Efanesoctocog Alfa for Hemophilia A
(SYNOVIIIUS Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a treatment called efanesoctocog alfa, administered once a week to assist people with hemophilia A, a condition where blood doesn't clot properly. The goal is to determine if this treatment can reduce joint swelling caused by synovial hypertrophy (a thickening of the joint lining) over 12 months. Individuals with moderate to severe hemophilia A who have experienced joint swelling might be suitable candidates for this study. As a Phase 4 trial, this research involves an FDA-approved treatment and aims to understand how it can benefit more patients.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, it does mention that participants should not be on efanesoctocog alfa treatment already. It's best to discuss your current medications with the study team.
What is the safety track record for Efanesoctocog Alfa?
Research has shown that efanesoctocog alfa is generally safe for people with hemophilia A. In one study, patients received four weekly doses, and researchers found no safety issues. Notably, there were no bleeding incidents during the treatment. Another study confirmed these results, indicating that efanesoctocog alfa effectively prevents bleeding.
This treatment has already received approval, demonstrating its safety. The current trial is in a late stage, suggesting strong evidence of its safety in humans. Overall, efanesoctocog alfa appears to be a safe choice for managing hemophilia A.12345Why are researchers enthusiastic about this study treatment?
Efanesoctocog Alfa is unique because it offers a potentially longer-lasting treatment option for Hemophilia A. Unlike standard treatments that often require more frequent infusions, Efanesoctocog Alfa is administered once weekly, potentially improving convenience and adherence for patients. Researchers are excited because it uses a novel design to extend the half-life of factor VIII, which could lead to more stable and sustained protection against bleeding episodes. This advancement could significantly enhance the quality of life for those with Hemophilia A by reducing the treatment burden.
What is the effectiveness track record for Efanesoctocog Alfa in treating hemophilia A?
Research has shown that efanesoctocog alfa, the treatment under study in this trial, effectively treats hemophilia A by boosting factor VIII, which is crucial for blood clotting. Studies have found that 88.5% of bleeding episodes stopped with just one dose of this treatment. It is recommended for preventing and treating bleeding in individuals with hemophilia A, ages 2 and up. As a first-in-class therapy, efanesoctocog alfa works in a new or unique way compared to other treatments. It has demonstrated lasting benefits, making it an effective option for managing the condition.16789
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for individuals aged 12 or older with moderate to severe hemophilia A and existing synovial hypertrophy, which means they have swelling in their joints. They should have been on prophylactic treatment for the last year and not planning any major joint procedures. Women who can bear children must agree to use effective contraception.Inclusion Criteria
