Evaluation of Recombinant Factor XIII for Prevention of Bleeding in Patients With FXIII Inherited Deficiency

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Congenital Bleeding Disorder
Congenital FXIII Deficiency
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00713648
Lead Sponsor
Novo Nordisk A/S
Brief Summary

The trial is conducted in Europe, North America and Asia. The aim of this trial is to evaluate catridecacog (recombinant factor XIII (rFXIII)) treatment in patients with inherited FXIII deficiency. It is expected that recombinant FXIII can be used for the prevention of bleeding episodes.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Known neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) towards FXIII
  • Any known congenital or acquired coagulation disorder other than congenital FXIII deficiency
  • Documented history of at least 2 treatment-requiring bleeding episodes per year during previous regular replacement therapy with FXIII containing blood products (fresh frozen plasma (FFP), plasma-derived FXIII (pd FXIII) and cryoprecipitate)
  • Known or suspected allergy to trial product(s) or related products
  • Planned major surgery during the trial period. Catheter, ports and dental extractions do not count as surgeries and will not exclude the subject

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate (Number Per Subject Year) of Bleeding Episodes Requiring Treatment With a FXIII Containing Product During the Treatment PeriodFor a period of 322 days (approximately one year) comprised of a screening visit (Visit 1), treatment period (Visits 2-15), unscheduled visit and end-of-trial visit (Visit 16).

It represents the incidence of bleeding episodes requiring treatment with a FXIII-containing product.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Subjects Having a Normal Clot Solubility One Hour After rFXIII Administration and 28 Days After rFXIII Administration for All Dosing VisitsFor a period of 322 days (approximately one year) comprised of a screening visit (Visit 1), treatment period (Visits 2-15), unscheduled visit and end-of-trial visit (Visit 16).

Blood samples for clot solubility drawn at each visit (1 hour before and after dose administration). A clot solubility assay was used to screen for FXIII deficiency. The assay is based on the ability of urea to dissolve fibrin clots that have not undergone FXIII-induced stabilization. Normal blood clots generally remain stable for 24 hours or more, while clots in which fibrin molecules have not been cross-linked are soluble within minutes. The outcome of the test is normal (FXIII present; a clot is observed in the test tube) or abnormal (FXIII absent or very low level; no clot in test tube).

Level of FXIII Activity One Hour After rFXIII Administration and 28 Days After rFXIII Administration for All Dosing VisitsFor a period of 322 days (approximately one year) comprised of a screening visit (Visit 1), treatment period (Visits 2-15), unscheduled visit and end-of-trial visit (Visit 16).

Subjects entered a 52-week treatment period of monthly (28±2 days) doses of 35 IU/kg rFXIII. Blood samples for analysis of FXIII activity were drawn at each visit; at dosing visits blood was drawn 1 hour after administration and before administration(corresponding to 28 days after the previous dose). All Dosing Visits are visits where a dose is given (i.e. Visit 2-15 except Visit 3).

Number of Subjects With rFXIII Antibody DevelopmentFor a period of 322 days (approximately one year) comprised of a screening visit (Visit 1), treatment period (Visits 2-15), unscheduled visit and end-of-trial visit (Visit 16).

Subjects receiving rFXIII were monitored for the development of binding antibodies. Blood sampling was done before administration of trial product at all visits (Visits 1-16 and unscheduled visit)
