Study design

Hampton et al (2017)
pathfinder 3 phase 3 surgery trial

Patients: Previously treated males aged ≥12 years with severe hemophilia A (FVIII activity level <1%) who were scheduled for major surgery and had at least 150 exposure days to FVIII products other than Esperoct®.2

Study design: Open-label, nonrandomized trial including 45 major surgeries among 33 patients. Patients received a preoperative dose of Esperoct®, established at a screening visit 0-3 weeks prior to surgery. Intraoperative and postsurgery dosing was at the investigators’ discretion. Monitoring for FVIII activity was daily during postoperative days 1–6, at least once during days 7–14 and once weekly beyond day 14, with Esperoct® dosage adjusted to follow World Federation of Hemophilia guidelines for FVIII activity levels for major surgery.1,2

Primary endpoint: Evaluating the hemostatic effect of Esperoct® following surgery, using a four-point scale (none, moderate, good, and excellent). Treatment success was defined as excellent or good bleed control.2
