Active Comparator: PK substudy
A cohort of 13-18 subjects will be included in the pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation of GreenGene™ F and an approved recombinant Factor VIII product (Refacto AF); a minimum of 13 of these subjects will be re-evaluated at study end (50 exposure day).
|
Biological: GreenGene™ F and an approved recombinant Factor VIII product
one 50 IU/kg, intra-venous infusion over 5 minutes, Infusion rate < 10 mL/min
Other Names:
|
Experimental: Prophylaxis safety and efficacy substudy
Hemostatic efficacy of GreenGene™ F will be assessed by its effectiveness in controlling spontaneous or traumatic bleeding episodes and by the rate of breakthrough bleeding during prophylaxis over ≥ 50 exposure days.
|
Biological: GreenGene™ F
intra-venous infusion, 30 ± 5 IU/kg infusions 3 times per week with dose escalation to 45 ± 5 IU/kg if appropriate, for 50 exposure days
Other Names:
|
Experimental: On-demand safety and efficacy substudy
Hemostatic efficacy of GreenGene™ F will be assessed by its effectiveness in controlling spontaneous or traumatic bleeding episodes and by the rate of breakthrough bleeding in a minimum of 10 on demand treated subjects during 50 exposure days.
|
Biological: GreenGene™ F
intra-venous infusion, On-demand safety and efficacy substudy: minor bleed = 10-20 IU/kg moderate bleed = 15-30 IU/kg major bleed = 30-50 IU/kg Other Names:
|
Experimental: Surgical substudy
Peri-operative hemostatic control of GreenGene™ F in surgery or invasive procedures will be assessed in at least 10 surgeries, some of them major, in at least five subjects
|
Biological: GreenGene™ F
intra venous infusion, Surgical substudy: Minor surgery including tooth extraction = Post in fusion FVIII level of 60-100% of normal. A single bolus infusion (30-50 IU/kg) beginning within one hour of the operation. Optional additional dosing every 12 to 24 hours as needed to control bleeding. Major surgery = Pre- and post infusion FVIII level 80-120% of normal. Preoperative bolus infusion: 40-60 IU/kg. Verified 100% activity prior to surgery. Maintenance bolus infusion (40-60 IU/kg) repeat infusions every 8 to 24 hours, depending on the desired level. Other Names:

Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female subjects age ≥ 12 years at the time of informed consent

- Subjects included in the on-demand treatment cohort must have a verifiable record of at least three bleeding episodes per month on average in the last 6 months prior to enrollment
- Negative assays for FVIII inhibitor at inclusion (<0.6BU Nijmegen assay)
- Negative assays for FVIII inhibitor in subject files (<0.6BU Nijmegen assay) No history of positive inhibitor is allowed
- Normal liver and kidney function.
- Platelet count ≥ 100,000 μL

- Females must not be lactating or pregnant at Screening or Baseline (as documented by a negative beta-human chorionic gonadotropin [ß hCG] test with a minimum sensitivity of 25 IU/L or equivalent units of ß hCG). A separate baseline assessment is required if a negative screening pregnancy test was obtained more than 72 hours before the first dose of study drug
- All females will be considered to be of childbearing potential unless they are postmenopausal (amenorrheic for at least 12 consecutive months, in the appropriate age group and without other known or suspected cause) or have been sterilized surgically (i.e. bilateral tubal ligation, total hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy, all with surgery at least one month before dosing)

Exclusion Criteria:
- Presence at Screening of FVIII inhibitor ≥ 0.6 BU as tested with the Nijmegen modification of the Bethesda assay in either central or local laboratory
- History of FVIII inhibitor of ≥ 0.6 BU as measured using the Nijmegen modification of the Bethesda assay

- Demonstrated an inability to respond to conventional doses of FVIII therapy
- History of incremental recovery of Factor VIII <1.35% per IU/kg infused
