About this study

Official title: Observational Study Evaluating Efficacy and Costs of Secondary Prophylaxis vs On-demand Therapy With Kogenate Bayer in Patients With Severe Haemophilia A. POTTER

The project is a controlled observational, multicenter, prospective data collection on secondary prophylaxis with Kogenate Bayer in adolescents and adults with severe haemophilia A (FVIII < 1%).

The observational period will cover at least 5 years per patient.

The long-term secondary prophylaxis group will be compared versus on-demand treatment group by the assessment of orthopedic status progression and pharmacoeconomics evaluation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacoeconomic of long-term secondary prophylaxis with Kogenate Bayer in comparison to on-demand treatment with Kogenate Bayer in terms of joint bleeding episodes per year

    Measured: Every 6 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Efficacy, safety, pharmacoeconomic impact of secondary prophylaxis versus on demand group in terms of overall bleeding episodes

    Measured: Every 6 months

  2. Muscolo skeletal evaluation by Orthopedic Joint Score

    Measured: Every 12 months

  3. Radiological Evaluation by Pettersson Score

    Measured: Baseline and after 3-5 years

  4. Health related quality of life

    Measured: Every 12 months

  5. cost-effectiveness and utility, patient compliance, adverse events

    Measured: Every 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemophilia A, run by Bayer at 1 site in Italy.

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 7 inclusion and 9 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 13 Apr 2011. 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 Italy. 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?

Evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacoeconomic of long-term secondary prophylaxis with Kogenate Bayer in comparison to on-demand treatment with Kogenate Bayer in terms of joint bleeding episodes per year (time frame: Every 6 months). 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 NCT01159587, 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?
