About this study

Official title: A Multi-centre, Multi-national Open-label Sequential Trial Comparing Pharmacokinetics and Safety of N8 and Advate® in Subjects With Haemophilia A

This trial is conducted in Europe and Asia. The aim of this clinical trial is to compare two recombinant factor VIII drugs, turoctocog alfa (recombinant factor VIII (N8)) with Advate®, in haemophilia A subjects, investigating the action and safety of the drugs.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Advate®Drug

    Subjects will receive Advate® at a dose of 50 IU/kg body weight in the first session

  • turoctocog alfaDrug

    Also called recombinant FVIII, N8

    After a washout period of 4 days, subjects will subsequently receive turoctocog alfa (recombinant factor VIII (N8)) at a dose of 50 IU/kg body weight in the second session

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Advate® and turoctocog alfa in people with Congenital Bleeding Disorder and Haemophilia A, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 7 sites in 5 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 4 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 10 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 7 sites in Germany, Italy, Israel, Spain, Switzerland. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

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?

Recovery of FVIII 30 min after administration, half-life, AUC, and clearance (time frame: at 30 days). 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 NCT00837356, 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 10 Feb 2017.
