If the subject is a minor (i.e., less than 18 years of age) both he and his parent or legal guardian must sign and date the informed consent.
* Diagnosis of severe hemophilia A.
* Levels of Factor VIII less than 0.01 IU/mL.
* Treatment with cryoprecipitate, Factor VIII concentrates, and/or whole blood, for at least 150 cumulative exposure days (CEDs) prior to enrollment.
* No treatment with cryoprecipitate, Factor VIII concentrate, or any other blood product, for at least 72 hours prior to screening.
* No previous diagnosis with inhibitors to Factor VIII at any detectable titer.
* Subjects must never have been diagnosed with nonspecific inhibitors of coagulation.
* Negative test for the presence of Factor VIII inhibitors at screening and enrollment.
* CD4 counts greater than or equal to 400 cells/µL.
* Vaccination against hepatitis A and hepatitis B, or evidence of antibodies against hepatitis A and hepatitis B. (A subject who has no prior immunity against hepatitis A will be offered a course of vaccination for hepatitis A).

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
