What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Moderate and Severe Haemophilia A Patients With Inhibitors Achieving Complete or Partial Immune Tolerance Induction (ITI) Success

    ITI success will be determined using predefined success criteria to analyze the proportion of patients achieving complete or partial ITI success. Complete success is defined by achieving all of the following variables: 1) Inhibitor titre <0.6BU (at least 2 separate blood samplings) assessed using the modified Bethesda assay; 2) Incremental in vivo recovery (IVR) of FVIII in the normal range (≥66% of normal); 3) FVIII half-life ≥6 hours Wilate infusion. Partial success is defined as two of the three criteria being met, whilst partial response is defined as one of the three criteria being met. Partial failure is defined as none of the three criteria are met, but the inhibitor titre has decreased to <5 BU; complete failure is defined as none of the three criteria are met, and the inhibitor titre is still ≥5 BU.

    Measured: From ITI start until termination of study, a maximum of 2 years

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Time Necessary to Achieve Complete or Partial ITI Success

    Time to achieve complete or partial ITI success will be determined using predefined success criteria. Complete success is defined by achieving all of the following variables: 1) Inhibitor titre <0.6 BU (at least 2 separate blood samplings) assessed using the modified Bethesda assay; 2) Incremental IVR of FVIII in the normal range (≥66% of normal) ; 3) FVIII half-life ≥6 hours. Wilate infusion. Partial success is defined as two of the three criteria being met, whilst partial response is defined as one of the three criteria being met. Partial failure is defined as none of the three criteria are met, but the inhibitor titre has decreased to <5 BU; complete failure is defined as none of the three criteria are met, and the inhibitor titre is still ≥5 BU.

    0 participants analysed for this outcome due to termination of study.

    Measured: A maximum period of 5 years from ITI start

  2. In Case of Complete or Partial ITI Success, Duration of Immune Tolerance

    Time from start of ITI success to end of study period

    Measured: A maximum period of 5 years from ITI start

  3. Bleeding Frequency While on Wilate or Nuwiq ITI Treatment

    Bleeding episodes occurring during the study period will be documented by the patient or their parents in a patient study diary.

    Measured: A maximum period of 5 years from ITI start

  4. Association of Inhibitor Titres With the Probability of ITI Success

    Inhibitor titre will be assessed at the start of and throughout ITI treatment, including peak inhibitor titres, with the probability of ITI success.

    ITI success will be determined using predefined success criteria. Complete success is defined by achieving all of the following variables: 1) Inhibitor titre <0.6 BU (at least 2 separate blood samplings) assessed using the modified Bethesda assay; 2) Incremental IVR of FVIII in the normal range (≥66% of normal) ; 3) FVIII half-life ≥6 hours. Wilate or Nuwiq infusion. Partial success is defined as two of the three criteria being met, whilst partial response is defined as one of the three criteria being met. Partial failure is defined as none of the three criteria are met, but the inhibitor titre has decreased to <5 BU; complete failure is defined as none of the three criteria are met, and the inhibitor titre is still ≥5 BU.

    Measured: A maximum period of 5 years from ITI start

  5. Use of Bypassing Agents Before and During ITI Treatment With Wilate or Nuwiq

    Use of bypassing agents is at the discretion of the Investigator, either to treat bleeding or to provide prophylactic therapy. As long as the patient's inhibitor level is ≥0.6 Bethesda units (BU), treatment of BEs may, in addition to FVIII treatment, require the administration of activated prothrombin complex concentrates (aPCC) or recombinant FVIIa.

    Measured: 12 months before the start of ITI with Wilate or Nuwiq to a maximum of 5 years from starting ITI with Wilate or Nuwiq

  6. Use of Emicizumab (Hemlibra) During ITI Treatment With Wilate or Nuwiq

    The dosing and frequency of emicizumab (Hemlibra) used is at the discretion of the Investigator. As a general guidance, the recommended dose is 3mg/kg once weekly for the first 4 weeks, followed by 1.5mg/kg once weekly, administered as a subcutaneous injection, as per the product monograph.

    Measured: A maximum period of 5 years from ITI start

  7. Relapse Rate Following Complete or Partial Successful ITI Using Wilate or Nuwiq

    Reoccurrence of >0.6 BU in at least 2 consecutive blood samples after having reached the prophylactic treatment phase; a further ITI initiation (re-start) with Wilate or Nuwiq is at the discretion of the Investigator.

    Measured: A maximum period of 5 years from ITI start

  8. Time to Relapse Following Complete or Partial Successful ITI Using Wilate or Nuwiq

    Time to reoccurrence of >0.6 BU in at least 2 consecutive blood samples after having reached the prophylactic treatment phase; a further ITI initiation (re-start) with Wilate or Nuwiq is at the discretion of the Investigator.

    Measured: A maximum period of 5 years from ITI start

  9. Adherence With the ITI Regimen

    During ITI, any injections of Wilate or Nuwiq will be recorded in the patient study diary. The treating physician will review and verify the information provided by the patient.

    Measured: A maximum period of 5 years from ITI start

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemophilia A, run by Octapharma at 3 sites in Canada.

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 12 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Canada. 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 9 Aug 2024). 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 Moderate and Severe Haemophilia A Patients With Inhibitors Achieving Complete or Partial Immune Tolerance Induction (ITI) Success (time frame: From ITI start until termination of study, a maximum of 2 years). 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 9 Aug 2024.
