a study to learn about how changing therapy from emicizumab to marstacimab affects people with the severe hemophilia a.

Conditions: Severe Hemophilia A

Summary: the purpose of the study is to learn about safety, how the body processes marstacimab and how it works in patients with severe hemophilia a. a rare bleeding disorder where the blood doesn't clot normally. this causes a person to bleed a lot, even from a small cut. these patients can be with or without inhibitors who are on emicizumab medicine for routine prophylaxis for at least 6 months, and desire to switch to marstacimab medicine. inhibitors are antibodies that the immune system develops because it sees the infused clotting factor as a foreign substance that needs to be destroyed. antibodies are proteins that eat up the activated factor before it has time to stop the bleeding. prophylaxis are preventive medicines. this study is seeking for participants: * with severe hemophilia a who are on emicizumab treatment for at least 6 months. * must be 12 to less than 75 years old * must have a body weight of at least 35 kilograms. the results from this study will serve as a guide to doctors and their hemophilia a patients who will change their medicines in the real-world clinical setting. patients who can take part in the study will receive marstacimab medicine as weekly injections under the skin of 150 milligrams for 4 months. study treatment with marstacimab will be initiated no earlier than 14 days after last dose of emicizumab. the study can last up to 6 months. the sponsor will provide marstacimab. patients will continue their usual treatment with the infused clotting factor for their bleeds when taking part in the study.

this is a non-randomized open-label study in approximately 10-15 adolescent and adult participants between ages 12 to \<75 years with severe hemophilia a (defined as fviii activity \<1%) with or without inhibitors who are currently on treatment with emicizumab for ≥6 months. the study is designed to assess the safety and pk/pd during a 4-month treatment period with marstacimab 150 mg sc qw after a 14-day wash-out period following discontinuation of emicizumab. the anticipated study duration for an individual participant is approximately 6 months. assessment of safety will be conducted by summarizing aes and saes reported during the study, from before the wash-out of emicizumab until after participants have resumed prophylactic therapy per their standard of care. participants will continue to use their standard of care factor replacement for breakthrough bleeds during the course of the study. pk, pd, and ada measurements will support the clinical safety data.

Eligibility criteria:
inclusion criteria: 1. male and 12 to \<75 years of age with a minimum body weight of 35 kg at the time of signing the informed consent. 2. diagnosis of severe hemophilia a (fviii activity \<1%) with or without inhibitors. 3. on emicizumab therapy at a standard clinical dose for ≥6 months. exclusion criteria: 1. previous or current treatment for or history of coronary artery diseases, venous or arterial thrombosis, or ischemic disease. 2. any medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation/behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk of study participation or, in the investigator's judgment, make the participant inappropriate for the study. 3. known hemostatic defect other than hemophilia a. 4. current use of any prohibited concomitant medication(s) or unwillingness or inability to use a required concomitant medication(s). 5. previous administration of an investigational product (drug or vaccine) within 30 days or 5 half-lives preceding the first dose of study intervention used in this study (whichever is longer). participation in studies of other investigational products (drug or vaccine) at any time during participation in this study. 6. platelet count \<100,000/μl or hemoglobin \<10 g/dl. 7. clinically significant renal or hepatic function abnormality based on laboratory results at screening, or known kidney or liver disease. 8. cd4 cell count ≤200/μl if hiv positive. 9. screening 12-lead ecg that demonstrates clinically significant abnormalities that, in the opinion of the investigator, may affect participant safety or interpretation of study results. 10. known planned surgical procedure. 11. hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to hamster protein or other components of the study intervention. 12. investigator site staff directly involved in the conduct of the study and their family members, site staff otherwise supervised by the investigator, and sponsor and sponsor-delegate employees directly involved in the conduct of the study and their family members.
