In plain English
This study looks at women and girls aged 12 or over with haemophilia A who need treatment with a factor VIII (a blood-clotting protein) medicine called Nuwiq for surgery. It aims to record the doses used and the results of treatment. It is run by the company Octapharma.
Who can take part
- Women or girls with haemophilia A, based on medical history. Those with factor VIII levels between 40% and 50% may also join if they have a history of significant bleeding and/or have needed (or would have benefited from) factor VIII treatment before.
- Aged at least 12 years.
- Due to have major surgery that needs factor VIII treatment, including planned or emergency operations and caesarean sections in pregnant women with haemophilia A.
- Able to give written informed consent (or a parent or legal representative gives it, where the rules allow).
Who may not be able to
- Having a blood-clotting disorder other than haemophilia A.
- Having now or in the past an inhibitor (an antibody) against factor VIII.
- Severe liver or kidney disease (shown by certain blood test results).
- Known allergy to Nuwiq or any of its ingredients.
- Being pregnant, unless a caesarean section is planned.
- Already having had surgery in this study.
- Currently taking part in another clinical trial of a treatment.
- Having taken an investigational (experimental) medicine within 30 days before the screening visit.
What taking part involves
- • Treatment with Nuwiq, a factor VIII medicine, around the time of major surgery.
- • Recording of the doses given and the results of treatment.

About This Trial
Recombinant factor VIII for the prevention of bleeding in women/girls with haemophilia A undergoing major surgery
More detail
Female patients with mild to moderate haemophilia A will often need FVIII concentrates to provide haemostatic cover during major surgery. This prospective, open-label, non-controlled, single-arm, multinational, multicentre study aims to evaluate the overall perioperative haemostatic efficacy of Nuwiq in women/girls over 12 with haemophilia A undergoing major surgery requiring FVIII treatment
