Active clinical trials for "Hemophilia A"

This study is aims at determining the inter laboratory variation when using the thrombin generation assay calibrated automated thrombogram (TGA CAT). It is thus, not a clinical trial in its usual meaning. However, to achieve relevant test samples one patient will be treated with two different study drugs as part of the trial and therefore, approval by Läkemedelsverket is needed. Test plasma samples will be sent out to five participating centers in the Scandinavian countries (Gothenburg and Stockholm, Sweden, Århus Denmark, Oslo Norway and Helsinki Finland) and coefficients of variance (CV) and level of agreement will be analyzed. To obtain representative plasma samples with a wide range of thrombin generation capacity (TGC), blood samples will be collected from research persons that has given informed consent to participate in the study. To obtain plasma with low TGC, blood samples will be drawn from patients with severe hemophilia (n=4)(study group 1), to obtain plasma with normal TGC, blood samples will be drawn from healthy volunteers (n=3)(study group 2) and to obtain plasma with high TGC, plasma will be collected from healthy volunteers (n=3)(study group 3) that at previous measurements have been shown to have a TGC>2SD of the median of the control population. Moreover, one patient with severe hemophilia A (HA) will be treated with two factor FVIII concentrates, one with standard half- life (Advate™) and one with a pro-longed half-life (Adynovate™) at two separate occasions (Treated HA person). By taking repeated blood samples after administration, samples with a wide range of FVIII levels and TGC:s will be obtained. Moreover, the effect of using plasmas with low, normal and high TGC for normalization will be investigated. Plasma samples will be collected as soon as approval from the Swedish medical agency (SMA) has been obtained, we count on sending them to participating centers March 2017. All laboratory measurements, data analysis and report writing will be concluded before December 31 2017.

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 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 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.

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

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

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.

To obtain evidence of content validity and reliability of the Colorado Adult Joint Assessment Scale (CAJAS), a clinician-reported outcome (ClinRO) measure, as adapted for use in a population of adults with moderate to severe hemophilia A treated with coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) therapy as secondary prophylaxis or episodic treatment.

This study is conducted in Asia. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NovoEight® (recombinant factor VIII) in patients with haemophilia A in Japan in the setting of routine clinical practice.
