|---|---|
| Main Objective: Aim of the study is to assess whether or not switching to the use of a rFVIII (standard and extended half-life) product after the period of higher risk for inhibitor occurrence (first 50 EDs) is as safe as continuing with plasma-derived products lifelong, with no occurrence of a new peak of inhibitor development;Secondary Objective: to investigate the frequency of transient inhibitors; the modality of occurrence of inhibitors (number of EDs, titre at onset etc.); the clinical factors potentially associated to inhibitor development (age at first treatment, family history of haemophilia, family history of inhibitor, surgery, severity of treatment); the laboratory measurable factors potentially involved in inhibitor development (FVIII gene defect, FVIII antigen levels, subclass of inhibitor, epitope mapping); the incidence of any potential adverse event related to this proposed treatment schedule. As ancillary end-points, the bleeding history will be evaluated measuring the annualized bleeding rate (ABR). ;Primary end point(s): The primary end-point is the development of inhibitors during 50-100 EDs, centrally confirmed, and non-transient. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Inhibitor monitoring will include an assessment at the central laboratory with a Nijmegen-modified Bethesda assay 1) at screening, 2) every 5 EDs, for the first 20 EDs, then 3) every 10 EDs for the remaining 30 EDs or at any time inhibitor development will be clinically suspected, 4) after the first 50 EDs, again 5) every 5 EDs, for the additional first 20 EDs, 6) every 10 EDs for the last 30 EDs and 7) at the end of the study or at any time inhibitor development will be clinically suspected. Patients will be followed until inhibitor development or until 100EDs, whichever comes first. | — |
