About this study

Official title: A Prospective and Retrospective Interventional Study on the Bone-health Effectiveness of Applying Recombinant Factor VIII Fc (rFVIIIFc) to Patients With Hemophilia A (Prototype A)

Study Objectives*

  1. Provide a systematic evaluation of the treatment outcomes in patients with hemophilia A
  2. Emphasize the importance and clinical benefits of rFVIII-Fc in joint and bone health.
  3. Compare the clinical outcomes from 1 year before and after switching to EHL.
  4. Exploratory: Identify biomarkers that could provide more useful and convenient evaluations of joint and bone health. (Time-saving and easy to monitor)
Read the detailed description

In this study, we would like to focus on the evaluation of joint and bone health in persons with severe hemophilia A (PwHA) treated with rFVIIIFc prophylaxis. We also aim to identify potential biomarkers for assessing the joint and bone health of PwHA. Since the joint and bone health examinations are time-consuming, expensive, and require special equipment, the patients could only receive the examinations annually to realize the status of their joint health. The biomarkers testing will provide a more convenient and time-saving option on the joint and bone health evaluation for PwHA. Therefore, surrogate of biochemical marker(s) to represent the joint and BMD progression is an unmet need for clinical practice. Investigating different biomarkers and combining them with the joint and BMD results to provide a systematic approach for elucidating the treatment outcomes of PwHA treated with rFVIIIFc is major goal of this study.

Being tested
serum biomarker.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Severe Hemophilia A Without Inhibitor, run by Tri-Service General Hospital (TSGH) at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Apr 2024. 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 Taiwan. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Yeu-Chin Chen ((+886)2-87923311 ext. 13654, yeuchin99@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Systematic joint and bone health assessments before and after enrollment (time frame: up to 5 years). 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 10 Apr 2024.
