  36. Change in Total Scores for Reported Health-related Quality of Life (for Participants): Month 6

    Reported results are baseline (month 0) and change from baseline (at month 6) of end of disease and age specific HRQOL. HRQOL was collected through use of the patient reported outcome (PRO) instruments, HAEMO-QOL (for children (8-12 years)/adolescents (13-16 years)) and HAEM-A-QOL (for adults (>=17 years)).

    Blood samples for the evaluation of incremental recovery of FVIII were taken during a period of 48 hours post-dosing for participants 12 years and older and 24 hours post-dosing for participants below the age of 12 years. The incremental recovery was calculated as (FVIII: coagulant (C) activity measured in plasma 30 minutes after dosing - FVIII:C activity measured in plasma immediately before dosing)/(dose injected at time 0 minute), where the dose was expressed as IU FVIII product per kg body weight.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing turoctocog alfa in people with Congenital Bleeding Disorder and Haemophilia A, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 11 sites in China.

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 6 inclusion and 2 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 27 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in China. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 26 Aug 2019). 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?

Haemostatic Effect of Turoctocog Alfa (Treatment of Bleeds): 6 Months (time frame: Month 0-6). 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 27 Jul 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
