E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Safety Objectives:
•To demonstrate safety of GreenGene™ F with respect to inhibitor development (neutralizing anti-Factor VIII antibodies) over a minimum of additional 50 exposure days (primary objective)
•To assess the long-term (additional 50 exposure days) safety of GreenGene™ F.
Efficacy Objectives:
•To evaluate the hemostatic efficacy of GreenGene™ F in prophylaxis (rate of breakthrough bleeding) and on demand treatment in the management of acute bleeding events
•To evaluate the physicians and subjects rating of response for on demand treatment of bleeding episodes
|

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1.Subjects must have participated in the “GreenGene™ F_P3”, (with Eudra CT number 2012-001445-40) or a pediatric study with GreenGene™ F
2.Have ≥ 50 previous exposure days to GreenGene™ F, as documented in the subject’s medical records.
3.Negative assays for FVIII inhibitor at inclusion (<0.6BU Nijmegen assay), i.e. at the end of study “GreenGene™ F_P3” for patients entering into this extension study immediately after finishing the previous phase III study.
4.Normal liver and kidney function
5.Platelet count ≥ 100,000 μL
6.Normal prothrombin time or International Normalized Ratio (INR) < 1.5

11.Females must not be lactating or pregnant at Screening or Baseline (as documented by a negative beta-human chorionic gonadotropin [ß hCG] test with a minimum sensitivity of 25 IU/L or equivalent units of ß hCG). A separate baseline assessment is required if a negative screening pregnancy test was obtained more than 72 hours before the first dose of study drug
12.All females will be considered to be of childbearing potential unless they are postmenopausal (amenorrhoic for at least 12 consecutive months, in the appropriate age group and without other known or suspected cause) or have been sterilized surgically (i.e. bilateral tubal ligation, total hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy, all with surgery at least one month before dosing)
13.Willing and able to comply with all aspects of the protocol |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1.Presence at Screening of FVIII inhibitor ≥ 0.6 BU as tested with the Nijmegen modification of the Bethesda assay.
2.Laboratory or clinical evidence of portal vein hypertension including, but not limited to, an INR > 1.4, the presence of splenomegaly and/or spider angiomata of physical examination and/or a history of esophageal hemorrhage or documented esophageal varices
3.Uncontrolled hypertension (diastolic blood pressure >100 mm Hg)
4.Hemoglobin < 10 g/dL
5.Severe renal dysfunction (creatinine > 2x upper limit of normal [ULN], total bilirubin > 2x the ULN)
6.Liver disease (alanine aminotransferase [ALT], aspartate aminotransferase [AST] > 3x the ULN)
7.History of diabetes or other metabolic disease
8.History of hypersensitivity or serious adverse reaction to recombinant or plasma-derived FVIII concentrates
9.History of pretreatment prior to the administration of FVIII products (e.g., antihistamines)
10.Regular use of antifibrinolytics or medications affecting platelet function
11.Hypersensitivity to hamster-or mouse derived proteins
12.Blood transfusions within 30 days of enrollment into the study
13.Current participation in another investigational drug or device study, or participated in a clinical study involving an investigational drug or device within 30 days of enrollment into the study
14.Unable or unwilling to cooperate with study procedures
15.Females who are pregnant (positive β-hCG test) or breastfeeding |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Efficacy endpoints for this study include:
•The consumption of Factor VIII, expressed as number of infusions and IU/kg per month and per year, as well as
•IU/kg per event (prophylaxis, on-demand, and surgery).
•Frequency of breakthrough bleedings;
•Physicians and subject evaluation of efficacy (on-demand and surgery);
•Number of infusions of study drug per bleeding episode
•Unit of FVIII per treatment (prophylaxis)
Safety endpoints: All safety analyses will be summarized and presented for the Safety Analysis Set. The safety of GreenGene™ F will be assessed by monitoring the rate of inhibitor incidence, adverse effects and changes in clinical laboratory parameters |
