Intervention

Drug:
Emicizumab
Participants received emicizumab prophylaxis subcutaneously at the specified dose for each arm. After at least 24 weeks on prophylactic emicizumab, individuals who experienced suboptimal bleeding control on emicizumab (according to protocol-defined criteria) had the opportunity to increase their dose to 3 mg/kg weekly. Upon implementation of protocol version 4 (20-Dec-2019), treatment duration was extended. During this study prolongation, each participant had the option to choose a preferred emicizumab dosing regimen among those permitted (i.e., emicizumab 1.5 mg/kg once every week [QW], 3 mg/kg once every 2 weeks [Q2W], or 6 mg/kg once every 4 weeks [Q4W]) and continue on that dosing regimen until discontinuation from the study.
Factor VIII (FVIII)
FVIII was allowed to treat bleeds on an episodic basis, per the local prescribing information. Specific dosages of FVIII were not mandated in the study. Breakthrough bleeds were to be treated with the lowest FVIII dose expected to achieve hemostasis, which may have been lower than the participant's prior FVIII dose. To avoid bleeds before adequate emicizumab level is reached, patients in Arm D continued their regular FVIII prophylaxis until the second emicizumab loading dose. Concomitant routine FVIII prophylaxis was not permissible otherwise during the study.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Annualized Bleeding Rate (ABR) for Treated Bleeds The number of treated bleeds over the efficacy period is presented as an annualized bleeding rate (ABR) that was assessed using a negative binomial (NB) regression model, which accounts for different follow-up times, with the number of bleeds as a function of randomization and the time that each participant stays in the study (i.e., length of the efficacy period) included as an offset in the model. The model also includes the number of bleeds (<9 or =9) in the last 24 weeks prior to study entry as a stratification factor. A bleed is considered a "treated bleed" if it is directly followed (i.e., no intervening bleed) by a hemophilia medication reported to be a "treatment for bleed", irrespective of the time between treatment and the preceding bleed. Bleeds due to surgery/procedure are excluded. From Baseline to at least 24 weeks (median [min-max] efficacy periods for Arm C: 24.00 [14.4-25.0] weeks; Arm A: 29.57 [17.3-49.6] weeks; Arm B: 31.29 [3.3-50.6] weeks; Arm D: 33.14 [18.4-48.6] weeks)
Secondary Annualized Bleeding Rate (ABR) for All Bleeds The number of all bleeds over the efficacy period is presented as an annualized bleeding rate (ABR) that was assessed using a NB regression model, which accounts for different follow-up times, with the patient's number of bleeds as a function of randomization and the time that each patient stays in the study (i.e., length of the efficacy period) included as an offset in the model. The model also includes the number of bleeds (<9 or =9) in the last 24 weeks prior to study entry as a stratification factor. "All bleeds" comprises both treated and non-treated bleeds. In this definition, all bleeds are included, irrespective of treatment with coagulation factors, with the following exception: bleeds due to surgery/procedure are excluded. From Baseline to at least 24 weeks (median [min-max] efficacy periods for Arm C: 24.00 [14.4-25.0] weeks; Arm A: 29.57 [17.3-49.6] weeks; Arm B: 31.29 [3.3-50.6] weeks; Arm D: 33.14 [18.4-48.6] weeks)
Secondary Annualized Bleeding Rate (ABR) for Treated Joint Bleeds The number of treated joint bleeds over the efficacy period is presented as an annualized bleeding rate (ABR) that was assessed using a NB regression model, which accounts for different follow-up times, with the patient's number of bleeds as a function of randomization and the time that each patient stays in the study (i.e., length of the efficacy period) included as an offset in the model. The model also includes the number of bleeds (<9 or =9) in the last 24 weeks prior to study entry as a stratification factor. A "joint bleed" is defined as a bleed reported as "joint" and with at least one of the following symptoms: increasing swelling or warmth of the skin over the joint; and/or increasing pain, decreased range of motion, or difficulty using the joint compared with baseline. It is considered a "treated joint bleed" if it is directly followed (i.e., no intervening bleed) by a hemophilia medication reported to be a "treatment for bleed". Bleeds due to surgery/procedure are excluded. From Baseline to at least 24 weeks (median [min-max] efficacy periods for Arm C: 24.00 [14.4-25.0] weeks; Arm A: 29.57 [17.3-49.6] weeks; Arm B: 31.29 [3.3-50.6] weeks; Arm D: 33.14 [18.4-48.6] weeks)
Secondary Annualized Bleeding Rate (ABR) for Treated Spontaneous Bleeds The number of treated spontaneous bleeds over the efficacy period is presented as an annualized bleeding rate (ABR) that was assessed using a NB regression model, which accounts for different follow-up times, with the patient's number of bleeds as a function of randomization and the time that each patient stays in the study (i.e., length of the efficacy period) included as an offset in the model. The model also includes the number of bleeds (<9 or =9) in the last 24 weeks prior to study entry as a stratification factor. A bleed is classified as "spontaneous" if there is no other known contributing factor such as trauma or procedure/surgery. A "treated spontaneous bleed" is a spontaneous bleed that is directly followed (i.e., no intervening bleed) by a hemophilia medication reported to be a "treatment for bleed". Bleeds due to surgery/procedure are excluded. From Baseline to at least 24 weeks (median [min-max] efficacy periods for Arm C: 24.00 [14.4-25.0] weeks; Arm A: 29.57 [17.3-49.6] weeks; Arm B: 31.29 [3.3-50.6] weeks; Arm D: 33.14 [18.4-48.6] weeks)
Secondary Annualized Bleeding Rate (ABR) for Treated Target Joint Bleeds The number of treated target joint bleeds over the efficacy period is presented as an annualized bleeding rate (ABR) that was assessed using a NB regression model, which accounts for different follow-up times, with the patient's number of bleeds as a function of randomization and the time that each patient stays in the study (i.e., length of the efficacy period) included as an offset in the model. The model also includes the number of bleeds (<9 or =9) in the last 24 weeks prior to study entry as a stratification factor. A "target joint bleed" is defined as a bleed reported as a joint bleed into a target joint, defined as at least 3 bleeds into the same joint during the last 24 weeks prior to study entry. It is considered a "treated target joint bleed" if it is directly followed (i.e., no intervening bleed) by a hemophilia medication reported to be a "treatment for bleed". Bleeds due to surgery/procedure are excluded. From Baseline to at least 24 weeks (median [min-max] efficacy periods for Arm C: 24.00 [14.4-25.0] weeks; Arm A: 29.57 [17.3-49.6] weeks; Arm B: 31.29 [3.3-50.6] weeks; Arm D: 33.14 [18.4-48.6] weeks)

The number of treated bleeds over the efficacy period is presented as an ABR that was assessed using a NB regression model, which accounts for different follow-up times, with the number of bleeds as a function of treatment and the time that each participant stays in the study (i.e., length of the efficacy period) included as an offset in the model. The model also includes a repeated statement to account for intra-participant comparison. A bleed is considered a "treated bleed" if it is directly followed (i.e., no intervening bleed) by a hemophilia medication reported to be a "treatment for bleed", irrespective of the time between treatment and the preceding bleed. Bleeds due to surgery/procedure are excluded. Efficacy periods: At least 24 weeks prior to study entry (median [min-max] for Dnisp-FVIII Prophylaxis: 30.07 [5.0-45.1] weeks); and From Baseline to at least 24 weeks on study (median [min-max] for Dnisp-Emicizumab Prophylaxis: 33.71 [20.1-48.6] weeks)

Secondary Hemophilia A Quality of Life (Haem-A-QoL) Questionnaire Physical Health Subscore for Adult Participants (=18 Years of Age) in the Randomized Population at Week 25 The Haem-A-QoL questionnaire has been developed and used in hemophilia A participants, assessing very specific aspects of dealing with hemophilia. The questionnaire consists of items pertaining to 10 domains: physical health, sports and leisure, school and work, dealing with hemophilia, family planning, feeling, relationships, treatment, view of yourself, and outlook for the future. The total score for each domain ranges from 0 to 100 with lower scores reflective of better quality of life. Physical Health domain score is reported (range 0 to 100, with lower scores reflective of better physical health). The means were derived via an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model and have been adjusted for the following co-variates: baseline score, treatment group, and treatment by baseline interaction term. Baseline, Week 25
Secondary Haem-A-QoL Questionnaire Total Score for Adult Participants (=18 Years of Age) in the Randomized Population at Week 25 The Haem-A-QoL questionnaire has been developed and used in hemophilia A participants, assessing very specific aspects of dealing with hemophilia. The questionnaire consists of items pertaining to 10 domains: physical health, sports and leisure, school and work, dealing with hemophilia, family planning, feeling, relationships, treatment, view of yourself, and outlook for the future. The total score for each domain ranges from 0 to 100 with lower scores reflective of better quality of life. Haem-A-QoL Total Score is the average of all domain scores and it ranges from 0 to 100, with lower scores reflective of better quality of life. The means were derived via an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model and have been adjusted for the following co-variates: baseline score, treatment group, and treatment by baseline interaction term. Baseline, Week 25
Secondary European Quality of Life 5-Dimensions-5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Questionnaire Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Score in the Randomized Population at Week 25 EQ-5D-5L is a standardized, participant-rated questionnaire to assess health-related quality of life. The EQ-5D-5L includes 2 components: the EQ-5D-5L health state profile (descriptive system) and the EQ-5D-5L VAS. The VAS is designed to rate the participant's current health state on a scale from 0 to 100, where 0 represents the worst imaginable health state and 100 represents the best imaginable health state. The means were derived via an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model and have been adjusted for the following co-variates: baseline score, treatment group, and treatment by baseline interaction term. Baseline, Week 25
Secondary EQ-5D-5L Questionnaire Index Utility Score in the Randomized Population at Week 25 EQ-5D-5L is a standardized, participant-rated questionnaire to assess health-related quality of life. The EQ-5D-5L includes 2 components: the EQ-5D-5L health state profile (descriptive system) and the EQ-5D-5L VAS. The EQ-5D-5L health state profile is designed to record the participant's current health state in 5 domains: mobility, selfcare, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Responses from the five domains are used to calculate a single index utility score on a scale of 0 to 1, with higher scores reflective of better quality of life. The means were derived via an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model and have been adjusted for the following co-variates: baseline score, treatment group, and treatment by baseline interaction term. Baseline, Week 25
Secondary Hemophilia-Specific Quality of Life - Short Form (Haemo-QoL-SF) Questionnaire Score in Adolescent Participants (12 to 17 Years of Age) in the Randomized Population at Week 25 The Haemo-QoL-SF contains 35 items, which cover nine domains considered relevant for the children's health-related quality of life (physical health, feelings, view of yourself, family, friends, other people, sports and school, dealing with hemophilia and treatment). Items are rated with five respective response options: never, seldom, sometimes, often, and always. Haemo-QoL-SF total score range from 0 to 100, where lower scores reflect better health-related quality of life. Week 25

Secondary Safety Summary of the Percentage of Emicizumab-Treated Participants With at Least One Adverse Event During the Study Investigators sought information on adverse events (AEs) at each contact with participants. The WHO toxicity grading scale was used for assessing AE severity (i.e., intensity of an AE); any AEs not specifically listed in the WHO toxicity grading scale were assessed for severity according to the following grades: Grade 1 is mild; Grade 2 is moderate, Grade 3 is severe; Grade 4 is life-threatening; and Grade 5 is death. Regardless of severity, some AEs may have also met seriousness criteria. The terms "severe" and "serious" are not synonymous; severity and seriousness were independently assessed for each AE. For participants whose emicizumab dose was up-titrated and those who opted for a change in dosing regimen (after implementation of protocol v4), only AEs that occurred before either one of those events are included. Hypersens.= hypersensitivity; Mod. = modification From start of emicizumab treatment to study completion, dose up-titration, or change of dosing regimen (median [min-max] efficacy period for all emicizumab participants: 228.14 [7.3-288.3] weeks)
Secondary Long-Term Efficacy of Emicizumab: Model-Based Annualized Bleeding Rates (ABR) for Treated Bleeds, All Bleeds, Treated Spontaneous Bleeds, Treated Joint Bleeds, and Treated Target Joint Bleeds, All Emicizumab Participants The number of bleeds over the efficacy period was assessed as an ABR using a negative binomial (NB) regression model, which accounts for different follow-up times.

Treated spontaneous bleeds: treated bleeds with no known contributing factor (e.g., trauma, surgery). Treated joint bleeds: treated bleeds in a joint associated with unusual sensation (aura) in a joint, in combination with another symptom: swelling/warmth, pain/decreased range of motion (RoM), or difficulty moving the joint. Treated target joint bleeds: treated joint bleeds in a target joint, defined as a joint in which greater than or equal to (=) 3 treated joint bleeds occurred during the last 24 weeks prior to study entry. For all types of bleeds: the 72-hour rule was implemented, and bleeds due to surgery/procedure and bleeds after up-titration or change of dosing regimen were excluded.

Secondary Percentage of Participants With Anti-Emicizumab Antibodies at Any Time Post-Baseline During the Study A validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was used to analyze the levels of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) against emicizumab in plasma. A sample was considered positive for anti-emicizumab antibodies if the test result reached or exceeded a pre-determined threshold. 'Total ADA Positive' is the sum of all subjects who tested positive for ADA in the 2 following categories: 'ADA Positive (Treatment Boosted)', those who are pre-dose ADA positive and have a =4-fold increase in post-dose ADA levels compared to baseline measurement; and 'ADA Positive (Treatment Induced)', those who are pre-dose ADA negative or missing data and who have at least one post-dose ADA positive sample. From Baseline to discontinuation from study (median [min-max] observation period for all emicizumab participants: 262.3 [14.4-288.3] weeks)
Secondary Percentage of Participants With De Novo Development of Factor VIII (FVIII) Inhibitors Levels of anti-FVIII antibodies (inhibitors) were analyzed using a validated FVIII activity assay. A participant was considered to have developed de novo FVIII inhibitors if the inhibitor levels detected in a post-baseline sample reached or exceeded a pre-determined threshold. From Baseline to discontinuation from study (median [min-max] observation period for all emicizumab participants: 262.3 [14.4-288.3] weeks)
Secondary Trough Plasma Concentration (Ctrough) of Emicizumab Trough plasma concentrations of emicizumab were analyzed using a validated Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was 100 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). Because participants in Arm C (Control) switched from no prophylaxis to start receiving emicizumab prophylaxis after Week 24, the timepoints for Arm C (Emi) are expressed relative to first emicizumab dose. Predose at Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 33, 41, 49, 61, 73, 85, 97, 109, 121, 133, 145, 157, 169, 181, 193, 205, 217, 229, 241, 253, 265, and 277
