About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Randomized, Parallel, Multicenter Trial Comparing the Safety and Efficacy of rFVIIa When Administered as i.v. Bolus or i.v. Continuous Infusion to Hemophiliacs With Inhibitors During and After Major Surgery

This trial is conducted in North America. The aim of this trial is to compare the safety and efficacy of activated recombinant human factor VII in patients with haemophilia A or B undergoing major surgical procedures.

Being tested
activated recombinant human factor VII, factor IX, factor VIII

What participants receive

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

  • activated recombinant human factor VIIDrug

    Infused continuously at 50 mcg/kg/hr through Day 5 then at 25 mcg/kg/hr on Days 6 to10.

  • activated recombinant human factor VIIDrug

    Injected every 2 hours during surgery through Day 5, then every 4 hours for Days 6 to 10.

  • factor IXOther

    Patients with haemophilia A or B without inhibitors undergoing similar surgery were treated in accordance with local standard of care per physician's orders.

  • factor VIIIDrug

    Patients with haemophilia A or B without inhibitors undergoing similar surgery were treated in accordance with local standard of care per physician's orders.

  2. Changes in FVII:C (Factor VII clotting activity) levels following administration of activated recombinant human factor VII

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Adverse Events

  2. Changes in coagulation-related parameters

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing activated recombinant human factor VII, factor IX and factor VIII in people with Congenital Bleeding Disorder and Haemophilia A With Inhibitors, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 14 sites 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 3 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 29 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites 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.

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?

Presence and maintenance of haemostasis. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01561391, 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 29 Dec 2023.
