E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the efficacy of 2 separate dose regimens (75 µg/kg and 225 µg/kg) of LR769 for the treatment of bleeding episodes in hemophilia A or B pediatric patients from birth to <12 years old with inhibitors to factor VIII or IX
To assess the safety of LR769. This includes the immunogenic potential of the drug product |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess the PK of LR769 in hemophilia A or B pediatric patients from birth to <12 years old,with inhibitors to factor VIII or IX, without a current bleeding episode |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. be male with a diagnosis of congenital hemophilia A or B of any severity
2. have one of the following:
a. a positive inhibitor test BU ≥5, OR
b. a BU<5 but expected to have a high anamnestic response to FVIII or FIX, as demonstrated from the patient’s medical history, precluding the use of factor VIII or IX products to treat bleeding episodes, OR
c. a BU<5 but expected to be refractory to increased dosing of FVIII or FIX, as demonstrated from the patient’s medical history, precluding the use of factor VIII or IX products to treat bleeding episodes
3. be aged from birth to <12 years of age
4. have experienced at least 3 bleeding episodes of any severity in the past 6 months; if < 6 months old, have experienced at least 3 bleeding episodes since birth
5. parents or legal guardians must be capable of understanding and willing to comply with the conditions of the protocol
6. parents or legal guardians must have read, understood and provided written informed consent |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. have any coagulation disorder other than hemophilia A or B
2. be immunosuppressed (i.e., the patient should not be receiving systemic immunosuppressive medication, CD4 counts at screening should be >200/µl)
3. have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to rabbits
4. have platelet count <100,000/μL
5. have had a major surgical procedure (e.g. orthopedic, abdominal) within 1 month prior to first administration of the study drug in this study
6. have received an investigational drug within 30 days of the first study drug administration, or is expected to receive such drug during participation in this study
7. have a clinically relevant hepatic (AST and/or ALT >3 times ULN) and/or renal impairment (creatinine >2 times ULN)
8. have an active malignancy (those with non-melanoma skin cancer are allowed)
9. have any life-threatening disease or other disease or condition which, in the investigator’s judgment, could imply a potential hazard to the patient, or interfere with the trial participation or trial outcome (e.g., a history of non-responsiveness to bypassing products or thromboembolic disease)
10. known or suspected hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of its excipients |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary efficacy endpoint is defined as successful treatment of a bleeding episode at 12 hours after first administration of the study drug. The following are clarification definitions to satisfy regulatory requirements in multiple regions (i.e., the FDA and the EMA). Definition of the primary efficacy endpoint for the FDA: the successful treatment of a bleeding episode at 12 hours after first administration of the study drug. For primary efficacy endpoint for the FDA only treatment of mild/moderate bleeding episodes are taken into account. Efficacy in severe bleeding episodes will be described separately.
For primary efficacy endpoint for the FDA, successful treatment of a bleeding episode is defined as a combination of the following:
• Good or Excellent response noted by patient/parent guardian, depending on patient’s age and maturity
• Study drug treatment: No further treatment with study drug beyond timepoint for this bleeding episode where a Good or Excellent response was noted
• No other haemostatic treatment needed for this bleeding episode
• No administration of blood products indicating continuation of bleeding beyond timepoint where a Good or Excellent response for this bleeding episode was noted
• No increase of pain beyond timepoint where a Good or Excellent response for this bleeding episode was noted that cannot be explained other than as continuation of bleeding
Primary efficacy endpoint for EMA is the proportion of bleeding episodes (mild/moderate and severe combined) with a “good” or “excellent” patient (for mild/moderate bleeding episodes) and physician (for severe bleeding episodes) reported assessment of efficacy at 12 hours after the first administration of study drug. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The time point for the primary evaluation of efficacy will be at 12 hours after first administration of study drug |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
• Proportion of mild/moderate bleeding episodes successfully treated, according to the same criteria as the primary endpoint of efficacy, at all other timepoints
• Proportion of bleeding episodes (mild/moderate and severe, separately and combined) with a “good” or “excellent” patient (and/or physician when available) reported assessment of the efficacy at all timepoints
• Time to assessment of a “good” or “excellent” response of the bleeding episodes (mild/moderate and severe, separately and combined) by the patient/parent (and/or physician when available)
• The number of administrations and total amount of drug administered per bleeding episode |
