Condition(s) targeted: Hemophilia A

Intervention: Recombinant Protein-Free Factor VIII (rAHF-PFM) (Drug); Recombinant Factor VIII (rAHF) (Drug)

Phase: Phase 4

Status: Recruiting

Sponsored by: Baxter Healthcare Corporation

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetic parameters and safety of Advate rAHF-PFM versus Recombinate rAHF in well described previously treated patients with severe hemophilia A (factor VIII level < 1%).

Clinical Details

Official title: Pharmacokinetic Comparison of Advate rAHF-PFM With Recombinate rAHF in Patients With Severe Hemophilia A: a Phase IV, Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Cross-Over, Single Center Study

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Open Label, Uncontrolled, Crossover Assignment, Pharmacokinetics Study

Primary outcome: Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from 0 to 48 hours (computed using the linear trapezoidal rule)

Eligibility

Minimum age: 15 Years. Maximum age: 60 Years. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Signed informed consent obtained from subject or legally authorized representative

- 15-60 years old

- Factor VIII level < 1% as documented by previously measured factor VIII and

genotyping

- Previously treated with factor VIII concentrate(s) for a minimum of at least 150

exposure days (as documented by the study site investigator) prior to study entry

- Observed decrease of efficacy by subject and/or treating physician after being

switched from Recombinate rAHF to Advate rAHF-PFM

Exclusion Criteria:

- The subject has a detectable factor VIII inhibitor at screening, with a titer >= 0. 4

BU (Nijmegen modification of the Bethesda Assay) measured at the local and the central laboratory

- The subject has a known hypersensitivity to mouse or hamster proteins

- The subject is participating in another investigational drug study within 30 days

prior to screening

- The subject is identified by the investigator as being unable or unwilling to

cooperate with study procedures
