Study summary

Primary Objective:

-To evaluate the efficacy of fitusiran compared to on-demand treatment with factor concentrates, as determined by the frequency of bleeding episodes.

Secondary Objectives:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of fitusiran compared to on-demand treatment with factor concentrates, as determined by:

    • The frequency of spontaneous bleeding episodes.
    • The frequency of joint bleeding episodes.
    • Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in participants >=17 years of age.
  • To determine the frequency of bleeding episodes during the onset period.
  • To determine the safety and tolerability of fitusiran.
Read the detailed description

The duration of treatment with fitusiran was 9 months. The estimated total time on study, inclusive of screening, was up to 11 months for all participants in the factor on-demand arm and for participants in the fitusiran arm who enrolled in the extension study (LTE15174). The estimated total time on the study was up to 17 months for participants in the fitusiran treatment arm who did not enroll in the extension study due to the requirement for up to an additional 6 months of follow-up monitoring for antithrombin levels.

Participants who completed the study will be eligible for an open-label extension study LTE15174 (NCT03754790).

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Spontaneous bleeding episode was bleeding event that occurred for no apparent or known reason, into joints, muscles, and soft tissues. It started from the first sign of a bleed and ended no more than 72 hours after the last treatment for the bleed, within which any symptoms of bleeding at the same location or injections \<=72 hours apart were considered the same bleeding episode. EP: time duration starting from Day 29 when the AT lowering capacity of fitusiran had achieved therapeutic target range to earliest of Day 246 or the last day of bleeding follow up (maximum duration of EP: from Day 29 to Day 246).This OM presents observed results (i.e., descriptive statistics values based on data collected during EP).

SecondaryEstimated Annualized Joint Bleeding Rate for Treated Bleeds During the Efficacy Period

Annualized joint bleeding rate for a participant during EP was defined as annualized number of bleeding episodes during EP annualized to a 1-year interval of time. Joint bleeding episode was characterized by an unusual sensation in the joint ("aura") in combination with 1) increasing swelling or warmth over the skin, joint, 2) increasing pain, or 3) progressive loss of range of motion or difficulty in using the limb as compared with Baseline. It started from first sign of a bleed and ended no more than 72 hours after last treatment for the bleed. EP was defined as time duration starting from Day 29 when the AT lowering capacity of fitusiran had achieved therapeutic target range to the earliest of Day 246 or the last day of bleeding follow up (maximum duration of EP: from Day 29 to Day 246).

SecondaryHealth-related Quality of Life (HRQOL): Change From Baseline in Haemophilia Quality of Life Questionnaire for Adults (Haem-A-QOL) Physical Health Score at Month 9

Haem-A-QoL: participant-reported questionnaire designed for adult participants (\>=17 years of age) with hemophilia; and consisted of 46 items comprising 10 domains (physical health, feelings, view of yourself, sports and leisure, work and school, dealing with hemophilia, treatment, future, family planning, partnership and sexuality). Scoring for each item was based on a 5-point Likert scale (1= never, 2= rarely, 3= sometimes, 4= often, and 5=all the time), and higher scores represented greater impairment. Change from baseline in physical health domain score was reported in this outcome measure. Raw score for physical health domain were transformed to a scale ranged from 0 (better health outcome) to 100 (worst health outcome), where lower scores denoted better physical health.

SecondaryEstimated Annualized Bleeding Rate (ABR) for Treated Bleeds During the Onset Period

ABR was annualized number of bleeding episodes during onset period per participant annualized to a 1-year interval of time. A treated bleeding episode was defined as any occurrence of hemorrhage that required administration of BPA or factor. It started from the first sign of a bleed and ended no more than 72 hours after the last treatment for the bleed, within which any symptoms of bleeding at the same location or injections \<=72 hours apart were considered the same bleeding episode. The onset period was defined as time interval from Day 1 to the earlier of Day 28 or the last day of bleeding follow up. This OM presents estimated results (i.e., results received by applying NB regression model on data collected during onset period).

SecondaryNumber of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. Treatment-emergent AEs were defined as any AE with onset date after first dose of fitusiran in the fitusiran prophylaxis arm or after Day 1 visit in the factor on-demand arm. A serious AE (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, was a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or was a medically important event.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Mar 2018 to primary completion in Jan 2021, 34 months.

Results were first posted in Feb 2022, 1 year after primary completion.

Of 89 industry-sponsored phase 3 interventional studies under Hemophilia A, half reached primary completion within 32 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 56. This study's 34 months is close to that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 91 studies reached it within 33 months; a quarter within 20 and three quarters within 56.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 28, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
