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   43843   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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
    To demonstrate that 2-3 times per week prophylaxis therapy with BAY81-8973 is superior to on-demand therapy with BAY81-8973 in subjects with severe Hemophilia A. The hypothesis was that prophylaxis will result in fewer bleeds than on-demand treatment.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The conduct of this clinical study met all local legal and regulatory requirements. The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization guideline E6: Good Clinical Practice. Before entering the study, the informed consent form was read by and explained to all subjects and/or their legally authorized representatives. Participating subjects and/or their legally authorized representatives signed informed consent form and could withdraw from the study at any time without any disadvantage and without having to provide a reason for this decision. Only investigators qualified by training and experience were selected as appropriate experts to investigate the study drug.

    Notes
    [1] - Period 1 is not the baseline period. It is expected that period 1 will be the baseline period.
    Justification: All randomized subjects were included in the intervention periods but the baseline characteristics were recorded only for treated subjects as planned. Hence, a baseline period consisting of only treated subjects was created after the intervention periods.

    Notes
    [2] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: Not all enrolled subjects were treated with study drugs. As baseline included only treated subjects, the worldwide number enrolled in the trial differs with the number of subjects reported in the baseline period.

    Notes
    [1] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: Low and high dose prophylaxis arms of the baseline period and both potencies combined as planned for the statistical analysis to achieve intended sample size. Hence, the end point is reporting statistics for a combined arm (created as a subject analysis set) instead of the individual arms in the baseline period.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    23 Mar 2010
    1. Clarifications regarding the surgery indication, such as definitions of the surgery types, safety data required prior to surgery, and evaluation times of the surgery outcome data during the study, were given as requested by the regulatory agencies 2. The regulatory agencies recommended studying two different dosing regimens to arrive at the optimal dose of BAY81-8973. Consistent with this recommendation, the study design was revised from prophylaxis (20-40 IU/kg BAY81-8973 administered 2-3 times/week) versus on-demand treatment to prophylaxis using 2 different dosing regimens (BAY81-8973 high-dose [30-40 IU 3 times/week] or low-dose [20-30 IU 2 times/week]) versus on-demand treatment 3. Addition of a secondary objective of demonstration of non-inferiority of BAY81-8973 dose determined by CS/EP versus BAY81-8973 dose determined by CS/ADJ as measured by the proportion of bleeds controlled by 1 or 2 infusions (among all bleeds) in subjects treated on-demand
    10 Jun 2010
    1. The definition of severe hemophilia A in the inclusion criteria was clarified and expanded to allow subjects with previous medical history documentation of < 1% FVIII:C, determined by one-stage clotting assay, included in the trial without further testing/confirmation of severe hemophilia A, if the screening result turned out to be equal to or higher than 1%. The rationale for the change was to allow subjects with previously documented severe hemophilia A enrolled into the trial without the delay of having another one-stage clotting assay performed, since severity is not known to change during the course of the disease. The documented historical evidence of severe hemophilia A could be either from a previous Bayer hemophilia clinical trial, or from a previously performed one-stage clotting assay from a certified laboratory 2. The number of surgeries was increased from ≥10 to ≥15, and the classification of surgery types was clarified to enable a more thorough evaluation of the safety and efficacy of BAY 81-8973 in the surgical setting. The amendment further specified that ≥8 surgeries were major surgical procedures 3. To further ensure subject safety, the requirement was added that BAY 81-8973 was not to be supplied for use in the surgical setting until its hemostatic activity had been assessed in at least 20 bleeding events 4. To be consistent with the sister protocol (Study 12954; EudraCT Number: 2009-012149-43), the following exclusion criterion was added: “Any subject who cannot forego at least 3 days without receiving FVIII for washout purposes.” 5. The dosage range for prophylaxis treatment was clarified as occurring in 5 IU/kg increments over the range of 20-40 IU/kg 2-3 times per week (ie, low dose: 20, 25, or 30 IU/kg, administered 2 times per week; high dose 30, 35, or 40 IU/kg administered 3 times per week)
    15 Mar 2011
    1. For safety reasons, subjects with known hypersensitivity to mouse protein were excluded from participation in the study 2. Primary and secondary study objectives were revised and rearranged to include objectives for results of this study alone, and addendum objectives were added for the pooled results of this study and Study 12954
