What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Reduction in Annualized Bleeding Episode Rate (ABR) Among Participants Receiving Prophylactic Treatment as Compared to Those Treated On-demand
Participants were Randomized to Receive 1 of the 2 Following Treatment Regimens: 1.On-Demand: FEIBA NF dose \& dosing interval as prescribed by treating physician 2.Prophylaxis: 85 ± 15 U/kg of FEIBA NF every other day during 12-month prophylactic period Annualized rate of bleeding episodes was calculated as: (Number of bleeding episodes/observed treatment period in days) * 365.25
Measured: 12 months ± 14 days
Secondary outcomes (42)
Annualized Bleeding Rate by Treatment Regimen, Bleeding Etiology, and Bleed Type
Spontaneous includes unknown/undermined etiology
Measured: 12 months ± 14 days
Differences in Mean Transformed Annualized Bleeding Rate Between On-Demand and Prophylaxis Treatment Regimens by Bleeding Etiology, and Bleeding Type
Annualized bleed rates were transformed using the square root of the number of bleeding episodes observed (X bleeds/year), X' = √(X + 0.5). This transformation was performed to stabilize the variance and align the sample distribution with the assumption of normality inherent in using the t-test. The difference in mean transformed ABRs was used to perform statistical tests and generate p-values at a significance level of 5% Participants were Randomized to Receive 1 of the 2 Following Treatment Regimens: 1.On-Demand: FEIBA NF dose \& dosing interval as prescribed by treating physician 2.Prophylaxis: 85 ± 15 U/kg of FEIBA NF every other day during 12-month prophylactic period
Measured: 12 months ± 14 days
Annualized Bleeding Rate for New Target Joints
Target joints are ≥4 bleeds/6 months in any one of the following joints: ankles, knees, elbows, and hips; a target joint bleeding episode refers to an individual anatomical location.
Measured: 12 months ± 14 days
Differences in Mean Transformed Annualized Bleeding Rate Between On-Demand and Prophylaxis Treatment Regimens: New Target Joints
Annualized bleed rates (ABRs) were transformed using the square root of the number of bleeding episodes observed (X bleeds/year), X' = √(X + 0.5). This transformation was performed to stabilize the variance and align the sample distribution with the assumption of normality inherent in using a two-sample, two-sided t-test. The difference in mean transformed ABRs was used to perform statistical tests and generate p-values at a significance level of 5%
Measured: 12 months ± 14 days
Number of New Target Joints
Target Joints are defined as ≥4 bleeds/6 months in any one of the following joints: ankles, knees, elbows and hips
Measured: 12 months ± 14 days
Assessment of Objective Clinical Symptoms- Visual Analog Scale (VAS): Pain in Adolescents and Adults (≥12 Years Old)
Pain caused by a bleeding episode in adolescents and adults (≥12 years old) was measured at pre-infusion (pre-inf) and at 6 ± 0.5 hours (h) and 24 ± 1 h post-infusion (post-inf) (after the last infusion given to treat a bleeding episode) on the VAS pain scale in millimeters from 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst possible pain). For analysis purposes, if short acting analgesics (duration of activity approximately 6 ± 0.5 h) were used, pain was assigned the highest possible score (100). Pain assessment occurred after each infusion related to single bleeding episodes. In case participants required an additional infusion within 24h, pain was assessed 6 ± 0.5 h and 24 ±1 h following the subsequent infusion. Change in VAS scores at 6 ± 0.5 h and 24 ±1 h post-infusion were also compared relative to pre-infusion VAS scores (ie, (pre-infusion VAS score) - (post-infusion VAS score)).
Measured: Throughout the study period, 12 months ± 14 days
Assessment of Clinical Symptoms - Visual Analog Scale (VAS): Pain in Pediatrics (<12 Years Old)
Pain caused by a bleeding episode (BE) in pediatric participants (<12 years old) was measured at pre-infusion (pre-inf) and at 6 ± 0.5 h and 24 ± 1 h post-infusion (post-inf) (after the last infusion given to treat a bleeding episode) using the children's VAS pain scale (a facial expression scale with one end marked as no pain and the opposite end marked as the worst possible pain). For analysis purposes, if short acting analgesics (duration of activity approximately 6 ± 0.5 h) were used, pain was assigned the highest possible score (worst possible pain). Scores on the children's VAS scale are presented as: -No Pain -Mild Pain -Moderate pain -Severe pain -Very severe pain
Measured: 12 months ± 14 days
Assessment of Clinical Symptoms - Range of Motion (ROM)

Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL): EuroQoL (Quality of Life)-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) Index Scores
EQ-5D is a participant answered questionnaire scoring 5 dimensions - mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. The EQ-5D total score ranges from 0 (worst health state) to 1 (perfect health state) and 1 reflects the best outcome. EQ-5D Index scores based on EQ-5D questionnaire were calculated for participants ≥14 years of age, at screening, 6 months, and at termination visit. Changes in scores at 6 months and termination were also calculated. A relatively higher score represents better quality of life.
Measured: 12 months ± 14 days
Hemophilia-specific Quality of Life Questionnaire for Adults (Haem-A-QoL) ≥ 16 Years Old
The Haem-A-QoL instrument has been developed and used in Hemophilia A patients. As a hemophilia-specific instrument, this measure assesses very specific aspects of dealing with hemophilia. The areas covered by this instrument are: Physical Health (PH), Sports \& Leisure (S\&L), School \& Work (W\&S), Dealing with Hemophilia (Dealing), Family Planning (FP), Feeling, Relationships (R'ships), Treatment, View, and Outlook for the Future (Future). A Haem-A-QoL Total Score (Total) was also calculated. For the Haem-A-QoL, higher scores indicate a worse quality of life. Scores on a scale range between 0 and 100. Haem-A-QoL scores at screening, 6 months, and at termination visit were collected. Changes in scores at 6 months and termination were also calculated.
Measured: 12 months ± 14 days
Hemophilia-specific Quality of Life Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents < 16 Years Old (Haemo-QoL) - Parent's Evaluation
The Haemo-QoL is a quality of life (QoL) assessment instrument for children and adolescents with haemophilia. As a hemophilia-specific instrument, this measure assesses very specific aspects of dealing with hemophilia. The areas covered by this instrument are: Physical Health (PH), Sports \& School (S\&S), Dealing with Hemophilia (Dealing), Family, Feeling, Relationships (R'ships), Treatment, View, Outlook for the Future (Future), Friends, Others, and Support. A Haemo-QoL Total Score (Total) was also calculated. For the Haemo-QoL, higher scores indicate a worse quality of life. Scores on a scale range between 0 and 100. Haemo-QoL scores at screening, 6 months, and at termination visit were collected. Changes in scores at 6 months and termination were also calculated.
Measured: 12 months ± 14 days
Hemophilia-specific Quality of Life Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents < 16 Years Old (Haemo-QoL) - Child's Evaluation
The Haemo-QoL is a quality of life (QoL) assessment instrument for children and adolescents with haemophilia.

The areas covered by this instrument are: Physical Health (PH), Sports \& School (S\&S), Dealing with Hemophilia (Dealing), Family, Feeling, Relationships (R'ships), Treatment, View, Outlook for the Future (Future), Friends, Others, and Support. A Haemo-QoL Total Score (Total) was also calculated. For the Haemo-QoL, higher scores indicate a worse quality of life. Scores on a scale range between 0 and 100. Haemo-QoL scores at screening, 6 months, and at termination visit were collected. Changes in scores at 6 months and termination were also calculated.
Measured: 12 months ± 14 days
Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) - General Pain Assessment Using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in Adults and Adolescents ≥12 Years Old
General pain was assessed using a VAS pain scale at screening, 6 months, and at termination. Unlike the VAS pain assessment for pain of bleeding episodes (Outcome above), this general pain assessment did not take use of analgesics into account. For the pain scale, a higher number indicates worse pain. The visual analog scale ranges from 0 to 100 where the endpoints are labeled 'Worst imaginable health state' (=0) and 'Best imaginable health state' (=100). A positive change from baseline indicates improvement. Change in VAS scores at 6 months and study termination were also compared relative to Baseline/Screening scores (ie, (Baseline/Screening VAS score) - (VAS score at 6 months and study termination).
Measured: Baseline, 6 months and 12 months ± 14 days
Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) - General Pain Assessment Using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in Pediatrics <12 Years Old
General pain was assessed using the children's VAS pain scale (a facial expression scale with one end marked as no pain and the opposite end marked as the worst possible pain). Assessments were done at the screening, 6 months, and termination visits. Scores on the children's VAS scale are presented as: -No Pain -Mild Pain -Moderate pain -Severe pain -Very severe pain Unlike the VAS pain assessment for pain of bleeding episodes (Outcome above), this general pain assessment did not take use of analgesics into account. Change in VAS scores at 6 months and study termination were also compared relative to Baseline/Screening scores (ie, (Baseline/Screening VAS score) - (VAS score at 6 months and study termination).
Measured: Baseline, 6 months and 12 months ± 14 days
