What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction in Annualized Bleeding Episode Rate (ABR) Among Participants Receiving Prophylactic Treatment as Compared to Those Treated On-demand

    Participants were Randomized to Receive 1 of the 2 Following Treatment Regimens: 1.On-Demand: FEIBA NF dose \& dosing interval as prescribed by treating physician 2.Prophylaxis: 85 ± 15 U/kg of FEIBA NF every other day during 12-month prophylactic period Annualized rate of bleeding episodes was calculated as: (Number of bleeding episodes/observed treatment period in days) * 365.25

    Measured: 12 months ± 14 days

Secondary outcomes (42)
  1. Annualized Bleeding Rate by Treatment Regimen, Bleeding Etiology, and Bleed Type

    Spontaneous includes unknown/undermined etiology

    Measured: 12 months ± 14 days

  2. Differences in Mean Transformed Annualized Bleeding Rate Between On-Demand and Prophylaxis Treatment Regimens by Bleeding Etiology, and Bleeding Type

    Annualized bleed rates were transformed using the square root of the number of bleeding episodes observed (X bleeds/year), X' = √(X + 0.5). This transformation was performed to stabilize the variance and align the sample distribution with the assumption of normality inherent in using the t-test. The difference in mean transformed ABRs was used to perform statistical tests and generate p-values at a significance level of 5% Participants were Randomized to Receive 1 of the 2 Following Treatment Regimens: 1.On-Demand: FEIBA NF dose \& dosing interval as prescribed by treating physician 2.Prophylaxis: 85 ± 15 U/kg of FEIBA NF every other day during 12-month prophylactic period

    Measured: 12 months ± 14 days

  3. Annualized Bleeding Rate for New Target Joints

    Target joints are ≥4 bleeds/6 months in any one of the following joints: ankles, knees, elbows, and hips; a target joint bleeding episode refers to an individual anatomical location.

    Measured: 12 months ± 14 days

  4. Differences in Mean Transformed Annualized Bleeding Rate Between On-Demand and Prophylaxis Treatment Regimens: New Target Joints

    Annualized bleed rates (ABRs) were transformed using the square root of the number of bleeding episodes observed (X bleeds/year), X' = √(X + 0.5). This transformation was performed to stabilize the variance and align the sample distribution with the assumption of normality inherent in using a two-sample, two-sided t-test. The difference in mean transformed ABRs was used to perform statistical tests and generate p-values at a significance level of 5%

    Measured: 12 months ± 14 days

  5. Number of New Target Joints

    Target Joints are defined as ≥4 bleeds/6 months in any one of the following joints: ankles, knees, elbows and hips

    Measured: 12 months ± 14 days

  6. Assessment of Objective Clinical Symptoms- Visual Analog Scale (VAS): Pain in Adolescents and Adults (≥12 Years Old)

    Pain caused by a bleeding episode in adolescents and adults (≥12 years old) was measured at pre-infusion (pre-inf) and at 6 ± 0.5 hours (h) and 24 ± 1 h post-infusion (post-inf) (after the last infusion given to treat a bleeding episode) on the VAS pain scale in millimeters from 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst possible pain). For analysis purposes, if short acting analgesics (duration of activity approximately 6 ± 0.5 h) were used, pain was assigned the highest possible score (100). Pain assessment occurred after each infusion related to single bleeding episodes. In case participants required an additional infusion within 24h, pain was assessed 6 ± 0.5 h and 24 ±1 h following the subsequent infusion. Change in VAS scores at 6 ± 0.5 h and 24 ±1 h post-infusion were also compared relative to pre-infusion VAS scores (ie, (pre-infusion VAS score) - (post-infusion VAS score)).

    Measured: Throughout the study period, 12 months ± 14 days

  7. Assessment of Clinical Symptoms - Visual Analog Scale (VAS): Pain in Pediatrics (<12 Years Old)

    Pain caused by a bleeding episode (BE) in pediatric participants (<12 years old) was measured at pre-infusion (pre-inf) and at 6 ± 0.5 h and 24 ± 1 h post-infusion (post-inf) (after the last infusion given to treat a bleeding episode) using the children's VAS pain scale (a facial expression scale with one end marked as no pain and the opposite end marked as the worst possible pain). For analysis purposes, if short acting analgesics (duration of activity approximately 6 ± 0.5 h) were used, pain was assigned the highest possible score (worst possible pain). Scores on the children's VAS scale are presented as: -No Pain -Mild Pain -Moderate pain -Severe pain -Very severe pain

    Measured: 12 months ± 14 days

  8. Assessment of Clinical Symptoms - Range of Motion (ROM)

    ROM was measured using a goniometer for 3 key joints (ie, ankles, knees, and elbows) at screening, month 6, and termination (end of study visit)

    Measured: 12 months ± 14 days

    EQ-5D is a participant answered questionnaire scoring 5 dimensions - mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. The EQ-5D total score ranges from 0 (worst health state) to 1 (perfect health state) and 1 reflects the best outcome. EQ-5D Index scores based on EQ-5D questionnaire were calculated for participants ≥14 years of age, at screening, 6 months, and at termination visit. Changes in scores at 6 months and termination were also calculated. A relatively higher score represents better quality of life.

    Measured: 12 months ± 14 days

  38. Hemophilia-specific Quality of Life Questionnaire for Adults (Haem-A-QoL) ≥ 16 Years Old

    The Haem-A-QoL instrument has been developed and used in Hemophilia A patients. As a hemophilia-specific instrument, this measure assesses very specific aspects of dealing with hemophilia. The areas covered by this instrument are: Physical Health (PH), Sports \& Leisure (S\&L), School \& Work (W\&S), Dealing with Hemophilia (Dealing), Family Planning (FP), Feeling, Relationships (R'ships), Treatment, View, and Outlook for the Future (Future). A Haem-A-QoL Total Score (Total) was also calculated. For the Haem-A-QoL, higher scores indicate a worse quality of life. Scores on a scale range between 0 and 100. Haem-A-QoL scores at screening, 6 months, and at termination visit were collected. Changes in scores at 6 months and termination were also calculated.

    Measured: 12 months ± 14 days

  39. Hemophilia-specific Quality of Life Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents < 16 Years Old (Haemo-QoL) - Parent's Evaluation

    The Haemo-QoL is a quality of life (QoL) assessment instrument for children and adolescents with haemophilia. As a hemophilia-specific instrument, this measure assesses very specific aspects of dealing with hemophilia. The areas covered by this instrument are: Physical Health (PH), Sports \& School (S\&S), Dealing with Hemophilia (Dealing), Family, Feeling, Relationships (R'ships), Treatment, View, Outlook for the Future (Future), Friends, Others, and Support. A Haemo-QoL Total Score (Total) was also calculated. For the Haemo-QoL, higher scores indicate a worse quality of life. Scores on a scale range between 0 and 100. Haemo-QoL scores at screening, 6 months, and at termination visit were collected. Changes in scores at 6 months and termination were also calculated.

    Measured: 12 months ± 14 days

  40. Hemophilia-specific Quality of Life Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents < 16 Years Old (Haemo-QoL) - Child's Evaluation

    The Haemo-QoL is a quality of life (QoL) assessment instrument for children and adolescents with haemophilia. As a hemophilia-specific instrument, this measure assesses very specific aspects of dealing with hemophilia. The areas covered by this instrument are: Physical Health (PH), Sports \& School (S\&S), Dealing with Hemophilia (Dealing), Family, Feeling, Relationships (R'ships), Treatment, View, Outlook for the Future (Future), Friends, Others, and Support. A Haemo-QoL Total Score (Total) was also calculated. For the Haemo-QoL, higher scores indicate a worse quality of life. Scores on a scale range between 0 and 100. Haemo-QoL scores at screening, 6 months, and at termination visit were collected. Changes in scores at 6 months and termination were also calculated.

    Measured: 12 months ± 14 days

  41. Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) - General Pain Assessment Using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in Adults and Adolescents ≥12 Years Old

    General pain was assessed using a VAS pain scale at screening, 6 months, and at termination. Unlike the VAS pain assessment for pain of bleeding episodes (Outcome above), this general pain assessment did not take use of analgesics into account. For the pain scale, a higher number indicates worse pain. The visual analog scale ranges from 0 to 100 where the endpoints are labeled 'Worst imaginable health state' (=0) and 'Best imaginable health state' (=100). A positive change from baseline indicates improvement. Change in VAS scores at 6 months and study termination were also compared relative to Baseline/Screening scores (ie, (Baseline/Screening VAS score) - (VAS score at 6 months and study termination).

    Measured: Baseline, 6 months and 12 months ± 14 days

  42. Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) - General Pain Assessment Using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in Pediatrics <12 Years Old

    General pain was assessed using the children's VAS pain scale (a facial expression scale with one end marked as no pain and the opposite end marked as the worst possible pain). Assessments were done at the screening, 6 months, and termination visits. Scores on the children's VAS scale are presented as: -No Pain -Mild Pain -Moderate pain -Severe pain -Very severe pain Unlike the VAS pain assessment for pain of bleeding episodes (Outcome above), this general pain assessment did not take use of analgesics into account. Change in VAS scores at 6 months and study termination were also compared relative to Baseline/Screening scores (ie, (Baseline/Screening VAS score) - (VAS score at 6 months and study termination).

    Measured: Baseline, 6 months and 12 months ± 14 days

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Factor VIII Inhibitor Bypassing Activity (nanofiltered, vapor heat-treated) in people with Hemophilia A or B With Inhibitors and Hemophilia A, run by Baxalta now part of Shire at 17 sites in 10 countries.

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 12 inclusion and 13 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 19 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in Russia, United States, Brazil, Japan, Poland and 5 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 14 Mar 2014). 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?

Reduction in Annualized Bleeding Episode Rate (ABR) Among Participants Receiving Prophylactic Treatment as Compared to Those Treated On-demand (time frame: 12 months ± 14 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00851721, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 May 2021.
