Summary

This trial aims to test if SPK-8011 is better at preventing bleeding episodes in people with hemophilia A who do not have inhibitors compared to the standard treatment with FVIII prophylaxis

Who is the study for?
Adult males with severe or moderately severe Hemophilia A, having FVIII activity ≤3%. They must have used FVIII products for at least 150 days and not be allergic to them. No history of liver disease, cirrhosis, or inhibitors against FVIII in the past 5 years. HIV-positive participants need controlled virus levels and CD4 count >200/mm3.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing SPK-8011's ability to prevent bleeding episodes in comparison with routine prophylaxis using Factor VIII (FVIII) in men with Hemophilia A without inhibitors. It will assess if gene therapy can reduce the frequency of bleeds better than standard treatments.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not specified here but may include reactions similar to other gene therapies such as immune responses, injection site reactions, headaches, muscle aches, fever or changes in liver function tests.
