Trial summary

The study aims to describe physical activity (PA) levels in young people with haemophilia A in Norway compared with non-haemophilia controls, and to identify factors influencing PA. This will be conducted through an observational study measuring PA over 12 weeks. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The HemFitBit-study: Defining Normal Physical Activity in Haemophilia A

The study aims to describe physical activity (PA) levels in young people with haemophilia A in Norway compared with non-haemophilia controls, and to identify factors influencing PA. This will be conducted through an observational study measuring PA over 12 weeks. Forty young people with moderate and severe haemophilia A will be enrolled. PA data will be compared to demographically and seasonally matched non-haemophilia controls. PA will be measured using the activity tracker Fitbit Charge 3. A subgroup of participants will also wear the hip-worn accelerometer ActiGraph GTX+BT for seven consecutive days in order to validate the two devices against each other.

Being tested
PA measurement with Fitbit Charge 3, PA measurement with Fitbit and ActiGraph GT3X

What participants receive

  • PA measurement with Fitbit Charge 3Device

    Measurement of PA with Fitbit for all participants and controls.

  • PA measurement with Fitbit and ActiGraph GT3XDevice

    Measurement of PA with ActiGraph for a subgroup of 20 participants.

What is being measured

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

  1. Physical Activity (PA) volume

    PA volume in different intensities

    Measured: 9 months

  2. Fulfilment of PA recommendations

    Fulfilment of international PA recommendations

    Measured: 9 months

  3. Trend in PA over time

    Trend in PA and sedentary time over the study period

    Measured: 9 months

  4. Physical activity types

    Self reported types of PA

    Measured: 9 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Impact of haemophilia on daily life

    Work and Classroom Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI+CIQ:HS)

    Measured: 9 months

  2. Health Related Quality of Life

    EuroQol 5Domains 3Levels (EQ-5D-3L) Health status is measured in terms of five dimensions (5D); mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. The respondents self-rate their level of severity for each dimension using a three-level scale, and evaluate their overall health status using a Visual analogue scale (VAS) where the bottom rate (0) corresponds to " the worst health you can imagine", and the highest rate (100) corresponds to "the best health you can imagine".

    Measured: 9 months

  3. Joint score

    Hemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS 2.1) The Hemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS) is a validated outcome tool developed for the assessment of joint health in people with hemophilia. The ordinal joint score assesses 9 items in 6 index joints (elbows, knees and ankles). It assesses swelling, duration of swelling, muscle atrophy, crepitus of motion, range of motion (extension and flexion loss), joint pain, strength, and gait. The summation of the 9 HJHS items in 6 index joints provides users with a relative indicator of joint health, with a lower HJHS representing superior joint health.

    Measured: 9 months

  4. Ultrasound joint score

    Hemophilia Early Arthropathy Detection using Ultrasound (HEAD-US) The ultrasound protocal evaluates the six joints most typically affected in PwH: the elbows, knees, and ankles, in one single examination, providing information about synovium, cartilage, and subchondral bone. Scores for each joint can range between 0 and 8, with higher scores indicating more severe abnormalities.

    Measured: 9 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemophilia A Without Inhibitor, run by Oslo University Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

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 1 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 Nov 2020. 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 Norway. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Physical Activity (PA) volume (time frame: 9 months). The study lists 4 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 30 Nov 2020.
