New clotting factor shows promise in reducing bleeds for hemophilia a patients
NCT ID NCT04161495
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This phase 3 study tested a new medicine called BIVV001 (efanesoctocog alfa) in 159 people aged 12 and older with severe hemophilia A. The goal was to see if regular injections could prevent bleeding episodes, improve joint health, and enhance quality of life. Participants received the drug intravenously, and researchers measured how many bleeds occurred per year.
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 (BIVV001)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a more effective and longer-lasting treatment option for people with severe hemophilia A, reducing the frequency of bleeding episodes and improving daily life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase 3 trial, but results may not apply to all patients. There is a risk of side effects like allergic reactions or development of inhibitors that block the treatment's effect.

Inclusion criteria: * Participant, male or female, must be equal to or greater than 12 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent. * Severe hemophilia A, defined as less than (\<) 1 international units per deciliter (IU/dL) (\<1 percent \[%\]) endogenous FVIII activity as documented either by central laboratory testing at Screening or in historical medical records from a clinical laboratory demonstrating \<1% FVIII coagulant activity (FVIII:C) or a documented genotype known to produce severe hemophilia A. * Previous treatment for hemophilia A (prophylaxis or on demand) with any recombinant and/or plasma-derived FVIII, or cryoprecipitate for at least 150 exposure days. * Current regimen included one of the following: * Prophylactic treatment regimen with a FVIII product or prophylactic emicizumab therapy for at least 6 months during the previous 12 months. Appropriate washout time needs to be taken into account. * On-demand regimen with a FVIII product with a history of at least 12 bleeding episodes in the previous 12 months or at least 6 bleeding episodes in the previous 6 months prior to study enrollment. * On-demand participant was accepted to move to a prophylaxis treatment regimen after 26-week on-demand period. * Willingness and ability of the participant or surrogate (a caregiver or a family member greater than or equal to \[\>=\] 18 years of age) to complete training in the use of the study electronic Patient Diary (ePD) and to use the ePD throughout the study. * Ability of the participant or his or her legally authorized representative (eg., parent or legal guardian) to understand the purpose and risks of the study, willing and able to comply with study requirements and provide signed and dated informed consent or assent (as applicable) and authorization to use protected health information in accordance with national and local participant privacy regulations. Exclusion criteria: * Clinically significant liver disease. * Serious active bacterial or viral infection (other than chronic hepatitis or HIV) present within 30 days of screening. * Other known coagulation disorder(s) in addition to hemophilia A. * History of hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis associated with any FVIII product. * Positive inhibitor results, defined as \>=0.6 Bethesda unit per milliliter (BU/mL) at screening. History of a positive inhibitor test defined as \>=0.6 BU/mL. Family history of inhibitors would not exclude the participant. * Use of Emicizumab within the 20 weeks prior to screening. * Major surgery within 8 weeks prior to screening. The above information was not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a participant's potential participation in a clinical trial.
