Hemophilia a bone health under the microscope: which treatment wins?
NCT ID NCT07582276
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will follow 50 men with severe hemophilia A for five years to compare bone density between those taking emicizumab and those taking efanesoctocog alfa. Researchers will also measure bone remodeling markers and joint health. The goal is to see if one treatment is linked to better bone outcomes, which could help doctors choose the best therapy for long-term bone health.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- emicizumab or efanesoctocog alfa
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could show which hemophilia A treatment better protects bone health, potentially guiding future therapy choices.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures bone changes, so it won't directly improve health. Results may take years and might not lead to clear conclusions.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. The participant or legally authorized representative is willing and able to provide written informed consent. 2. Diagnosis of severe hemophilia A (factor VIII activity \< 1%). 3. Male sex. 4. Age between 30 and 50 years (inclusive). 5. BMI between 18.5 and 40 kg/m2 6. The participant must have been on prophylaxis with Efanesoctocog alfa or Emicizumab for at least 3 months prior to enrollment and intend to remain on the current regimen for the next 5 years. 7. Willingness to undergo all research procedures, including DEXA scans and the collection of blood samples. 8. Willingness to complete all standard-of-care bleeding and treatment logs. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Unwillingness of the participant, parent, or legally authorized representative to provide informed consent. 2. Diagnosis of a bleeding disorder other than or in addition to severe hemophilia A. 3. Active Factor VIII inhibitors at the time of enrollment 4. History of a disease known to influence bone metabolism unrelated to a bleeding disorder. (Examples: Paget's disease, osteogenesis imperfecta, Ehlers Danlos syndrome, Hyperparathyroidism) 5. Past or present treatment with any anti-osteoporotic medication, excluding oral vitamin D or oral calcium supplements. 6. Documented HIV infection or HCV infection (whether in progress or cured) at the cirrhotic stage. 7. Presence of a non-removable metal device that would interfere with research procedures. 8. Inability to tolerate a DEXA scan due to limited range of motion or body habitus. 9. History of bone fractures or surgical repair within 8 weeks prior to enrollment. 10. Participants with weight \>300 pounds, due to limitations of DEXA scanner
