About this study

Official title: Individualizing Bypassing Agent Therapy Utilizing TEG in Hemophilia Patients with Inhibitors

This pilot study will investigate the use of thromboelastograph (TEG) to determine the primary bypassing agent for the management of bleeding in children and adults severe hemophilia A patients with inhibitors.

The study will evaluate the TEG profile for each of the available bypassing agents (FEIBA and rFVIIa) in each participating patient, which will then determine which agent provides the most robust clot formation as measured by the TEG. This study will consist of screening visit and 2-4 pharmacokinetic studies to determine the "best" bypassing agent based on the TEG results. Patients will then be assigned that bypassing agent and dose for the treatment of their bleeding episodes (Prophylaxis or On-demand). Each patient will be then followed for a period of 6 months to monitor short-term safety of those patients whose bypassing agent was modified.

Read the detailed description

Currently, there are no laboratory assays that can assess the pharmaceutical activity of the available agents known collectively as bypassing agents, which negatively impacts the treating physician's ability to manage these patients, leaving decisions on the dosing regimen to trial and error. Both agents, FEIBA and recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa), are approved for the treatment of bleeding in inhibitor patients with recommended dosing regimens that are based on clinical trials. However, a significant amount of "experimenting" with other dosing regimens is used by physicians and patients.

The goal of this project is to demonstrate that TEG is an excellent biomarker for predicting, managing and individualizing the treatment with FEIBA and rFVIIa of this rare and difficult to treat patient population.

What participants receive

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

  • Thromboelastography-Guided Treatment RegimenOther

    The thromboelastograph (TEG) will be used to determine the "best" bypassing agent for the management of subjects with severe hemophilia A with inhibitors. Patients will be assigned that bypassing agent and dose for the treatment of their bleeding episodes and subsequently will be followed for a period of 6 months to determine their annual bleeding rate.

What is being measured

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

  1. Elastic properties of a forming clot using thromboelastograph to determine best bypassing agent

    This study will assess the feasibility of TEG-guided individualization of bypassing agent treatment of bleeding for severe hemophilia A patients with inhibitors.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Thrombin generation assay measuring the formation of thrombin during clot formation

    Thrombin generation assays will be performed to provide additional evidence supporting the TEG-guided individualization of bypassing agent treatment.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events

    The study will monitor short-term safety of patients whose bypassing agent treatment has been modified.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Thromboelastography-Guided Treatment Regimen in people with Hemophilia a with Inhibitors, run by Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

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 3 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Elastic properties of a forming clot using thromboelastograph to determine best bypassing agent (time frame: 6 months). 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 26 Sep 2024.
