Conditions

Congenital Bleeding Disorder, Haemophilia A

Brief summary

This trial is conducted in Asia, Europe, and North and South America. The trial consists of a main trial and a sub-trial. The main trial investigates safety and efficacy of turoctocog alfa (recombinant factor VIII, rFVIII (N8)) in haemophilia A subjects, while the sub-trial investigates safety and efficacy of turoctocog alfa in prevention and treatment of bleeding episodes during surgical procedures.

Interventions

Subjects will receive bleeding preventive treatment (home treatment with self-injection i.v.) with turoctocog alfa at a dose of 20-40 IU/kg body weight every second day or 20-50 IU/kg body weight three times per week at the investigator's discretion.

Inclusion criteria

* Male subjects with the diagnosis of severe (FVIII less than or equal to 1%) haemophilia A from age 12 (except for Israel where the age limit will be 18 for the first 10 subjects recruited in the trial) to 56 years having a weight of 10 to 120 kg * Documented history of at least 150 exposure days to any other FVIII products (prevention or treatment of bleeds) * No history of FVIII inhibitors greater than or equal to 0.6 BU/mL. The inhibitor should be measured regularly for at least the last 8 years or since the first treatment of haemophilia A * No detectable inhibitors to FVIII (greater than or equal to 0.6 BU/mL) (as assessed by a Central Laboratory at the time of screening)

Exclusion criteria

* Congenital or acquired coagulation disorders other than haemophilia A * Creatinine levels 50% above normal level (as defined by central laboratory range) * Known or suspected allergy to trial product (N8) or related products

The Incidence Rate of FVIII Inhibitors (Greater Than or Equal to 0.6 Bethesda Units (BU))The adverse events were collected throughout the trial, corresponding to an average of 188 days per subject.The incidence rate of FVIII inhibitors was calculated by including all patients with inhibitors in the nominator and including all patients with a minimum 50 exposure plus any patients with less than 50 exposures but with inhibitors in denominator.

Severe AEs: considerable interference with subject's daily activities, unacceptable. Moderate AEs: Marked symptoms, moderate interference with the patient's daily activities. Mild AEs: No or transient symptoms, no interference with the patient's daily activities. Serious AEs: AE that at any dose results in any of the following: death, a life-threatening experience, in-subject hospitalization/prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent/significant disability/incapacity/congenital anomaly/birth defect.

Outcome results

Primary

The Incidence Rate of FVIII Inhibitors (Greater Than or Equal to 0.6 Bethesda Units (BU))

The incidence rate of FVIII inhibitors was calculated by including all patients with inhibitors in the nominator and including all patients with a minimum 50 exposure plus any patients with less than 50 exposures but with inhibitors in denominator.

Time frame: The adverse events were collected throughout the trial, corresponding to an average of 188 days per subject.

Population: The safety analysis set includes all 150 subjects who received at least one dose of the investigational product. The analysis of the primary endpoint included all subjects with at least 50 exposure days and/or with inhibitors. A total of 148 subjects had 50 exposure days (EDs).
