A study of the effectiveness and safety of Octafibrin, a replacement for fibrinogen, in patients with inherited fibrinogen deficiency causing episodes of bleeding.

Prospective, open-label, uncontrolled, Phase III study to assess the efficacy and safety of Octafibrin for on-demand treatment of acute bleeding and to prevent bleeding during and after surgery in subjects with congenital fibrinogen deficiency. - Octafibrin in Congenital Fibrinogen Deficiency - FORMA-02

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Subjects who meet all of the following criteria are eligible for the study: 1. Aged =12 years (only 18 and above in Russia). 2. Documented diagnosis of congenital fibrinogen deficiency, expected to require on-demand treatment for bleeding or surgical prophylaxis: – Fibrinogen deficiency manifested as afibrinogenaemia or severe hypofibrinogenaemia. – Historical plasma fibrinogen activity of=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 1

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Subjects who meet any of the following criteria are not eligible for the study: 1. Life expectancy 200 particles/µL or >400,000 copies/mL. 9. Polytrauma 1 year prior to start of treatment for the bleeding episode or surgery. 10. Diagnosis or suspicion of a neutralising anti-fibrinogen inhibitor currently or at any time in the past. 11. Acute or chronic medical condition which may, in the opinion of investigator, affect the conduct of the study, including – Subjects receiving immune-modulating drugs (other than anti-retroviral chemotherapy) such as alpha-interferon, prednisone (equivalent to >10 mg/day), or similar drugs at study start – Subjects having evidence or a history (within the previous 12 months) of abuse of any drug licit or illicit substance. 12. Participation in another interventional clinical study currently or during the past 4 weeks.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The study aims to demonstrate the efficacy of Octafibrin for on-demand treatment of acute bleeding episodes (spontaneous or after trauma).;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the overall clinical assessment of haemostatic efficacy in acute bleeding at 24 hours (i.e., 1 day) after last infusion or the end of the treatment observation period (whichever comes last) of the IMP for the first bleeding episode of each patient.; Secondary Objective: • To show an association between the overall clinical assessment of the effectiveness of Octafibrin and the laboratory endpoint ‘clot strength’ or ‘clot firmness’ (referred to as ‘maximum clot firmness’ [MCF] in this protocol) that was used as a "surrogate" measure of effectiveness in the previous study FORMA-01. • To achieve a peak target level of fibrinogen in plasma of 100 mg/dL in minor bleeds and 150 mg/dL for major bleeds 1 hour post-infusion. • To determine the response to Octafibrin based on incremental in vivo recovery (IVR). • To demonstrate the efficacy of Octafibrin in preventing bleeding during and after surgery. • To assess the safety of Octafibrin in subjects with congenital fibrinogen deficiency, including immunogenicity, thromboembolic complications, and early signs of allergic or hypersensitivity reactions. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 hours (i.e., 1 day) after last infusion or the end of the treatment observation period (whichever comes last) of the IMP for the first bleeding episode of each patient.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Clot strength (MCF) Peak target level of fibrinogen in plasma 1 hour post-infusion Octafibrin use - The dose of the IMP used per day and in total. In-vivo recovery (IVR)- Response and classical IVR will be calculated for each infusion of each subject. Surgical prophylaxis Efficacy of Octafibrin in surgical prophylaxis will be assessed intra-operatively (at the end of surgery = after last suture) by the surgeon and post-operatively by the haematologist using two 4-point efficacy scales. The overall surgical efficacy will be adjudicated by the IDMEAC. Safety analysis ; Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - MCF before 1st infusion and 1h after the end of the 1st and last infusion of each bleeding episode - Fibrinogen levels 1 hour after infusion of the investigational medicinal product (IMP - In vivo recovery (IVR)for each infusion - Octafibrin use per day and in total - Efficacy of Octafibrin in surgical prophylaxis will be assessed intra-operatively by the surgeon and post-operatively by the haematologist
