Study on the efficacy and safety of Concizumab in patients with hemophilia A and B without inhibitors.
Summary description of the study
This study investigates the new drug Concizumab, which must be injected subcutaneously once daily. Concizumab belongs to a group of medications known as antibodies. Once in the bloodstream, Concizumab binds to and blocks a molecule that inhibits blood coagulation. Blocking this inhibition promotes blood coagulation and thus prevents bleeding episodes. The aim of the study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of Concizumab in patients with severe hemophilia A or severe to moderate hemophilia B without inhibitors, by comparing the number of bleeding episodes to previous treatments. This is an international study that will be conducted at several study centers worldwide. A total of 158 men and boys will participate in this study.

Intervention under investigation
The total study duration for each patient is approximately 170 weeks.
The study includes a three-week screening phase, during which it is determined whether patients are eligible for the study. Eligible patients then begin, depending on the study arm, a dose adjustment phase of up to 8 weeks.
In the main phase of the study, Concizumab will be investigated for 24 weeks in four study arms:
1. Arm: Patients remain on their previous on-demand treatment and do not receive Concizumab.
2./3./4. Arm: Patients receive a daily individualized dose of Concizumab.
In the subsequent extension phase, all patients (Arm 1-4) receive an individualized dose of Concizumab. The follow-up phase lasts 7 weeks, during which patients return to their original treatment. The study concludes with a final visit.
Overall, the study includes 27 visits to the study center within 170 weeks.
During the visits to the study center, various assessments (e.g., height, weight, ECG) are performed, as well as blood samples taken.

Disease under investigation
Congenital severe hemophilia A without inhibitors Congenital severe/moderate hemophilia B without inhibitors
(BASEC)
• Diagnosis of congenital severe hemophilia A (FVIII less than 1%) or moderate/severe congenital hemophilia B (FIX less than or equal to 2%). • Male patients aged 12 years or older at the time of signing the informed consent (in Switzerland, only adult patients are included). • Body weight greater than 25 kg at the time of screening. • Documented treatment with a coagulation factor preparation in the last 24 weeks. (BASEC)
Exclusion criteria
• Known other congenital or acquired coagulation disorder other than hemophilia. • History of thromboembolic disease or current clinical signs or treatment of thromboembolic disease. Patients who, in the judgment of the study physician, are considered at high risk for thromboembolic events. • Confirmed inhibitor greater than or equal to 0.6 BU at the time of screening. • Known or suspected hypersensitivity to any component of the study product or related products.
