Overview
In this study, researchers will observe and study the data from participants with hemophilia A who receive damoctocog alfa pegol as prescribed by their doctors. Participants will not receive any advice or changes to their healthcare during the study.
Hemophilia A is a genetic bleeding disorder. It is caused by the lack of a protein called clotting factor 8 (FVIII) that helps blood to clot properly. Lack of FVIII can result in excessive blood loss or bleeding inside the body after being injured or having surgery.
The study drug, damoctocog alfa pegol, can be used to prevent or treat bleeding episodes by replacing missing FVIII in the body of people with hemophilia A. It is already approved for people with hemophilia A who are at least 12 years old and have previously used other hemophilia A treatments.
Through this study, researchers want to learn more about its safety in a real-world setting.
The participants will receive damoctocog alfa pegol as prescribed by their doctors during routine practice according to the approved product information.
The main purpose of this study is to learn more about how safe damoctocog alfa pegol is in Korean participants with hemophilia A who previously used other hemophilia A treatments. To do this, researchers will collect information about any medical problems participants have during their treatment.
Data will be collected from December 2023 to March 2026 and cover a period of about 8 months for each participant. Data will come from participants' health records and information collected during their routine clinic visits.
In this study, only available data from routine care will be collected. No visits or tests are required as part of this study.
