About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Concizumab Prophylaxis in Patients With Haemophilia A or B Without Inhibitors

This study will test how well a new medicine called concizumab works in the body of people with haemophilia A or B without inhibitors. The purpose is to show that concizumab can prevent bleeds in the body and is safe to use. Participants who usually only take medicine to treat bleeds (on-demand) will be placed in one of two groups. In one group participants will get study medicine from the start of the study. In the other group participants will continue with their normal medicine and get study medicine after 6 months. Which treatment the participant gets is decided by chance. Participants who usually take medicine to prevent bleeds (prophylaxis treatment) or who are already being treated with concizumab (study medicine) will receive the study medicine from the start of the study. Participants will have to inject themselves with the study medicine 1 time every day under the skin. This can be done at home. The study doctor will hand out the medicine in the form of a pen-injector. The pen-injector will contain the study medicine. The study will last for up to 8 years. The length of time the participant will be in the study depends on when they agreed to take part and when the medicine is available for purchase in their country (or 31 December 2027 at the latest). The time between visits will be approximately 4 weeks for the first 6 to 12 months depending on the group participants are in, and approximately 8 weeks for the rest of the study. If the participant attends extra visits due to the prescription medicine not being available for purchase in their country, these will be 14 weeks apart. Participants will be asked to record information in an electronic diary during the study and may also be asked to wear an activity tracker.

Concizumab

What participants receive

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

  • ConcizumabDrug

    When patients are randomised/allocated to concizumab prophylaxis, they will receive a loading dose of 1.0 mg/kg concizumab at visit 2a (week (Wk) 0) (arm 2, 3 and 4) or visit 9a (Wk 24) (arm 1) followed by an initial daily dose of 0.20 mg/kg concizumab from treatment day 2. Within an initial 5-8-week dose adjustment period on 0.20 mg/kg concizumab, the patients can be increased or decreased in dose to 0.25 mg/kg or 0.15 mg/kg concizumab. A potential dose adjustment will take place at visit 4a.1 (Wk 6) or 9a.3 (Wk 30) and will be based on the concizumab exposure level measured at the previous visit 4a (Wk 6) or 9a.2 (Wk 28). Patients who have concizumab exposure levels of 200-4000 ng/mL will stay at 0.20 mg/kg concizumab. Patients in arm 1 will continue on-demand treatment with their usual replacement therapy until visit 9a (week 24; end of main part). In the extension part, patients in arm 1 will receive daily concizumab subcutaneous injections.

Model description
Patients will be randomised to concizumab PPX/no PPX/ assigned into non-randomised arms, based on treatment before trial. Upon restart, patients randomised to arms 1/2 before pause will enter arm 4. Patients allocated to arms 3 \& 4 before pause will re-enter initially allocated arm. Randomisation into arms 1/2 will be restarted with new patients. Main part is completed when patient completed 24 wks (excluding screening) in arm 1 or 32 wks (excluding screening) in arms 2-4. After main part, patients will have offer to continue in extension (ext.) part and receive treatment with product until concizumab is commercially available in their countries or until 31-Dec-2027 at latest. Patients will be in the extension part for up to 345 weeks (arms 2-4) or up to 353 weeks (arm 1). Patient will receive last dose at home on day prior to visit 26a. Follow-up part will start on visit 26a and lasts for 7 wks and include reporting of bleeding episodes until visit 27a.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Concizumab in people with Haemophilia A Without Inhibitors and Haemophilia B Without Inhibitors, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 113 sites in 33 countries.

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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 113 sites in Japan, United States, Turkey (Türkiye), France, Poland and 28 more countries. 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 31 Oct 2025). 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?

Haemophilia A Participants Without Inhibitors: Rate of Treated Spontaneous and Traumatic Bleeding Episodes (time frame: On demand (arm 1): From week 0 up until start of concizumab treatment (week 24); Concizumab (arm 2): From week 0 up until the confirmatory analyses cut-off). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04082429, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 16 Sep 2026.
