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   43845   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
    The primary objectives of the study were: to evaluate the safety and tolerability of rFIXFc; to evaluate the efficacy of rFIXFc in all treatment arms; to evaluate the effectiveness of prophylaxis over on-demand (episodic) therapy by comparing the annualized number of bleeding episodes between subjects receiving rFIXFc on each prevention (prophylaxis) regimen and subjects receiving rFIXFc on an episodic regimen. The secondary objectives of the study were: to evaluate and assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter estimates of rFIXFc and rFIX (BeneFIX®) at baseline in the Sequential PK subgroup as well as rFIXFc at Week 26 (±1 week); to evaluate subjects' response to treatment; to evaluate rFIXFc consumption.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to evaluations being performed for eligibility. Subjects were given adequate time to review the information in the informed consent form and were allowed to ask, and have answered, questions concerning all portions of the conduct of the study. Through the informed consent process each subject was made aware of the purpose of the study, the procedures, the benefits and risks of the study, the discomforts and the precautions taken. Any side effects or other health issues occurring during the study were followed up by the study doctor. Subjects were able to stop taking part in the study at any time without giving any reason.

    Arm 1: Weekly Prophylaxis
    Arm description
    50 IU/kg rFIXFc via intravenous (IV) injection once every 7 days initially, then at a dose indicated by the subject's baseline PK assessment that ensured a target trough of 1% to 3% above baseline or higher, as clinically indicated. Adjustments to the initial weekly dose of rFIXFc (50 IU/kg) were to be made based on baseline PK assessments, occurrence of spontaneous bleeding episodes, and the trough levels, which were to be monitored at Weeks 4, 16, 26, and 39. Prior to the first dose of rFIXFc, subjects in the Sequential PK subgroup were to receive a single dose of 50 IU/kg BeneFIX administered IV in the clinic, followed by PK sampling. A single dose of 50 IU/kg rFIXFc was administered following a 120-hour washout from BeneFIX, followed by PK sampling for a baseline PK profiling. At Week 26 (±1 week) subjects were to receive a single dose of 50 IU/kg rFIXFc for repeat PK profiling.

    Prior to the first dose of rFIXFc, subjects in the Sequential PK subgroup were to receive a single dose of 50 IU/kg BeneFIX administered IV in the clinic, followed by PK sampling. A single dose of 50 IU/kg rFIXFc was administered following a 120-hour washout from BeneFIX, followed by PK sampling for a baseline PK profiling. At Week 26 (±1 week) subjects were to receive a single dose of 50 IU/kg rFIXFc for repeat PK profiling. All subjects in Arm 1 received 50 IU/kg rFIXFc via intravenous (IV) injection once every 7 days initially, then at a dose indicated by the subject's baseline pharmacokinetic (PK) assessment that ensured a target trough of 1% to 3% above baseline or higher, as clinically indicated. Adjustments to the initial weekly dose of rFIXFc (50 IU/kg) were to be made based on baseline PK assessments, occurrence of spontaneous bleeding episodes, and the trough levels, which were to be monitored at Weeks 4, 16, 26, and 39.

    End point description
    Clinical laboratory evaluations included hematology and blood chemistry. Table does not include laboratory tests evaluated during the surgical/rehabilitation period. Because the perioperative management period represents a unique clinical situation, safety data obtained during the surgical/rehabilitation period for subjects in Arm 4 were included in listings and reviewed separately. Review of the listing was sufficient to assess this endpoint. ULN=upper limit of normal. Safety Analysis Set: subjects who received at least 1 dose of BeneFIX or rFIXFc.

    An inhibitor test result ≥0.6 Bethesda units (BU)/mL, identified and confirmed by re-testing of a second sample obtained within 2 to 4 weeks, was considered positive. Both tests were to be performed using the Nijmegen-modified Bethesda Assay by the central laboratory. The incidence rates along with the 95% confidence interval (CI) were summarized for all titers for subjects with 50 or more exposure days (EDs) to rFIXFc and a valid inhibitor test after the 50th exposure. In addition, the incidence rates for all subjects regardless of their EDs to rFIXFc were also summarized. The 95% CI was calculated using Clopper-Pearson exact method.

    Annualized bleeding episodes = (number of bleeding episodes / number of days in the respective period)*365.25. In Arms 1 and 2, the efficacy period (EP) started with date and time of first prophylactic dose following a completed PK sampling period and ended with last dose administered (for prophylaxis or a bleeding episode). In Arm 3, the EP started following last PK sampling timepoint and ended with either date of last contact or date of last entry into the eDiary, whichever was later. The EP was interrupted for the repeat PK period in Arm 1 (sequential PK subgroup) and for all surgical/rehabilitation periods (for both major and minor surgeries) in all 3 arms. A bleeding episode started from the first sign of a bleed, and ended 72 hours after the last treatment for the bleeding, within which any symptoms of bleeding at the same location, or injections less than or equal to 72 hours apart, were considered the same bleeding episode.

In Arms 1 and 2, the EP started with date and time of first prophylactic dose following a completed PK sampling period and ended with last dose administered (for prophylaxis or a bleeding episode). In Arm 3, the EP started following last PK sampling timepoint and ended with either date of last contact or date of last entry into the eDiary, whichever was later. The EP was interrupted for the repeat PK period in Arm 1 and for all surgical/rehabilitation periods in all 3 arms. A bleeding episode started from the first sign of a bleed, and ended 72 hours after the last treatment for the bleeding, within which any symptoms of bleeding at the same location, or injections less than or equal to 72 hours apart, were considered the same bleeding episode.

Please see the definition of the EP in the Annualized Bleeding Rate Primary Endpoint Description. The EP was interrupted for the repeat PK period in Arm 1 (sequential PK subgroup) and for all surgical/rehabilitation periods (for both major and minor surgeries) in all 3 arms. Please see the definition of a bleeding episode in a previous endpoint (Number of Injections Required for Resolution of a Bleeding Episode). Bleeding episodes that presented in multiple locations are included as a single event in the overall summary for dose administered to resolve that bleeding episode but are included in the individual summaries for each location. Full Analysis Set: subjects who received at least 1 dose of rFIXFc, had a bleeding episode, and had complete information on the dose administered to treat a bleeding episode.

    Hemophilia-Specific Quality of Life Index for Adults (Haem-A-QoL) Questionnaire: Change From Baseline to Week 26
    End point description
    The Haem-A-QoL consists of items pertaining to 10 domains specific to living with hemophilia and was administered to adult subjects (> 17 years). The areas covered by this instrument are: physical health, feeling, view of yourself, sports/leisure, school/work, dealing with hemophilia, and treatment (all 7 domains, during the last month) and future, family planning, and outlook for the future (all 3 domains, recently). Changes from baseline for the Haem-A-QoL questionnaire are summarized by prestudy treatment regimen (pooled for Arms 1 and 2). Lower scores represent better quality of life (QoL); therefore, a negative change from baseline represents improvement during the course of the study. Scores on a scale range between 0 and 100. Full Analysis Set: subjects in the 2 prophylaxis arms (Arms 1 and 2) over 17 years of age who received at least 1 dose of rFIXFc and had an assessment.

    End point description
    Number of subjects with clinically relevant abnormalities or relevant changes from baseline in temperature, pulse (beats per minute [bpm]), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) are presented. Baseline (BL) is defined as the last non-missing evaluable assessment taken prior and closest to the first rFIXFc dose. Because the perioperative management period represents a unique clinical situation, safety data obtained during the surgical/rehabilitation period for subjects in Arm 4 were included in listings and reviewed separately. Review of the listing was sufficient to assess this endpoint. Safety Analysis Set: subjects who received at least 1 dose of BeneFIX or rFIXFc; a table was not generated for subjects in the perioperative management/surgical arm (Arm 4). n=subjects with a baseline and at least 1 post-baseline vital sign assessment.

    Arm 1: Weekly Prophylaxis
    Reporting group description
    50 IU/kg rFIXFc via intravenous (IV) injection once every 7 days initially, then at a dose indicated by the subject's baseline pharmacokinetic (PK) assessment that ensured a target trough of 1% to 3% above baseline or higher, as clinically indicated. Adjustments to the initial weekly dose of rFIXFc (50 IU/kg) were to be made based on baseline PK assessments, occurrence of spontaneous bleeding episodes, and the trough levels, which were to be monitored at Weeks 4, 16, 26, and 39. Prior to the first dose of rFIXFc, subjects in the Sequential PK subgroup were to receive a single dose of 50 IU/kg BeneFIX administered IV in the clinic, followed by PK sampling. A single dose of 50 IU/kg rFIXFc was administered following a 120-hour washout from BeneFIX, followed by PK sampling for a baseline PK profiling. At Week 26 (±1 week) subjects were to receive a single dose of 50 IU/kg rFIXFc for repeat PK profiling.

    Reporting group title
    Arm 2: Individualized Interval Prophylaxis
    Reporting group description
    100 IU/kg rFIXFc via IV injection once every 10 days initially, then at an interval derived from the baseline PK assessment that ensured a target trough of 1% to 3% above baseline or higher, as clinically indicated. Adjustments to the initial 10-day interval were to be made based on baseline PK assessments and trough levels, which were monitored at Weeks 4, 16, 26, and 39.

    Reporting group title
    Arm 3: Episodic (On Demand)
    Reporting group description
    20 to 100 IU/kg rFIXFc via IV injection, or the dose indicated by the subject's baseline PK to target a plasma level of 20% to 100%, as needed for the treatment of mild to severe bleeding episodes

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    16 Feb 2010
    The following primary changes were made: - Additional guidance was provided for adjusting dosing regimens for subjects in Arms 1 and 2 during the period of time between when the first dose was administered and until the PK data became available for guiding further adjustments to the regimen. -Additional guidance was added for those subjects in whom breakthrough bleeding occurred while trough levels remained within the specific 1% to 3% range above baseline. - The Schedule of Events for Arm 4, Surgery, was clarified.
    01 Sep 2010
    The following primary changes were made: - Primary objectives were added to evaluate: -Efficacy in Arm 3 and Arm 4 - Efficacy of prophylaxis over episodic therapy based on the annualized number of bleeding episodes - Language in primary endpoint evaluating the number of breakthrough bleeding episodes annualized over the study period for Arms 1, 2, and 3 was revised. - The secondary endpoints in Arm 4 for response using a 4-point scale, hemostasis maintenance and other parameters were made primary endpoints. - Exploratory endpoints for global hemostasis and health economics were added. - The initial dose for Arm 1 was changed from 40 IU/kg to 50 IU/kg. - All 4-day washout periods were increased to 5 days. - Maximum dose was defined as 100 IU/kg for subjects not undergoing surgery. - PK timepoints were redefined. - Requirements to open Arm 4 to enrollment were changed to 10 subjects, instead of 15, when sufficient PK and efficacy data had been collected from Arms 1, 2, or 3 with no safety concerns. - Additional clarifications were provided, and a more objective definition of major surgery, utilizing more recent publications for definition of target joint and Physician’s Global Assessment, was selected.
    07 Feb 2011
    The following primary changes were made: - Overall study sample size was increased from 75 to 100 subjects to ensure that 50 EDs occurred for at least 70 subjects in Arms 1 and 2. - Washout periods and minimum PK sampling periods were clarified. - Management of subjects who were unable to complete washout and/or blood sampling periods was clarified. - Study procedures were clarified for screening, physical examination, joint assessment, vital signs following dosing in clinic, weight and height measurements, follow-up injections, and the possible need for unscheduled visits. - Definitions of minor and major bleeding episodes and management of bleeding episodes were clarified. - The description and the scale used in the assessments of response to bleeding, the Physician’s Global Assessment, and assessment of response to surgery were revised.
    31 May 2012
    The following primary change was made: - An additional interim analysis was added, to be conducted when 34 subjects had been tested for inhibitor after reaching 50 EDs.
