Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective is to evaluate the PK and incremental recovery of ReFacto AF in pediatric subjects less than 12 years of age after a single exposure to ReFacto AF. The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy of ReFacto AF in pediatric subjects less than 12 years of age, including the frequency of less-than-expected therapeutic effect (LETE) and to evaluate the safety of ReFacto AF in these subjects.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and in compliance with all International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were followed.

    Number of On-Demand ReFacto AF Infusions to Treat a New Bleed: All Subjects

    The infusion log diary case report form (CRF) was used to determine the number of on-demand (administration of an unscheduled bolus infusion of Refacto-AF to stop bleeding) ReFacto AF infusions administered to treat a new bleed. This was calculated by adding the initial for a new bleed (on-demand) infusion to any subsequent (on-demand) infusions for the same "previously treated bleed" (same bleed with same start date/time). Efficacy analysis population included all enrolled subjects who received at least 1 dose of ReFacto AF. Here, "number of subjects analysed" signifies subjects who were evaluable for this endpoint.

The infusion log diary CRF was used to determine the number of infusions administered to treat a new bleed counting only those infusions which were administered less than or equal to (<=) 48 hours after an infusion marked as “prophylaxis” (which had no associated bleed).

Data was reported separately for subjects classified at baseline as following non-prophylaxis regimen (for example: on-demand regimen, preventive, or not specified), and subjects classified at baseline following a primary or secondary prophylaxis regimen. Efficacy analysis population included all enrolled subjects who received at least 1 dose of ReFacto AF. Here, "n" signifies subjects who were evaluable for each specified baseline category.

    Total factor VIII consumption for each subject was calculated by sum of the total amount of ReFacto AF (in IU) infused for each ReFacto AF infusion (recorded in the infusion log diary CRF) divided by the weight (kg) recorded at the previous visit for each subject. Data was reported separately for subjects classified at baseline as following non-prophylaxis regimen (for example: on-demand regimen, preventive, or not specified), and subjects classified at baseline following a primary or secondary prophylaxis regimen.

    LETE in the prophylaxis setting occurred if there was a spontaneous bleed within 48 hours(<=48 hours) after a regularly scheduled prophylactic dose of ReFacto AF(which was not used to treat a bleed) in the absence of confounding factors. Therefore, LETE in the prophylaxis setting is the occurrence of a bleed. Confounding factors include:Known presence or subsequent identification of a FVIII inhibitor, known inadequate prophylactic dose, known lack of adherence to the prescribed prophylaxis regimen, bleed occurs in a target joint identified at the start of the study, known compromised ReFacto AF, faulty administration of ReFacto AF, an underlying, predisposing condition responsible for the bleed in the opinion of the investigator (e.g., kidney stones or use of medications known to impair platelet function, such as aspirin or NSAIDs) or traumatic injury responsible for bleeding.

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who received study treatment without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death, initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization, life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying), persistent or significant disability or incapacity, congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to 30 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. AEs included both serious and non-serious adverse events.
