About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine how female hemophilia A carriers respond to a medication called DDAVP (Desmopressin).

Read the detailed description

DDAVP (Desmopressin) is commonly used in the treatment of persons with bleeding disorders such as hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, or qualitative platelet disorders to help them clot better. The investigator wants to assess the increase in the subjects' clotting factors in response to intravenous DDAVP (Desmopressin) and the levels of these internal clotting factors will be measured at different times after the medication is given. The investigator will compare the response to DDAVP (Desmopressin) in adult hemophilia A carriers to women with a diagnosis of qualitative platelet dysfunction.

What participants receive

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

  • DesmopressinDrug

    Also called DDAVP

    Desmopressin or DDAVP will be administered intravenously (IV) via a nontraumatic peripheral IV line at a dose of 0.3 mcg/kg over 30 minutes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of subjects that achieve and sustain >50% increase in Factor VIII antigen levels

    After administration of intravenous Desmopressin (DDAVP) at 0.3mcg/kg, the percentage of subjects that achieve and sustain Factor VIII antigen (FVIII:C) levels >50% at 240 minutes as compared to baseline will be recorded. The levels of Factor VIII antigen (FVIII:C) will be measured using a one-stage assay. The laboratory response between carriers and the control group will be compared and the percentage of subjects that have greater than a 2-fold response from baseline and sustainment of Factor VIII antigen (FVIII:C) >50% at 240 minutes will be recorded. A lower percent of hemophilia A carriers who maintain levels of Factor VIII antigen (FVIII:C) >50% at 240 minutes indicates that the laboratory response and sustainment of Factor VIII antigen (FVIII:C) in response to Desmopressin (DDAVP) in adult hemophilia A carriers is reduced as compared to the control group.

    Measured: 240 minutes

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change in the time-course response of Factor VIII antigen levels

    After administration of intravenous Desmopressin (DDAVP) at 0.3mcg/kg, the carriers will be stratified by the type of mutation (mild or severe). The levels of Factor VIII antigen will be measured using a one-stage assay at baseline and 240 minutes. The levels of Factor VIII antigen in hemophilia carriers with mild and severe mutations will be recorded.

    Measured: Baseline, 240 minutes

  2. Change in the time-course response of von Willebrand factor antigen (vWF:Ag) levels

    After administration of intravenous Desmopressin (DDAVP) at 0.3mcg/kg, the carriers will be stratified by the type of mutation (mild or severe). The levels of von Willebrand factor antigen (vWF:Ag) will be measured using turbidometric assay at baseline and 240 minutes. The levels of von Willebrand factor antigen (vWF:Ag) in hemophilia carriers with mild and severe mutations will be recorded.

    Measured: Baseline, 240 minutes

  3. Mean FVIII:C/vWF:Ag ratio in subjects with the baseline FVIII:C/vWF:Ag ratio of 1

    The sustainment of Factor VIII antigen (FVIII:C) levels in subjects with Factor VIII antigen:von Willebrand factor antigen (FVIII:C:vWF:Ag) ratio of 1will be assessed. The levels of Factor VIII antigen and von Willebrand factor antigen will be measured using a one-stage assay and turbidometric assays respectively. The subjects that have a baseline FVIII:C:vWF:Ag =1 will have their FVIII:C:vWF:Ag ratio assessed at 240 minutes.

    Measured: 240 minutes

  4. Mean FVIII:C/vWF:Ag ratio in subjects with the baseline FVIII:C/vWF:Ag ratio of <1

    The sustainment of Factor VIII antigen (FVIII:C) levels in subjects with Factor VIII antigen:von Willebrand factor antigen (FVIII:C:vWF:Ag) ratio of <1 will be assessed. The levels of Factor VIII antigen and von Willebrand factor antigen will be measured using a one-stage assay and turbidometric assays respectively. The subjects that have a baseline FVIII:C:vWF:Ag <1 will have their FVIII:C:vWF:Ag ratio assessed at 240 minutes.

    Measured: 240 minutes

  5. Mean FVIII:C/vWF:Ag ratio in subjects with the baseline FVIII:C/vWF:Ag ratio of >1

    The sustainment of Factor VIII antigen (FVIII:C) levels in subjects with Factor VIII antigen:von Willebrand factor antigen (FVIII:C:vWF:Ag) ratio of >1will be assessed. The levels of Factor VIII antigen and von Willebrand factor antigen will be measured using a one-stage assay and turbidometric assays respectively. The subjects that have a baseline FVIII:C:vWF:Ag >1 will have their FVIII:C:vWF:Ag ratio assessed at 240 minutes.

    Measured: 240 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Desmopressin in people with Hemophilia A, run by Emory University at 2 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 9 inclusion and 4 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 16 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 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?

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?

Percentage of subjects that achieve and sustain >50% increase in Factor VIII antigen levels (time frame: 240 minutes). 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 16 Jul 2018.
