About this study

Official title: An International Randomised Controlled Trial Of Immune Tolerance Induction

The purpose of this study is to see if a low-dose arm or a high dose-arm of immune tolerance is more effective in eliminating inhibitors in patients with hemophilia A.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will be randomized into a low-dose or high-dose immune tolerance regimen and this study will compare the success rates, the time to achieve tolerance,the complications and the cost of both regimens.It will also aim to identify predictors of successful immune tolerance.

Being tested
Factor VIII concentrates, Low-dose treatment, High-dose treatment

What participants receive

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

  • Factor VIII concentratesDrug

    To be determined at the discretion of the investigator.

  • Low-dose treatmentOther

    50 FVIII u/kg three times a week.

  • High-dose treatmentOther

    200 FVIII u/kg per day.

  6. The number of factor VIII treatment days between inhibitor detection and initiation of ITI, success of ITI.

    Measured: Up to 69 months

  7. The type of concentrate used (von Willebrand factor-containing, monoclonal or recombinant), success rate and time to success,

    Measured: Up to 69 months

  8. The effect of interim infections/immunisations, success rate and time to success,

    Measured: Up to 69 months

  9. The effect of treatment interruption, success rate and time to success.

    Measured: Up to 69 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Factor VIII concentrates, Low-dose treatment and High-dose treatment in people with Hemophilia A With Inhibitors, run by New York Presbyterian Hospital at 39 sites in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Dec 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 39 sites in United States. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: The DSMB recommended stopping the study due to safety concerns.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Success-rate and partial success-rate (time frame: Up to 69 months). The study lists 5 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 7 Dec 2009.
