Congenital Bleeding Disorder, Haemophilia A With Inhibitors, Haemophilia B With Inhibitors
Conditions
Brief summary
This trial is conducted in Europe and the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to evaluate the basal and spiked TEG® (Thromboelastography) or ROTEM® (Thromboelastometry) profiles of frequently bleeding haemophilia subjects with inhibitors in a non-bleeding state.
Detailed description
The TEG parameters are: R time (Reaction Time), K time (K Time (arbitrary measurement)), a (a angle), MA (Maximum Amplitude) and LY30 (Lysis 30 min after MA) while the ROTEM parameters are: CT (Clotting Time), CFT (Clot Formation Time), a (a angle), MCF (Maximum Clot Firmness) and LI60 (Lysis index 60 min after CT)
Interventions
Subjects will be called to attend the clinic in a non-bleeding state. Blood samples will be drawn for thromboelastogram profiling and will be in-vitro spiked with different doses of activatated recombinant human factor VII.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Confirmed diagnosis of congenital haemophilia A or B with a FVIII:C clot activity or FIX:C clot activity, respectively, less than 5% * Presently use of activated recombinant human factor VII (NovoSeven®) as haemostatic agent for preventive treatment or treatment of bleeding episodes * A documented historical or present record for the presence of inhibitors to factor VIII or IX, respectively * A documented history of 2 or more joint bleeding episodes during the preceding 12 months * Subjects must be in a non-bleeding state (i.e. no clinical manifestations of active bleeds)
Exclusion criteria
* Subjects who have received any haemostatic treatment for a bleeding episode within the last 7 days prior to this trial * Immune tolerance therapy within the last 30 days prior to this trial * Clinically relevant coagulation disorders other than congenital haemophilia A or B * Thrombocytopenia (platelet count below 60,000 platelets/mcl) * Prophylactic haemostatic treatment within 3 days prior to this trial
