An Open-Label Study of the Hemostatic Activity, Pharmacokinetics and Safety of OBI-1 (B-Domain Deleted Recombinant Porcine FVIII), When Administered by Intravenous Injection, to Control Non-Life and Non-Limb Threatening Bleeding Episodes in Congenital Hemophilia A Patients With an Inhibitor to Human FVIII
The ability of a new recombinant porcine coagulation factor VIII, B-domain deleted (called OBI-1), to control the non-life- or limb-threatening bleeding episodes patients with hemophilia A commonly develop is being evaluated. Patients with congenital hemophilia A and a low-titer (<20 Bethesda units [Bu]) inhibitory antibody to OBI-1, who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria, will receive OBI-1 to treat their soft tissue or joint bleeding episode. At least the first two treatment episodes will be performed in the controlled setting of the hemophilia center/clinic/office, where any side effects can be observed. If the patient continues to meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria, has had no serious or severe adverse reactions to OBI-1, and has been in a home care program, the investigator may permit the patient to self-administer OBI-1 at home to treat subsequent bleeding episodes. The study will continue at least until 12 or more patients have received at least 24 treatment episodes in the aggregate.
