New hope for haemophilia a patients: immune tolerance induction may eliminate clotting factor blockers
NCT ID NCT02207894
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a treatment called immune tolerance induction (ITI) can help people with haemophilia A who have developed inhibitors—antibodies that block standard clotting factor therapy. Researchers will give high doses of individualized factor VIII concentrates to 300 male patients of any age. The goal is to see if ITI can lower inhibitor levels and restore normal clotting factor activity, reducing bleeding episodes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Factor VIII concentrates (individualized selection) and high-dose immune tolerance induction (ITI)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help haemophilia A patients with inhibitors regain effective clotting factor treatment, reducing bleeding risks.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less definitive. ITI can be lengthy and may not work for all patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Based on the decision of the treating physicians in the participating centres, male patients at any age suffering from severe (FVIII activity \< 1%), moderate (FVIII activity \>1% - 5%), or mild (FVIII activity \> 5%) haemophilia A will be included into this post marketing observation if relevant inhibitor levels (\> 0.6 BU) have been detected, or - in case of an inhibitor level \<0.6 BU - with reduced recovery or half-life of FVIII. * The observation is also open for patients who failed an earlier ITI attempt. Exclusion Criteria: * Female
