About this study

Official title: A Multi-Centre, Open-Label, Non-Controlled Trial on Safety and Efficacy of N8 in Previously Treated Paediatric Patients With Haemophilia A

This trial is conducted in Asia, Europe, and North and South America. The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the safety and efficacy of turoctocog alfa (recombinant factor VIII, rFVIII (N8)) in male previously treated paediatric subjects with haemophilia A.

What participants receive

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

  • turoctocog alfaDrug

    Subjects will be treated 3 times per week or every second day with intravenous injections of turoctocog alfa. The dose range for preventive treatment is 25-60 IU/kg body weight depending on treatment regimen.

  • turoctocog alfaDrug

    Subjects will undergo half-life evaluation of their current factor VIII product and pharmacokinetic session with turoctocog alfa before entering preventive treatment (subjects with available evaluation of terminal half-life within the last year are to be excluded from receiving factor VIII). Intravenous injections. The dose range for preventive treatment is 25-60 IU/kg body weight depending on treatment regimen.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Incidence Rate of FVIII Inhibitors (Greater Than or Equal to 0.6 Bethesda Units (BU))

    The incidence rate of FVIII inhibitors was calculated by including all patients with inhibitors in the nominator and including all patients with a minimum 50 exposure plus any patients with less than 50 exposures but with inhibitors in denominator.

    Measured: The adverse events were collected throughout the trial, corresponding to an average of 138 days per subject.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Frequency of Adverse Events (AEs)

    Adverse event was defined as events occurring after administration of trial product. Severe AEs: considerable interference with subject's daily activities, unacceptable. Moderate AEs: Marked symptoms, moderate interference with the patient's daily activities. Mild AEs: No or transient symptoms, no interference with the patient's daily activities. Serious AE: AE that at any dose results in any of the following: death, a life-threatening experience, in-subject hospitalization/prolongation of existing hospitalisation, persistent/significant disability/incapacity/congenital anomaly/birth defect.

    Measured: The adverse events were collected throughout the trial, corresponding to an average of 138 days per subject

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing turoctocog alfa in people with Congenital Bleeding Disorder and Haemophilia A, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 38 sites in 13 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 2 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 17 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 38 sites in United States, Brazil, Turkey (Türkiye), Poland, Russia and 8 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 11 Jun 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?

The Incidence Rate of FVIII Inhibitors (Greater Than or Equal to 0.6 Bethesda Units (BU)) (time frame: The adverse events were collected throughout the trial, corresponding to an average of 138 days per subject.). 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 NCT01138501, which also lists 3 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 17 Mar 2017.
