What is being measured

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

  1. The Incidence Rate of FVIII-inhibitors ≥0.6 BU: After Approximately 19 Months

    All participants with neutralizing antibodies were included in the numerator and any participant with a minimum 50 exposure days plus any participant with inhibitory inhibitors was included in the denominator. A positive inhibitor test was defined as ≥0.6 bethesda unit (BU). Estimates are based on exact calculations for a binomial distribution. For the calculation of the 'inhibitor rate' the nominator included all participants with neutralising antibodies while the denominator included all participants with a minimum of 50 exposures plus any participant with less than 50 exposures but with neutralising inhibitors.

    Measured: After approximately 19 months

  2. Annualised Bleeding Rate in the Prophylaxis Arm: After Approximately 19 Months

    Annualised bleeding rate (ABR) is the number of bleeding episodes per year. This was assessed only for the prophylaxis treatment with N8-GP.

    Measured: After approximately 19 months

  3. The Incidence Rate of FVIII-inhibitors ≥0.6 BU: After Approximately 25 Months

    All participants with neutralizing antibodies were included in the numerator and any participant with a minimum 50 exposure days plus any participant with inhibitory inhibitors was included in the denominator. A positive inhibitor test was defined as ≥0.6 bethesda unit (BU). Estimates are based on exact calculations for a binomial distribution. For the calculation of the 'inhibitor rate' the nominator included all participants with neutralising antibodies while the denominator included all participants with a minimum of 50 exposures plus any participant with less than 50 exposures but with neutralising inhibitors.

    Measured: After approximately 25 months

  4. Annualised Bleeding Rate in the Prophylaxis Arm: After Approximately 25 Months

    ABR is the number of bleeding episodes per year. This was assessed only for the prophylaxis treatment with N8-GP.

    Measured: After approximately 25 months

  5. Incidence Rate of FVIII-inhibitors ≥0.6 BU: At Approximately 80 Months

    All participants with neutralizing antibodies were included in the numerator and any participant with a minimum 50 exposure days plus any participant with inhibitory inhibitors was included in the denominator. A positive inhibitor test was defined as ≥0.6 bethesda unit (BU). Estimates are based on exact calculations for a binomial distribution. For the calculation of the 'inhibitor rate' the nominator included all participants with neutralising antibodies while the denominator included all participants with a minimum of 50 exposures plus any participant with less than 50 exposures but with neutralising inhibitors.

    Measured: At approximately 80 months

  6. Annualised Bleeding Rate in the Prophylaxis Arm: After Approximately 80 Months

    Annualised bleeding rate (ABR) is the number of bleeding episodes per year reported during the prophylactic treatment with N8-GP.

    Measured: After approximately 80 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing turoctocog alfa pegol in people with Congenital Bleeding Disorder and Haemophilia A, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 93 sites in 24 countries.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 23 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 93 sites in United States, Japan, Germany, United Kingdom, France and 19 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 20 Apr 2020). 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 ≥0.6 BU: After Approximately 19 Months (time frame: After approximately 19 months). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01480180, 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 23 Nov 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
