Study summary

Study Objectives*

  1. Provide a systematic evaluation of the treatment outcomes in patients with hemophilia A
  2. Emphasize the importance and clinical benefits of rFVIII-Fc in joint and bone health.
  3. Compare the clinical outcomes from 1 year before and after switching to EHL.
  4. Exploratory: Identify biomarkers that could provide more useful and convenient evaluations of joint and bone health. (Time-saving and easy to monitor)
Read the detailed description

In this study, we would like to focus on the evaluation of joint and bone health in persons with severe hemophilia A (PwHA) treated with rFVIIIFc prophylaxis. We also aim to identify potential biomarkers for assessing the joint and bone health of PwHA. Since the joint and bone health examinations are time-consuming, expensive, and require special equipment, the patients could only receive the examinations annually to realize the status of their joint health. The biomarkers testing will provide a more convenient and time-saving option on the joint and bone health evaluation for PwHA. Therefore, surrogate of biochemical marker(s) to represent the joint and BMD progression is an unmet need for clinical practice. Investigating different biomarkers and combining them with the joint and BMD results to provide a systematic approach for elucidating the treatment outcomes of PwHA treated with rFVIIIFc is major goal of this study.

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

Started Jul 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2027, 53 months after the start.

Of 78 non-industry observational studies under Hemophilia A, half reached primary completion within 36 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 96. This study's planned 53 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 131 studies reached it within 45 months; a quarter within 25 and three quarters within 79.

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 Apr 10, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
