Trial summary

The management of moderate hemophilia is less codified than those of severe patients; because these patients are theoretically less likely to bleed and therefore less likely to develop arthropathies. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Study of the Parameters of Quantified Gait Analysis in Moderate Hemophiliac Patients (AQM-Hemophile)

The management of moderate hemophilia is less codified than those of severe patients; because these patients are theoretically less likely to bleed and therefore less likely to develop arthropathies. Nowaways, the question arises as to the appropriateness of this "symptomatic" management for the prevention of the occurrence of hemophilic arthropathies. Indeed, a significant number of moderate hemophiliacs seems to develop severe arthropathies that cause significant disability. However, because of the very small proportion of these patients in the total number of hemophiliacs, data are lacking on the impact of arthropathies on this population. The investigators therefore propose to include moderate hemophiliac patients in the study to carry out an evaluation of gait, using a gait analysis to determine the consequences of arthropathies, even sub-clinical ones, according to the duration of the disease's progression. In an associated way, the analysis of different clinical (joint assessment; quality of life score;...), radiological (radiographic; ultrasound (synovial thickness)), biological (level of associated factors ; other associated marker), in order to provide a complete picture of the articular situation in these patients with moderate haemophilia.

What participants receive

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

  • Gait analysisOther

    The duration of participation of each subject is equal to the duration of the examination, i.e. approximately 30 minutes for the gait analysis and 30 minutes for the clinical examination (including 10 minutes for completing the questionnaire). The experiments will be carried out in a single measurement session, including several steps.

What is being measured

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

  1. Analysis of spatio-temporal parameters of the gait in moderate hemophiliac patients according to the duration of disease :

    Analysis of gait parameters

    Measured: during gait analysis and clinical examination (1 hour)

  2. Analysis of kinematic datas of the gait in moderate hemophiliac patients according to the duration of disease :

    motion capture by optoelectronic system: articular amplitudes at different walking times

    Measured: during gait analysis and clinical examination (1 hour)

  3. Analysis of dynamic datas of the gait in moderate hemophiliac patients according to the duration of disease :

    accelerations measured by the force platforms during the passage of the subject: moments of force at the different joints during the different walking times

    Measured: during gait analysis and clinical examination (1 hour)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Calculation of the Gait profile Score (GPS)

    As the Gait Profile Score represents the difference between the patient's data and the average from the reference dataset, the higher the Gait Profile Score value is, the less physiological gait pattern is.

    Measured: during gait analysis and clinical examination (1 hour)

  2. Assessment of joint pain

    pain (anlog visual scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximal pain))

    Measured: during gait analysis and clinical examination (1 hour)

  3. Assessment of joint health

    Hemophilia Joint Health score (from 0 (best score) to 25 (worse score))

    Measured: during gait analysis and clinical examination (1 hour)

  4. X-rays of target joints

    Evaluated by Pettersson's score for hips, knees and ankles (score from 0 (normal score) to 10 (worse score))

    Measured: during gait analysis and clinical examination (1 hour)

  5. Look for synovial hypertrophy by measuring the variation in synovial thickness of the ankles and knees

    Ultrasound of knees and ankles

    Measured: during gait analysis and clinical examination (1 hour)

  6. evaluation of bleeding and possible increase in synovial angiogenesis

    Measure of doppler activity

    Measured: during gait analysis and clinical examination (1 hour)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Gait analysis in people with Moderate Hemophilia and Arthropathy, run by Nantes University Hospital at 4 sites in France.

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 4 inclusion and 13 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 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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?

Analysis of spatio-temporal parameters of the gait in moderate hemophiliac patients according to the duration of disease : (time frame: during gait analysis and clinical examination (1 hour)). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04024176, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Sep 2026.
