Summary

This trial will look at the effect of a new drug, emicizumab, on people with severe hemophilia A. The goal is to see if it improves overall health, physical activity, and joint outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 13-69 with severe or moderate Hemophilia A without Factor VIII inhibitors. They must have no history of FVIII inhibitory antibodies in the last 5 years, adequate organ function, and agree to use contraception if applicable. Excluded are those planning major joint procedures, with uncontrolled diseases like cardiovascular issues or HIV not managed by medication, or who've had certain treatments that might interfere with the study.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Emicizumab prophylaxis on overall health, physical activity, and joint outcomes in participants. It's an open-label Phase IV study where all participants receive Emicizumab to see how it affects their condition compared to previous standard treatments they were receiving.
What are the potential side effects?
Emicizumab may cause injection site reactions, headaches, fatigue, muscle pain. Rare but serious side effects include blood clots and allergic reactions. Participants will be monitored closely for any adverse effects throughout the study.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort 3, Hemophilia A and with Osteochondral Damage: EmicizumabExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Cohort 3 comprises participants with severe or moderate hemophilia A and with osteochondral damage (HEAD-US bone and cartilage score of ≥1) in at least one index joint and with any synovitis score.
Group II: Cohort 2, Hemophilia A and with Synovitis Only: EmicizumabExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Cohort 2 comprises participants with severe or moderate hemophilia A and with synovitis (HEAD-US synovitis score of ≥1) in at least one index joint and no osteochondral damage (HEAD-US bone and cartilage score of 0).
Group III: Cohort 1, Hemophilia A and Without Arthropathy: EmicizumabExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Cohort 1 comprises participants with severe or moderate hemophilia A and with no synovitis and no osteochondral damage (Haemophilia Early Arthropathy Detection with Ultrasound \[HEAD-US\] score of 0) in all index joints.
