Pharmacokinetic, Efficacy, and Safety Study of Recombinant Factor VIII Single Chain (rVIII-SingleChain) in Children With Severe Hemophilia A

Phase 3

Completed

Conditions: Congenital Hemophilia A

Registration Number: NCT02093897

Lead Sponsor: CSL Behring

Brief Summary: This is an international, multicenter, open-label study to assess the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of rVIII-SingleChain in pediatric patients with severe hemophilia A. A minimum of 25 previously treated subjects ≥ 6 to \< 12 years of age and at least 25 subjects \< 6 years of age who have undergone \> 50 exposure days (EDs) with a previous Factor VIII (FVIII) product are planned to be enrolled. Subjects will be assigned to either an on-demand or prophylaxis treatment regimen and will receive rVIII-SingleChain at a dose to be determined by the investigator. Hemostatic efficacy will be assessed by the subject/caregiver and the investigator who will assess overall efficacy by a 4-point scale.

Study & Design

Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Study Design: SINGLE_GROUP

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Treatment Success	Up to 1 year	Rate of treatment success where treatment success of a bleeding episode is defined as a rating of "excellent" or "good" based on the investigator's overall clinical assessment of hemostatic efficacy (using a 4-point scale of excellent, good, moderate or poor/no response) on the on-demand and prophylaxis regimens combined. The rate of success was based on the number of treated bleeding events; there were 347 treated bleeding events in the Efficacy Population.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Annualized Bleeding Rate	Up to 1 year	The annualized bleeding rate was defined as the number of bleeding episodes requiring treatment divided by the efficacy evaluation period in days, x 365.25, and is presented separately for the on-demand regimen and the prophylaxis regimens.
Incremental Recovery	At 1 hour after the start of infusion	Incremental recovery expressed as (IU/dL)/(IU/kg) corrected for subject's predose plasma FVIII activity measured using the chromogenic substrate assay.
Consumption of rVIII-SingleChain - IU/kg Per Subject Per Month	Up to 1 year
Consumption of rVIII-SingleChain - IU/kg Per Bleeding Event	Up to 1 year
Consumption of rVIII-SingleChain (On-demand Regimen) - Number of Infusions Per Subject Per Month	Up to 1 year
Percentage of Bleeding Episodes Requiring 1, 2, 3, or More Than 3 Infusions of rVIII-SingleChain to Achieve Hemostasis.	Up to 1 year
Consumption of rVIII-SingleChain (On-demand Regimen) - Number of Infusions Per Subject Per Year	Up to 1 year
Half-life (t1/2) of rVIII-SingleChain	Immediately before dosing, and at approximately 1, 5, 10, 24, and 48 hours after dosing.	Half-life (t1/2) of rVIII-SingleChain, baseline uncorrected; plasma FVIII activity measured using the chromogenic substrate assay.
Number of Subjects With Inhibitor Formation to rVIII-SingleChain	At screening, then after dosing at approximately monthly intervals for 6 months, then every 3 months until reaching 50 EDs, and at the end of study visit (up to approximately 12 months).	The number of subjects who develop inhibitors to rVIII-SingleChain, defined as a rVIII-SingleChain antibody titer of at least 0.6 Bethesda Units (BU) per mL after receiving study drug.
Area Under the Concentration Curve (AUC)	Immediately before dosing, and at approximately 1, 5, 10, 24, and 48 hours after dosing.	AUC to the last sample with quantifiable drug concentration (AUC0-t), baseline uncorrected; plasma FVIII activity measured using the chromogenic substrate assay.
Clearance (Cl) of rVIII-SingleChain	Immediately before dosing, and at approximately 1, 5, 10, 24, and 48 hours after dosing.	Clearance (Cl) of rVIII-SingleChain, baseline uncorrected; plasma FVIII activity measured using the chromogenic substrate assay.
Consumption of rVIII-SingleChain - IU/kg Per Subject Per Year	Up to 1 year
