Brief Summary:
To compare the number of breakthrough bleeds under tailored prophylaxis with Human cell line recombinant factor FVIII (Human-cl rhFVIII) with the historical bleeding rate from patients who received Human-cl rhFVIII as on demand treatment.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Severe Haemophilia A Biological: Human-cl rhFVIII Phase 3

Detailed Description:
There were 3 phases in this study: (1) An initial pharmacokinetic (PK) assessment in which participants received a single infusion of 60±5 IU/kg of Human-cl rhFVIII; blood samples were collected for 72 hours following the infusion. (2) Prophylactic Treatment-Phase I during which participants received infusions of 30-40 IU/kg of human-cl rhFVIII every other day or 3x/week for 1-3 months. (3) Prophylactic Treatment-Phase II during which the dose and dosing interval were determined individually from data gathered in the initial PK assessment. The maximum dosing interval with a dose of ≤ 60-80 IU/kg that maintains a trough level of ≥ 0.01 IU/mL was determined. Participants were treated for 6 months.

Outcome Measures

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Annualized Number of Bleeding Episodes (BE) in Phase II [ Time Frame: Beginning to the end of Phase II (6 months) ]
    The annualized number of total BEs was calculated for each participant as follows: d*y/t, where y = the number of BEs documented in Phase II, t = the number of treatment periods in days, and d = 365.25, the number of days per year. A bleeding episode (BE) was defined as any BE whether treated or not during Phase II of the study; BEs related to surgery were not included. This study was considered as showing efficacy if the annualized number of BEs was reduced by 50% compared to the number of BEs observed in study GENA-01 where patient where severe Hemophilia A patients were treated on-demand (NCT00989196).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Annualized Number of Spontaneous Bleeding Episodes (BE) in Phase II [ Time Frame: Beginning to the end of Phase II (6 months) ]
    The annualized number of spontaneous BEs was calculated for each participant as follows: d*y/t, where y = the number of spontaneous BEs documented in Phase II, t = the number of treatment periods in days, and d = 365.25, the number of days per year. A spontaneous bleeding episode (BE) was defined as a BE whether treated or not during Phase II of the study. BEs related to surgery and BEs due to trauma or due to other causes were not included.

  2. Annualized Number of Bleeding Episodes (BE) in Phase II in Participants With ≤ 2 Treatments/Week [ Time Frame: Beginning to the end of Phase II (6 months) ]
    The annualized number of BEs was calculated for each participant as follows: d*y/t, where y = the number of BEs documented in Phase II, t = the number of treatment periods in days, and d = 365.25, the number of days per year. A bleeding episode (BE) was defined as a BE whether treated or not during Phase II of the study. BEs related to surgery were not included.

  3. Median Dosing Interval During Individually Tailored Prophylaxis [ Time Frame: Beginning to the end of Phase II (6 months) ]
    The median time between 2 prophylactic doses of Human-cl rhFVIII in the prophylactic treatment phase II were determined per patient

  4. Dosage Per Week in Phase II [ Time Frame: Beginning to the end of Phase II (6 months) ]
    The mean dosage per week during Phase II of the study are reported.
