Summary

Hemophilia A is an inherited (genetic) disease where a protein, factor VIII (FVIII), which promotes blood clotting is missing or does not work properly. Individuals with hemophilia A are at risk for bleeding. Bleeding is prevented and/or treated with recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII), which is an FDA-approved treatment for Hemophilia A. Obesity is common among patients with hemophilia. Some studies have shown that obese hemophilia patients may be able to prevent bleeding with a lower dose of clotting factor than the dose they are currently receiving. The lower dose is calculated based on what a patient should weigh rather than what he does weigh. This is a clinical research study to test whether calculating rFVIII dosing based on lean body mass and ideal body weight (what a person should weigh based on his height) in overweight and obese patients with hemophilia is more accurate than calculating rFVIII dosing based on what a person actually weighs.

DRUG

rFVIII

Recombinant FVIII concentrate is an FDA approved, and both efficacious and safe, therapy for the treatment and prevention of bleeding in hemophilia A. The rFVIII infusion dose will be calculated as follows: \[(weight in kg x desired FVIII increase of 100 IU/dL)/(2)\].
