What is being measured

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

  1. Descriptive presentation of the results of the Basophil histamine release assay for both study and control groups

    Measured: within 36 months after allergic reaction

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Collect and evaluate adverse events that occur from the time the subject signs the informed consent form to 15 days following the study visit will be collected

    Measured: 15 days

  2. Any serious adverse events and/or adverse events of special interest occurring outside of the predefined study reporting period noted to be possibly, probably or definitely related to treatment with BeneFIX will be reported.

    Measured: 15 days following study blood draw

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemophilia B, run by Wyeth is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer.

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 12 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 18 Feb 2013. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Descriptive presentation of the results of the Basophil histamine release assay for both study and control groups (time frame: within 36 months after allergic reaction). 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 18 Feb 2013.
