About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-Label, Crossover Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of 2 Vial Strengths of Recombinant Factor VIII Fc Fusion Protein (rFVIIIFc; BIIB031) in Previously Treated Subjects With Severe Hemophilia A

The primary objective of the study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of rFVIIIFc administered at vial strengths of 1000 and 3000 IU in subjects with severe hemophilia A. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of rFVIIIFc beyond the PK assessment for up to 6 months for a continued treatment period.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, open-label, crossover study during which each participant receives a single injection of rFVIIIFc from 2 different vial concentrations (PK assessment). After the PK assessment, participants are provided with rFVIIIFc for either prophylactic or episodic (on-demand) treatment for up to 6 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing rFVIIIFc in people with Severe Hemophilia A, run by Bioverativ Therapeutics Inc. at 8 sites in 3 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 7 inclusion and 7 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 19 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States, United Kingdom, Australia. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Aug 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity (AUCinf) as Measured by Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT) Clotting Assay (time frame: Predose, 0.5 hour (+-5 minutes); 1 hour and 6 hours (+-10 minutes); and 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours (+-60 minutes) after each injection). 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?
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 19 Dec 2020.
