Research Study to Look at How Well the Drug Concizumab Works in Your Body if You Have Haemophilia Without Inhibitors

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

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.

Study 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 8 years. The length of time the participant will be in the study depends on when they agreed to take part and when the medicine is available for purchase in their country (or 31 December 2027 at the latest). 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.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Haemophilia A Participants Without Inhibitors: Rate of Treated Spontaneous and Traumatic Bleeding Episodes — On demand (arm 1): From week 0 up until start of concizumab treatment (week 24); Concizumab (arm 2): From week 0 up until the confirmatory analyses cut-off
  Rate of treated spontaneous and traumatic bleeding episodes for haemophilia A participants without inhibitors is presented. The observation period used for reporting this endpoint is on-treatment without ancillary therapy excluding data before restart (OTwoATexBR). It is defined as the time period after the restart where participants are treated by concizumab treatment or are treated by on-demand treatment and additionally have not used factor-containing products not related to treatment of a bleeding episode. The data is reported in the terms of annualised bleeding rate (ABR). Week 0 is defined as time of randomisation to on-demand administration after the pause or time of start of the new concizumab dosing regimen. Confirmatory analyses cut-off was defined as when all participants on no PPX (arm 1) had completed the 24-week visit or withdrawn and all participants on concizumab PPX (in arms 2 and 4) had completed the 32-week visit or withdrawn.
• Haemophilia B Participants Without Inhibitors: Rate of Treated Spontaneous and Traumatic Bleeding Episodes — On demand (arm 1): From week 0 up until start of concizumab treatment (week 24); Concizumab (arm 2): From week 0 up until the confirmatory analyses cut-off
  Rate of treated spontaneous and traumatic bleeding episodes for haemophilia B participants without inhibitors is presented. The observation period used for reporting this endpoint is OTwoATexBR. It is defined as the time period after the restart where participants are treated by concizumab treatment or are treated by on-demand treatment and additionally have not used factor-containing products not related to treatment of a bleeding episode. The data is reported in the terms of ABR. Week 0 is defined as time of randomisation to on-demand administration after the pause or time of start of the new concizumab dosing regimen. Confirmatory analyses cut-off was defined as when all participants on no PPX (arm 1) had completed the 24-week visit or withdrawn and all participants on concizumab PPX (in arms 2 and 4) had completed the 32-week visit or withdrawn.
