Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: prophylaxis
prophylaxis with recombinant activated FVII 90 µg/kg/day i.v.
 Drug: recombinant activated factor VII
90 µg/kg/day i.v.
Other Name: NovoSeven
Active Comparator: on demand treatment
treatment of bleeding episodes with 270 µg/kg (first/single dose) or 90 µg/kg i.v. every 2-3 hours until bleeding resolution
 Drug: recombinant activated factor VII
treatment of bleeding episodes with 270 µg/kg (first/single dose) or 90 µg/kg i.v. every 2-3 hours until bleeding resolution
Other Name: NovoSeven

Detailed Description:

This is a multicentre, randomised, controlled study designed to gain evidence of the advantage of the prophylactic, daily treatment with recombinant activated FVII as compared to the conventional on demand therapy in reducing the bleeding frequency and preserving the orthopaedic status in hemophilic children with inhibitors.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   up to 8 Years
Genders Eligible for Study:   Male
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with hemophilia A who have been treated with factor VIII on demand or on prophylaxis and who have developed inhibitors to factor VIII
  • ≤ 2 years from the time of first inhibitor detection.
  • High-responding inhibitors (historical peak > 5 BU/mL)and known anamnestic response in case of negative inhibitor titre.
  • Candidates to start daily ITI with FVIII doses ranging from 50 IU/Kg/day to 200 IU/Kg/day
  • Maximal two bleedings in the same joint within the last 6 months before entering the study or maximal six joint bleeds in the same joint within 2 years
  • Adequate venous access for daily infusion and capable (caregiver) of reconstituting and injecting the study drug
  • Informed consent by parents or legal guardians.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • ITI already started
  • Known or suspected hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients of the study drug
  • Administration of any investigational product within 30 days prior to randomisation
  • Other coagulation disorders than congenital hemophilia A.
  • Family history of thrombosis at an early age (< 40 years), known thrombophilia, any previous thrombosis including catheter-related deep vein thrombosis, previous neonatal thrombosis.
  • Known pseudo tumours
  • Known severe liver disease
  • Platelet count < 50,000 platelets/µL at screening
  • Surgery within one month or planned major and/or orthopaedic surgery.
