Trial summary

Antibodies (Abs) directed against factorVIII (FVIII) remain the main iatrogenic complication in haemophilia A (HA) patients. Anti-FVIII Abs inhibiting pro-coagulant properties of the molecule are named inhibitors whereas Abs directed towards non-functional epitopes are named non-neutralizing antibodies (NNA).

About this study

Official title: Prevalence and Epitope Specificity of Non-neutralizing Antibodies in Haemophilia A Patients Without Inhibitors, Immunogenicity of B Domain: A Prospective Study

Antibodies (Abs) directed against factorVIII (FVIII) remain the main iatrogenic complication in haemophilia A (HA) patients. Anti-FVIII Abs inhibiting pro-coagulant properties of the molecule are named inhibitors whereas Abs directed towards non-functional epitopes are named non-neutralizing antibodies (NNA). These NNA are poorly studied and their prevalence is ill-defined.

In a recent retrospective study the investigators evaluated, in a cohort of 210 patients without inhibitor, the NNA prevalence and the NNA epitope specificity against the heavy chain (HC)or the light chain(LC). For the first time, the investigators used two x-MAP based assays: the first to determine the specificity of anti-FVIII Abs against the HC or the LC, the second to display Abs directed towards the B domain. NNA were found in 38 out of 210 patients (18).

Among this NNA positive population, 74% and 13% of patients had anti-FVIII Abs against both chains. The proportion of NNA directed towards the B domain was 18%.

Considering an approximate inhibitor prevalence of 30% and a NNA prevalence of 19% in severe HA patients, approximately 50% of severe HA patients develop an immune response against infused FVIII. Due to their unclear relevance, the NNA detection does not yet belong to the routine clinical practice.

However, in 2006, Dimichele advancedf a hypothesis concerning the influence of NNA on the variations in the kinectics of FVIII observed in certain patients.

The mechanism explaining the role of these NNA in the FVIII in the FVIII kinectics has not still been demonstrated.

The investigators propose to perform a multicentre prospective study with the aim to confirm, in severe, moderate and mild HA treated patietns, the NNA prevalence observed in our retrospective study, to study the evolution over time of the epitopemapping of these NNA and to explore the correlation between these NNA and clinical/biological parameters.

What is being measured

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

  1. NNA prevalence

    The primary outcome is the study of the development of ANN anti-FVIII at the severe, moderate or mild HA patients to establish prevalency of ACs targeted against the heavy chain, the light chain and the domains of the FVIII (6 months after the inclusion.

    The investigators will evaluate the NNA prevalence by the x-MAP technology.

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Relationship between clinical and biological parameters and NNA presence

    The secondary outcomes assess the evolution in time of these Acs of isotypes IgG and the relationship between clinical and biological parameters (FVIII%, recovery,..) and NNA presence.

    The investigators will evaluate the secondary outcomes by the x-MAP technology.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemophilia A, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 4 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Dec 2014. 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 France. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

NNA prevalence (time frame: 18 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 NCT01541527, 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 31 Dec 2014.
