About this study

Official title: FENOC: The FEIBA NovoSeven Comparative Study

FENOC is a prospective, open-label, randomized, cross-over, multi-center study to investigate and compare the hemostatic effect and cost-efficacy of two different by-passing agents in the treatment of joint hemorrhages in subjects with severe hemophilia A and inhibitors. The study is designed as a clinical equivalency trial.

Read the detailed description

The incidence of inhibitors among people with severe hemophilia A has been documented as approximately 20-30% in several prospective studies. In such patients acute hemorrhages frequently occur and profoundly jeopardize health, with subsequent development of arthropathy. A common way of treating such bleeding episodes is to use bypassing agents. Among these agents the prothrombin complex concentrate FEIBA has been widely used for many years. More recently, recombinant factor VIIa (NovoSeven) has been added to the therapeutic options. While both products have been found effective in treating hemorrhages, the number of injections given for a bleeding episode has ranged widely, and it is so far unknown whether one of the products might have a better effect in certain patients.

What participants receive

  • FEIBA and NovoSevenDrug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. -The hemostatic effect of treatment with a single dose of FEIBA with that of two doses of NovoSeven on joint hemorrhages after 6 hours.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. The hemostatic effect of treatment after 2, 12, 24 36, and 48 hours.

  2. The difference in pain, rated using the 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS) before treatment and after 2 (before the second dose of NovoSeven, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours.

  3. The number of infusions required of each concentrate to stop the bleeding.

  4. The use of analgesics.

  5. Cost-efficacy, analyzed on the basis of clinical response.

  6. Correlation between thrombin generation in vitro with each concentrate and the in vivo clinical response.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing FEIBA and NovoSeven in people with Severe Hemophilia A With an Inhibitor, run by Skane University Hospital at 1 site in Sweden.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Apr 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

-The hemostatic effect of treatment with a single dose of FEIBA with that of two doses of NovoSeven on joint hemorrhages after 6 hours.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00166309, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Apr 2007.
