Open-Label Extension Study of Marstacimab in Hemophilia Participants With or Without Inhibitors
This study, called B7841007, is continuing to look at a medicine called marstacimab. It's for people with haemophilia A or B who have already taken part in previous studies of this medicine (B7841005 and B7841008). The main goal is to check how safe marstacimab is over a long time and if it continues to help prevent bleeding episodes effectively. It's an 'open-label' study, meaning everyone knows they are getting the active medicine. This research helps us understand more about using marstacimab as a regular treatment to protect people with haemophilia in the long run. Participants will receive marstacimab using either a pre-filled pen or syringe.
At a glance
What is this study about?
This study is important because it's looking at a new medicine called marstacimab for people with haemophilia A or B. Haemophilia is a condition where your blood doesn't clot properly, leading to longer bleeding. Marstacimab is being tested to see if it can help prevent these bleeding episodes.
This particular study is a 'long-term' study, which means it follows people who have already taken part in earlier studies of marstacimab. The main aim is to carefully check if the medicine is safe and if it continues to work well over a longer period. It's especially looking at how well it prevents bleeds and what side effects might happen.
The study includes children from 1 year old up to adults aged 74. Participants will receive marstacimab as an injection, using either a pre-filled pen or a pre-filled syringe, depending on what works best for them and what's available. The information gathered from this study will help us understand more about using marstacimab every day for people living with haemophilia.
Key takeaways
- This study is looking at the long-term safety and effectiveness of marstacimab for haemophilia A or B.
- It's an extension study for people who previously participated in earlier marstacimab trials.
- Participants will receive marstacimab injections using a special pen or syringe.
- The study includes males aged 1 to 74 and involves regular check-ups.
- It aims to gather more information about marstacimab as a long-term treatment option.
Who may be eligible?
To join this study, you must have already taken part in one of the earlier marstacimab studies (B7841005 or B7841008) and completed it without having to stop early. You also need to be able to attend all the scheduled appointments and follow the study rules. Your body weight must meet a certain minimum, which would have been checked in the earlier studies.
There are several reasons why someone might not be able to join. For example, if you have a history of certain heart or blood clot problems, or kidney issues. You also can't join if you have unstable liver problems or if you have HIV and your condition is getting worse. If you're planning to have surgery during the study or are taking certain other medications (like strong medicines that affect your immune system or other haemophilia treatments like FVIII or FIX), you unfortunately won't be able to take part. Also, if you're involved in another study testing a new medicine or vaccine, you can't join this one.
This study is open to males aged between 1 and 74 years old. The researchers want to make sure everyone in the study is as safe as possible, which is why these checks are in place.
Could this study suit you?
Answer these quick questions to see if you may be eligible. This is a guide only — the research team makes the final call.
- Have I completed a previous marstacimab study without stopping early?
- Am I generally healthy, apart from haemophilia, and able to attend all appointments?
- Do I have any serious heart, kidney, or liver problems?
- Am I currently taking any other investigational drugs or certain other haemophilia treatments?
- Am I a male aged between 1 and 74 years old?
What does participation involve?
If you take part in this study, you'll continue to receive your marstacimab medicine as an injection, using either a special pen or a syringe. You'll have regular visits to the clinic so the study team can check on your health, assess how well the medicine is working, and look for any side effects. You'll also have blood tests and other assessments during these visits. The study involves long-term follow-up to see how you respond to the treatment over time. The team will guide you on how to give yourself the injections and what to expect during your appointments. The total duration of your participation will depend on how long the study continues, as it's an extension study.
