About this study

Official title: Factor Product Utilization and Health Outcomes in Patients With Hemophilia A and B in Canada: An Observational Study of Real-world Outcomes

Recombinant factor VIII Fc (rFVIIIFc) and recombinant factor IX Fc (rFIXFc) are extended half-life coagulation factors approved by Health Canada in 2014 for the treatment of severe hemophilia A and B, respectively. The objectives of this observational study is to describe the change in annual factor consumption, clinical and patient-reported outcomes for patients who switch from recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) and recombinant factor IX (rFIX) to rFVIIIFc/ rFIXFc in Canada, and to explore clinicians' and patients' reasons for switching or not switching.

  10. Change in treatment satisfaction abbreviated 9-item Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9) questionnaire.

    Abbreviated 9-item Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9) questionnaire.

    Measured: From baseline to 3 months, 12 months and 24 months

  11. Change in mood "Mental Health" subscale of SF-36

    partner or caregiver's subjective assessment of subject's mood from baseline to 3 months.

    Measured: From baseline to 3 months, 12 months and 24 months

  12. Change in mood partner/caregiver subjective assessment numeric rating scale (0-10)

    Partner or caregiver's subjective assessment of subject's mood from baseline to 3 months.

    Measured: From baseline to 3 months only

  13. Clinicians' and patients' reason for switching to rFVIIIFc

    Choice among list of common reasons for changing product

    Measured: Baseline through study completion, an average of 2 years

  14. Clinicians' and patients' reason for switching to rFIXFc

    Choice among list of common reasons for changing product

    Measured: Baseline through study completion, an average of 2 years

  15. Product used for treatment of breakthrough bleeding and surgical procedures

    Choice among list of products

    Measured: Baseline through study completion, an average of 2 years

  16. Total annualized number of factor infusions

    Measured: From baseline to 24-month period after product switch (or 24-month period on study for non-switchers)

  17. Annualized bleeding rate

    Measured: From baseline to 24-month period after product switch (or 24-month period on study for non-switchers)

  18. Ratio of annual factor consumption-to-annual factor prescription

    Measured: From baseline to 24-month period after product switch (or 24-month period on study for non-switchers)

  19. Number of infusions required to treat a breakthrough bleed

  20. Incremental factor utilization per joint bleed avoided

    Difference in annualized factor utilization between Fc and regular non-Fc prophylaxis, divided by the difference in annualized joint bleeding rate between the two groups.

    Measured: From baseline to 24-month period after product switch (or 24-month period on study for non-switchers)

  21. Adverse events leading to permanent discontinuation of rFVIIIFc or rFIXFc

    Measured: From baseline to 24-month period after product switch (or 24-month period on study for non-switchers)

  22. Serious adverse events

    Measured: From baseline to 24-month period after product switch (or 24-month period on study for non-switchers)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemophilia A, Congenital and Hemophilia B, Congenital, run by University of British Columbia at 1 site in Canada.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 28 Apr 2021. 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 Canada. 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 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?

Change in the total annualized factor consumption (in units/kilogram/year) (time frame: From baseline to 24-month period on rFVIIIFc or rFIXFc). 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 28 Apr 2021.
