Information source: Baxter Healthcare Corporation
Information obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov on February 12, 2009 Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.
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
