Trial summary

This trial is conducted in Europe and the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to evaluate the basal and spiked TEG® (Thromboelastography) or ROTEM® (Thromboelastometry) profiles of frequently bleeding haemophilia subjects with inhibitors in a non-bleeding state.

About this study

Official title: An Exploratory Non-interventional Study of Ex-vivo Spiking Followed by Thromboelastography as a Method for Predicting the Efficacy of Recombinant Activated Human FVII (rFVIIa, NovoSeven®) in Adult Congenital Haemophilia A or B Patients With Inhibitors

This trial is conducted in Europe and the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to evaluate the basal and spiked TEG® (Thromboelastography) or ROTEM® (Thromboelastometry) profiles of frequently bleeding haemophilia subjects with inhibitors in a non-bleeding state.

Read the detailed description

The TEG parameters are: R time (Reaction Time), K time (K Time (arbitrary measurement)), a (a angle), MA (Maximum Amplitude) and LY30 (Lysis 30 min after MA) while the ROTEM parameters are: CT (Clotting Time), CFT (Clot Formation Time), a (a angle), MCF (Maximum Clot Firmness) and LI60 (Lysis index 60 min after CT)

Being tested
eptacog alfa (activated)

What participants receive

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

  • eptacog alfa (activated)Drug

    Also called activated recombinant human factor VII

    Subjects will be called to attend the clinic in a non-bleeding state. Blood samples will be drawn for thromboelastogram profiling and will be in-vitro spiked with different doses of activatated recombinant human factor VII.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing eptacog alfa (activated) in people with Congenital Bleeding Disorder and Haemophilia A With Inhibitors, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 7 sites in 4 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 5 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 23 Nov 2016. 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 United States, Denmark, France, United Kingdom. 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?

TEG parameters obtained at baseline and with activated recombinant human factor VII. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Nov 2016.
