Participant Flow

Of a total of 29 initiated trial sites, 23 sites enrolled and dosed at least one patient. The country distribution was (number of actively recruiting sites per country in parenthesis): Austria (1), Canada (1), Finland (1), France (1), Germany (3), Israel (2), Italy (1), Spain (1), Switzerland (1), UK (3) and United States of America (8)

After screening, eligible subjects entered a 4-week run-in period followed by a 52-week recombinant factor XIII (rFXIII) treatment period. Subjects who before entering the trial were receiving regular replacement therapy with a FXIII-containing product were to receive their last standard replacement dose just before the screening visit.

Measure
rFXIII
Subjects received 35 IU/kg rFXIII every 4th week (28±2 days) during a treatment period of 52 weeks. In case of acute bleeding episodes, any additional treatment as per investigator judgment was to be according to local standard practice. Additional doses of rFXIII could therefore not be used to treat such breakthrough bleedings

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: For a period of 322 days (approximately one year) comprised of a screening visit (Visit 1), treatment period (Visits 2-15), unscheduled visit and end-of-trial visit (Visit 16).

Population: Full analysis set - consisting of a total of 41 subjects who received at least one dose of trial product.

It represents the incidence of bleeding episodes requiring treatment with a FXIII-containing product.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: For a period of 322 days (approximately one year) comprised of a screening visit (Visit 1), treatment period (Visits 2-15), unscheduled visit and end-of-trial visit (Visit 16).

Population: Full analysis set - consisting of a total of 41 subjects who received at least one dose of trial product. For All Dosing Visits, the participants analyzed (N) are the 'All Visit Subjects Count' i.e. the sum of subject counts across all dosing visits combined.

Blood samples for clot solubility drawn at each visit (1 hour before and after dose administration). A clot solubility assay was used to screen for FXIII deficiency. The assay is based on the ability of urea to dissolve fibrin clots that have not undergone FXIII-induced stabilization. Normal blood clots generally remain stable for 24 hours or more, while clots in which fibrin molecules have not been cross-linked are soluble within minutes. The outcome of the test is normal (FXIII present; a clot is observed in the test tube) or abnormal (FXIII absent or very low level; no clot in test tube).

Population: Full analysis set - consisting of a total of 41 subjects who received at least one dose of trial product. For All Dosing Visits, the participants analyzed (N) are the 'All Visit Subjects Count' i.e. the sum of subject counts across all dosing visits combined.

Subjects entered a 52-week treatment period of monthly (28±2 days) doses of 35 IU/kg rFXIII. Blood samples for analysis of FXIII activity were drawn at each visit; at dosing visits blood was drawn 1 hour after administration and before administration(corresponding to 28 days after the previous dose). All Dosing Visits are visits where a dose is given (i.e. Visit 2-15 except Visit 3).
