Safety and Efficacy of BAY94-9027 in Previously Treated Male Children With Haemophilia A
- Conditions
- Hemophilia A

- Biological: BAY94-9027
- Registration Number
- NCT01775618
- Lead Sponsor
- Bayer
- Brief Summary
Hemophilia A is an inherited blood disorder in which one protein, Factor VIII, needed to form blood clots is missing or not present in sufficient levels. Hemophilia A causes the clotting process to be slowed and the person experiences bleeds causing serious problems that could lead to disability. The current standard treatment for severe hemophilia A is infusion of FVIII to stop bleeding, or regular scheduled treatment to prevent bleeds from occuring. Due to the short half-life of FVIII, prophylaxis may require treatment as often as every other day.
In this trial safety and efficacy of a long-acting recombinant Factor VIII molecule is being evaluated in 50 male subjects, \< 12 years of age, with severe Hemophilia A. These subjects will receive open label treatment with long-acting rFVIII for approximately 6 months (or longer until 50 exposure days) on a regular schedule at least once every 7-days. Doses and dose intervals may be adapted to the subject's clinical need. A second group of patients will receive open label treatment with the same drug for 12 weeks on a regular schedule of 2x/week. Patients will attend the treatment center for routine blood samples and will be required to keep an electronic diary.
Subjects will be offered participation in an optional extension study to collect observations for at least an additional 50 exposure days.

Group Intervention Description Part 2 (Expansion group) BAY94-9027 Participants were administered with BAY94-9027 at a dose of 25-60 IU/kg twice per week for prophylaxis for 12 weeks. Main study BAY94-9027 Participants were treated and prophylaxis administered with BAY94-9027 at a dose of 25-60 international units/kilogram (IU/kg) twice per week or 45-60 IU/kg every 5 days or 60 IU/kg every 7 days as an intravenous (IV) infusion as per clinical needs of each subject up to at least 50 exposure days (EDs) and a minimum of at least 6 months. Extension study BAY94-9027 Participants were treated and prophylaxis administered with BAY94-9027 at a dose of 25- 60 IU/kg twice per week or 45-60 IU/kg every 5 days or 60 IU/kg every 7 days as an IV infusion as per clinical needs of each subject for at least 50 EDs or until marketing authorization of the drug.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Characterization of a potential immune response 12 weeks Annualized number of all bleeds At least 50 exposure days (ED) over 6 months, on average 245 days Pharmacokinetics profile of BAY94-9027 based on blood concentration over the defined time period Pre-dose to 72 hours post-dose Pharmacokinetics profile includes maximum concentration (Cmax), half-life (t1/2), area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC), mean residence time (MRT), volume of distribution at steady state (Vss), and clearance (CL)
Response of acute bleeding events to treatment based on a 4-point scale (poor, moderate, good, or excellent) At least 50 exposure days (ED) over 6 months, on average 245 days Inhibitor development in the extension study At least 50 additional EDs to achieve at least 100 cumulative EDs, on average 5 years
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability From the start of study treatment up to 7 days after the last dose (Main study: on average 245+7 days; Part 2: 12 weeks+7 days; Extension study: on average 5 years+7 days) Assessment of incremental recovery in main study At least 50 exposure days (ED) over 6 months, on average 245 days Inhibitor development in the main study After 10 to 15 and 50 exposure days (ED) over 6 months, on average 245 days
