Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a concentrate containing both FVIII and von Willebrand Factor (VWF) given at a high dose will induce immune tolerance in subjects who have already experienced and failed ITI with VWF-free FVIII concentrates. The treatment on this study is expected to last up to 33 months.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The presence of Factor VIII (FVIII) inhibitor prevents FVIII infusions from working properly and makes treatment of bleeding episodes very difficult. Having an inhibitor is a serious and life-threatening complication in patients with Hemophilia. The usual treatment of patients with FVIII inhibitors involves what is called "immune tolerance induction" (ITI). Immune Tolerance means that the body can accept infused FVIII and that FVIII is again effective in controlling bleeds. ITI involves giving high doses of FVIII regularly until the inhibitor disappears. This treatment is not always effective. The inhibitor persists in about 1 in 5 patients who undergo ITI.

There are 2 types of FVIII concentrates: FVIII concentrates derived from human plasma, which contain VWF, and concentrates of FVIII without VWF. Both types of concentrates are commonly used to induce immune tolerance in patients with Hemophilia A. Retrospective studies on subjects who were treated with VWF containing Factor VIII concentrates after failing ITI with pure factor VIII concentrates, have shown that tolerance can be achieved in a large percentage of patients. This study will access prospectively whether treatment with a FVIII concentrate containing VWF given at a high dose (200 units per kilogram) daily for up to 33 months is able to induce immune tolerance after previous attempts with concentrates containing only FVIII have failed.

Factor VIII and von Willebrand Factor

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

VWF/FVIII concentrates

Intervention Type DRUG

200 IU/Kg by one or two bolus injections daily. After successful confirmation the dose will be tailed off progressively until discontinuation. Patients will be treated with a VWF/FVIII concentrates according to physician/patients preference.
