A 12-month, Interventional, Open-label, Phase 4 Study in Europe (SHINE) to Investigate the Course of Synovial Hypertrophy as Detected by Joint Ultrasound and MRI in Patients With Haemophilia A on Efanesoctocog Alfa Prophylaxis.
The rationale for conducting this open-label phase 4 study is to assess whether once-weekly prophylaxis with efanesoctocog alfa (50 IU/kg) improves the disease course of existing synovial hypertrophy and prevents the risk of joint bleeds in patients with moderate or severe haemophilia A. The use of imaging assessments will allow for objective detection and monitoring of synovial hypertrophy, and thus expand on the previous findings demonstrating positive effects of once-weekly prophylaxis with efanesoctocog alfa (50 IU/kg) on joint health.
• Capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in the protocol. Parents' or legally designated representatives' consent is required for patients who are \<18 years of age or unable to give consent, or as applicable per local laws. Patients who are \<18 years of age should provide assent in addition to the parents'/legally designated representatives' consent, if appropriate.
• Male or female patients who are ≥12 years of age and diagnosed with moderate or severe haemophilia A (defined as ≤5% of normal FVIII clotting activity) at the time of signing the ICF.
• A female patient is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant at enrolment and does not plan to become pregnant during the study. A woman of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative highly sensitive serum pregnancy test at the Screening Visit.
• Must have received prophylactic treatment per local label with any marketed FVIII product or emicizumab for ≥12 months prior to the Baseline Visit.
• Have at least one eligible index joint (ankle, elbow, knee).
• Have 12 months of documented pre-study treatment data on haemophilia prescriptions and on treated bleeding episodes prior to the Baseline Visit.
• Willingness and the ability of the patient or their legally designated representative to complete training in the use of the study patient diary and to complete the diary throughout the study.
