简要总结
The primary objective of this study is to test the feasibility of a large-scale clinical trial of once-daily prophylaxis. The secondary objectives are to collect clinical efficacy outcomes so that we can better plan a large-scale study; we will estimate the effect size and variability of effect and resource utilization of once-daily prophylaxis to allow us to set a sample size for a definitive trial.
详细描述
Hemophilia is an important and costly disorder; if left untreated, it may have serious consequences. The greatest impact of hemophilia occurs from recurrent bleeding into joints. The consequences of joint bleeding include pain associated with acute bleeding and later chronic arthropathy. Half of affected children with severe hemophilia have joint damage; joint damage is more frequent with increased bleeding. The prevention and treatment of bleeding is very expensive and therefore finding a cost-effective treatment is of high priority.
Worldwide, two major treatment strategies have been used to prevent arthropathy - on demand therapy and factor prophylaxis. The goal of prophylaxis is to convert the severe to the moderate phenotype by providing circulating factor activity of greater than 1%. Patients with greater than 1% circulating factor VIII activity rarely have spontaneous hemarthroses. Therefore, the goal of providing circulating factor at this level is to eliminate spontaneous hemarthroses. The term primary prophylaxis suggests using preventative factor VIII replacement from a very early age. The term secondary prophylaxis is used to describe the application of prophylaxis at a later disease stage. In this study, secondary prophylaxis will be used.
Once-daily prophylaxis is a novel application of hemophilia factor prophylaxis for youth and young adults. Before embarking on a costly definitive trial we feel that it is necessary to demonstrate that subjects will be willing to enroll and will be compliant with the therapy. Moreover, we need to establish an estimate of the effect of once-daily prophylaxis on bleeding rates, quality of life, and joint damage progression in order to design a definitive trial.

结局指标
主要结局
Hemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS) 2.0
时间窗: 4 months, 12 months
Tool developed to assess joint health in persons with hemophilia (PWH) through several assessments of 9 items in the 6 index joints (elbows, knees, and ankles). It has been internationally validated and has demonstrated inter-observer and test-retest reliability supporting its use as an effective physical examination assessment tool for PWH. Range: 0 - 124 ( Best score = 0, Worst score = 124)
Functional Independence Score in Hemophilia (FISH)
时间窗: 4 months, 12 months
Tool for assessment of 8 areas of musculoskeletal (MSK) function in patients with hemophlia. Range: 0 - 32 ( Best score = 0, Worst score = 32)
Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM) . Version II
时间窗: 4 months, 12 months
Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM) is an 11-item questionnaire used to evaluate patient satisfaction when starting a new medication and/or treatment. The areas of Effectiveness, Side-Effects, Convenience, and Global Satisfaction are assessed. A modified version (approved by developers) of the questionnaire with the deletion of side effects was used fro the purpose of the study. Effectiveness, Convenience, and Global Satisfaction all include the Range: 0 - 100 ( Best score = 0, Worst score = 100)
HRQoL Transformed Z-Score (Includes the Canadian Haemophilia Outcomes-Kids Life Assessment Tool (CHO-KLAT) and Haemo-QoL A)
时间窗: 4 months, 12 months
Canadian Haemophilia Outcomes-Kids Life Assessment Tool is a validated 35-item disease specific measure of Quality of Life in boys with hemophilia ages 4 - 17 yrs. Range: 0 - 100 ( Best score = 100, Worst score = 0) The Adult Haemo-QoL Questionnaire is a validated disease specific measure of Quality of Life in adults with hemophilia ages \> 18 yrs. It is a 41-item questionnaire that considers how hemophilia affects 4 specific areas of their life. These areas include day-to-day activities, moods \& feelings, work or school life, family life \& social life, and hemophilia treatment. Range: 0 - 100 ( Best score = 0, Worst score = 100) The two measures were transformed into a Z-score to enable comparison across both HRQoL scores. A score of 0 represents no difference between the means, whereas a positive z-score would indicate an improvement in HRQoL between baseline and end of study.
The Previous Day Physical Activity Recall
时间窗: 4 months and 12 months
The Previous Day Physical Activity Recall is a well-validated assessment of habitual physical activity. Activity was reported on 1 weekend day, and 2 weekdays.The intensity of the activity was recorded in Metabolic Equivalents (METs) and categorized as Light (\< 3.0 METs), Moderate (3.0 - 5.9 METs), Hard (6.0 - 8.9 METs), Very Hard (10.0 METs) Range: 0 - 10 METs per activity ( Best score = 10, Worst score = 0) MPA = Moderate Physical Activity VPA = Vigorous Physical Activity
Total Number of Index Joint Bleeds
时间窗: 4, 8, and 12 months
The total number of index joint (elbows, knees, ankles) were extracted from the participant's (self-reported) diaries.
次要结局
- Mean Yearly Factor Consumption of FVIII Product on Low Dose Daily Prophylaxis(12 months)
