SAFE Study: Safety of aPCC Following Emicizumab Prophylaxis
brief summary
The purpose of the aPCC-emicizumab safety study is to investigate the hemostatic efficacy as measured by thrombin generation, of a low personalized dose of aPCC (FEIBA) in children and adults with hemophilia A and inhibitors on emicizumab prophylaxis.
detailed description
Hemophilia A (HA) is a congenital bleeding disorder caused by deficient or dysfunctional factor VIII (FVIII) which leads to bleeding correlated with factor deficiency severity. Patients with HA develop recurrent bleeds into joints and soft tissues that culminate into debilitating arthropathy and long-term morbidity.
The previous standard of care for high titer antibody eradication in hemophilia A (HA) included a labor-intensive, immune tolerance induction (ITI) regimen administered with concomitant bypassing agent (BPA) prophylaxis, either daily recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) or at least 3 non-consecutive days of activated prothrombin complex concentrate (aPCC) given intravenously (IV) each week.
The overall objective is to determine whether the thrombin generation assay can be used to personalize a dose of aPCC that could be used in a future study during an acute bleeding event and peri-surgical prophylaxis in children and adults with hemophilia A and inhibitors on emicizumab primary prophylaxis.
