About this study

To determine the risk factors associated with inhibitor formation in hemophilia A and to study the mechanism of tolerance in the murine hemophilia A model.

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND:

The major hypothesis of this study is that suppression of immunoregulatory cytokines will prevent factor VIII inhibitor formation in the hemophilia A murine model: if successful, a treatment protocol could be developed for individuals identified to be at highest risk for inhibitor formation. Through this approach to the epidemiology and immunology of inhibitor formation, the health care of individuals with hemophilia may be improved.

The study is in response to a Request for Applications released in 1998 on the Immunogenetics of Inhibitor Formation in Hemophilia. .

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

A case-control study is conducted comparing prevalent hemophilia patients with inhibitors identified in the HMS Study with three age-matched controls without inhibitors to determine clinical and laboratory characteristics associated with inhibitor development. A histocompatibility study is conducted identifying patterns of HLA Class II antigens by molecular typing in hemophilic subjects identified in HMS, with and without inhibitors, which may be linked to inhibitor formation. An animal tolerance study is conducted in the hemophilia A murine model, evaluating blockade of T cell costimulatory pathways by CTLA4-Ig and anti-CD40L mAb, to prevent inhibitor formation.

The study completion date listed in this record was obtained from the "End Date" entered in the Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS) record.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Blood Disease and Hemophilia A, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 May 2016.
