Title Phase 3b Continuation Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Prophylactic BAX 855 in PTPs with Severe Hemophilia A

IRB BAX1Z14

CC 14-375

Hospital Main Campus

Phase Phase 3

Disease Hemophilia A

Drug PEGylated rFVIII (BAX 855)

Description

Description

Primary Objectives

  • To determine the safety of BAX 855 based on the incidence of FVIII inhibitory antibody development
  • To determine the efficacy of BAX 855 based on the annualized bleed rate (ABR) of spontaneous bleeding episodes

Secondary Objectives

  • Efficacy
    • To determine the total ABR (spontaneous and traumatic bleeding episodes)
    • To determine the overall hemostatic efficacy rating of BAX 855 for treatment of breakthrough bleeding episodes
    • To determine the length of intervals between bleeding episodes
    • To characterize the hemostatic efficacy of BAX 855 for treatment of bleeding episodes by the number of BAX 855 infusions for treatment
    • To determine total weight-adjusted consumption of BAX 855 for prophylaxis and for treatment of bleeding episodes
    • To assess Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) over time for subjects receiving BAX 855
  • Safety
    • To determine the safety of BAX 855, as assessed by the occurrence of AEs and changes in vital signs and clinical laboratory parameters
    • To determine the immunogenicity of BAX 855

Exploratory Objectives

  • To assess patient satisfaction, patient activity levels, and health resource use over time for subjects receiving BAX 855
  • To determine the potential correlation between TGA parameters, FVIII trough levels and ABR
