A plain-language summary of the goals, design and what participants do
This clinical trial is focused on studying the long-term safety and effectiveness of a treatment called Marstacimab for people with a condition known as hemophilia. Hemophilia is a rare bleeding disorder where blood doesn't clot properly, leading to excessive bleeding. The study includes individuals with severe hemophilia A or moderately severe to severe hemophilia B, with or without inhibitors. Inhibitors are substances that can interfere with the treatment of hemophilia, making it more challenging to manage the condition.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how safe and tolerable Marstacimab is when used over a long period. Participants will receive the treatment as a solution for injection, either in a pre-filled pen or syringe, which is administered under the skin. The study will monitor participants for any side effects, including reactions at the injection site, changes in vital signs, and any significant changes in laboratory test results. The study will also track the number of bleeding episodes and any changes in joint health over time.
Participants in this study will be observed for several years to gather comprehensive data on the treatment's impact. The study aims to provide valuable insights into the long-term management of hemophilia using Marstacimab, helping to improve the quality of life for those affected by this condition. The study is open-label, meaning both the researchers and participants know what treatment is being administered, and it is an extension of previous studies, allowing for continued observation and data collection.
The trial runs in 6 steps – from screening to follow-up. Each step says what happens and what the team monitors.

Marstacimab is a medication being studied for its potential to help people with hemophilia, a condition where blood doesn't clot properly. This medication is designed to be used as a long-term treatment to prevent bleeding episodes in people with severe hemophilia A or moderately severe to severe hemophilia B. It works by helping the blood to clot more effectively, which can reduce the risk of bleeding. The study is looking at how safe and well-tolerated marstacimab is when used over a long period, as well as how effective it is in preventing bleeding in people with hemophilia, whether or not they have developed inhibitors, which are substances that can make treatment less effective.
Hemophilia A is a genetic disorder caused by a deficiency of clotting factor VIII, which leads to prolonged bleeding. This condition primarily affects males and is characterized by spontaneous bleeding episodes, particularly into joints and muscles. Over time, repeated bleeding into joints can cause joint damage and pain. The severity of the disease varies, with severe cases having less than 1% of normal factor VIII activity. Individuals with this condition may experience frequent nosebleeds, easy bruising, and excessive bleeding after injuries or surgeries. The progression of the disease can lead to chronic joint problems and reduced mobility if not managed properly.
Hemophilia B is a genetic disorder resulting from a deficiency of clotting factor IX, leading to prolonged bleeding. Like Hemophilia A, it primarily affects males and is characterized by spontaneous bleeding episodes, especially into joints and muscles. The severity of Hemophilia B varies, with severe cases having less than 2% of normal factor IX activity. Repeated bleeding into joints can cause joint damage and chronic pain over time. Individuals with this condition may experience frequent nosebleeds, easy bruising, and excessive bleeding following injuries or surgeries. Without proper management, the disease can lead to chronic joint issues and decreased mobility.
