Lead Sponsor:

Baxalta now part of Shire

Conditions:

Hemophilia A or B With Inhibitors

Hemophilia A

Eligibility:

All Genders

4-65 years

Phase:

PHASE3

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study was to determine the efficacy, safety, and health-related quality of life benefits with FEIBA NF prophylactic treatment as compared with on-demand treatment.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Signed and dated informed consent form by the participant or the participant's legally authorized representative
  • The participant is ≥ 4 to ≤ 65 years of age
  • The participant has a Karnofsky performance score of ≥ 60
  • Hemophilia A and B of any severity, with documented history of high-titer inhibitor (\> 5 Bethesda unit (BU)) for at least 12 months; or, if inhibitor titer is ≤ 5 BU, and the participant is refractory with increased dosing of either factor VIII (FVIII) or factor IX (FIX), as demonstrated from the participant's medical history
  • Currently being treated on an on-demand basis for treatment of bleeding episodes
  • Adequate venous access, with or without central venous device
  • ≥ 12 bleeding episodes requiring treatment with by-passing agents in the past 12 months, based on medical history
  • Competent in-home treatment and infusion therapy
  • Currently using bypassing agents (activated prothrombin complex concentrate (APCC) or recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa)) for treatment of bleeding episodes
  • HCV-, either by antibody testing or polymerase chain reaction (PCR); or HCV+ with stable hepatic disease
  • HIV-, or HIV+ with stable disease and CD4 count \> 200 cells/mm3 at screening
  • Female participant of childbearing potential, presents with a negative serum pregnancy test, and agrees to employ adequate birth control measures for the duration of the study

Exclusion

  • Currently receiving immune tolerance induction (ITI)
  • Currently on regular prophylactic therapy to prevent bleeding episodes
  • Clinically symptomatic liver disease (e.g. diagnosis of cirrhosis \[confirmed by liver biopsy\], portal vein hypertension, ascites, prothrombin time (PT) 5 seconds above upper limit of normal)
  • Platelet count \< 100,000/ml
  • Planned elective surgery during participation in this study
  • Participant is currently participating in another clinical study and has received an investigational product or device within 30 days prior to study entry
  • Planned use of pegylated or non-pegylated alpha-interferon with or without ribavirin for HCV infected participants or planned use of a protease inhibitor for HIV infected participants. Participants currently taking any of these medications for a 30-day course are eligible.
  • Clinically significant increase in D-dimer levels from historical baseline and/or associated with chronic liver disease or clinically evident thromboembolic event
  • Known hypersensitivity to anti-inhibitor coagulant complexes (AICCs)
  • Currently treated with a systemic immunomodulating drug
  • Prior history of thromboembolic event: acute myocardial infarction, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism
  • Diagnosis of advanced atherosclerosis, malignancy and/or other diseases that may increase the participant's risk of thromboembolic complications
  • Clinically significant medical, psychiatric, or cognitive illness, or recreational drug/alcohol use that, in the opinion of the investigator, would affect participant safety or compliance
