About this study

Haemophilia is a rare and serious congenital defect of blood coagulation due to a genetic mutation on a sexual chromosome. It affects quasi-essentially the men and it is responsible for bleeding. There are two types of haemophilia: Haemophilia A, (85 % of cases), due to a factor VIII (FVIII) deficiency and Haemophilia B (15 % of cases) due to factor IX (FIX) deficiency. According to the intensity of the defect, there are three forms of haemophilia: severe (FVIII or FIX lower than 1 %), moderate (factor level between 1 and 5 %), minor (factor level between 5 and 40 %). For a same level of factor VIII or IX, hemorrhagic manifestations are variable from one patient to the other. Moreover, several studies showed that haemophilic B patients bleed less and consume fewer anti-hemophilic concentrate that haemophilic A patients.

The main inhibitors of the coagulation are antithrombin, Protein C-Protein S-Thrombomodulin system, and tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI). TFPI is the specific and exclusive inhibitor of tissue factor pathway that is the main way by which plasmatic coagulation starts. TFPI is a potent direct inhibitor of factor Xa and Xa-dependent inhibitor of the VIIa-Tissue Factor (TF) complex. In hemophilic patient, the production of Xa by the amplification pathway being strongly altered because of factor VIII or IX deficiency, thrombin generation (via Xa) comes exclusively from TFPI regulated tissue factor pathway. We can thus say that if haemophilic patients bleed, it is also because of the presence of TFPI that inhibits at the same time Xa and the complex TF-VIIa as soon as factor Xa is generated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison for TFPI level between Haemophilia A and Haemophilia B

    Comparison for TFPI level between Haemophilia A and Haemophilia B

    Measured: day 1

  2. Comparison for TFPI level between severe Haemophilia A and severe Haemophilia B

    Comparison for TFPI level between severe Haemophilia A and severe Haemophilia B

    Measured: Day 1

  3. Comparison for TFPI level between moderate or mild Haemophilia A and moderate or mild Haemophilia B

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Correlation between free TFPI and hemorrhagic score

    Hemorrhagic score is established on the 5 to 10 last years. For severe hemophilic patients: it will use a composite scoring system designed to reflect the clinical severity of haemophilia and named HSS for Haemophilia Severity Score (HSS). It consists in the sum of three components: annual incidence of joint bleeds, orthopedic joint score and annual factor utilization. The orthopedic joint score combines pain and physical examination scores as recommended by the orthopedic Advisory Committee of the World Federation of Haemophilia.

    For mild or moderate hemophilic patients, HSS is not suitable. A composite measure will be used and consist in all bleeding events and consumption of factor concentrate in surgical situation.

    Free TFPI levels will be measured by ELISA according to the manufacturer's recommendations

    Measured: day 1

  2. Correlation between TFPI activity and hemorrhagic score

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 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 Mar 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 France. 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.

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?

Comparison for TFPI level between Haemophilia A and Haemophilia B (time frame: day 1). The study lists 3 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 10 Mar 2016.
