About this study

Official title: An Open-label Single- and Multiple-dose Trial Investigating the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of rFVIIa Following i.v. Administration of One Dose of 270 Microg/kg and Three Doses of 90 Microg/kg in Patients With Haemophilia A or B With or Without Inhibitors

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of the trial is to investigate the pharmacokinetics (the exposure of the trial drug in the body) and pharmacodynamics (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) of rFVIIa (activated coagulation factor VII) following one single injection of 270 microg/kg compared to three injections of 90 microg/kg rFVIIa in patients with haemophilia.

Being tested
eptacog alfa (activated)
Medical subject headings
Hemophilia A, Hemophilia B

What participants receive

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

  • eptacog alfa (activated)Drug

    Subject will receive a single injection (i.v.) of 270 microg/kg rFVIIa (NovoSeven®)

  • eptacog alfa (activated)Drug

    Subject will receive 3 injections (i.v.) of 90 microg/kg rFVIIa (NovoSeven®) over a 6 hour period (each injection will be separated by 3 hours)

What is being measured

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

  1. Thromboelastography (TEG) parameter Maximum Thrombosis Generation (MTG;'maximum velocity')

    Measured: 10 minutes post-dose for 270 microg/kg and 10 minutes after the first injection of 90 microg/kg

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. TEG parameters r-time, MTG, alpha angle, and maximum amplitude (MA)

    Measured: Prior to and 24 hours following the administrtion of 270 microg/kg and each of the 3 administrations of 90 microg/kg

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, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 1 site in Spain.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 14 Nov 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in 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?

Thromboelastography (TEG) parameter Maximum Thrombosis Generation (MTG;'maximum velocity') (time frame: 10 minutes post-dose for 270 microg/kg and 10 minutes after the first injection of 90 microg/kg). 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 14 Nov 2014.
