Clinical Trial Summary

Study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of ReFacto AF for the treatment of severe hemophilia A in patients who have not yet received treatment for their hemophilia.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percentage of Participants Who Developed Clinically Significant Factor VIII (FVIII) Inhibitors During the Course of the Study	Percentage of participants who developed clinically significant FVIII inhibitors: those persistent over a defined period with clinically impactful effects like breakthrough bleed, low recovery, etc., during the course of the study.	2 years
Secondary	Annualized Bleeding Rate (ABR)	Annualized bleeding rate was calculated as the number of bleeds divided by the treatment interval duration (enrollment visit to final visit) and then multiplied by 365.25. If there was more than 1 bleed location (like ankle and joint) with identical bleed start date and time, it was treated as 1 bleed occurrence.	2 years
Secondary	Total Number of Infusions to Treat a New Bleed Classified on Basis of Response to First On-Demand Treatment With Refacto AF	Number of infusions of Refacto AF required to treat a new bleed were classified on basis of the response to at 4-point response scale of assessment (excellent, good, moderate and no response). Assessment was completed each time a participant experienced a new bleed requiring an 'on-demand' IV infusion. Excellent: definite pain relief and/or improvement in bleeding signs within 8 hours (hr) after infusion, no additional infusion administered; Good: definite pain relief and/or improvement in bleeding signs within 8 hr after infusion, at least 1 additional infusion administered for complete resolution or with no additional infusion administered; Moderate: probable or slight improvement starting after 8 hr following infusion, at least 1 additional infusion administered for complete resolution; No Response: no improvement at all between infusions or during 24 hr interval following infusion or condition worsen. Bleeds for which response not recorded, reported as: Data Not Recorded.	2 years
Secondary	Total Number of Infusions Needed for Resolution of Bleeding Episodes Classified on Basis of Response to Study Drug Infusion	Number of infusions of Refacto AF required for resolution of a bleeding episodes were classified on basis of the response at 4-point response scale of assessment (excellent, good, moderate and no response). Excellent: definite pain relief and/or improvement in bleeding signs within 8 hours (hr) after infusion, no additional infusion administered; Good: definite pain relief and/or improvement in bleeding signs within 8 hr after infusion, at least 1 additional infusion administered for complete resolution or with no additional infusion administered; Moderate: probable or slight improvement starting after 8 hr following infusion, at least 1 additional infusion administered for complete resolution; No Response: no improvement at all between infusions or during 24 hr interval following infusion or condition worsen. Bleeds for which response not recorded, reported as: Data Not Recorded.	Within 48 hours after infusion, up to 2 years treatment duration
Secondary	Total Number of Breakthrough Bleeding Episodes Occurring Within 48 Hours After a Prophylaxis Infusion of ReFacto AF	The number of breakthrough bleeds (spontaneous or traumatic) within 48 hours following a prophylaxis dose of ReFacto AF are summarized. If there was more than 1 bleed location (like ankle and joint) with identical bleed start date and time, it was treated as 1 bleed occurrence.	2 years
Secondary	Consumption of Total International Units of Factor VIII		2 years
Secondary	Consumption of Total International Units of Factor VIII Per Year	Consumption of total international units of Factor VIII per year was calculated for a participant: dividing the total consumption of factor VIII by participant's treatment interval duration (in days), then multiplying by 365.25.	2 years
Secondary	Mean Dose (IU) of Study Drug Consumed Per Infusion	Mean dose for each participant was calculated as participant's total factor VIII consumption (in IU) divided by the number of infusions administered.	2 years
Secondary	Consumption of Total International Units of Factor VIII by Weight	Consumption of total international units of Factor VIII by weight was calculated for a participant: dividing the total consumption of factor VIII by participant's weight (the most recently recorded).	2 years
Secondary	Consumption of Total International Units of Factor VIII Per Year by Weight	Consumption of total international units of Factor VIII per year by weight was calculated for a participant: the total consumption of factor VIII divided by participant's treatment interval duration (in days), then multiplying by 365.25 and then dividing by participant's weight (the most recently recorded).	2 years
Secondary	Mean Dose (IU) of Study Drug Consumed Per Infusion by Weight	Mean dose for each participant was calculated as participant's total factor consumption (in IU) divided by the number of infusions administered and then dividing by participant's weight (the most recently recorded).	2 years
Secondary	Mean of Total Number of Infusions of Study Drug Received		2 years
Secondary	Mean of Total Number of Days Participants Exposed to Study Drug		2 years
Secondary	Number of Participants Who Required Dose Escalation of Their Prescribed Prophylaxis Regimen During Their Participation in This Study	The number of participants who met the dose escalation criteria were prescribed a higher dose and/or were prescribed more frequent doses. When dose escalation was required, the specific dose and dosing schedule was at the investigator's discretion.	2 years
Secondary	Percentage of Bleeding Episodes With Less-Than-Expected Therapeutic Effect (LETE) in On-Demand (OD) Setting	LETE occurs in OD setting if participant recorded 2 successive "No Response" (no improvement at all between infusions, or condition worsens) ratings after 2 successive infusions of study drug. Infusions must have been given within 24 hours (hr) of each other for treatment of same bleeding event in absence of confounding factors (known presence or subsequent identification of a FVIII inhibitor, known inadequate dose for type and/or severity of bleed in opinion of investigator, delay of greater than (>) 4 hr between onset of bleed to infusion, delay of >24 hr before administration of a follow-up infusion, known compromised study drug, faulty administration of study drug, participant had an underlying, predisposing condition responsible for bleed in opinion of investigator, ongoing trauma responsible for continued bleeding.	2 years
Secondary	Percentage of Bleeding Episodes With Less-Than-Expected Therapeutic Effect (LETE) in the Prophylaxis Setting	LETE in prophylaxis setting if there was a spontaneous bleed within 48 hours after a regularly scheduled prophylactic dose of study drug (which was not used to treat a bleed) in the absence of confounding factors (known presence or subsequent identification of a FVIII inhibitor, known inadequate prophylactic dose [a dose less than that prescribed in participant's regimen], known lack of adherence to the prescribed prophylaxis regimen, known compromised study drug, faulty administration of study drug, participant had an underlying, predisposing condition responsible for the bleed in the opinion of the investigator, traumatic injury responsible for bleeding.	2 years
Secondary	Total Number of Events of Potential Less-Than-Expected Therapeutic Effect (LETE) in the Low Recovery Setting	LETE was lower than expected recovery of FVIII in the opinion of the investigator following infusion of study drug in the absence of confounding factors (known presence or subsequent identification of a FVIII inhibitor, known compromised study drug, faulty administration of study drug including inadequate dosing).	2 years
