been seen in some children younger than six years, but not in 29 children aged 6 to less than 12 years treated with BAY94-9027. Further safety information related to how the body reacts to BAY94-9027 is however still needed for this age group. The main purpose of this study is to learn how safe BAY94-9027 is (safety) and how it affects the body (tolerability) in previously treated children with severe hemophilia A who are between 7 to less than 12 years. To answer this question, the researchers will study information about two medical problems of special interest, if allergic reactions occur (also called hypersensitivity) and if the drug is not working as well as it should (also called loss of efficacy) during the first 4 infusions. Allergic reactions may range from mild local reactions to widespread effects such as shortness of breath, skin rashes and low blood pressure. Only allergic reactions related to the study treatment will be considered. The assessment if loss of efficacy occurred will be based on the occurrence of bleeding, the clotting factor 8 level in blood after injection called recovery, clotting factor 8 inhibitor tests and measurement of antibodies against the PEG. The study has two parts, A and B. Part A takes 6 months and part B takes 18 months. In part A the participants will receive two injections of BAY94-9027 per week. In part B, the number of injections may be decreased, with up to five days between the injections. The participants in this study will visit the study site around 14 times and will have 15 phone visits. In part A, visit 1 is for screening. Visits 2 to 5 take place twice a week for two weeks. Visit 6 two weeks after visit 5, visits 7 to 10 take place monthly with visit 11 six weeks after visit 10. In part B, site visits will occur on month 9, 12, 18 and 24 and phone calls every month between the site visits. The participants' and their caregivers will record in an electronic patient diary information about when the study treatment was given and bleeding episodes that have happened. During the study, the study doctors and their team will take blood samples, do physical examinations, review the participants' electronic diary ask questions about the participants' quality of life, ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having An adverse event is a medical problem that happens during the study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in study, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments.

This is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm study designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of emicizumab in participants with mild or moderate hemophilia A without inhibitors against factor VIII (FVIII).
