A plain-language summary of the goals, design and what participants do
This clinical trial is focused on studying the effects of a medication called Concizumab in children under 12 years old who have Hemophilia A or Hemophilia B, with or without inhibitors. Hemophilia is a condition where the blood does not clot properly, leading to excessive bleeding. Inhibitors are substances that can interfere with the treatment of hemophilia. The medication being tested, Concizumab, is given as an injection under the skin using a special pen-injector device.
The purpose of the study is to see how well Concizumab works in preventing bleeding episodes compared to the previous treatment the children were receiving. The study will involve children who have not used Concizumab before. Participants will receive regular injections of Concizumab over a period of time, and the number of bleeding episodes they experience will be monitored and compared to their previous treatment.
Throughout the study, researchers will also keep track of any side effects or reactions to the medication, such as injection site reactions or the development of antibodies against Concizumab. The study aims to provide valuable information on the safety and effectiveness of Concizumab in managing bleeding episodes in young children with hemophilia.
The trial runs in 5 steps – from screening to follow-up. Each step says what happens and what the team monitors.

Hemophilia A is a genetic disorder where the blood does not clot properly due to a deficiency of clotting factor VIII. This condition leads to prolonged bleeding after injuries, surgeries, or even spontaneously without any apparent cause. Individuals with hemophilia A may experience frequent nosebleeds, easy bruising, and joint bleeding, which can cause pain and swelling. Over time, repeated joint bleeding can lead to joint damage. The severity of bleeding episodes can vary, with some individuals experiencing more frequent and severe episodes than others.
Hemophilia B is a genetic bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency of clotting factor IX. Similar to hemophilia A, this condition results in prolonged bleeding after injuries or surgeries and can also cause spontaneous bleeding episodes. People with hemophilia B may experience symptoms such as frequent nosebleeds, easy bruising, and bleeding into joints and muscles. Joint bleeding can lead to pain, swelling, and over time, joint damage. The severity of symptoms can vary, with some individuals experiencing more frequent and severe bleeding episodes.
