Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Concizumab

Experimental: Arm 1: No prophylaxis (PPX) - Haemophilia A (HA) and haemophilia B (HB) patients, previously treated on-demand, will be randomised 1:2 to no prophylaxis versus concizumab prophylaxis. In the extension phase, this group will receive treatment with concizumab.

Experimental: Arm 2: Concizumab prophylaxis - HA and HB patients, previously treated on-demand, will be randomised 1:2 to no prophylaxis versus concizumab prophylaxis.

Experimental: Arm 3: Concizumab prophylaxis - The HA patients enrolled into the concizumab phase 2 trial NN7415-4255 (explorer 5) will be offered enrolment into this arm.

Experimental: Arm 4: Concizumab prophylaxis - Arm 4 will include patients previously on prophylaxis with factor products with a minimum of 24 weeks observation in NN7415-4322 (explorer 6) (at least 30 HA and 30 HB patients).

In addition, arm 4 will also include: 1) Patients who were randomised to arms 1 and 2 before the treatment pause. 2) HA patients who were in NN7415-4255 (explorer 5) at the time of the treatment pause, and who have now completed explorer 5. 3) On demand patients included after arms 1 and 2 are closed.


Treatment: Drugs: Concizumab
When patients are randomised/allocated to concizumab prophylaxis, they will receive a loading dose of 1.0 mg/kg concizumab at visit 2a (week (Wk) 0) (arm 2, 3 and 4) or visit 9a (Wk 24) (arm 1) followed by an initial daily dose of 0.20 mg/kg concizumab from treatment day 2. Within an initial 5-8-week dose adjustment period on 0.20 mg/kg concizumab, the patients can be increased or decreased in dose to 0.25 mg/kg or 0.15 mg/kg concizumab. A potential dose adjustment will take place at visit 4a.1 (Wk 6) or 9a.3 (Wk 30) and will be based on the concizumab exposure level measured at the previous visit 4a (Wk 6) or 9a.2 (Wk 28). Patients who have concizumab exposure levels of 200-4000 ng/mL will stay at 0.20 mg/kg concizumab. Patients in arm 1 will continue on-demand treatment with their usual replacement therapy until visit 9a (week 24; end of main part). In the extension part, patients in arm 1 will receive daily concizumab subcutaneous injections.

Summary
Brief summary
This study will test how well a new medicine called concizumab works in the body of people with haemophilia A or B without inhibitors. The purpose is to show that concizumab can prevent bleeds in the body and is safe to use. Participants who usually only take medicine to treat bleeds (on-demand) will be placed in one of two groups. In one group participants will get study medicine from the start of the study. In the other group participants will continue with their normal medicine and get study medicine after 6 months. Which treatment the participant gets is decided by chance. Participants who usually take medicine to prevent bleeds (prophylaxis treatment) or who are already being treated with concizumab (study medicine) will receive the study medicine from the start of the study. Participants will have to inject themselves with the study medicine 1 time every day under the skin. This can be done at home. The study doctor will hand out the medicine in the form of a pen-injector. The pen-injector will contain the study medicine. The study will last for up to 6.5 years. The length of time the participant will be in the study depends on when they agreed to take part or when the medicine is available for purchase in their country (21 April 2026 at the latest). Participants will have to come to the clinic for up to 40 times. The time between visits will be approximately 4 weeks for the first 6 to 12 months depending on the group participants are in, and approximately 8 weeks for the rest of the study. If the participant attends extra visits due to the prescription medicine not being available for purchase in their country, these will be 14 weeks apart. Participants will be asked to record information in an electronic diary during the study and may also be asked to wear an activity tracker.
