Clinical Trial Summary

Background of the study:

To measure blood clotting, blood is taken from a vein. This blood is processed in the laboratory and then tested. A new device has been developed that requires only a very small volume of blood (5-10 drops of blood) to perform the laboratory tests. The long-term goal is that this device can be used by a doctor or at home to quickly measure blood clotting. In this research we want to compare this new system with the standard methods - measurement in the laboratory - and evaluate whether the correct value is determined.

Objective of the study:

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that the EnzySystem HemA version A can record thrombin generation TG and quantify FVIII activity levels within a time frame of 60 min in fresh whole blood samples of healthy volunteers and patients with hemophilia A in the Enzyre laboratory (for healthy volunteers) and the Radboudumc (for patients with hemophilia A).

Study design:

This is a cross-sectional observational study. All participants are asked to fill a questionnaire prior to blood collection. The blood of healthy volunteers will be collected in an office of Enzyre BV, the blood of patients will be collected in the Radboudumc. Blood collection, by venepuncture, will be conducted by a Radboudumc research nurse or physician of the research team in both locations. In total, four blood tubes with citrate as anticoagulant will be drawn (a total of around 11 mL).

Study population:

The study population consists of 20 healthy volunteers: evenly distributed between male and female; ages spread over the range from 20 to 70 years old; recruited by Enzyre via advertisement. 20 Patients: 5 severe hemophilia A; 5 moderate hemophilia A; 10 mild hemophilia A; recruited from the Hemophilia Treatment Center (HTC) Nijmegen-Eindhoven-Maastricht (NEM) (location Radboudumc).

Primary study parameters/outcome of the study:

Demonstrate that the EnzySystem HemA version A can record TG and quantitative FVIII activity levels within a time frame of 60 min in fresh blood samples of healthy volunteers and patients with hemophilia A.

Secondary study parameters/outcome of the study (if applicable):

Secondary study parameters are composed whether the measured values comply with the desired assay specificity and accuracy.

Outcomes are analysed for equivalence compared to one-stage FVIII assay, FVIII chromogenic assay, thrombin generation via the Nijmegen Hemostasis Assay, and possibly via the Technoclone assay.

Is it possible to measure FVIII activity with the EnzySystem HemA version A in fresh blood samples of healthy volunteers and patients with hemophilia A, compared to the gold standard with;

• Precision in the normal range (60-140%): min. 30%

• Precision in the low range (3-10%): min. 50%

• Limit of Detection range min. 100 % FVIII activity

• Limit of Detection low range min. 3 % FVIII activity Is it possible to measure TG with the EnzySystem HemA version A in fresh blood samples of healthy volunteers and patients with hemophilia A, compared to the gold standard with;

• Precision in the normal range (60-140%) of control samples: min. 30%

• Precision in patient with hemophilia A: min. 50%

• Limit of Detection, high range > 400 nM thrombin activity

• Limit of Detection measured with Plasma, low range < 50 nM thrombin

Other study parameters All samples will also be tested for other hemostasis specific parameters as these parameters may affect a proper measurement of both FVIII activity and Thrombin Generation. The following parameters will be measured in plasma obtained from the whole blood vacutainers. Moreover, left over samples (plasma) will eventually be used to develop other coagulation related parameters.

• von Willebrand Factor antigen levels

• von Willebrand Factor ristocetin activity levels

• Prothrombin Fragment 1+2 levels

• ADAMTS13 activity

• FVIII antigen levels

• blood group
