About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Study of the Hemostatic Activity, Pharmacokinetics and Safety of OBI-1 (B-Domain Deleted Recombinant Porcine FVIII), When Administered by Intravenous Injection, to Control Non-Life and Non-Limb Threatening Bleeding Episodes in Congenital Hemophilia A Patients With an Inhibitor to Human FVIII

The ability of a new recombinant porcine coagulation factor VIII, B-domain deleted (called "OBI-1"), to control the non-life- or limb-threatening bleeding episodes patients with hemophilia A commonly develop is being evaluated. Patients with congenital hemophilia A and a low-titer (<20 Bethesda units [Bu]) inhibitory antibody to OBI-1, who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria, will receive OBI-1 to treat their soft tissue or joint bleeding episode. At least the first two treatment episodes will be performed in the controlled setting of the hemophilia center/clinic/office, where any side effects can be observed. If the patient continues to meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria, has had no serious or severe adverse reactions to OBI-1, and has been in a home care program, the investigator may permit the patient to self-administer OBI-1 at home to treat subsequent bleeding episodes. The study will continue at least until 12 or more patients have received at least 24 treatment episodes in the aggregate.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the hemostatic activity of OBI-1 to control a bleeding episode in hemophilia A patients with inhibitors who are experiencing a non-life and/or non-limb threatening bleeding episode.

The secondary objectives of this study will be to assess the:

  • safety of OBI-1,
  • serial anti-OBI-1 and anti-human factor VIII (fVIII) inhibitor antibody responses following therapeutic administration of OBI-1, and
  • pharmacokinetics of OBI-1 administered to control a bleeding episode.

After qualifying for the study at a Screening visit, patients will come to the investigator for treatment of a qualifying bleeding episode. After baseline blood samples are taken for inhibitor titer, a Loading Dose of OBI-1, calculated to inactivate the inhibitor, will be administered intravenously. After a blood sample is drawn to measure inhibitor titer and fVIII level, a Treatment Dose of 50 U/kg is administered. Serial blood samples will be drawn for fVIII levels for pharmacokinetics. At 6-hour intervals, additional Treatment doses, at increasing dose levels up to 150 U/kg, may be given if needed. Follow-up safety evaluations, beginning at Day 14, are scheduled; inhibitor titers against human fVIII and OBI-1 will be measured to assess continuing eligibility.

A second qualifying bleeding episode will be treated as the first, but without pharmacokinetic samples. If the patient's inhibitor titer against OBI-1 rises to > 20 Bu, further treatments with OBI-1 will be suspended until the titer decreases to 20 Bu or lower. Third and subsequent treatment episodes may be self-administered by the patient, under strict supervision of the investigator, in home care.

The study will continue until at least 12 patients have received at least 24 treatments, unless the Data Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) recommends a change in dosing calculations sooner.

What participants receive

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

  • recombinant porcine coagulation factor VIII (OBI-1)Drug

What is being measured

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

  1. The percentage of successful treatment episodes, defined as having achieved control of the bleeding episode within One Loading Dose and 8 or fewer Treatment Doses, with a dose limit of 1000 U/kg in 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Adverse events and serious adverse events observed throughout course of study

  2. Pattern of inhibitory antibody response to OBI-1 following treatments

  3. The percentage of patients who continue to qualify because their anti-OBI-1 titer remains at 20 Bu or less

  4. Pharmacokinetics of OBI-1 when it is administered for treatment of a qualifying bleeding episode, in the absence of an inhibitory antibody to OBI-1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing recombinant porcine coagulation factor VIII (OBI-1) in people with Hemophilia A, run by Octagen Corporation at 1 site 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 5 inclusion and 6 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 4 Oct 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

The percentage of successful treatment episodes, defined as having achieved control of the bleeding episode within One Loading Dose and 8 or fewer Treatment Doses, with a dose limit of 1000 U/kg in 24 hours. 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 4 Oct 2007.
