    Also called BAX 855, ADYNOVATE

    Lyophilized powder and solvent for solution for injection

Study groups in NCT01913405
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
BAX855ExperimentalPre-operative loading dose: Single loading dose, pre-surgery administered based on each study participant's individual PK results as well as target trough level for type and character of surgery, dental or invasive procedure being performed. In general, major surgery will target an 80-150% FVIII trough level, and minor surgery will target an initial 30-100% FVIII trough level. Intra-operative and post-operative dosing of BAX855 must be based on pre-dosage measurements of FVIII and the type and character of the surgery performed.
Receives: Biological: PEGylated Recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII)

What is being measured

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

  1. Global Hemostatic Efficacy Assessment Score (GHEA) - Composed of 3 Individual Ratings

    GHEA=Sum of 1-3 ratings: Excellent: 7-9 (no category <2), Good: 5-7 (no category <1), Fair: 3-4 (no category <1) 1. Intraoperative and 2. Postoperative (postoperative day 1) hemostatic efficacy assessments: Excellent=3: Blood Loss (BL) ≤ than expected for procedure type in non-hemophilic population (NHP) (≤100%), Good=2: BL ≤50% more than expect. for procedure type in NHP (101-150%), Fair=1: BL >50% more than expect. for procedure type in NHP (>150%), None=0: Significant bleeding-requiring rescue therapy (RT) 3. Perioperative hemostatic efficacy assessment (day 14 or discharge, whatever is first): Excellent=3: BL and required blood transfusions (BT) less than or similar (≤100%) to that expected for procedure type in NHP, Good=2: BL ≤50% more (101-150%) and BT less than or similar to that expected for procedure type in NHP, Fair=1: BL >50% more (>150%) and BT greater than expected in NHP, None=0: Significant bleeding-requiring RT, BT substantially greater than expected in NHP

    Measured: Hemostatic efficacy assessments were performed intraoperatively, postoperatively on day 1 (approximately 24 hours after surgery) and perioperatively at day 14 or discharge (whichever was first).

Secondary outcomes (24)
  1. Intraoperative Blood Loss

    Actual intraoperative blood loss was assessed at the end of surgery and was compared to the estimated volume of expected average and maximum blood loss in a hemostatically normal individual of the same sex, age and stature as the study participant. Expected intraoperative blood loss was predicted preoperatively by the investigator/surgeon.

    Measured: From initiation of surgery until end of surgery.

  2. Postoperative Blood Loss

    Actual post-operative blood loss assessed at postoperative day 1 was compared to the estimated volume of expected average and maximum blood loss in a hemostatically normal individual of the same sex, age and stature as the study participant. Expected postoperative blood loss was predicted pre-operatively by the investigator/surgeon.

    Measured: From completion of surgery until 24 hours after surgery.

  3. Overall Perioperative Blood Loss

    Actual overall perioperative blood loss (assessed at the end of surgery, at postoperative day 1 and until discharge or day 14 - whichever is first) was compared to the estimated volume of expected average and maximum blood loss in a hemostatically normal individual of the same sex, age and stature as the study participant. Expected perioperative blood loss was predicted pre-operatively by the investigator/surgeon.

    Measured: From start of surgery until discharge or day 14, whichever occurred first.

  4. Transfusion Requirements

    Volume of blood, red blood cells, platelets, and other blood products transfused. Only packed red blood cells were transfused in this study.

    Measured: From initiation of the surgery to 24 hours after completion of the surgery.

  5. Occurrence of Bleeding Episodes and Additional Need for Surgical Intervention

    Any clinically relevant bleeding episodes (as assessed by the investigator) as well as the need for any further surgical interventions were recorded. If the subject had not resumed his previous treatment after discharge, the occurrence and treatment of bleeding episodes were recorded in the subject's diary.

    Measured: Intra- and post-operative period, until the last intensified treatment after hospital discharge (minor surgery 1-3 days, major surgery average approximately 2 weeks)

  6. Consumption of BAX855

    Daily and total weight-adjusted consumption of BAX855 per subject.

    Measured: From initial loading dose until discharge for daily weight-adjusted dose and from first infusion (PK/IR) until end of study for total weight-adjusted dose.

  7. Pharmacokinetics (PK) - Area Under the Plasma Concentration/Time Curve From Time 0 to Infinity (AUC0-∞)

    Following at least a 72 hour washout period a single dose of BAX855 was administered. The PK profiles was used to guide dosing and dosing frequency during the perioperative time period. The area under the plasma concentration/time curve from time 0 to infinity (AUC 0-inf) and the area under the first movement curve from time 0 to infinity (AUMC 0-inf) was calculated as the sum of AUC and AUMC from time 0 to the time of the last quantifiable concentration plus a tail area correction calculated as Ct/λz and Ct/λz(t+1/λz), respectively, where Ct is the last quantifiable concentration, t is the time of last quantifiable concentration and λz is the terminal or disposition rate constant. Main analysis was done on the one-stage clotting assay results, supportive analysis was done on the chromogenic assay results.

    Measured: PK measurements were done within 30 minutes pre-infusion, and post infusion at 15 (± 5) minutes, 3 hours (± 30 minutes), 9 hours (± 30 minutes), 32 (± 2) hours, 56 (± 4) hours and 96 (± 4) hours.

  8. Pharmacokinetics (PK) - Area Under the Plasma Concentration/Time Curve From Time 0 to 96 Hours Post-infusion (AUC0-96h)

    Following at least a 72 hour (h) washout period a single dose of BAX855 will be administered. The PK profiles was used to guide dosing and dosing frequency during the perioperative time period. The area under the plasma concentration/time curve from time 0 to 96 hours postinfusion (AUC 0-96h) was computed using the linear trapezoidal rule. For the calculation of AUC 0-96h the levels at 96 hours were linearly interpolated/extrapolated from the 2 nearest sampling time points. Main analysis was done on the one-stage clotting assay results, supportive analysis was done on the chromogenic assay results.

    Measured: PK measurements were done within 30 minutes pre-infusion, and post infusion at 15 (± 5) minutes, 3 hours (± 30 minutes), 9 hours (± 30 minutes), 32 (± 2) hours, 56 (± 4) hours and 96 (± 4) hours.

  9. Pharmacokinetics (PK) - Terminal Half-life (T1/2)

    Following at least a 72 hour washout period a single dose of BAX855 will be administered. The PK profiles will be used to guide dosing and dosing frequency during the perioperative time period. Terminal or disposition half-life (HL) was calculated as log e(2)/λz where the terminal or disposition rate constant (λz) was estimated as the slope of a log-linear least squares regression model. Main analysis was done on the one-stage clotting assay results, supportive analysis was done on the chromogenic assay results. Terminal half life is the time it takes for the plasma concentration or the amount of drug in the body to be reduced by 50%.

    Measured: PK measurements were done within 30 minutes pre-infusion, and post infusion at 15 (± 5) minutes, 3 hours (± 30 minutes), 9 hours (± 30 minutes), 32 (± 2) hours, 56 (± 4) hours and 96 (± 4) hours.

  10. Pharmacokinetics (PK) - Mean Residence Time (MRT)

    Following at least a 72 hour washout period a single dose of BAX855 will be administered. The PK profiles will be used to guide dosing and dosing frequency during the perioperative time period. Mean residence time (MRT) was calculated as total area under the moment curve divided by the total area under the curve. Main analysis was done on the one-stage clotting assay results, supportive analysis was done on the chromogenic assay results.

    Measured: PK measurements were done within 30 minutes pre-infusion, and post infusion at 15 (± 5) minutes, 3 hours (± 30 minutes), 9 hours (± 30 minutes), 32 (± 2) hours, 56 (± 4) hours and 96 (± 4) hours.

  11. Pharmacokinetics (PK) - Clearance (CL)

    Following a 72 hour washout period a single dose of BAX855 will be administered. The PK profiles will be used to guide dosing and dosing frequency during the perioperative time period. Systemic clearance (CL) was calculated as the dose in IU/kg divided by the total AUC. Main analysis was done on the one-stage clotting assay results, supportive analysis was done on the chromogenic assay results. h = hours

    Measured: PK measurements were done within 30 minutes pre-infusion, and post infusion at 15 (± 5) minutes, 3 hours (± 30 minutes), 9 hours (± 30 minutes), 32 (± 2) hours, 56 (± 4) hours and 96 (± 4) hours.

  12. Pharmacokinetics (PK) - Apparent Volume of Distribution at Steady State (Vss)

    Following at least a 72 hour washout period a single dose of BAX855 will be administered. The PK profiles will be used to guide dosing and dosing frequency during the perioperative time period. Apparent steady state volume of distribution (Vss) was calculated as dose multiplied with AUMC(0-inf) divided by AUC(0-inf) to square. Main analysis was done on the one-stage clotting assay results, supportive analysis was done on the chromogenic assay results.

    Measured: PK measurements were done within 30 minutes pre-infusion, and post infusion at 15 (± 5) minutes, 3 hours (± 30 minutes), 9 hours (± 30 minutes), 32 (± 2) hours, 56 (± 4) hours and 96 (± 4) hours.

  13. Pharmacokinetics (PK) - Incremental Recovery(IR)

    Following at least a 72 hour washout period a single dose of BAX855 will be administered. The PK profiles will be used to guide dosing and dosing frequency during the perioperative time period. Incremental recovery (IR) was calculated as C post infusion minus C pre-infusion divided by the dose. Main analysis was done on the one-stage clotting assay results, supportive analysis was done on the chromogenic assay results.

    Measured: PK measurements were done within 30 minutes pre-infusion, and post infusion at 15 (± 5) minutes, 3 hours (± 30 minutes), 9 hours (± 30 minutes), 32 (± 2) hours, 56 (± 4) hours and 96 (± 4) hours.
