Study summary

The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the quality of life in patients with congenital afibrinogenemia using the Haemo-QoL SF for kids and the Haem-A-QoL for adult patients.

Read the detailed description

In this observational study, children and adults suffering from congenital afibrinogenemia confirmed by biology will be enrolled. All patients will receive a questionnaire on quality of life in their own language during a routine visit and filled out by the patient at home. A general questionnaire will be filled out by the patient's physician.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The influence of the afibrinogenemia on the patients' quality of life assessed by the Haemo-QoL SF questionnaire (for children) and the Haem-A-QoL questionnaire (for adult)

    The quality of life questionnaire includes item assessing: * Physical health * Feeling * View * Family * Friends * Others * Sport and school * Treatment * Perceived support * Dealing * Future * Relationship

    Time frame: At inclusion

Secondary outcomes

  1. Impact of the afibrinogenemic patient's clinical phenotype on the patients' quality of life

    The clinical phenotype will be assessed by a general questionnaire including data on: * Bleeding events * Bleeding events treatment * Thrombotic events * Thrombotic events treatment * Fibrinogen replacement (type of product and modality of replacement)

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 Nov 12, 2020, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
