Summary
The main aim of this study is to check if there are side effects from BAX 888 and to determine the dose of BAX 888 for treating severe hemophilia A in male adults.
Participants will receive one infusion with BAX 888 at the hemophilia treatment center. During the study, participants will visit their study clinic multiple times.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Male, aged 18 to 75 years at the time of screening.
- Established severe hemophilia A (FVIII: C =5 days without FVIII treatment) and/or documented intron 1 inversion or intron 22 inversion mutation in the F8 gene, consistent with severe hemophilia A , and documented evidence of >=3 hemorrhages over the previous 12 months requiring treatment with exogenous FVIII or use of FVIII prophylaxis because of history of frequent bleeding episodes.
- History of greater than (>) 150 exposure days to exogenously administered FVIII concentrates or cryoprecipitate.
- Sexually active men must agree to use barrier contraception (combination of a condom and spermicide) or limit sexual intercourse to post-menopausal, surgically sterilized, or contraception-practicing partners for a minimum of 6 months after administration of BAX 888, or until BAX 888 genomes are no longer detected in the semen, whichever is sooner.
- Participant is willing and able to comply with the requirements of the protocol, including provision of semen samples, maintenance of a diary of bleeding episodes and FVIII protein use.
- Signed informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria
- Bleeding disorder(s) other than hemophilia A.
- Personal laboratory evidence of having developed inhibitors to FVIII protein at any time (>=0.6 Bethesda units [BU] on any single test).
- Documented prior allergic reaction to any FVIII product.
- Anti-Adeno-associated virus, serotype 8 (AAV8) neutralizing antibody titer >=1:5. Participants whose laboratory assessments are less than or equal to ( =40 (Inova QUANTA LiteTM Actin IgG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay [ELISA]); values of 31 to 39 will be flagged as possibly abnormal and the Investigator and Medical Monitor will evaluate the participant for eligibility.
- Elevated anti-liver-kidney microsomal antibody type 1 (LKM1) titers.
- Total immunoglobulin G (IgG) >1.5*upper limit of normal (ULN).
- Antinuclear antibody (ANA) titer >1: 320; OR ANA titer >1:80 if demonstrated concurrently with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) that is >ULN.
- Active Hepatitis virus (Hepatitis C): As indicated by detectable hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
- Hepatitis B: If surface antigen is positive.
- Seropositive for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
- Receiving systemic antiviral and/or interferon therapy within 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
- Clinically significant infections (e.g. systemic fungal infections) requiring systemic treatment.
- Known immune disorder (including myeloma and lymphoma).
- Concurrent chemotherapy or biological therapy for treatment of neoplastic disease or other disorders.
- An absolute neutrophil count =0.48 (i.e., Metavir staging of F2 or greater). Of note, in participants with a known history of Gilbert's syndrome, a Fibrotest cannot be used for fibrosis testing.
- Total bilirubin >1.5*ULN and direct bilirubin >=0.5 milligram per deciliter (mg/dL).
- ALT or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >1.0*ULN.
- Alkaline phosphatase (AP) >2.0*ULN.
- History of liver biopsy indicating moderate or severe fibrosis (Metavir staging of F2 or greater).
- History of ascites, varices, variceal hemorrhage, or hepatic encephalopathy.
- Any findings on screening ultrasound that would preclude the safe use of AAV gene therapy.
- Prothrombin time (PT) international normalized ratio (INR) >=1.4.
- Serum creatinine >1.5 mg/dL.
- Urine protein >30 mg/dL or >0.5 gram per day (g/day).
- Body mass index >38.
- Major surgery or an orthopedic surgical procedure planned within 6 months after enrollment.
- Acute or chronic disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, would adversely affect participant safety or compliance or interpretation of study results.
- Received an AAV vector previously or any other gene transfer agent in the previous 12 months prior to Study Day 0.
- Received an investigational intervention or participated in another clinical trial within 4 weeks prior to enrollment or with
