E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language |
|
E.1.1.2 | Therapeutic area | Diseases [C] - Blood and lymphatic diseases [C15] |
MedDRA Classification |
E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The main aim is to assess factor VIII inhibitor development levels for a minimum of 100 treatment days per patient. Each patient will have 4 factor VIII recovery assessments over a period of approximately 12 months. At each recovery assessment the patient will have a factor VIII inhibitor test before being infused with Optivate®. This is to help assess the continued safety of Optivate® by monitoring the potential development of inhibitors. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The study will also assess the efficacy by measuring factor VIII concentration in the blood and tolerability by assessing adverse events recorded during the study.
The recovery assessment will measure the increase in factor VIII concentration in the patient during the first hour following Optivate® infusion. In addition, efficacy will be assessed based on patients diary data e.g. adverse events, number of bleeds, severity, duration etc. This is to help assess the efficacy and tolerability of Optivate® treatment. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Written informed consent or, in the case of children and adolescents (less than 18 years of age) have given written assent (where possible) and whose parent/guardian has given written informed consent.
- Severe haemophilia A (< 1% FVIII:C). Subjects suffering from severe haemophilia A
(< 2%) may be enrolled, but only after approval by BPL. Subjects with a FVII
< 2% may not constitute more than 50% of the total patient population. A separate
statistical evaluation will be conducted for the < 1% and < 2% populations. Basal
FVIII level taken from subject’s lowest level recorded, or the level measured at screening, whichever is lower.
- Previously Treated Patients (PTPs) with > 150 exposure days on prior FVIII therapy (of
which at least the last 50 EDs or 2 years treatment can be confirmed by way of subject
records).
- Immunocompetent subjects with CD4 (cluster differentiation 4) count > 200 /μL.
- Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) negative subjects or a viral load < 200 particles
/μL. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- History of inhibitor development to FVIII or a positive result on the Nijmegen-Bethesda at screening (quantitative result of > 0.6 Bethesda Units [BU]) prior to the administration of Optivate®.
- Known or suspected hypersensitivity to the Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) or its excipients.
- Clinically significant i.e. symptomatic liver disease and/or (historical, within the last 12 months, serum Alanine Aminotransferase [ALT] levels greater than three times the
upper limit of the normal range), symptomatic renal disease and/or (historical, within the last 12 months, serum creatinine > 200mol/L), or coagulopathy other than haemophilia A.
- History of unreliability or non-cooperation (including not being able to complete the study diary).
- Participating in, or have taken part in another trial within the last 30 days. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary outcome is to measure the immunogenicity of Optivate® by monitoring plasma inhibitor levels for at least 100 treatment days for each patient. Inhibitor assessments at each visit will be measured using two methods:
1. Pre-infusion blood samples for FVIII inhibitor screens
2. Quantitative assay called Nijmegen-Bethesda Assay |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Pre-bolus dose at screening, baseline, V2, V3 and V4. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
FVIII Concentration to measure optivate recoveries. |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
At the screening visit, baseline visit and V2, V3 and V4 blood samples will be taken at the following intervals:
Pre-bolus dose
15 minutes post dose
30 minutes post dose
60 minutes post dose |
