Conditions

Congenital hemophilia A with FVIII inhibitors

Interventions

Any type of FVIII concentrate can be used for ITI but the dosing regimen must be 50 IU/kg three times a week. However, when using extended half-life FVIII concentrates, a dosing frequency of twice a w

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients must meet all of the following criteria for study entry: 1) Informed Consent Form signed by the patient or the patient's legally authorized representative. Pediatric patients who are capable: Informed Assent Form signed by the patient 2) Patient or caregiver: Willing and able to comply with all study procedures (including filling out questionnaires on bleeds/drugs used) 3) Diagnosed with congenital hemophilia A and meets either of the following criteria: a. Will start ITI after study enrollment and has positive FVIII inhibitor titer ( >= 0.6 BU/mL) as evidenced by most recent titer results within 8 weeks before enrollment b. Is already undergoing ITI at study enrollment and has not yet met partial success as evidenced by most recent titer results within 8 weeks before enrollment

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from study entry: 1) Inherited or acquired bleeding disorder other than congenital hemophilia A 2) Previous (within the last 12 months) or current treatment for thromboembolic disease (with the exception of previous catheter-associated thrombosis for which anti-thrombotic treatment is not currently ongoing) or high risk for thromboembolic diseases(e.g. protein S deficiency) 3) At high risk for thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) in the opinion of the investigator based on previous or familial history of TMA (e.g., thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura [TTP], atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome [aHUS]) 4) Participating or planning to participate in other intervention trials 5) Otherwise unsuitable for study participation in the opinion of the investigator

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To comprehensively evaluate the following safety of emicizumab under and after ITI in patients with congenital hemophilia A with FVIII inhibitors. - Adverse event (Mainly thromboembolic events) - Abnormal laboratory values

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- Number of bleeds over time requiring treatment with coagulation factor products - Number of patients meeting partial success of responsiveness to ITI therapy - Time to achieve negative FVIII inhibitor titers and partial success in patients starting ITI after study enrollment - FVIII inhibitor titers under and after ITI therapy - Patient health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) as measured by Hemophilia-Specific Quality of Life Short Form (Haemo-QoL-SF) and caregiver HR-QoL as measured by Inhibitor-Specific Quality of Life with Aspects of Caregiver Burden (Adapted INHIB-QoL) scores
