Summary

This trial will study the safety and effectiveness of Hemlibra in mild hemophilia A patients with altered FVIII. Secondary outcomes will assess changes in joint health and quality of life.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for males aged 5-45 with mild congenital hemophilia A (FVIII level >5% to 30%), without FVIII inhibitors or history of them. Participants must have documented bleeding events and be willing to undergo specific challenges if they've had no prior adverse reactions. Exclusions include previous emicizumab use, other investigational drugs recently, certain cardiovascular risks, additional bleeding disorders, drug/alcohol abuse, and significant hypersensitivity to monoclonal antibodies.

What is being tested?

The study tests Hemlibra (emicizumab) in a single-arm phase 4 trial focusing on its blood clotting effects in mild hemophilia A patients. It aims to determine safety and effectiveness by monitoring coagulation lab parameters, changes in joint health, and quality of life improvements.

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include allergic reactions related to the injection components or general issues associated with monoclonal antibody therapies such as infusion-related reactions. Specific side effect profiles for emicizumab will be monitored throughout the study.

Awards & Highlights

Pivotal Trial

The final step before approval, pivotal trials feature drugs that have already shown basic safety & efficacy.

No Placebo-Only Group

All patients enrolled in this study will receive some form of active treatment.

All Individual Drugs Already Approved

Therapies where all constituent drugs have already been approved are likely to have better-understood side effect profiles.

Drug Has Already Been Approved

The FDA has already approved this drug, and is just seeking more data.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Single ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Patients with mild hemophilia A (without inhibitors) will be treated with prophylactic emicizumab. The clinical hemostatic efficacy and safety will be assessed. Secondary outcomes will assess changes in quality of life and joint health in treated patients.
