Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a concentrate containing both FVIII and von Willebrand Factor (VWF) given at a high dose will induce immune tolerance in subjects who have already experienced and failed ITI with VWF-free FVIII concentrates. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Immune Tolerance Induction Study in Patients With Severe Type A Haemophilia With Inhibitor After Failure of a Previous Induction of Immune Tolerance With FVII Concentrates Without Von Willebrand Factor Rescue

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a concentrate containing both FVIII and von Willebrand Factor (VWF) given at a high dose will induce immune tolerance in subjects who have already experienced and failed ITI with VWF-free FVIII concentrates. The treatment on this study is expected to last up to 33 months.

Read the detailed description

The presence of Factor VIII (FVIII) inhibitor prevents FVIII infusions from working properly and makes treatment of bleeding episodes very difficult. Having an inhibitor is a serious and life-threatening complication in patients with Hemophilia. The usual treatment of patients with FVIII inhibitors involves what is called "immune tolerance induction" (ITI). Immune Tolerance means that the body can accept infused FVIII and that FVIII is again effective in controlling bleeds. ITI involves giving high doses of FVIII regularly until the inhibitor disappears. This treatment is not always effective. The inhibitor persists in about 1 in 5 patients who undergo ITI.

There are 2 types of FVIII concentrates: FVIII concentrates derived from human plasma, which contain VWF, and concentrates of FVIII without VWF. Both types of concentrates are commonly used to induce immune tolerance in patients with Hemophilia A. Retrospective studies on subjects who were treated with VWF containing Factor VIII concentrates after failing ITI with pure factor VIII concentrates, have shown that tolerance can be achieved in a large percentage of patients. This study will access prospectively whether treatment with a FVIII concentrate containing VWF given at a high dose (200 units per kilogram) daily for up to 33 months is able to induce immune tolerance after previous attempts with concentrates containing only FVIII have failed.

What participants receive

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

  • VWF/FVIII concentratesDrug

    Also called Koate-DVI, Emoclot DI, Factane, 8Y

    200 IU/Kg by one or two bolus injections daily. After successful confirmation the dose will be tailed off progressively until discontinuation. Patients will be treated with a VWF/FVIII concentrates according to physician/patients preference.

What is being measured

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

  1. Achievement of an inhibitor titer of <0.6 BU/failure to achieve an inhibitor titer of <0.6 BU within 33 months, or failure to decrease inhibitor titer by at least 20% compared to titer in prior 6 months, beginning at 3 months after starting ITI

    Primary end point is the achievement of an inhibitor titer of less than 0.6 BU or failure to achieve an inhibitor titer of less than 0.6 BU within 33 months of treatment, or failure to decrease the inhibitor titer by at least 20% compared to the titer in the prior 6 months, beginning at 3 months after starting ITI

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time to achieve success- either partial or complete.

    Measured: 33 months

  2. Safety - assessment of adverse events through treatment and compliance with prolonged regimen.

    Includes assessment and evaluation of adverse events occurring through treatment and compliance with a lengthy regimen

    Measured: 33 months

  3. Cost of care.

    Direct cost will be calculated

    Measured: Up to 45 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing VWF/FVIII concentrates in people with Severe Hemophilia A, run by City of Hope Medical Center 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 3 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 23 Aug 2021. 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.

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?

Achievement of an inhibitor titer of <0.6 BU/failure to achieve an inhibitor titer of <0.6 BU within 33 months, or failure to decrease inhibitor titer by at least 20% compared to titer in prior 6 months, beginning at 3 months after starting ITI (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT01051076, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 23 Aug 2021.
