What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Adverse Events (AEs)

    Adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation patient administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.

    Measured: Monitoring of adverse events was performed from start of the trial to approximately 4 weeks after administration of trial product.

Secondary outcomes (20)
  1. Activated Recombinant Human Factor VII Analogue Activity in the Blood

    Measured: 0-24 hours after trial product administration

  2. Prothrombin Time (PT)

    The test measures the clotting time of plasma following the activation of tissue factor (TF also called thromboplastin) and calcium to hypocalcemic plasma. PT was provided in percent based on the measured PT in seconds and related/converted with the relevant standard curve. The percent value was derived based on the hyperbolic relation between PT (sec) and % PT activity.

    Measured: pre-dose - 12 hours after trial product administration

  3. F1 + 2 (Prothrombin Fragments 1+2)

    Thrombin and F1+2 are formed in equimolar quantities by the enzymatic cleavage of prothrombin (FII), and F1+2 thus indicate that thrombin has been generated.

    Measured: pre-dose - 12 hours after trial product administration

  4. Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT)

    The aPTT time measured in clinical samples reflects both the effect of the drugs (generation of thrombin and FXa) and the presence of rFVIIa /rFVIIa analogue in the plasma samples causing a dose dependent shortening of the clotting time.

    Measured: pre-dose - 12 hours after trial product administration

  5. Cessation of Bleeding: Number of Doses Needed to Control Bleeding

    Measured: Within 9 hours after first trial product administration or need of additional haemostatic medication within 9 hours after first trial administration additional haemostatic agents required to control bleed (treatment failure)

  6. Number of Subjects With Need for Additional Haemostatic Agents

    Measured: within 24 hours after successful control of bleeding episode with trial product

  7. Pharmacokinetic Parameters Based on FVIIa Activity: AUC 0-t (Area Under the Plasma FVIIa Activity-time Curve From Time Zero to the Time (t) )

    Measured: 0-24 hours after trial product administration

  8. Pharmacokinetic Parameters Based on FVIIa Activity: AUC(0-inf) (Area Under the Plasma FVIIa Activity-time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity)

    Measured: 0-24 hours after trial product administration

  9. Pharmacokinetic Parameters Based on FVIIa Activity: MRT (Mean Residence Time)

    Measured: 0-24 hours after trial product administration

  10. Pharmacokinetic Parameters Based on FVIIa Activity: t½ (Terminal Half-life)

    Measured: 0-24 hours after trial product administration

  11. Pharmacokinetic Parameters Based on FVIIa Activity: CL (Total Clearance)

    Measured: 0-24 hours after trial product administration

  12. Pharmakokinetic Parameters Based on FVIIa Activity: Vss (Distribution Volume at Steady State)

    Measured: 0-24 hours after trial product administration

  13. Immunogenicity (Inhibitor Development)

    Immunogenicity was tested by formation of neutralising antibodies towards vatreptacog alfa and/or rFVIIa.

    Measured: Monitoring of adverse events was performed from start of the trial to approximately 4 weeks after administration of trial product.

  14. Biochemistry: ALAT (Alanine Aminotransferase)

    Measured: screening visit, pre-dose and 12 hours after dosing

  15. Biochemistry: Creatinine

    Measured: screening visit, pre-dose and 12 hours after dosing

  16. Haematology: Haemoglobin

    Measured: screening visit, pre-dose and 12 hours after dosing

  17. Haematology: Red Cell Count

    Measured: screening visit, pre-dose and 12 hours after dosing

  18. Haematology: Packed Cell Volume

    Measured: screening visit, pre-dose and 12 hours after dosing

  19. Haematology: White Cell Count

    Measured: screening visit, pre-dose and 12 hours after dosing

  20. Haematology: Platelet Count

    Measured: screening visit, pre-dose and 12 hours after dosing

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing eptacog alfa (activated) and vatreptacog alfa (activated) in people with Congenital Bleeding Disorder and Haemophilia A, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 45 sites in 18 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 7 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 7 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 45 sites in United States, Japan, Turkey (Türkiye), Brazil, Italy and 13 more countries. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Dec 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: Monitoring of adverse events was performed from start of the trial to approximately 4 weeks after administration of trial product.). 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 NCT00486278, 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 7 Mar 2017.
