Clinical Trial Summary

In the context of hemophilia, it is well know that the level of factor VIII alone does not reflect the clinical phenotype of the patients in an accurate way. At equal factor VIII levels, certain patients will bleed more than others. The thrombin generation test (TGT) is a test that seems to provide a better prediction of the overall hemostatic status of an individual patient. In a previous study, the investigators have established normal reference values of the thrombin generation curve in children aged 6 months to 16 years and adults. The goal was to evaluate the use of this test in different clinical contexts and in severe hemophilia patients in particular. A pilot study showed that the patients having a thrombin generation <150 had a severe phenotype, whether those who received an appropriate prophylaxy had a thrombin generation superior to 150. Moreover, the investigators now have access to a software tool that allows them to individually determine the pharmacokinetic profile of the factor VIII injected to each patient. The factor VIII concentration is measured at injection and 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and 24 hours afterwards. The introduction of these concentrations in the software allows to obtain the half-life of factor for a given patient, the maximum peak, and the minimum factor level (though level). The injected dosis might be sufficient (disappearance of substantial diminution of the bleedings) or unsufficient (persisting bleeding) for a given patient. This study aims: - to measure the pharmacokinetic profile of factor VIII by two different methods, the time-based method and the chromogenic method - to correlate the results with the TGT results obtained at the same time points and determine which method gives the best correlation - to link the clinical symptomatology (improved symptomatology or not) with the TGT results - to determine which minimal TGT result is linked to a minimal bleeding rate - to adapt the prophylactic dosis of the patient in a personalized way.
