A Pharmacokinetic and Clotting Activity Study of FVIII-PEGLip
Study Details
- Hemophilia A With Inhibitor(s)
- Drug: PEGylated Liposome (PEGLip)
- Inclusion Criteria:
- Male adult patients aged 18 to 60 years;
- Severe Haemophilia A (FVIII plasma level <1IU/dL) with documented history of bleeds (for at least 6 months prior to enrolment);
- For patients without inhibitors: inhibitor titre < 0,6 Bethesda units and no medi-cal history of inhibitors;
- For patients with inhibitors: inhibitor titre ≥0,6 Bethesda units or documented medical history of inhibitors titre ≥0,6 Bethesda units;
- Adequate hematologic function, defined as platelet count ≥ 100,000/μL and hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL (≥ 4.97 mmol/L) at the time of screening;
- Adequate hepatic function, defined as total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) (excluding Gilbert's syndrome) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3 ×ULN at the time of screening; no clinical signs or known laboratory/radiographic evidence consistent with cirrho-sis;
- Adequate renal function, defined as serum creatinine ≤ 2.5 × ULN and creati-nine clearance by Cockcroft-Gault formula ≥ 30 mL/min;
- Patient's written informed consent, confirming his willingness to comply with the requirements of this protocol.
- Exclusion Criteria:
- Low platelet counts (<100000 / μl);
- Congenital or acquired bleeding defects (including acquired hemophilia) other than Hemophilia A;
- Abnormal renal function (serum creatinine concentrations greater than 1.3 mg/dL);
- Active hepatic disease (persistent aspartate aminotransferase [AST] or alanine aminotransferase [ALT] increases to greater than five times the upper limit of normal);
- A history of severe adverse reactions to blood products and/or plasma derived FVIII concentrates or liposomes, or PEG, or Nuwiq;
- A history of allergic reactions to bypassing agents;
- Any concomitant immunological disease (e.g. autoimmune chronic active hepati-tis, autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura or Immune Thrombocytopenic Pur-pura (ITP), lupus, Multiple Sclerosis (MS));
- Patients receiving immunosuppressive treatment (excluding glucocorticoids);
- Patients receiving therapy with interferon;
- Patients receiving any immune tolerance induction (ITI) therapy at the moment of the screening;
- Any individual with known dyslipidemia disease or actively taking cholesterol lowering drugs for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia or hyperlipidemia (e.g., statins, cholesterol absorption inhibitors, bile acid sequestrates, nicotinic acid or fibrates);
- Intake of NSAIDs (except COX-2 inhibitors), acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin) or any other antiplatelet agents, opioids.;
- Patients who have participated in another Clinical Trial (including medical device studies) within the past 60 days;
- Concurrent disease, treatment, or abnormality in clinical laboratory tests that could interfere with the conduct of the study or that would, in the opinion of the investigator or Sponsor, preclude the patient's safe participation in and completion of the study or interpretation of the study results, according to the Investigator.
- For patients without inhibitors - a history of demonstrating long half-lives for FVIII.
Protocol Summary
This study is looking at how safe it is to switch from emicizumab to Mim8, in people with haemophilia A. Mim8 is a new medicine that is used to prevent bleeding episodes in people with haemophilia A. Mim8 works by replacing the function of the missing clotting factor VIII (FVIII). Mim8 will be injected under the skin using a pen-injector either once every week, once every two weeks or once every month. The participants will be trained in using the pen injector. The participants can choose themselves, in collaboration with the study doctor how often they get Mim8 in this study. When the participant will get their first Mim8 injection depends on their current treatment with emicizumab. The participants will get their first Mim8 injection at Visit 2. Participants will have between 6 and 27 Mim8 injections. The total number of injections participants will have depends on their dosing frequency. The study will last for about 6-12 months. While taking part in this study, there are some restrictions about what medicine participant can use. The study doctor will tell the participants more about this. In case the participants experience bleeds, these can be treated with additional haemostatic medicine as agreed with the study doctor. Female participants cannot take part if they are pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to get pregnant during the study period.
