A study of the Safety and Effectiveness of Pegylated Recombinant Factor VIII (BAX 855) in Prevention of Bleeding in Patients with Severe Hemophilia A (a blood clotting disorder) using two different dosing schedules to target different levels of BAX855 in the blood.

Phase 3, prospective, randomized, multi-center clinical study comparing the safety and efficacy of BAX 855 following PK-guided prophylaxis targeting two different FVIII trough levels in subjects with severe Hemophilia A - BAX 855 PK-guided Dosing

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to compare 2 prophylactic dosing regimens of BAX 855 targeting 2 different FVIII trough levels, by comparing the proportions of subjects achieving a total ABR of 0 in the second 6-month study period.; Secondary Objective: To compare the 2 prophylactic dosing regimens of BAX 855 targeting 2 different FVIII trough levels with respect to the following: Proportion of subjects in each prophylactic dosing arm achieving a spontaneous ABR and spontaneous AJBR of 0 in the second 6-m period Proportion of subjects in each prophylactic dosing arm with a total, spontaneous ABR and AJBR <2 Total, spontaneous, and trauma-related ABRs in the 12-m period Reduction in ABR between the two treatment arms and the historical ABR prior to study enrolment Total weight-adjusted consumption of BAX 855 for each prophylactic regimen Joint status using the HJHS and over time HRQoL / Pharmacoeconomic outcomes To determine: hemostatic efficacy of BAX 855 in control of bleeding episodes efficacy of BAX 855 for perioperative management immunogenicity/ safety of BAX 855 PK parameters of BAX 855 at baseline and steady state and the correlation with pre-infusion VWF antigen level IR over time To assess the PROs over time ;Primary end point(s): 1. Presence or absence of any bleedings in the second 6-month study period.; Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The observation period for the primary endpoint will be the second 6 months of prophylaxis (Day 184 to Day 366). If the subject undergoes a surgical procedure the observation period is interrupted starting from the presurgical loading dose until the subject resumes his previous prophylactic treatment regimen, or until rehabil

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Efficacy 1. Total, spontaneous and traumatic ABR, and spontaneous AJBR 2. Total weight-adjusted consumption of BAX 855 3. Overall hemostatic efficacy rating at 8 (± 1) hours after the initiation of treatment and at resolution of bleed 4. Number of BAX 855 infusions needed for the treatment of bleeding episodes 5. HJHS 6. Intra-, post- and perioperative hemostatic efficacy in case of surgery 7. Intra- and postoperative blood loss in case of surgery Safety 1. Occurrence of AEs and SAEs 2. Clinically significant changes in vital signs and clinical laboratory parameters (hematology, clinical chemistry, and lipids) 3. Inhibitory antibodies to FVIII, and binding antibodies to FVIII, BAX 855, PEG, and CHO protein Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) 1. Physical domain and component scores of the SF-36 Health Survey Pharmacokinetics 1. BAX 855 PK parameters based on FVIII activity at baseline and steady state, if applicable: a.
