Brief Summary

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

Patients with severe hemophilia A often develop joint complication requiring careful monitoring. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of standard low dose weight-based FVIII concentrates (CFCs) prophylaxis with pharmacokinetic-guided extended half-life FVIII concentrates (eHLFVIII) using cartilage biomarkers and HEAD-US score.

Intervention Model

SEQUENTIAL

PwSHA receiving low-dose FVIII prophylaxis for ≥6 months were enrolled. Weight-based low-dose FVIII prophylaxis (10-15 IU/kg, 1-3 times/week) was continued for 4 months, then switched to PK-guided low-dose EHL FVIII prophylaxis, targeting a trough FVIII activity of 1 IU/dL, for another 4 months. ESR, CRP, ferritin, and CTX-II were measured at week 8 (during the weight-based low-dose regimen) and at week 24 (during the PK-guided regimen). HEAD-US scores were also compared at weeks 16 and 32. Bleeding rates and quality-of-life (QoL) score were analyzed parallelly.
