What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Joint Health Outcomes - Assessed by Physical Exam Using Only the Pain, Bleeding, and Physical Exam Parameters of the Gilbert Scale

    The World Federation of Hemophilia developed a musculoskeletal evaluation system, commonly referred to as the Gilbert test, to measure hemophilia joint health status.The Gilbert test needs to be performed in the absence of acute bleed, acute pain, and acute inflammation into the evaluated joint. Four parameters are used in each Gilbert test: pain (score: 0-3), bleeding (score: 0-3), physical exam (score: 0-12), and X-ray evaluation (score: 0-13) Scores of 0, represent no pain, no bleeding, no physical exam issues, and/or no x-ray issues. Higher scores for each of these categories represents worsening conditions.

    Measured: Up to approximately 12 years

Secondary outcomes (32)
  1. Annualized Bleed Rate, All Joints

    The annualized bleed rate for all joints will be calculated per participant and summarized over the set of available participants with a minimum observation period of 90 days per treatment regimen.

    Measured: Annual/Interval visits:- Up to 8 years if rAHF-PFM alone- Up to 8 years if rAHF-PEG alone with minimum follow up of 4 years- Up to approx. 12 years rAHF-PFM and switched to rAHF-PEG; and Termination visit

  2. Annualized Bleed Rate, All Bleeds

    The annualized bleed rate for all bleeds will be calculated per participant and summarized over the set of available participants.with a minimum observation period of 90 days per treatment regimen.

    Measured: Annual/Interval visits:- Up to 8 years if rAHF-PFM alone- Up to 8 years if rAHF-PEG alone with minimum follow up of 4 years- Up to approx. 12 years rAHF-PFM and switched to rAHF-PEG; and Termination visit

  3. Annualized bleed rate, pre-existing target joints at baseline

    The annualized bleed rate for pre-existing target joints at baseline will be calculated per participant and summarized over the set of available participants with a minimum observation period of 90 days per treatment regimen.

    Measured: Screening visit; Annual/Interval visits:- Up to 8 years if rAHF-PFM alone- Up to 8 years if rAHF-PEG alone with minimum follow up of 4 years- Up to approx. 12 years rAHF-PFM and switched to rAHF-PEG; and Termination visit

  4. Incidence of New Target Joints

    The incidence of new target joints will be calculated as the total number of new target joints in all participants divided by the total number of observation days.

    Measured: Screening visit; Annual/Interval visits:- Up to 8 years if rAHF-PFM alone- Up to 8 years if rAHF-PEG alone with minimum follow up of 4 years- Up to approx. 12 years rAHF-PFM and switched to rAHF-PEG; and Termination visit

  5. Status of joint health by X-ray by Pettersson scale

    The status of joint health by X-ray by Pettersson score will be summarized for each observational year.

    Measured: Screening visit; Annual/Interval visits:- Up to 8 years if rAHF-PFM alone- Up to 8 years if rAHF-PEG alone with minimum follow up of 4 years- Up to approx. 12 years rAHF-PFM and switched to rAHF-PEG; and Termination visit.

  6. Status of Joint Health by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scoring System- Using The Lund Scoring System (LSS)

    LSS score format= A(e:s:h). Sum of values for Subchondral Cyst (score: 1-6), irregularity/erosion of Subchondral Cortex (score: 1-4), and Chondral Destruction (score: 1-6) gives value for the A component of score. e, s, h components represent effusion/hemarthrosis, hypertrophic synovial, \& hemosiderin deposition (score: 0-4 for each). Max. score is 16(4:4:4).

    Subchondral Cyst:

    • ≥1 bone
    • ≥2 bones
    • >3 cysts in ≥1 bone
    • >3 cysts ≥2 bones
    • Largest size >4 mm: ≥1 bone
    • Largest size >4 mm: ≥2 bones

    Subchondral Cortex

    • ≥1 bone
    • ≥2 bones
    • Involve > half joint surface: ≥1 bone

  7. Status of joint health using the Hemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS)

    The International Prophylaxis Study Group (IPSG) developed a scoring system for musculoskeletal evaluation, the HJHS, optimized for use in children with no or minimal joint disease.

    The HJHS includes the following parameters: swelling, duration of swelling, muscle atrophy, joint pain, crepitus on motion, flexion loss, extension loss, strength and global gait.

    Measured: Screening visit; Annual/Interval visits:- Up to 8 years if rAHF-PFM alone- Up to 8 years if rAHF-PEG alone with minimum follow up of 4 years- Up to approx. 12 years rAHF-PFM and switched to rAHF-PEG; and Termination visit

  8. Overall effectiveness assessment for prophylaxis therapy

    • Excellent: Same or lower breakthrough bleed rate (BBR) within last 12 months (M) compared with prior prophylaxis; if participant did not receive prior prophylaxis with rAHF-PFM, rAHF-PEG or other Factor VIII (FVIII), same or better than expected outcome according to investigator's expectation
    • Good: Minor increase in BBR within last 12M compared with prior prophylaxis; if participant did not receive prophylaxis with rAHF-PFM, rAHF-PEG or other FVIII, slightly less than expected outcome according to investigator's expectation
    • Fair: Moderate increase in BBR in last 12M compared with prior prophylaxis; if participant did not receive prophylaxis with rAHF-PFM, rAHF-PEG or other FVIII, somewhat less than expected outcome according to investigator's expectation
    • Poor: Significant increase in BBR in the 12M compared with prior prophylaxis; if participant did not receive prophylaxis with rAHF-PFM, rAHF-PEG or other FVIII, little to no benefit according to investigator's expectation

    Measured: Annual/Interval visits:- Up to 8 years if rAHF-PFM alone;- Up to 8 years if rAHF-PEG alone with minimum follow up of 4 years;- Up to approx. 12 years rAHF-PFM and switched to rAHF-PEG; and Termination visit

  9. Compliance with the dosing prescribed and its relationship with effectiveness

    Evaluation of patients´ compliance to prescribed prophylactic treatment will be performed by the treating physician. Compliance will be categorized according to a 4-point table (Highly compliant, Fairly compliant, Moderately compliant, Poorly compliant)

    Measured: Annual/Interval visits:- Up to 8 years if rAHF-PFM alone;- Up to 8 years if rAHF-PEG alone with minimum follow up of 4 years;- Up to approx. 12 years rAHF-PFM and switched to rAHF-PEG; and Termination visit

  10. Overall effectiveness assessment for on-demand treatment

    • Excellent: Bleed episodes typically respond to same or fewer number of infusion and same or lower dose as compared with previous on-demand treatment or investigator's expectation
    • Good: Most bleed episodes typically respond to same number of infusion and dose but some require more infusions or higher dose as compared with previous on-demand treatment or investigator's expectation
    • Fair: Bleed episodes typically require more infusions and/or higher dose than expected as compared with previous on-demand treatment or investigator's expectation
    • Poor: Bleed episodes routinely fail to respond to same number of infusion and dose and require additional or different factor concentrate for hemostatic control as compared with previous on-demand treatment or investigator's expectation

    Measured: Annual/Interval visits: - Up to 8 years if rAHF-PFM alone - Up to 8 years if rAHF-PEG alone with minimum follow up of 4 years - Up to approx. 12 years rAHF-PFM and switched to rAHF-PEG; and Termination visit

    • Excellent: Full relief of pain and cessation of bleeding as evidenced by objective signs (e.g., swelling, tenderness, irritability, inconsolability, and decreased range of motion in the case of musculoskeletal hemorrhage) within approximately 8 hours of a single infusion. No additional infusion is required for the control of bleeding. Administration of further infusions to maintain hemostasis would not affect this scoring.
    • Good: Definite pain relief and/or improvement in signs of bleeding within approximately 8 hours after the infusion. Possibly requires more than 1 infusion for complete resolution.
    • Fair: Probable or slight relief of pain and slight improvement in signs of bleeding within approximately 8 hours after the infusion. Requires more than 1 infusion for complete resolution.

    During screening visit and on an annual basis, the investigators shall ask participants to rate the average level of chronic pain associated with hemophilia over the period of 4 weeks prior to visit date using the VAS.

    Measured: Enrollment visit; Screening visit; Annual/Interval visits: - Up to 8 years if rAHF-PFM alone - Up to 8 years if rAHF-PEG alone with minimum follow up of 4 years - Up to approx. 12 years rAHF-PFM and switched to rAHF-PEG; Termination visit

  23. Acute pain associated with hemophilia, as measured with individual bleeding episodes, using the visual analog scale (VAS)

    The VAS assesses the pain using a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (unbearable pain).

    Participants will be asked to provide ratings on level of acute pain associated with each bleeding episode using the VAS. The VAS scores will be recorded in the participant diary.

    Measured: Enrollment visit; Screening visit; Annual/Interval visits: - Up to 8 years if rAHF-PFM alone - Up to 8 years if rAHF-PEG alone with minimum follow up of 4 years - Up to approx. 12 years rAHF-PFM and switched to rAHF-PEG; Termination visit

  24. Number of days lost from school or work due to bleeding episodes

    Measured: Enrollment visit; Screening visit; Annual/Interval visits: - Up to 8 years if rAHF-PFM alone - Up to 8 years if rAHF-PEG alone with minimum follow up of 4 years - Up to approx. 12 years rAHF-PFM and switched to rAHF-PEG; Termination visit

  25. Modalities of switching from a standard FVIII product to rAHF-PEG - 1

    Difference in number of weekly prophylactic infusions between previous regimen and rAHF-PEG

    Measured: Enrollment visit; Screening visit; Annual/Interval visits: - Up to 8 years if rAHF-PFM alone - Up to 8 years if rAHF-PEG alone with minimum follow up of 4 years - Up to approx. 12 years rAHF-PFM and switched to rAHF-PEG; Termination visit

  26. Modalities of switching from a standard FVIII product to rAHF-PEG - 2

    Difference in number of weekly doses between previous regimen and rAHFPEG

    Measured: Enrollment visit; Screening visit; Annual/Interval visits: - Up to 8 years if rAHF-PFM alone - Up to 8 years if rAHF-PEG alone with minimum follow up of 4 years - Up to approx. 12 years rAHF-PFM and switched to rAHF-PEG; Termination visit

  27. Incidence of Inhibitors in Previously Treated Patients (PTPs) with Factor VIII (FVIII) Levels Lesser than (<)1%, Lesser Than or Equal to (<=) 2%, and <= 5% without history of inhibitor

    Measured: Throughout the study period of up to approximately: 8 years (rAHF-PFM alone), or 12 years (rAHF-PEG alone or after receiving rAHF-PFM)

  28. Incidence of Inhibitors in Previously Treated Patients (PTPs) with Factor VIII (FVIII) Levels <1%, <=2%, and <= 5% with history of inhibitor

    Measured: Throughout the study period of up to approximately: 8 years (rAHF-PFM alone), or 12 years (rAHF-PEG alone or after receiving rAHF-PFM)

  29. Incidence of Inhibitors in Previously Untreated Patient (PUPs) and Minimally Treated Patients (MTPs) with Factor VIII (FVIII) Levels <1%, <=2%, and <= 5%

    Measured: Throughout the study period of up to approximately: 8 years (rAHF-PFM alone), or 12 years (rAHF-PEG alone or after receiving rAHF-PFM)

  30. Incidence of therapy-related serious adverse events

    Measured: Throughout the study period of up to approximately: 8 years (rAHF-PFM alone), or 12 years (rAHF-PEG alone or after receiving rAHF-PFM)

  31. Incidence of therapy-related non-serious adverse events

    Measured: Throughout the study period of up to approximately: 8 years (rAHF-PFM alone), or 12 years (rAHF-PEG alone or after receiving rAHF-PFM)

  32. Incidence of inhibitors after switching to rAHF-PEG

    Incidence of inhibitors after switching to rAHF-PEG in the same subgroups of patients

    Measured: Throughout the study period of up to approximately: 8 years (rAHF-PFM alone), or 12 years (rAHF-PEG alone or after receiving rAHF-PFM)
