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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 determine the long-term immunogenicity and tolerability of human-cl rhFVIII in previously treated patients with severe haemophilia A.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, and ICH-GCP, and national regulatory requirements. In- and exclusion criteria were carefully defined in order to protect subjects from contraindications, interactions with other medication and safety factors associated with the investigational medicinal product. Throughout the study safety was assessed, such as occurrence of adverse events, lab values, vital signs and physical examinations. In particular, patients were checked at pre-specified times whether they had developed an inhibitor to factor VIII.

Overall, therefore, 21 patients would theoretically have been eligible for enrolment into GENA-11. Only 3 patients from Bulgaria participated in GENA-11 study.

    Dosage and administration details
    The dosing recommendations in GENA-11 were the same as in its predecessor study GENA-01: • Minor haemorrhage (superficial muscle or soft tissue and oral bleeds): 20–30 IU FVIII/kg BW (body weight) every 12–24 hours until BE is resolved. • Moderate to major haemorrhage (haemorrhage into muscles, into oral cavity; haemarthrosis; known trauma): 30–40 IU FVIII/kg BW. Repeat one dose every 12–24 hours until BE is resolved. • Major to life-threatening BEs (intracranial, intra-abdominal, gastrointestinal or intrathoracic bleeds, central nervous system bleeds, bleeding in retropharyngeal spaces or iliopsoas sheath, eyes/retina, fractures or head trauma): initial dose of 50–60 IUFVIII/kg BW. Repeat dose of 20–25 IU FVIII/kg BW every 8–12 hours until BE is resolved.

    The study population for which data was summarised is the BLEED population, i.e., the population of patients with documented BEs for which any amount of treatment with Human-cl rhFVIII was documented. The BLEED population in this study is identical with the safety (SAF) population, i.e., the population of patients who received at least one dose of Human-cl rhFVIII and were evaluated for AEs.

    Primary: Long-term immunogenicity of Human-cl rhFVIII

    End point title
    Long-term immunogenicity of Human-cl rhFVIII [1]
    End point description
    The long-term immunogenicity of Human-cl rhFVIII was to be assessed by determining FVIII inhibitor activity at 3-monthly intervals until study completion by the modified Bethesda assay (Nijmegen modification) using congenital FVIII-deficient human plasma spiked with Human-cl rhFVIII as a test base; anti-rhFVIII antibodies were to be measured at the same time points. An inhibitor test was considered negative if the titer was <0.6 BU.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: The original Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) prepared for this study was amended once in response to the study being terminated prematurely. Because most of the originally planned statistical analyses would not have been significant with only 3 enrolled patients, the results of this study are summarised descriptively only.

    AE were reported throughout the whole study. 24 hours SAE reporting requirement. Waiver from 24 hours SAE reporting: hospitalization for the treatment of a (disease-related) BE assessed as unrelated to IMP treatment.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    All SAEs, whether suspected to be related to study treatment or not, are reported by telephone, fax or e-mail immediately to the responsible Clinical Project Manager, study monitor, or to the responsible local CRO. AEs were evaluated at each patient visit.
