About
The primary objective of the study is to assess the immunogenicity of VWF/FVIII and of rFVIII concentrates by determining the frequency of inhibitor development in previously untreated patients (PUPs) or minimally blood component-treated (MBCTPs) in the first 50 EDs or in the first 3 years from enrollment, whichever occurs first.
.
Full description
Patients meeting the enrollment criteria will be consecutively enrolled at each participating centre, randomized to be treated exclusively with a single FVIII product either plasma-derived or recombinant, and followed up until inhibitor development or until 50 exposure days (EDs) or 3 years from enrolment have elapsed, whichever comes first. Study products, belonging to the class of rFVIII concentrates and to the class of plasma-derived VWF/FVIII concentrates, will be provided for free to the patients for all the duration of the study

Severe haemophilia A (FVIII:C <1%), as confirmed at enrolment by the central laboratory.
o Those patients diagnosed locally as severe but subsequently found to have FVIII levels >= 1% on testing at the central laboratory will be separately recorded in the screening list.

o Patients not meeting these criteria will be separately recorded in the screening list.
Negative inhibitor measurement at both local and central laboratory at screening
Ability to comply with study requirements
Signed informed consent of legal tutors o Patients who will not accept to enter into the study or to be randomized will be separately recorded.
Exclusion criteria

Plasma FVIII level >= 1%, as assayed at the central laboratory
o Those patients originally diagnosed locally as severe but subsequently found to have FVIII levels ranging from 1% to 2% on testing at the central laboratory will be separately recorded in the screening list.
