About this study
Official title: Phase 1/2 Study to Assess the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Subcutaneous Injection of OCTA101 in Previously Treated Adult Patients With Severe Hemophilia A
This Phase 1/2 study will be a dose escalation study in adults in 5 cohorts (named cohorts 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6), with the main purpose to assess the safety of subcutaneous injection of OCTA101 (a human-cl rhFVIII and recombinant human von Willebrand Factor fragment dimer) in previously treated adult patients with severe hemophilia A. The study also aims to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) characteristics, dose proportionality, and subcutaneous bioavailability of OCTA101 compared with intravenous administration of Nuwiq (Human-cl rh FVIII), in order to define the prophylactic treatment (dose and injection interval) that would result in protective trough levels of FVIII:C for future Phase 3 studies. Cohorts 1, 2, 3 and 5 will undergo a single injection of OCTA101, with cohorts 1, 2 and 3 proceeding to 3-month daily dosing prophylactic treatment for 3 months by Data Monitoring Committee recommendation. Cohorts 1 and 2 will undergo a further PK at the end of the daily injection period. A further cohort, cohort 6, will have an initial 4 to 6-week run-in treatment period with Nuwiq intravenous prophylaxis followed by 12.5 IU/kg OCTA101 subcutaneous daily prophylaxis for >3 up to 6-7 months.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Patients Experiencing Adverse Events
Measured: Approximately 4 months; up to 11 months for cohort 6
Participants Experiencing Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Pre-defined DLTs for this study are: 1. Severe allergic reactions at least possibly related to study drug. 2. Severe vital organ toxicity at least possibly related to study drug that does not resolve to at least mild severity within 48 to 72 hours. 3. Any treatment-emergent severe toxicity at least possibly related to study drug other than the toxicities referenced in 2) that does not decrease to mild or resolve within 7 days
Measured: Approximately 4 months; up to 11 months for cohort 6
Patients Experiencing Thromboembolic Events
The definition of the cluster thromboembolic events was based on the standardised MedDRA query (SMQ) "Embolic and thrombotic events":
Definition: Thrombotic disorders are diseases characterized by formation of a thrombus that obstructs vascular blood flow locally or detaches and embolizes to occlude blood flow downstream. Embolism is the sudden blocking of a vessel by a clot or foreign material which has been brought to its site of lodgment by the blood current. (Thrombo-)phlebitis is an inflammation of a vein (phlebitis) associated with thrombus formation (thrombosis).
This SMQ includes 3 sub-SMQ:
- Embolic and thrombotic events, venous (SMQ)
- Embolic and thrombotic events, arterial (SMQ)
- Embolic and thrombotic events, vessel type unspecified and mixed arterial and venous (SMQ)
Measured: Approximately 4 months; up to 11 months for cohort 6
Patients Experiencing Local Injection Site Reactions of Any Grade
Investigator (and patient in case of home treatment) assessed local injection reactivity directly after injection and at 15 ± 5 min post-injection as per the ISO10999-10 standard:
0=no skin reactivity;
- mild (subject is aware of the signs/symptoms, but finds it easily tolerated)
- moderate (discomfort enough to cause interference with usual activities)
- severe (subject is incapacitated and unable to work or participate in many or all usual activities).
Measured: Approximately 4 months; up to 11 months for cohort 6. Local injection site reactions were captured throughout the period where OCTA-101 was injected subcutaneously (sc).
Inhibitor Formation to FVIII
Development of an inhibitor was defined as a neutralizing antibody value of greater than or equal to (>=) 0.6 Bethesda units per milliliter (BU/mL) identified and confirmed by a second test on an independent sample. In case of positive inhibitor results, inhibitor retesting using a second, separately drawn sample was to be performed, preferably within 15 days of becoming aware of the positive result. Both tests performed by the central laboratory using Nijmegen-modified Bethesda assay.
Measured: From first injection to 4 months after start of of daily injection (cohorts 1, 2 and 3), 4 weeks after last PK injection (cohort 5), monthly during the daily sc treatment period (cohort 6)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This Phase 1/2 study will be a dose escalation study in adults in 5 cohorts (named cohorts 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6), with the main purpose to assess the safety of subcutaneous injection of OCTA101 (a human-cl rhFVIII and recombinant human von Willebrand Factor fragment dimer) in previously treated adult patients with severe hemophilia A. The study also aims to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) characteristics, dose proportionality, and subcutaneous bioavailability of OCTA101 compared with intravenous administration of Nuwiq (Human-cl rh FVIII), in order to define the prophylactic treatment (dose and injection interval) that would result in protective trough levels of FVIII:C for future Phase 3 studies. Cohorts 1, 2, 3 and 5 will undergo a single injection of OCTA101, with cohorts 1, 2 and 3 proceeding to 3-month daily dosing prophylactic treatment for 3 months by Data Monitoring Committee recommendation. Cohorts 1 and 2 will undergo a further PK at the end of the daily injection period. A further cohort, cohort 6, will have an initial 4 to 6-week run-in treatment period with Nuwiq intravenous prophylaxis followed by 12.5 IU/kg OCTA101 subcutaneous daily prophylaxis for >3 up to 6-7 months.

Primary outcome
Patients Experiencing Adverse Events
Time frame: Approximately 4 months; up to 11 months for cohort 6
Participants Experiencing Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Time frame: Approximately 4 months; up to 11 months for cohort 6
Pre-defined DLTs for this study are: 1. Severe allergic reactions at least possibly related to study drug. 2. Severe vital organ toxicity at least possibly related to study drug that does not resolve to at least mild severity within 48 to 72 hours. 3. Any treatment-emergent severe toxicity at least possibly related to study drug other than the toxicities referenced in 2) that does not decrease to mild or resolve within 7 days
Patients Experiencing Thromboembolic Events
Time frame: Approximately 4 months; up to 11 months for cohort 6
The definition of the cluster thromboembolic events was based on the standardised MedDRA query (SMQ) "Embolic and thrombotic events": Definition: Thrombotic disorders are diseases characterized by formation of a thrombus that obstructs vascular blood flow locally or detaches and embolizes to occlude blood flow downstream. Embolism is the sudden blocking of a vessel by a clot or foreign material which has been brought to its site of lodgment by the blood current. (Thrombo-)phlebitis is an inflammation of a vein (phlebitis) associated with thrombus formation (thrombosis). This SMQ includes 3 sub-SMQ: * Embolic and thrombotic events, venous (SMQ) * Embolic and thrombotic events, arterial (SMQ) * Embolic and thrombotic events, vessel type unspecified and mixed arterial and venous (SMQ)
Patients Experiencing Local Injection Site Reactions of Any Grade
Time frame: Approximately 4 months; up to 11 months for cohort 6. Local injection site reactions were captured throughout the period where OCTA-101 was injected subcutaneously (sc).
Investigator (and patient in case of home treatment) assessed local injection reactivity directly after injection and at 15 ± 5 min post-injection as per the ISO10999-10 standard: 0=no skin reactivity; 1. mild (subject is aware of the signs/symptoms, but finds it easily tolerated) 2. moderate (discomfort enough to cause interference with usual activities) 3. severe (subject is incapacitated and unable to work or participate in many or all usual activities).
Inhibitor Formation to FVIII
Time frame: From first injection to 4 months after start of of daily injection (cohorts 1, 2 and 3), 4 weeks after last PK injection (cohort 5), monthly during the daily sc treatment period (cohort 6)
Development of an inhibitor was defined as a neutralizing antibody value of greater than or equal to (>=) 0.6 Bethesda units per milliliter (BU/mL) identified and confirmed by a second test on an independent sample. In case of positive inhibitor results, inhibitor retesting using a second, separately drawn sample was to be performed, preferably within 15 days of becoming aware of the positive result. Both tests performed by the central laboratory using Nijmegen-modified Bethesda assay.
