What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Moroctocog alfaDrug

    Also called ReFacto

    Patients will be treated in accordance with the requirements of the labeling of ReFacto (Moroctocog alfa) in Germany. The dosage and duration of therapy is to be determined by the physician to meet the patients' individual needs for treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean Number of Bleeding Episodes Per Patient Year

    Participants with hemophilia A suffer from a hereditary lack of blood clotting factor VIII. As a consequence, the ability of the blood to coagulate is reduced and bleedings at any site or organ of the body may occur after minor injury or even spontaneously. Predominantly, joints, muscles, and internal organs are affected by bleeding complications. Participants reported the occurrence of each bleeding episode while on study. The bleeding rate for each participant was calculated by number of reported episodes per years on study.

    Measured: Baseline up to a mean duration of 54 months

  2. Mean Number of Bleeding-related Exposure Days Per Patient Year

    Exposure days are the number of days of treatment with ReFacto.

    Measured: Baseline up to a mean duration of 54 months

  3. Mean Number of Exposure Days Per Patient Year

    Exposure days are the number of days of treatment with ReFacto.

    Measured: Baseline up to a mean duration of 54 months

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Number of Non-serious Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    AEs are any undesired side effect which occurred in a participant undergoing study treatment independent of whether a correlation with study treatment was suspected or not. SAEs are undesired events which were lethal or life-threatening, made hospitalization or extension of hospital stay necessary, lead to permanent damage with handicap (inability to work), as well as congenital anomalies, malignant disease, or overdosing. Also presence of inhibitors, thrombotic events, erythrocyte agglutination, allergic reactions, less than therapeutic effect, and inhibitor development were considered SAEs.

    Measured: Baseline up to a mean duration of 54 months

  2. Number of Participants With de Novo Inhibitor Formation

    The applied criteria of clinical relevance for de novo inhibitor formation was defined as normal Factor VIII dosage was ineffective to control a bleeding, control of bleeding episodes required increasing Factor VIII dosage, change of concentrate type (administration of activated Prothrombin-Complex Concentrate [aPCC] or recombinant Factor VII [rFVII ]) was needed to stop a bleeding, or change of therapy strategy (intensive prophylaxis or Immune Tolerance Induction [ITI]) was required.

    Measured: Baseline up to a mean duration of 54 months

  3. Mean Annual ReFacto Consumption Per Patient Year

    ReFacto administered as International Units (IU) according to the physician's decision following the drug's summary of product characteristics (SPC) and according to usual care principles.

    Measured: Baseline up to a mean duration of 54 months

  4. Number of Participants for Physicians' Assessment of Satisfaction With Treatment Success

    Subjective assessment by the physician to evaluate treatment success (i.e., control of bleeding, Factor VIII consumption, treatment efficacy and tolerance, handling of preparation, and days missing from work or school). Physician rated assessment could be categorized as Very satisfied, Satisfied, Unsatisfied, or Very unsatisfied; no criteria was pre-specified for the assessment categories in this observational study.

    Measured: Baseline up to a mean duration of 54 months

  5. Number of Participants for Physicians' Assessment of Efficacy

    Subjective assessment by the physician to evaluate control of bleeding. Physician rated assessment could be categorized as Very good, Good, Moderate, or Poor; no criteria was pre-specified for the assessment categories in this observational study.

    Measured: Baseline up to a mean duration of 54 months

  6. Number of Participants for Patients' Assessment of Efficacy

    Subjective assessment by the participant to evaluate control of bleeding. Patient rated assessment could be categorized as Very good, Good, Moderate, Poor, or No specification; no criteria was pre-specified for the assessment categories in this observational study.

    Measured: Baseline up to a mean duration of 54 months

  7. Number of Participants for Physicians' Assessment of Tolerance

    Subjective assessment by the physician to evaluate the participants' tolerance of treatment with ReFacto (i.e., dose, administration method, or adverse effects). Physician rated assessment could be categorized as Very good, Good, Moderate, or Poor; no criteria was pre-specified for the assessment categories in this observational study.

    Measured: Baseline up to a mean duration of 54 months

  8. Number of Participants for Patients' Assessment of Tolerance

    Subjective assessment by the participant to evaluate tolerance of treatment with ReFacto (i.e., dose, administration method, or adverse effects). Patient rated assessment could be categorized as Very good, Good, Moderate, Poor, or No specification; no criteria was pre-specified for the assessment categories in this observational study.

    Measured: Baseline up to a mean duration of 54 months

  9. Number of Participants for Physicians' Assessment of Handling of ReFacto

    Subjective assessment by the physician to evaluate the participants' handling (preparation and administration) of ReFacto. Physician rated assessment could be categorized as Very good, Good, Moderate, or Poor; no criteria was pre-specified for the assessment categories in this observational study.

    Measured: Baseline up to a mean duration of 54 months

  10. Number of Participants for Patients' Assessment of Handling of ReFacto

    Subjective assessment by the participant on handling (preparation and administration) of ReFacto. Patient rated assessment could be categorized as Very good, Good, Moderate, Poor, or No specification; no criteria was pre-specified for the assessment categories in this observational study.

    Measured: Baseline up to a mean duration of 54 months

  11. Number of Participants for Days of Sick Leave Per Month

    Days of sick leave (missing work or school) per month categorized as No days of absence, Number of days of absence, Long-term inability to work or study, Not employed or at school, or No specification.

    Measured: Baseline up to a mean duration of 54 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemophilia A, run by Wyeth is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer at 26 sites in 2 countries.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. 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 11 Feb 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 26 sites in Germany, Austria. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean Number of Bleeding Episodes Per Patient Year (time frame: Baseline up to a mean duration of 54 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 11 Feb 2011.
