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   44293   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7351   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 evaluate the safety of Recombinant Coagulation Factor VIII Fc Fusion Protein (rFVIIIFc) in previously untreated patients (PUPs) with severe hemophilia A.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted by investigators experienced in the treatment of pediatric patients. The parent(s) or guardian(s) as well as the children were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time. In addition to the consent form for the parent(s)/guardian(s), an assent form in child-appropriate language was provided and explained to the child. Repeated invasive procedures were minimized. The number of blood samples as well as the amount of blood drawn were adjusted according to age and weight. A topical anesthesia may have been used to minimize distress and discomfort.

    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: Baseline data was reported for safety analysis set which was less than all enrolled set. Period 2 shows the disposition of safety analysis set.
    [3] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.
    Justification: Subjects could be treated in more than one regimen and were counted in all categories wherever applicable.
    [4] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    All Adverse Events (AEs) were collected from signature of the informed consent form up to end of the study (up to 3 years) regardless of seriousness or relationship to investigational product.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    Reported AE are treatment-emergent AE i.e. AE that was present prior to receiving first injection of rFVIIIFc and subsequently worsened in severity, or was not present prior to receiving first injection but subsequently appeared before last visit/follow-up call, whichever came later. Analysis performed on safety analysis set.

    Recombinant Coagulation Factor VIII Fc Fusion Protein
    Reporting group description
    		 Subjects were to receive rFVIIIFc as follows -PR (Prophylaxis regimen): rFVIIIFc 25-80 international units per kilogram (IU/kg), weekly until subject reached >= 50 exposure days (ED: 24-hour period in which >=1 injection/dose of rFVIIIFc was given), or study withdrawal/end of study. Adjustments to dose/dosing interval was done as needed by investigator; Treatment with an optional ER (Episodic regimen) can be initiated before PR at investigators discretion; ITI: rFVIIIFc 200 IU/kg, daily for subjects who, after exposure to rFVIIIFc, had positive high titre inhibitor (>=5.00 Bethesda Units per milliliter [BU/mL]) or positive low titre inhibitor (>=0.60 and <5.00 BU/mL) and had poorly controlled bleeding despite increased rFVIIIFc doses, or required bypassing agent to treat bleeding.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)
    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    06 Apr 2015
    The primary reason for this amendment was to change the cut-off age for the study from <18 years old to <6 years old to align with other studies focusing on previously untreated pediatric subjects.
    22 Jul 2016
    The primary reason for this amendment was to add provisions requested by regulatory authorities including revision of definitions of ITI therapy outcomes; addition of a tapering regimen and a monitoring period after ITI; replacement of the exclusion criterion related to hypersensitivity to IV immunoglobulin (IVIG) administration, with an exclusion criterion related to hypersensitivity to FVIIIFc administration; addition of data collection for concomitant medications administered to breastfeeding mothers of subjects; justification of collection of race and ethnicity data.
    22 Sep 2016
    The primary reason for this amendment was to correct outdated information regarding the enrollment criteria that was inadvertently left in the protocol. These changes included: the collection of AEs was removed from the screening period and subjects awaiting ITI were asked to follow the Prophylaxis Regimen rather than the Episodic Regimen.
    24 Feb 2017
    The primary reason for this amendment was to incorporate a change in responsibility and obligations of the study sponsor (according to Directive 2001/20/EC as well as International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) Guideline on Good Clinical Practice (GCP) E6[RI]). Bioverativ Therapeutics Inc took over the responsibility and obligations of the study sponsor from Biogen Idec Research Limited (UK) or Biogen MA Inc (US) or Biogen Australia Pty Ltd (Australia).
