About this study

Official title: A Multi-Centre, Open-Label, Single-Arm and Multiple Dosing Trial on Efficacy and Safety of Monthly Replacement Therapy With Recombinant Factor XIII (rFXIII) in Subjects With Congenital Factor XIII Deficiency

The trial is conducted in Europe, North America and Asia. The aim of this trial is to evaluate catridecacog (recombinant factor XIII (rFXIII)) treatment in patients with inherited FXIII deficiency. It is expected that recombinant FXIII can be used for the prevention of bleeding episodes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate (Number Per Subject Year) of Bleeding Episodes Requiring Treatment With a FXIII Containing Product During the Treatment Period

    It represents the incidence of bleeding episodes requiring treatment with a FXIII-containing product.

    Measured: For a period of 322 days (approximately one year) comprised of a screening visit (Visit 1), treatment period (Visits 2-15), unscheduled visit and end-of-trial visit (Visit 16).

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of Subjects Having a Normal Clot Solubility One Hour After rFXIII Administration and 28 Days After rFXIII Administration for All Dosing Visits

    Blood samples for clot solubility drawn at each visit (1 hour before and after dose administration). A clot solubility assay was used to screen for FXIII deficiency. The assay is based on the ability of urea to dissolve fibrin clots that have not undergone FXIII-induced stabilization. Normal blood clots generally remain stable for 24 hours or more, while clots in which fibrin molecules have not been cross-linked are soluble within minutes. The outcome of the test is normal (FXIII present; a clot is observed in the test tube) or abnormal (FXIII absent or very low level; no clot in test tube).

    Measured: For a period of 322 days (approximately one year) comprised of a screening visit (Visit 1), treatment period (Visits 2-15), unscheduled visit and end-of-trial visit (Visit 16).

  2. Level of FXIII Activity One Hour After rFXIII Administration and 28 Days After rFXIII Administration for All Dosing Visits

    Subjects entered a 52-week treatment period of monthly (28±2 days) doses of 35 IU/kg rFXIII. Blood samples for analysis of FXIII activity were drawn at each visit; at dosing visits blood was drawn 1 hour after administration and before administration(corresponding to 28 days after the previous dose). All Dosing Visits are visits where a dose is given (i.e. Visit 2-15 except Visit 3).

    Measured: For a period of 322 days (approximately one year) comprised of a screening visit (Visit 1), treatment period (Visits 2-15), unscheduled visit and end-of-trial visit (Visit 16).

  3. Number of Subjects With rFXIII Antibody Development

    Subjects receiving rFXIII were monitored for the development of binding antibodies. Blood sampling was done before administration of trial product at all visits (Visits 1-16 and unscheduled visit)

    Measured: For a period of 322 days (approximately one year) comprised of a screening visit (Visit 1), treatment period (Visits 2-15), unscheduled visit and end-of-trial visit (Visit 16).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing catridecacog in people with Congenital Bleeding Disorder and Congenital FXIII Deficiency, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 35 sites in 11 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 24 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 35 sites in United States, United Kingdom, Austria, France, Germany and 6 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 14 Jul 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?

Rate (Number Per Subject Year) of Bleeding Episodes Requiring Treatment With a FXIII Containing Product During the Treatment Period (time frame: For a period of 322 days (approximately one year) comprised of a screening visit (Visit 1), treatment period (Visits 2-15), unscheduled visit and end-of-trial visit (Visit 16).). 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 NCT00713648, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 24 Feb 2017.
