Treatment with emicizumab
|
Drug: emicizumab
This study design uses emicizumab as a prophylaxis treatment to prevent bleeding for all participants, bypassing agents (with the exception of aPCC) and treatment of concomitant diseases will be given as clinically indicated. All eligible subjects with AHA will receive the same study medication consisting of: two loading doses of the emicizumab on day 1 and 2 followed by once weekly subcutaneous emicizumab injections. Immunosuppressive therapy (IST) will be given concurrently as per investigator discretion.

- Primary Outcome Meassure [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]Number of clinically significant bleeds after 12 weeks of study drug (emicizumab)
- Incidence and severity of adverse events [ Time Frame: duration of entire study ]Incidence and severity of adverse events, including thromboembolic events, thrombotic microangiopathy in the 12 weeks after starting emicizumab treatment; mortality and cause of death in the 24 weeks after starting emicizumab treatment.
- Days of treatment with additional hemostatic agent [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]Days of treatment with and total dose of bypassing agents (recombinant factor VIIa, activated prothrombin complex concentrate) or recombinant porcine factor VIII (susoctocag alfa) or other factor VIII concentrates; specifics (drug, amount and timing) of IST started during the 12 weeks of emicizumab prophylaxis
- Remission Rate [ Time Frame: 1 to 24 weeks ]Number of patients achieving partial remission (PR) and complete remission (CR) over 12 and 24 weeks after starting emicizumab prophylaxis
- Hospitalizations [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]Days in hospital during week 12 of emicizumab treatment
- Total dose of additional hemostatic agent [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]Total dose of bypassing agents (recombinant factor VIIa, activated prothrombin complex concentrate) or recombinant porcine factor VIII (susoctocag alfa) or other factor VIII concentrates; specifics (drug, amount and timing) of IST started during the 12 weeks of emicizumab prophylaxis
- Comparison of historic GTH-AH 01/2020 cohort/ Number of clinically significant bleeds [ Time Frame: 12 to 24 weeks ]Number of clinically significant bleeds in the 12 weeks of emicizumab treatment or until achieving partial remission (PR) of AHA, whatever occurs first Incidence and severity of adverse events, thromboembolic events, thrombotic microangiopathy, in 12 weeks of treatment and mortality after 24 weeks Bleeding-free survival until week 12 after starting treatment
- Comparison to a parallel German study cohort/ Number of clinically significant bleeds [ Time Frame: 12 to 24 weeks ]Number of clinically significant bleeds per patient-week until death or week 12 after starting emicizumab treatment, whatever occurs first Incidence and severity of adverse events, thromboembolic events, in the 12 weeks of emicizumab treatment and mortality after 24 weeks Bleeding-free survival until week 12 of emicizumab treatment
