Brief Summary:
This is a phase II multicenter open-label, single-arm prospective study to evaluate the efficacy of prophylactic emicizumab administered on a scheduled basis to prevent bleeds in patients with acquired hemophilia A (AHA).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Acquired Hemophilia A Drug: emicizumab Phase 2

Detailed Description:
Patients with AHA who are eligible will receive two loading doses of the study drug, emicizumab (6mg/kg on day 1 and 3 mg/kg on day 2) followed by once weekly subcutaneous emicizumab (1.5 mg/kg). Immunosuppression will be given concurrently as per investigator discretion. The primary endpoint (bleed rate) will be assessed after 12 weeks on study drug. If partial remission of the AHA has not been achieved, an additional 12 weeks of study drug may be given. A historical cohort and a study conducted in parallel in Germany (NCT04188639) will serve as control groups for evaluation of secondary endpoints provided the study cohort are comparable.

Allocation: N/A
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: Emicizumab in Patients With Acquired Hemophilia A: Multicenter, Single-arm, Open-label Clinical Trial
Actual Study Start Date : August 31, 2022
Estimated Primary Completion Date : July 2024
Estimated Study Completion Date : January 2025


Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Experimental-treatment
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 Measures :
  1. Primary Outcome Meassure [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Number of clinically significant bleeds after 12 weeks of study drug (emicizumab)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. Hospitalizations [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Days in hospital during week 12 of emicizumab treatment

  5. 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


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. 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

  2. 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
