Survey of Inhibitors in Plasma-Product Exposed Toddlers

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Hemophilia A
Interventions
Drug: Recombinant FVIII
Registration Number
NCT01064284
Lead Sponsor
Fondazione Angelo Bianchi Bonomi
Brief Summary

The primary objective of the study is to assess the immunogenicity of VWF/FVIII and of rFVIII concentrates by determining the frequency of inhibitor development in previously untreated patients (PUPs) or minimally blood component-treated (MBCTPs) in the first 50 EDs or in the first 3 years from enrollment, whichever occurs first.

.

Detailed Description

Patients meeting the enrollment criteria will be consecutively enrolled at each participating centre, randomized to be treated exclusively with a single FVIII product either plasma-derived or recombinant, and followed up until inhibitor development or until 50 exposure days (EDs) or 3 years from enrolment have elapsed, whichever comes first. Study products, belonging to the class of rFVIII concentrates and to the class of plasma-derived VWF/FVIII concentrates, will be provided for free to the patients for all the duration of the study

Target Recruitment
303
Inclusion Criteria
  • Male subjects

  • Any ethnicity

  • Age <6 years

  • Severe haemophilia A (FVIII:C <1%), as confirmed at enrolment by the central laboratory.

    o Those patients diagnosed locally as severe but subsequently found to have FVIII levels >= 1% on testing at the central laboratory will be separately recorded in the screening list.

  • Previously untreated (0 EDs to any FVIII concentrates or blood products) or minimally treated (<5 EDs) with blood components, namely whole blood, fresh frozen plasma, packed red blood cells, platelets or cryoprecipitate.

    o Patients not meeting these criteria will be separately recorded in the screening list.

  • Negative inhibitor measurement at both local and central laboratory at screening

  • Ability to comply with study requirements

  • Signed informed consent of legal tutors o Patients who will not accept to enter into the study or to be randomized will be separately recorded.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Previous history of FVIII inhibitor

  • Other congenital or acquired bleeding defects

  • Plasma FVIII level >= 1%, as assayed at the central laboratory

    o Those patients originally diagnosed locally as severe but subsequently found to have FVIII levels ranging from 1% to 2% on testing at the central laboratory will be separately recorded in the screening list.

  • Concomitant congenital or acquired immunodeficiency

  • Concomitant treatment with systemic immunosuppressive drugs

  • Concomitant treatment with any investigational drug

Expressed with the numebr of patients for each group who developed FVIII inhibitors.

PUPs: Previously Untreated Patients MBCTPs: Minimally Blood Component-Treated Patients

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To Evaluate the Anamnestic Response of Inhibitor PatientsDuring the first 50 exposure days or first 3 years of enrollment, whichever occurs first
To Evaluate the Frequency of Transient InhibitorsIn the 6 months after inhibitor development

Number of participants for each group who developed transient inhibitors (this means, those inhibitors which disappeared spontaneously within 6 months without immunotolerance treatment).

To Evaluate the Modality of Occurrence of Inhibitors (Titre at Onset)During 6 months of observation, from the inhibitor occurrence

Inhibitor Titre at Onset

To Evaluate the Modality of Occurrence of Inhibitors (Number of EDs)During the first 50 exposure days or first 3 years of enrollment, whichever occurs first

Number of EDs: Number of Exposure Days (EDs) after which the inhibitors develop

To Evaluate Laboratory Factors Potentially Associated to Inhibitor DevelopmentDuring the first 50 exposure days or first 3 years of enrollment, whichever occurs first
To Evaluate the Incidence of All Other Adverse Events Related and Not Related to the Products UsedDuring the first 50 exposure days or first 3 years of enrollment, whichever occurs first
To Evaluate Clinical Factors Potentially Associated to Inhibitor DevelopmentDuring the first 50 exposure days or first 3 years of enrollment, whichever occurs first
