About this study

Non-interventional study: subjects to be selected according to the usual clinical practice of their physician

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients with hemophilia A of any severity already receiving or starting treatment with ReFacto AF.

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients with Hemophilia A treated with a product other than Refacto AF.

Treatment and study plan

ReFacto AF (Moroctocog alfa)

Drug

Patients will be treated with intravenous infusion of ReFacto AF per dosing and frequency as prescribed by the subjects' treating physician. ReFacto AF® will be prescribed in the context of routine clinical practice in Germany and Austria, respectively

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Time frame: Baseline until last visit (up to 87 months)

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study treatment without regard to possibility of causal relationship. SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability or incapacity; cancer; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to last visit (up to 87 months) that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. AEs included both serious and non-serious adverse events.

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Time frame: Baseline until last visit (up to 87 months)

    Treatment-related AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; cancer; congenital anomaly. AEs included both serious and non-serious adverse events. Relatedness of AEs with Refacto AF was assessed by the investigator.

  3. Number of Participants With Factor VIII (FVIII) Inhibitor Development as Measured by the Nijmegen-Modified Bethesda Assay

    Time frame: Baseline until last visit (up to 87 months)

    FVIII inhibitor development was defined as measured inhibitor titer of greater than (>) 0.6 Bethesda Units (BU) using the Nijmegen-modified Bethesda assay.

  4. Mean Total Number of Bleeding Episodes in Participants

    Time frame: Baseline until last visit (up to 87 months)

    Participants documented all bleeding episodes in a diary during the study.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Mean Total Number of Bleeding Episodes Per Year in Participants

    Time frame: Baseline until last visit (up to 87 months)

    Participants documented all bleeding episodes in a diary during the study. Mean total number of bleeding episodes per year was calculated as: mean total number of bleeding episodes divided by duration of observation period (in years) for bleeding documentation.

  2. Number of Participants With Change From Baseline Status in Days Missed From School or Work

    Time frame: Baseline until last visit (up to 87 months)

    Change from baseline status in days missed from school or work was categorized in 3 categories: Improvement, unchanged and worsening. Improvement defined as a decrease in number of days missed by participants from school/work as compared to baseline; worsening was defined as an increase in number of days missed by participants from school/work as compared to baseline; unchanged was defined as no change in number of days missed by participants from school/work as compared to baseline. In this outcome measure, number of participants with change from baseline status (as improved, worsen, unchanged) in days missed from school/work were reported.

  3. Participant Assessment of Satisfaction With Treatment Handling

    Time frame: End of study visit (any time up to 87 months)

    Participants evaluated their satisfaction with handing (administration) of Refacto AF and rated it in 4 categories as: very satisfied, satisfied, unsatisfied and very unsatisfied.

  4. Investigator Assessment of Treatment Satisfaction of Participants

    Time frame: End of study visit (any time up to 87 months)

    Investigator assessed the treatment satisfaction of participants and categorized as very satisfied, satisfied, unsatisfied, or very unsatisfied.
