Who may be able to join

  • The subject has severe hemophilia A as defined by a baseline factor VIII activity <1% of normal; tested at screening. (A minimum washout period of 3 days is required before the blood sample can be drawn to determine baseline factor VIII levels.)

Who cannot join

  • The subject has a known hypersensitivity to mouse or hamster proteins or to factor VIII concentrates.
  • The subject has a history of factor VIII inhibitors with titer >=0.8 BU (Bethesda Assay) or >=0.4 BU (Nijmegen modification of the Bethesda Assay) any time prior to screening.
  • The subject has a detectable factor VIII inhibitor at screening, >=0.4 BU (Nijmegen modification of the Bethesda Assay), in the Baxter central laboratory.
  • The subject has severe chronic liver disease as evidenced by, but not limited to, any of the following: International Normalized Ratio (INR) >1.4, hypoalbuminemia, portal vein hypertension including presence of otherwise unexplained splenomegaly and history of esophageal varices.
  • The subject has been diagnosed with an inherited or acquired hemostatic defect other than hemophilia A (e.g. qualitative platelet defect or von Willebrand´s Disease).
  • The subject has participated in another investigational study within 30 days of enrollment.
  • The subject´s clinical condition may require a major or moderate surgery (estimated blood loss >500 mL) during the period of participation in the study.

About this study

Official title: Advate Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant), Plasma/Albumin-Free Method (ADVATE rAHF-PFM): A Phase 4 Study to Determine the Pharmacokinetic Response of Patients Diagnosed With Severe Hemophilia A to Different Doses of ADVATE rAHF-PFM

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of 3 doses of ADVATE rAHF-PFM on initial recovery (% increase [IU/dL] per IU/kg infused) and major single-infusion pharmacokinetic parameters. The 3 doses are 15, 30, and 50 IU/kg. Prior to each infusion, subjects will not have received treatment with a factor VIII concentrate for at least 3 days. Blood samples will be drawn within 30 minutes pre-infusion and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 9, 24, 28, 32 and 48 hours post-infusion. A washout period of at least 3 days, but no more than 30 days between the last blood draw and the next infusion will be observed. During participation, subjects will maintain their preexisting treatment regimens with ADVATE rAHF-PFM or other factor VIII concentrate.

A secondary objective is to investigate the relationship between pharmacokinetic parameters at each dose level and the levels of von Willebrand factor ristocetin cofactor activity and von Willebrand factor antigen at baseline.

What is being measured

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

  1. Initial Recovery

    Percent increase in factor VIII concentration per dose from pre- to post-infusion

    Measured: Pharmacokinetic evaluations: 30 minutes pre-infusion to 30 minutes post-infusion

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Area Under the Curve/Dose

    Area under the plasma factor VIII concentration versus time curve (AUC) estimated by linear trapezoidal method per dose.

    Measured: Pharmacokinetic evaluations: 30 minutes pre-infusion up to 48 hours post-infusion

  2. Terminal Half-life

    Computed from the regression slope in the terminal phase of the model (the slope is biphasic). Terminal half life is the time it takes for the plasma concentration or the amount of drug in the body to be reduced by 50%.

    Measured: Pharmacokinetic evaluations: 30 minutes pre-infusion up to 48 hours post-infusion

  3. Area Under the Curve

    AUC estimated by linear trapezoidal method. The linear trapezoidal method is a numerical method used to approximate the area under a curve.

    Measured: Pharmacokinetic evaluations: 30 minutes pre-infusion up to 48 hours post-infusion

  4. Total Area Under the Curve

    Total AUC with extrapolation using the slope of the β-phase

    Measured: Pharmacokinetic evaluations: 30 minutes pre-infusion up to 48 hours post-infusion

  5. Total Area Under the Moment Curve

    Total area under the first moment curve (AUMC) estimated by linear trapezoidal methods

    Measured: Pharmacokinetic evaluations: 30 minutes pre-infusion up to 48 hours post-infusion

  6. Weight-adjusted Clearance

    Computed as weight-adjusted dose divided by total AUC

    Measured: Pharmacokinetic evaluations: 30 minutes pre-infusion up to 48 hours post-infusion

  7. Mean Residence Time

    Computed as total AUMC divided by total AUC

    Measured: Pharmacokinetic evaluations: 30 minutes pre-infusion up to 48 hours post-infusion

  8. Volume of Distribution at Steady State

    Computed as weight-adjusted CL * Mean Residence Time

    Measured: Pharmacokinetic evaluations: 30 minutes pre-infusion up to 48 hours post-infusion

  9. Maximum Plasma Concentration

    Maximal factor VIII concentration after infusion

    Measured: Pharmacokinetic evaluations: 30 minutes pre-infusion up to 48 hours post-infusion

  10. Pre-infusion Von Willebrand Factor Ristocetin Cofactor Activity (VWF:Rco)

    Percentage of normal VWF:Rco activity. Normal is a lab standard consisting of a non-hemophilic population. Relationships between baseline VWF:Rco and pharmacokinetic parameters (initial recovery, total AUC/dose, and half-life) were evaluated statistically.

    Measured: At baseline and before each pharmacokinetic evaluation

  11. Pre-infusion Von Willebrand Factor Antigen (VWF:Ag)

    Percentage of VWF:Ag. Relationships between baseline VWF:Ag and pharmacokinetic parameters (initial recovery, total AUC/dose, and half-life) were evaluated statistically.

    Measured: At baseline and before each pharmacokinetic evaluation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Antihemophilic factor, recombinant, manufactured protein-free in people with Hemophilia A, run by Baxalta now part of Shire at 8 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 7 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 10 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Jan 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Initial Recovery (time frame: Pharmacokinetic evaluations: 30 minutes pre-infusion to 30 minutes post-infusion). 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 10 Jun 2021.
