About this study

Official title: A PHASE 3, PROSPECTIVE, OPEN-LABEL, RANDOMIZED STUDY TO EVALUATE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF RECOMBINANT ACTIVATED FVII BI (rFVIIa BI) IN THE TREATMENT OF ACUTE BLEEDING EPISODES PER AN ON-DEMAND REGIMEN IN PATIENTS WITH HEMOPHILIA A OR B WITH INHIBITORS

The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy and safety of rFVIIa BI as part of a six-month on-demand treatment regimen in hemophilia A or B subjects with inhibitors.

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

  • Recombinant Factor VIIa BI (rFVIIa BI)Biological

    Administered approximately every 3 hours as an intravenous bolus injection on-demand

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Bleeding Episode With "Treatment Success"

    No additional hemostatic product required within 12 hours of first dose other than the prescribed dosing regimen.

    Measured: within 12 hours of first dose

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Treatment Response for Each Bleeding Episode

    Participants rated the treatment of each bleeding episode. If treatment occurred under direct supervision of treating physician, the physician rated the response. Ratings based on a 4 point scale; EXCELLENT - full relief of pain and cessation of objective signs of bleeding (swelling, tenderness, decrease in range of motion [for muscle bleeds]) within 9 hours of treatment initiation. No additional infusion required to control bleeding, other than prescribed dosing regimen. GOOD - Substantial relief of pain and/or cessation of objective signs of bleeding within 9 hours of treatment initiation. No additional infusion required to control bleeding, other than prescribed dosing regimen. MODERATE - slight relief of pain and slight improvement of signs of bleeding within 9 hours of treatment initiation. Requires additional infusion beyond treatment regimen. NONE - No improvement or condition worsens. SUCCESSFUL = EXCELLENT or GOOD.

    Measured: within 24 hours of infusion

  2. Percentage of Clinical Responders (Sustained Bleeding Control) for All Acute Bleeding Episodes

    Clinical responders defined as sustained bleeding control, (no additional hemostatic medication including rFVIIa BI required between 12 and 24 hours after first infusion of the successfully treated bleeding episode).

    Measured: 24 hours post infusion

  3. Safety and Tolerability of Treatment Regimens by Clinical Assessment of Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

    Safety was determined by the number of AEs (both serious AEs [SAEs] and non-serious AEs [nsAE]). Tolerability was determined by the number of AEs related to rFVIIa BI (both SAEs and nsAEs) as determined by causality assessment of the AEs by the investigator. An AE was deemed Related if the investigator judged the AE to be "possibly related" or "probably related" to rFVIIa BI. The percentage of participants with AEs were presented by seriousness (SAE, nsAE), severity (Mild, Moderate or Severe) and causality (Related or Not Related to rFVIIa BI).

    Measured: 6 months (throughout study period)

  4. Safety and Tolerability of Treatment Regimens by Clinical Assessment of Adverse Events (AEs)

    Safety was determined by the number of AEs (both serious AEs [SAEs] and non-serious AEs [nsAE]). Tolerability was determined by the number of AEs related to rFVIIa BI (both SAEs and nsAEs) as determined by causality assessment of the AEs by the investigator. An AE was deemed Related if the investigator judges the AE to be "possibly related" or "probably related" to rFVIIa BI. The percentage of AEs were presented by seriousness (SAE, nsAE), severity (Mild, Moderate or Severe) and causality (Related or Not Related [to rFVIIa BI]).

    Measured: 6 months (throughout study period)

  5. Percentage of Participants With Inhibitor Development to FVII

    Development of rFVII inhibitors or FVIIa binding antibodies during the study.

    Measured: 6 months (throughout study period)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Recombinant Factor VIIa BI (rFVIIa BI) in people with Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B, run by Baxalta now part of Shire at 16 sites in 9 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 11 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in Russia, Ukraine, Japan, Poland, Spain and 4 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 25 Oct 2016). 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?

Percentage of Bleeding Episode With "Treatment Success" (time frame: within 12 hours of first dose). 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 11 May 2021.
