About this study

Official title: IMMUNINE - Purified Factor IX Concentrate Virus-Inactivated: A Phase 4, Prospective, Open-label Multicenter Study to Prospectively Document the Exposure of IMMUNINE and to Monitor FIX Inhibitors in Previously Treated Patients With Severe (FIX Level < 1%) or Moderately Severe (FIX Level <= 2%) Hemophilia B Who Are Planned to Enter BAX 326 Study 250901 to Investigate a New Recombinant FIX Concentrate

The primary objective of this study is to prospectively document the exposure to IMMUNINE and to monitor FIX inhibitors over a period of approximately 20 to 50 exposure days while receiving prophylactic treatment in up to 50 previously treated patients (PTPs) aged 12-64 years and approximately 20 pediatric PTPs up to 11 years of age with severe (FIX level < 1%) or moderately severe (FIX level <= 2%) hemophilia B who are planned to enter BAX326 study 250901, provided all eligibility criteria are met.

In addition, this study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, immunogenicity, thrombogenicity, and health-related quality of life (HR QoL) of these subjects.

    Also called IMMUNINE

    Intravenous injection/infusion; dose for prophylaxis: 20-40 IU/kg bodyweight, twice weekly (which may be adjusted to the subject´s bleeding pattern and lifestyle); dose for bleeding episodes and surgery: according to the Summary of Product Characteristics and the Product Information Leaflet of the respective country.

What is being measured

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

  1. Hemostatic Efficacy

    • Number of IMMUNINE infusions required to achieve adequate hemostasis for each bleeding episode
    • Overall hemostatic efficacy rating of IMMUNINE for all bleeding episodes (scale of excellent, good, fair, none)
    • Annualized bleeding rate
    • Consumption of IMMUNINE
    • Number of infusions per month and per year (prophylaxis and on-demand)
    • Weight-adjusted consumption of IMMUNINE per event (prophylaxis, on-demand), per month and per year

    Measured: 28 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Factor IX Concentrate (purified, virus-inactivated) in people with Hemophilia B, run by Baxalta now part of Shire at 18 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 9 inclusion and 16 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 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in Poland, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Romania 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 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?

Hemostatic Efficacy (time frame: 28 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 23 Apr 2021.
