  11. Change in Total Scores for Parent Reported Treatment Satisfaction

    The caregivers/parent reported treatment satisfaction is assessed by the parents using the haemophilia satisfaction questionnaire (HEMO-SAT). The questionnaire contained questions related to treatment that covered 6 domains (ease and convenience, efficacy, burden, specialist, centre and general satisfaction). Adults completing the questionnaire could achieve a score from 0 to 100, with lower scores reflecting greater treatment satisfaction. The scale range for each of the 6 domains was 0-100 with lower scores reflecting greater treatment satisfaction.

    The scores of the domains at visit 3 (10th-15th ED), visit 5 (50th-55th ED) and end of trial (EoT) are presented.

    Measured: Visit 3 (10th-15th ED); Visit 5 (50th-55th ED); End of trial (within 8 weeks of their last scheduled visit in the extension phase)

  12. Health Resource Utilization and Caregiver Burden Associated With Bleeds (Per Month Per Patient)

    Resource utilisation and caregiver burden are analysed in terms of average number of days absent from work and use of mobility aids (e.g. wheelchair or crutches) as a consequence of bleeds. The analysis was performed for the main phase (from Visit 2 to Visit 5 [50-55 exposure day], extension phase (from Visit 6 to end of trial; exposure day 100, expected to occur between 6 and 48 months of trial participation), the combined main and extension phase (from Visit 2 to end of trial) and for the inhibitor cohort.

    Measured: From Visit 2 to Visit 5 (50-55 exposure day); From Visit 6 to end of trial, extension phase of the trial; From Visit 2 to end of trial, the combined main and extension phases of the trial

  13. Health Resource Utilization and Caregiver Burden Associated With Bleeds (Per Year Per Patient)

    Resource utilisation and caregiver burden are analysed in terms of average number of days of absence from work and use of mobility aids (e.g. wheelchair or crutches) as a consequence of bleeds. The analysis was performed for the main phase (from Visit 2 to Visit 5 [50-55 exposure day], extension phase (from Visit 6 to end of trial; exposure day 100, expected to occur between 6 and 48 months of trial participation), the combined main and extension phase (from Visit 2 to end of trial) and for the inhibitor cohort.

A Phase 3 study testing turoctocog alfa in people with Congenital Bleeding Disorder and Haemophilia A, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 69 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 30 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 69 sites in United States, Austria, China, Turkey (Türkiye), Japan 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 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 30 Oct 2018). 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?

Incidence Rate of Factor VIII Inhibitors (Above or Equal to 0.6 BU (Bethesda Units)/mL) for the Main Phase of the Trial (time frame: From Visit 2 (21 days after screening) to Visit 5 (50-55 exposure day)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 30 Nov 2020.
