Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - Hemophilia A and B patients of all ages on prophylaxis; - Prophylaxis with SHL factor concentrates or EHL factor concentrates; - Severe (FVIII/ FIX<0.01 IU/mL) and non-severe (FVIII/FIX¡Ý0.01 IU/mL) hemophilia patients; - Initiation of EHL or other novel products in compliance with national guidelines; - Written (parental) informed consent, according to local law and regulations
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Patients with other congenital or acquired hemostatic abnormalities; - General medical conditions which may interfere with participation in the study; - Inability to adhere to prophylaxis and/ or inability to keep detailed logs of infusions and bleeding episodes; - Withdrawal of (parental) informed consent. Due to the intention to treat analyses that will be applied, patients who develop inhibitors during the intervention will still be included in the statistical analyses.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Observed trough and peak FVIII and FIX levels in comparison to predicted FVIII and FIX levels by population PK-modeling (predictive performance). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Association of (real life or simulated) FVIII/FIX (trough and peak levels) with bleeding episodes and daily activities. 2. Expectations, feasibility and experience with PK-guided dosing with the different factor concentrates (standard half-life versus extended half-life) as reported by patient/ caretakers and physician will be measured using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at the start and end of the study (Appendix VAS). 3. Economic analysis in which costs and benefits of standard prophylactic treatment and PK-guided prophylaxis are compared. 4. Analysis of modifiers effecting PK parameters of FVIII/FIX concentrate in order to further optimize population PK models. | — |
