Hemophilia is an inherited disease caused by deficiency in varying degrees of clotting factors VIII and IX. Depending on the percentage of clotting factor in the blood the disease is categorized as "severe" (<1%, characterized by spontaneous bleedings), "moderate" (1-5%) and "mild" (>5%). If untreated, recurrent bleeding into the synovial joints often results in irreversible damage due to destruction of the cartilages and progressive joint impairment. 3d-gait analysis has been demonstrated as valid method to assess abnormal gait patterns and to monitor disease progression in patients with hemophilia (PWH). Furthermore, its outcomes facilitate the design of individually tailored therapeutic programs. In contrast to radiological examinations, 3d-gait analyses take place under weight-bearing conditions, which is a relevant issue in terms of weight-induced pain. This study aims to explore the applicability of 3-d gait analysis as biomarker (gait deviation index) for functional impairments in PWH. Besides 3-d gait scores, secondary endpoints such as biomarkers reflecting cartilage damage and a laterality-ratio of leg muscle mass (in the case of one-sided target joints) will be tested for their ability to detect functional impairments in young adults with hemophilia. Based on sample size calculation, 24 subjects aged 16-49 years, able to walk without aids or assistance will be included in each of the two groups: control (healthy, male), PWH (severe or moderate, treated prophylactically). Subjects suffering from functional impairments caused by other conditions than hemophilia, patients with bleedings within 30 days prior to the examination, PWH treated with immune-tolerance therapy and/or not successfully treated present or past high-titer factor VIII or FIX inhibitor will be excluded. Subjects will pass through a set of examinations (medical history, clinical examination, 3d-gait analysis, anthropometrics, body composition analysis, venipuncture, and urine sampling) and carry an accelerometer device for seven consecutive days. Confounder adjusted group differences will be assessed by ANCOVA with contrasts and Bonferroni correction. Correlations between the applied examination approaches will be assessed. An evidence based health promotion program including follow-up examinations, physical activity promotion, and tailored physiotherapy are being envisaged as a follow-up project (JOSEPHA phase 2).
Repeated hemarthroses in patients with hemophilia may lead to hemophilic arthropathy with marked inflammation and synovial hypertrophy. Power Doppler ultrasonography is a useful tool in hemophilic arthropathy for assessment of disease activity and for monitoring response to treatment. Imaging inflammation with glucose analogue fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) is based on that infiltrated granulocytes and tissue macrophages use glucose as an energy source. Metabolism and 18F-FDG uptake increase when inflammation occurring. The purpose of this study is to investigate the associations between 18F-FDG PET/CT and Power Doppler assessment in patients with hemophilic arthropathy.
Prenancy and specialy delivery for hemophilia mother and her children possibly hemophilia is risked. Diagnostical of hemophilia pregnan is the first difficulty but patients with hemorrhagic menstruation without etiology known, hemorrhagic complication during a chirurgical procedure or during previously pregnancy currently are examine in Haemostasis consultation. None French recommendation specifie for health practice of these hemophilia patients exists. However, Anglo-Saxon recommendations are published in 2011. The objective of this study is to realize a French investigation of health practice about hemophilia care of these patients and to compare them with the English reference table.
The purpose of this feasibility study is to find out if two clotting factor products, Eloctate [hemophilia A] and Alprolix [hemophilia B], can reduce the amount of menstrual bleeding in female hemophilia A and B carriers (14 years of age or older) who have severe or heavy bleeding. These products are FDA-approved for use in males with hemophilia A and B to prevent and treat bleeding. They are not approved specifically to reduce menstrual bleeding, but may be useful for this purpose. Both products have an "extended half life" which means they circulate in the body longer than other FVIII or FIX products. The study team will gather additional information about the safety of these drugs and how well they work. The results of this feasibility study will provide information for an upcoming larger study.
Life expectancy of haemophilia patients (specially severe) has dramatically increase in the last decades, which lead to the apparition of aging diseases such as cardiovascular disease, with the potential bleeding risk of antiplatelet therapies and anticoagulants. The primary endpoint of the study is to evaluate this bleeding risk in haemophilia patients (all severity) with such treatment in comparison to non treated patients, according to the number of bleeding events in the last year reported by the haemophilia patients under study treatment (antiplatelet and anticoagulant) in comparison to haemophilia patients free of such treatment. The main hypothesis is that antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy can be safely used in minor haemophilia patients but might lead to increase bleeding risk in other haemophilia patients. Secondary endpoint consist in: - Evaluate the impact of know cardio-vascular risk in haemophilia patients (Odd ratios=OR) - Evaluate the number of sever bleeding event in patient under study treatments compared to the control group - Evaluate the overall consumption of factor VIII or IX supply in patients under study treatments compared to control group - Estimate the stenosis relapse risk in haemophilia patients with arterial STENT - Estimate the embolic risk of haemophilia patients with atrial fibrillation Population description: Haemophilia patients (man, all severity) Age above 50 years, followed during the last 5 years in one of the study centre
Introduction: The common clinical manifestations of hemophilia are skeletal muscle bleeds, especially hematomas and hemarthrosis. Repeated episodes of joint bleeding in certain joints, causing a progressive joint deterioration. Secondary disorders to this joint degeneration include: biomechanical alterations, loss of range of movement and periarticular muscle atrophy. Design. A prospective, multicenter and longitudinal pilot study to evaluate the efficacy of a treatment protocol with fascial therapy applied in patients with hemophilic arthropathy of the elbow. Aimed: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a physiotherapy treatment by fascial therapy in patients with hemophilic arthropathy of the elbow Patients: A total of 60 patients with hemophilia and prophylactic treatment will be recruited for inclusion in the study. Patients will be recruited in 6 centers, from different regions of Spain. Intervention: Each session will last approximately 50 minutes, with three physiotherapy sessions taking place over a period of 3 weeks. The treatment program includes 11 maneuvers that must be administered bilaterally: Measuring instruments and study variables: goniometric evaluation (range of movement); visual analog scale (joint pain); Haemophilia Joint Health Score (joint status); DASH Questionnaire (functionality of upper limbs); SF-36 Questionnaire (perception of quality of life). At the same time, the study will allow to determine joint bleeding caused by applied physiotherapy treatment. Expected results: First, it is intended to demonstrate the safety of this physiotherapy technique in patients with hemophilia. Likewise, an improvement in the perception of elbow pain and joint mobility is expected. An improved functionality of the upper limb is also foreseen and with it, an enhanced perception of quality of life of these patients.
The purpose of this study is to describe the pharmacokinetic profile of patients with hemophilia A in prophylaxis in Spain using myPKFit®
Severe hemophilia is characterized by frequent and lifelong bleeding, with more than 60% of bleeds occurring into joints . Repeated joint bleeding leads to chronic synovitis, cartilage damage and bony destruction. Currently available treatment of hemophilic arthropathy, such as analgesics, NSAIDs, and hyaluronic acid (HA), are predominantly directed toward the symptomatic relief of pain and inflammation, but they do little to reduce joint cartilage degeneration. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a simple and minimally invasive method that provides a natural concentrate of autologous growth factors from the blood. This method is now being increasingly applied in clinical practice to treat musculoskeletal disorders, such as tendon repairment and osteoarthritis. To the best of our knowledge, no study applies PRP for arthropathy of knee joint in hemophilia patients. The aim of the study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and duration of benefit of single PRP injection versus five weekly intra-articular injections of HA in patients with hemophilic arthropathy of knee.
