About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of Benefix®- Coagulation Factor ix, Recombinant, in Previously Treated Patients With Hemophilia b.

To assess efficacy and safety of BeneFix® for prophylaxis in "Short-term" therapy and on demand therapy for all bleeding episodes of subjects with hemophilia B.

Read the detailed description

Phase IV, open-label, non comparative, multicenter, previously treated patients (PTP) clinical trial. Patients with severe or moderate hemophilia B with baseline levels of plasma factor IX < 5% activity will participate in this study for both treatment regimens: "on demand" therapy for acute bleeding episodes and therapy for prophylaxis of bleeding episodes ( "Short-term therapy")*.

  • Short-Term Therapy: Prophylactic therapy given before surgery, including dental procedures, prior to a event that would likely result in bleeding ( sports, exercise, or heavy work), as well as to prevent further bleeds into a target joint). This short-term therapy for intermittent secondary therapy.

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?

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 primary variable will be the clinical response of BeneFix* in avoiding stopping or avoiding bleeding. (time frame: 9 months). 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 27 Dec 2007.
