A Trial Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Prophylactic Administration of Concizumab in Haemophilia A and B Patients With Inhibitors

This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. The aim of the trial is to assess the efficacy of concizumab administered s.c. (subcutaneously, under the skin) once daily in preventing bleeding episodes in haemophilia A and B patients with inhibitors.

Treatment and study plan

Concizumab

Drug

A loading dose of 0.5 mg/kg will be given as the first dose, followed by 0.15 mg/kg (with potential stepwise dose escalation to 0.25 mg/kg) administered daily s.c. (subcutaneously, under the skin). Treatment duration is 24 weeks in the main trial, and up to 52 weeks in the extension phase

Eptacog alfa

Drug

A single dose of 90 μg/kg eptacog alfa one week after dosing with concizumab. On-demand treatment during bleeding episodes in both treatment arms
