What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new treatment called SR604, focusing on its safety and effectiveness for people with certain bleeding disorders like Hemophilia A, Hemophilia B, or Factor VII deficiency. In the first part, healthy participants help researchers understand how the body processes the drug. The second part evaluates how well SR604 works for those with the mentioned bleeding conditions. Individuals with hemophilia who experience frequent bleeding episodes or have difficulty with current treatments might be suitable for the study. As a Phase 1 trial, participants will be among the first to receive this new treatment, aiding researchers in understanding its effects in people.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial requires participants with Hemophilia A or B to undergo a weaning period from their current treatment or prophylaxis. This means you may need to gradually reduce or stop your current hemophilia medications before starting the study treatment.

Is there any evidence suggesting that SR604 is likely to be safe for humans?

Research has shown that SR604 is likely a safe treatment. Studies indicate it is generally safe and well-tolerated. So far, no reports have linked the treatment to viral infections or unexpected side effects. This is promising for anyone considering joining a clinical trial for SR604. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?

Researchers are excited about SR604 for hemophilia because it offers a potentially innovative approach to managing this condition. Unlike traditional treatments that often involve frequent intravenous infusions, SR604 is administered as a subcutaneous injection, which could simplify the treatment process and improve patient comfort. Moreover, SR604 is being tested in various doses and schedules, including multiple injections every four weeks for some cohorts, which might enhance effectiveness and provide longer-lasting results. This flexibility and potential for improved quality of life make SR604 a promising option in the world of hemophilia treatments.

What evidence suggests that SR604 might be an effective treatment for Hemophilia?

Research shows that SR604 could effectively treat hemophilia. Studies have found that SR604 prevents bleeding in mice with hemophilia A and B, suggesting it might work similarly in humans. SR604 targets a specific protein and remains active in the body for an extended period. Early results indicate it could be a safe option for people with factor deficiencies, common in hemophilia. These findings come from early trials, but they are promising. Participants in this trial will receive different doses of SR604 to evaluate its effectiveness and safety. ^{1 2 3 4 6}

Published Research Related to This Trial

Inhibitor development is a major complication in hemophilia A treatment, and genetic factors, particularly the type of F8 mutation, significantly influence the risk of developing inhibitors, especially in patients with a family history of inhibitors.

Recent studies suggest that initial intensive treatments increase the risk of inhibitors, while regular prophylaxis can provide a protective effect; a validated clinical score can help predict inhibitor risk based on genetic and treatment history.

In a study involving 3,000 to 4,000 hemophiliacs treated with Monoclate over two years, only 43 patients reported a total of 134 adverse events, indicating a low incidence of side effects.

Monoclate demonstrated an excellent safety profile, with no reports of viral transmission or unexpected adverse events, making it comparable to other factor VIII preparations.

The GOAL-Hēm tool was refined based on feedback from 38 participants (19 adults with hemophilia and 19 caregivers), resulting in significant changes: 45% of original goal descriptors were removed, and new goals and descriptors were added to enhance relevance and clarity.

Participants expressed that the patient-centric language of GOAL-Hēm empowered them in the goal-setting process and recognized its potential to measure meaningful clinical changes in their experiences with hemophilia.

Advancements in hemophilia treatment over the past 50 years have led to the availability of safe and effective factors VIII and IX, as well as integrated care models, but challenges remain in completely preventing joint bleeding and deterioration.

New recombinant clotting factors with extended half-lives may enhance treatment adherence and improve clinical outcomes by allowing for more convenient infusion schedules and better management of individual patient needs.

In a study analyzing claims data from 776 hemophilia A patients, it was found that patients using extended half-life (EHL) recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) products dispensed significantly more international units (IUs) compared to those using standard half-life (SHL) products, with increases of 10% and 45% in two different databases.

Patients switched to EHL products experienced consistently higher expenditures, with costs being 51% to 122% greater than those using SHL products, indicating that while EHL may offer benefits in dosing frequency, it also leads to higher treatment costs.

Premofil M SRK demonstrated a mean in vivo recovery of factor VIII of 77%, indicating effective absorption and activity in patients with hemophilia.

Only 25 out of 2352 reviewed references on haemophilia outcomes were eligible for inclusion, indicating that it is still uncommon for registries to publish peer-reviewed research on treatment outcomes, particularly in Europe and North America.

The focus of existing research has been more on traditional outcomes like comorbidities and factor consumption, rather than on health-related quality of life or the social impacts of haemophilia, highlighting a gap in understanding the full effects of the disorder on patients' lives.

Recent advancements in haemophilia care, including improved treatment protocols and the use of recombinant factor VIII therapy, have significantly increased life expectancy and quality of life for patients, allowing them to transition to adulthood with healthier joints.

Despite these improvements, challenges remain, such as the short half-life of factor VIII requiring frequent re-administration and the development of inhibitors, prompting ongoing research to optimize treatment options.

In a study involving 217 patients with severe to moderately severe hemophilia A, those treated with prophylaxis using recombinant factor VIII (REFACTO) experienced significantly fewer bleeding episodes (median of 4.4 per year) compared to those treated on-demand (median of 22.8 per year), highlighting the efficacy of prophylactic treatment.

The study reported a low incidence of serious adverse events (40% of patients), with only 2.8% developing inhibitors, indicating that REFACTO is generally safe and well-tolerated in the treatment of hemophilia A.

BAY 94-9027, an extended half-life recombinant factor VIII, showed similar annualized bleeding rates (ABRs) compared to other FVIII agents while requiring significantly lower doses, indicating its efficacy in hemophilia A prophylaxis with potentially improved convenience for patients.

In a comparison using matched patient data, BAY 94-9027 demonstrated lower factor utilization than rFVIIIFc, BAX 855, and rAHF-PFM, suggesting it may be a more efficient treatment option for managing hemophilia A.
