Secondary	Pharmacokinetics (PK): Incremental Recovery (IR)	The rise in FIX activity in IU/dL per unit dose administered in IU/kg. Calculated as follows: (FIX activity at post-infusion minus FIX activity at pre-infusion) divided by weight-adjusted dose	Within 30 mins pre-infusion and 30 mins post-infusion
Secondary	Pharmacokinetics (PK): Elimination Phase Half-life (T 1/2)	Calculated as log_e2/?, where ? is the regression slope in the terminal phase of the least absolute deviations regression model	Within 30 mins pre-infusion and 4 post-infusion timepoints. Refer to Population Description below for more details.
Secondary	Pharmacokinetics (PK): Volume of Distribution at Steady State (Vss)	Computed as Clearance (CL) * Mean residence time (MRT)	Within 30 mins pre-infusion and 4 post-infusion timepoints. Refer to Population Description below for more details.
Secondary	Pharmacokinetics (PK): Incremental Recovery (IR) Over Time	IR calculated as follows: (FIX activity at post-infusion minus FIX activity at pre-infusion) divided by weight-adjusted dose. IR is determined at baseline (PK analysis), Week 5, Week 13 and Week 26 timepoints. Number of participants contributing data (N) for this outcome measure is included in the category title in the order: pediatric participants > 6 years of age; pediatric participants 6 to <12 years of age; pharmacokinetic Full Analysis Set (PKFAS).

Secondary	Hemostatic Efficacy: Treatment of Bleeding Episodes: Number of Infusions Per Bleeding Episode		Throughout study period (approximately 17 months)
Secondary	Hemostatic Efficacy: Treatment of Bleeding Episodes: Overall Hemostatic Efficacy Rating at Resolution of Bleed	Rating Scale for Treatment of bleeding episodes (4-point ordinal scale): - Excellent: Full relief of pain and cessation of objective signs of bleeding (eg, swelling, tenderness, and decreased range of motion in the case of musculoskeletal hemorrhage) after a single infusion. No additional infusion required for the control of bleeding. Administration of further infusions to maintain hemostasis did not affect this scoring. - Good: Definite pain relief and/or improvement in signs of bleeding after a single infusion. Possibly requires more than 1 infusion for complete resolution. - Fair: Probable and/or slight relief of pain and slight improvement in signs of bleeding after single infusion. Required more than 1 infusion for complete resolution. - None: No improvement or condition worsens.	Throughout study period (approximately 17 months)
Secondary	Hemostatic Efficacy: Prophylaxis: Annualized Bleeding Rate (ABR)	The annualized bleeding rate (ABR) during prophylaxis was calculated only for participants who had adequate treatment time for bleeding rate assessment (i.e., more than 3 months of prophylaxis treatment). The observation period for prophylaxis was to be the time between the first and the last prophylactic infusions. The treatment period for surgery was to be excluded from the bleed rate calculation. ABR calculated as (Number of bleeding episodes/observed treatment period in days) * 365.25.	Throughout study period (approximately 17 months)

Secondary	Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL): PedsQL™ Change From Baseline in Total Score	For this study, the PedsQL™ questionnaires for participants 2 to 7 years of age (parent-proxy versions for age groups 2-4 years and 5-7 years) and PedsQL™ Child version for participants 8 to 12 years of age were used. The Peds-QL is a generic Health-Related Quality of Life (HR QoL) instrument designed specifically for a pediatric population. It captures the following domains: general health/activities, feelings/emotional, social functioning, school functioning. A 5-point score is used for each domain: from 0 (never) to 4 (almost always). Items are reversed scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale as follows: 0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, 4=0 so that higher scores indicate better quality of life (QoL). The total score is the mean (average) of all scores from the 4 domains. The change from baseline in total score is reported- a positive score indicates a better QoL compared to baseline and a negative score indicates a poorer QoL compared to baseline.	Baseline and 6 months
Secondary	Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL): Haemo-QoL, Change From Baseline in Total Score	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. For the Haemo-QoL, higher scores indicate a worse quality of life. Scores on a scale range between 0 and 100.	Baseline and 6 months
