Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: The goal is to collect data on 200 previously treated male patients of any age with haemophilia (FVIII:C ≤ 2%). Patients from pre-authorisation studies can be followed up to at least 100 EDs. Newly enrolled patients have to be treated and followed for at least 100 EDs. * Of the 200 enrolled patients, at least 100 patients should have severe haemophilia A (FVIII:C < 1%). * Of the 200 enrolled patients, approx. 60 patients should be < 12 years of age. At least 10 patients should be aged between 14-18 years. * Patients with severe haemophilia A after successful immune tolerance induction (ITI) can also be included; the proportion of these ITI patients should not exceed 25% of the entire cohort.

  • Male patients of any age
  • Previous treatment with a FVIII concentrate for more than 150 EDs
  • Availability of detailed documentation (patient diary, log book, etc.) covering either the last 50 EDs or the last 2 years per patient to confirm treatment modality (i.e., prophylaxis, on-demand, recent surgery, or immune tolerance induction)
  • Inhibitor negative (< 0.6 BU) at study entry as confirmed by a recovery test with previous FVIII product and inhibitor test in a central laboratory
  • Immunocompetence (CD4+ count > 200/µL), HIV-negative, or having a viral load < 200 particles/µL or < 400,000 copies/mL

About this study

Official title: Prospective, Multinational, Non-interventional Post-authorisation Study to Document the Long-term Immunogenicity, Safety, and Efficacy of Human-cl rhFVIII (Simoctocog Alfa) in Patients With Haemophilia A Treated in Routine Clinical Practice

Prospective, multinational, non-interventional post-authorisation study to collect additional clinical data and to ensure consistency in the long-term between the outcome from pre-authorisation clinical studies (in 135 previously treated paediatric and adult patients) and routine clinical practice. Besides aspects such as general product safety and efficacy, there will be a focus on immunogenicity, particularly on inhibitor development. The diagnosis of FVIII inhibitor will be based on clinical observations and confirmed by FVIII inhibitor testing in the laboratory.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients With FVIII Inhibitors

    FVIII inhibitors will be determined based on clinical observations and confirmed by FVIII inhibitor testing in the laboratory.

    Measured: Screening through to study completion (minimum 1.7 months; maximum 31.6 months)

  2. Number of Patients With Adverse Drug Reactions

    Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) including hypersensitivity reactions will be recorded by patients in treatment diaries which will be reviewed at each Follow-up Visit.

    Measured: Recorded from screening through to study completion (minimum 1.7 months; maximum 31.6 months)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Annualized Rate of Breakthrough Bleeds to Assess Efficacy in Prophylactic Treatment

    Total number of bleeding episodes under prophylaxis treatment divided by the duration of prophylactic phase (in years)

    Measured: Monitored throughout the study from screening through to study completion (minimum 3.7 months; maximum 21.2 months)

  2. Assessment of the Efficacy of On-demand Treatment of Bleeding Episodes (BEs) Based on a 4-point Efficacy Scale

    At the end of a BE, treatment efficacy was to be assessed either by the patient (or the patient's parent or legal guardian) or by the treating physician in case of on-site treatment using a 4-point scale including the four items 'excellent,' 'good,' moderate,' and 'none.' Excellent result was defined as abrupt pain relief and/or unequivocal improvement in objective signs of bleeding within approximately 8 hours after a single injection. Good was definite pain relief and/or improvement in signs of bleeding within approximately 8-12 hours after an injection requiring up to 2 injections for complete resolution. Moderate was probable or slight beneficial effect within approximately 12 hours after the first injection requiring more than two injections for complete resolution. None was no improvement after 12 hours, or worsening of symptoms, requiring more than 2 injections for complete resolution.

    Measured: Monitored throughout the study from screening through to study completion (minimum 1.7 months; maximum 31.6 months)

  3. Overall Assessment of the Effectiveness of Surgical Prophylaxis by the Treating Physicians

    At the end of the postoperative period, an overall assessment of the efficacy of treatment in the pre-, peri-, and postoperative periods using the 'excellent,' 'good,' moderate,' and 'none' scale will be done jointly by the surgeon and the hematologist. Based on this assessment, efficacy ratings assessed as either 'excellent' or 'good' will be considered 'successfully treated'.

    Measured: From start of surgery until end of post-operative period

  4. Assessment of the Efficacy of Treatment of Bleeding Episodes (BEs) Based on a 4-point Efficacy Scale

    At the end of a BE, treatment efficacy was to be assessed either by the patient (or the patient's parent or legal guardian) or by the treating physician in case of on-site treatment using a 4-point scale including the four items 'excellent', 'good', 'moderate', and 'none.'

    Excellent result was defined as abrupt pain relief and/or unequivocal improvement in objective signs of bleeding within approximately 8 hours after a single injection. Good was definite pain relief and/or improvement in signs of bleeding within approximately 8-12 hours after an injection requiring up to 2 injections for complete resolution. Moderate was probable or slight beneficial effect within approximately 12 hours after the first injection requiring more than two injections for complete resolution. None was no improvement after 12 hours, or worsening of symptoms, requiring more than 2 injections for complete resolution.

    Measured: Recorded from screening through to study completion (minimum 1.7 months; maximum 31.6 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemophilia A, run by Octapharma at 39 sites in 13 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 8 inclusion and 1 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 21 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 39 sites in Italy, United States, Argentina, France, United Kingdom and 8 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Sep 2021). 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?

Number of Patients With FVIII Inhibitors (time frame: Screening through to study completion (minimum 1.7 months; maximum 31.6 months)). 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 21 Oct 2021.
