About this study

This is a randomized, prospective, multicenter study to examine whether or not the current recommended factor dosing strategy - i.e., dosing by actual body weight - in overweight and obese patients with Hemophilia A may deliver excessive clotting factor to achieve the desired result of bleeding prevention and cessation. This study also examines ways to prevent delivering excessive factor by using a patient's ideal body weight as a new dosing strategy compared to the current dosing strategy. The hypothesis being tested is that factor dosing based on ideal body weight will result in protective factor levels.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, prospective, multicenter, open-label, crossover study to examine whether or not the current recommended factor dosing strategy, i.e., dosing by actual body weight in overweight and obese patients, may deliver more clotting factor than necessary to cause bleeding to stop in participants with Hemophilia A who use Factor VIII (FVIII). This study also examines ways to prevent delivering too much factor by using a participant's ideal body weight as a new dosing strategy compared to the current dosing strategy. The hypothesis being tested is that factor dosing based on ideal body weight will result in hemostatic factor levels.

The study will be conducted at the Washington Center for Bleeding Disorders (WCBD) at Bloodworks Northwest, Oregon Health \& Science University (OHSU), Seattle Children's Hospital (SCH), and Providence Sacred Heart Children's Hospital (SH). Cumulatively across the four sites, up to 20 participants will be enrolled. Randomization will be performed centrally at WCBD.

Participants will provide their own factor. Prior to the first study-related dose, participants will stop taking any FVIII products for either 48 hours if currently using a short-acting FVIII product or 72 hours for a long acting FVIII product. Factor levels will be measured immediately before and at multiple points after two different factor doses. Subjects will be randomized to start their dosage based either on actual body weight or ideal body weight first and then crossover to receive dosage based on the other category.

What participants receive

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

  • Ideal Body Weight FirstOther

    Randomized to receive 50 U/kg (+/- 20%) of the factor product participants routinely use based on ideal body weight. For participants age 12-19, ideal weight is calculated using the McLaren method. For participants age 20 and over, ideal weight is calculated using the following equation: [50kg + (2.3kg*every inch over 5 feet)].

  • Actual Body Weight FirstOther

    Randomized to receive 50 U/kg (+/- 20%) of the factor product participants routinely use based on actual body weight.

What is being measured

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

  1. Recovery

    Compare the recovery with FVIII between doses calculated on actual body weight versus ideal body weight in subjects with Hemophilia A

    Measured: Change from baseline at up to two months

  2. Underdosing

    Determine the likelihood of underdosing when using ideal body weight

    Measured: Change from baseline at up to two months

  3. Overdosing

    Determine the likelihood of overdosing when using actual body weight

    Measured: Change from baseline at up to two months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Effect of half-life

    Determine the effect on half-life of these dosing strategies

    Measured: Change from baseline at up to two months

  2. Effect on hemophilia severity

    Determine the effect of pharmacokinetic differences on hemophilia severity

    Measured: Change from baseline at 20-40 minutes, 5-7 hours, 20-26 hours, and 44-50 hours for both half-life and extended half-life and also at 69-75 hours, and 93-99 hours for extended half-life

  3. Regular half-life vs. extended half-life Regular half-life vs. extended half-life

    Determine differences in participants receiving regular half-life versus extended half-life products

    Measured: Change from baseline at up to two months

  4. Overweight vs. obese

    Determine the differences, if any, between overweight and obese participants

    Measured: Change from baseline at up to two months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ideal Body Weight First and Actual Body Weight First in people with Hemophilia A, run by Bloodworks at 4 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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Heidi Thielmann, PhD (206-689-6234, hthielmann@bloodworksnw.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Recovery (time frame: Change from baseline at up to two months). The study lists 3 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 18 Sep 2017.
