What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Serious Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Related to RIXUBIS

    TEAE was defined as any event not presented prior to the initiation of the treatments or any event already present that worsens in either intensity or frequency following exposure to the treatments. A SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose met one or more of the following criteria: outcome was fatal/resulted in death, life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or resulted in prolongation of an existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, was a medically important event that was not immediately life-threatening or resulted in death or required hospitalization but jeopardize the participant or required medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the above outcomes. Relatedness to study drug was based on physician discretion. Number of participants with serious TEAEs related to RIXUBIS were reported.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to End of treatment (EOT) (up to 6 months)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of Participants With TEAEs Related to RIXUBIS

    TEAE was defined as any event not presented prior to the initiation of the treatments or any event already present that worsens in either intensity or frequency following exposure to the treatments. Relatedness to study drug was based on physician discretion. Number of participants with TEAEs related to RIXUBIS were reported.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to EOT (up to 6 months)

  2. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Laboratory Abnormalities

    Clinical laboratory evaluations included clinical chemistry (biochemistry and endocrinology), hematology and urinalysis. Any change in clinical laboratory abnormalities which were deemed clinically significant by the investigator were recorded as TEAEs (defined as any event not presented prior to the initiation of the treatments or any event already present that worsens in either intensity or frequency following exposure to the treatments).

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to EOT (up to 6 months)

  3. Number of Participants Who Developed Binding Antibodies (Immunoglobulin G [IgG] and Immunoglobulin M [IgM]) to Factor IX (FIX)

    Binding antibodies (IgG and IgM) to FIX was determined using validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) employing polyclonal anti-human IgG and IgM antibodies. Number of participants who developed binding antibodies (IgG and IgM) combined data to FIX were reported.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to EOT (up to 6 months)

  4. Number of Participants Who Developed Binding Antibodies to Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) Proteins and rFurin

    Citrated plasma was assayed for the presence of antibodies to CHO protein and rFurin, derived from cultures of un-transfected cells. Testing for binding anti-CHO protein and rFurin antibodies was done on citrate-anti-coagulated plasma using an ELISA employing polyclonal anti-human IgG antibodies. Number of participants who developed binding antibodies to CHO proteins and rFurin were reported.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to EOT (up to 6 months)

  5. Annualized Bleeding Rate (ABR) With Prophylactic Use of RIXUBIS

    The ABR was defined as the total number of unique bleeding episodes by participants reported during RIXUBIS treatment for prophylaxis, divided by the RIXUBIS treatment duration for prophylaxis and multiplied by 365.25. A bleeding episode was defined as subjective (pain consistent with a joint bleed) or objective evidence of bleeding which may or may not be associated to a trauma event (spontaneous bleeding). Bleeding occurring at multiple locations related to the same injury (e.g., knee and ankle bleed following a fall) was counted as a single bleeding episode.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to EOT (up to 6 months)

  6. Rate of Success of RIXUBIS for Treatment of Bleeding Episodes

    The success of RIXUBIS for treatment of bleeding episodes was defined by grouping the categories of "Excellent"/"Good" of the corresponding hemostatic effectiveness ratings of a 4 point Likert scale ("Excellent", "Good", "Moderate" and "None") by the participants/legally authorized representative (LAR) (participants less than (<) 12 years: LAR, participants greater than or equal to (>=) 12 years: self-assessment) for treatments given at home, or by the investigator for treatments given in the hospital/clinic. The rate of success of RIXUBIS for treatment of bleeding episodes was defined as: The number of successful bleeding episodes/total number of bleeding episodes where the treatment of the bleeding was rated *100. Rate of success of RIXUBIS for treatment of bleeding episodes, 95% confidence interval (CIs) was calculated using the exact Binomial CI (Clopper-Pearson method).

    Measured: From screening up to EOT (up to 6 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing RIXUBIS: On-Demand and RIXUBIS: Prophylaxis in people with Hemophilia B, run by Baxalta now part of Shire at 1 site in India.

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 13 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 30 Aug 2022. 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 India. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 30 Aug 2022). 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?

Number of Participants With Serious Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Related to RIXUBIS (time frame: From start of study drug administration up to End of treatment (EOT) (up to 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 30 Aug 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 29 Oct 2026.
