The purpose of this study is to see if a low-dose arm or a high dose-arm of immune tolerance is more effective in eliminating inhibitors in patients with hemophilia A.
Subjects will be randomized into a low-dose or high-dose immune tolerance regimen and this study will compare the success rates, the time to achieve tolerance,the complications and the cost of both regimens.It will also aim to identify predictors of successful immune tolerance.
