Association of Prophylactic Treatment With Treatment Burden and Psychosocial Variables in Patients With Hemophilia
Study Details
- Hemophilia
- Patients over 18 years of age.
- Patients with a medical diagnosis of hemophilia A or B.
- Patients who, regardless of disease phenotype (mild, moderate or severe), are receiving prophylactic treatment with recombinant or plasma clotting factor concentrates, either short half-life or extended half-life.
- Patients must have maintained the same treatment regimen (SHL or EHL) continuously for at least six months prior to participation.
- Patients who have developed inhibitors or antibodies to FVIII or FIX concentrates.
- People with a concomitant diagnosis of other serious or disabling chronic diseases (neurological, oncological, severe psychiatric or rheumatological) that may interfere with the perceived burden of treatment, sleep quality, functionality or perception of self-efficacy.
- Patients with cognitive, linguistic or sensory impairments that prevent them from correctly understanding and completing the questionnaires.
- Patients who are participating in clinical trials or intensive monitoring programmes that may alter their perception of the treatment and generate biases in the evaluation.
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.
