What participants receive

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

  • turoctocog alfaDrug

    Trial product, 2000 IU/vial will be administered as an i.v. (intravenous) bolus injection.

  • turoctocog alfaDrug

    Trial product, 3000 IU/vial will be administered as an i.v. (intravenous) bolus injection.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dose normalised area under the curve (AUC/actual dose) based on chromogenic assay

    Measured: up to 48 hours after i.v. administration

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Dose normalised area under the FVIII activity-time curve (AUC/actual dose) based on one stage clot assay

    Measured: up to 48 hours after i.v. administration

  2. Incremental recovery (IR30min) (defined as the peak FVIII level recorded 30 min after injection and reported as[IU/mL]/[IU/kg])

    Measured: up to 48 hours after i.v. administration

  3. Area under the FVIII activity-time curve (AUC)

    Measured: up to 48 hours after i.v. administration

  4. Terminal half-life of FVIII (t½)

    Measured: up to 48 hours after i.v. administration

  5. Clearance of FVIII (CL)

    Measured: up to 48 hours after i.v. administration

  6. Incidence of adverse events (AEs) including FVIII inhibitors

    Measured: After approximately 3 months (at end of trial)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing turoctocog alfa in people with Congenital Bleeding Disorder and Haemophilia A, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 5 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 5 sites in Germany, Latvia, Malaysia, Spain. 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?

Dose normalised area under the curve (AUC/actual dose) based on chromogenic assay (time frame: up to 48 hours after i.v. administration). 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 NCT01692925, 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.
