- Participants must have inhibitory antibodies to FVIII or FIX and must meet one of the following Nijmegen-modified Bethesda assay results criteria:
- Inhibitor titer of ≥0.6 BU/mL at screening, OR
- Inhibitor titer of \<0.6 BU/mL at screening with medical record evidence of 2 consecutive titers ≥0.6 BU/mL, OR
- Inhibitor titer of \<0.6 BU/mL at screening with medical record evidence of 1 inhibitor titer ≥0.6 BU/mL and a history of anamnestic response or severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis or nephrotic syndrome)
- Adequate peripheral venous access, as determined by the Investigator, to allow the blood draws required by the study protocol
- Weight requirements at the time of enrollment: 8 to \<45 kg
- Willing and able to comply with the study requirements and to provide signed written informed consent obtained from parent(s)/legal guardian (hereinafter the "parent") and written or oral assent obtained from participant, per local and national requirements
- Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:
- Known co-existing bleeding disorders other than hemophilia A or B
- Antithrombin (AT) activity \<60% at Screening
- Co-existing thrombophilic disorder
- Clinically significant liver disease
- Active Hepatitis C virus infection
- Acute or chronic Hepatitis B virus infection
- Acute Hepatitis A or hepatitis E infection
- HIV positive with a CD4 count of \<400 cells/μL
- History of arterial or venous thromboembolism, unrelated to an indwelling venous access
- Inadequate renal function
- History of multiple drug allergies or history of allergic reaction to an oligonucleotide or N-Acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)
- Subjects with central or peripheral indwelling catheters, with history of venous access complications leading to hospitalization and/or systemic anticoagulation therapy.
- History of intolerance to subcutaneous (SC) injection(s)
- Use of emicizumab (Hemlibra®) within 6 months prior to screening
- Any other conditions or comorbidities that would make the patient unsuitable for enrollment or could interfere with participation in or completion of the study, per Investigator judgment
- The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.
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.
