The study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a prophylactic treatment with recombinant activated FVII in reducing the frequency of joint bleeds and the development of joint damage in children with hemophilia A who develop high-titer inhibitors.
This is a multicentre, randomised, controlled study designed to gain evidence of the advantage of the prophylactic, daily treatment with recombinant activated FVII as compared to the conventional on demand therapy in reducing the bleeding frequency and preserving the orthopaedic status in hemophilic children with inhibitors.
