Weekly shot may protect joints in hemophilia a
NCT ID NCT06941870
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a once-weekly infusion of efanesoctocog alfa can improve joint swelling (synovial hypertrophy) in people with moderate to severe hemophilia A. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure changes in joint health over 12 months. The trial enrolls 35 participants aged 12 and older who already have joint swelling.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Efanesoctocog alfa (a clotting factor medicine given intravenously once a week)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that weekly infusions of efanesoctocog alfa reduce joint damage and improve joint health in people with hemophilia A.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 35 participants and no comparison group. It may not prove long-term benefit or work for everyone. Risks include infusion reactions and potential for developing inhibitors.

Inclusion Criteria: Participant is diagnosed with moderate to severe hemophilia A (defined as less than or equal to (≤)5 percent (%) of endogenous FVIII clotting activity) at the time of consent/assent. Participant is more than or equal to (≥)12 years old at the time of consent/assent. Participant has existing synovial hypertrophy, defined as at least 1 eligible\* joint by the HEAD-US score (Synovitis score: 1 or 2) at the time of consent/assent. Participant has at least 1 eligible\* joint without planned future major orthopedic procedures (example, arthroscopic synovectomy, radioisotopic or chemical synoviorthesis), or major orthopedic procedures in the past 3 months prior to the screening visit (Visit 1). \*An eligible joint is a joint with existing synovial hypertrophy, as defined by a HEAD-US synovitis score of 1 or 2, considering hypertrophic synovium as an indication of the presence of synovitis Participant has received prophylactic treatment with hemophilia prophylaxis prescriptions in the last 12 months prior to the baseline visit (Visit 2). Participant is capable of understanding the written Informed Consent Form (ICF)/assent form, provides a signed and witnessed written ICF/assent form, and agrees to comply with the protocol requirements. If male, no contraceptive measures are required for this study. If female, is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and one of the following conditions applies: Is a women of nonchildbearing potential (WONCBP) Is a women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and agrees to use a highly effective contraceptive method, with a failure rate of less than (\<)1 percent during the study treatment period (at least until the Week 52/ End of Treatment \[EoT\] visit). A WOCBP must have a negative serum pregnancy test at the screening visit (Visit 1) Exclusion Criteria: Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply: Has other associated clotting disorders at the time of consent/assent. Is already under efanesoctocog alfa treatment. Has a current diagnosis of an factor VIII (FVIII) inhibitor, defined as inhibitor titer ≥0.60 BU/mL. Has ITI within the last 2 years prior to the baseline visit (Visit 2). Has been enrolled in a concurrent clinical interventional study or exposed to other investigational drug(s) within 3 months prior to screening for this study. Is currently in an institution because of regulatory or legal order (that is, is a prisoner or a patient who is legally institutionalized). Is not suitable for participation, whatever the reason, as judged by the investigator, including medical or clinical conditions, or patients potentially at risk of noncompliance to study procedures. Is an employee or family member of the investigator or site personnel. Is involved in a specific situation during study implementation or the course of the study that may raise ethics considerations. Has hypersensitivity to efanesoctocog alfa or its components or any of its excipients that, in the opinion of the investigator, contraindicates participation in the study.
