Expansion Part: 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 analyzed using a negative binomial regression model with efficacy period as an offset to account for the difference in follow-up times. 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 time between treatment and the preceding bleed. A bleed and the first treatment thereafter and before a new bleed starts, are considered to be pairs, with the following exception: if multiple bleeds occur on the same calendar day, the subsequent treatment is considered to apply for each of these multiple bleeds. The 72-hour rule was implemented: two bleeds of the same type and at the same anatomical location are counted as one bleed if the second bleed occurs within 72 hours from the last treatment for the first bleed. Bleeds due to surgery/procedure are excluded. |

Expansion Part: 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 analyzed using a negative binomial regression model with efficacy period as an offset to account for the difference in follow-up times (i.e., the time that each participant stays in the study). In this outcome measure, all bleeds are included, irrespective of treatment with coagulation factors, with the following exception: bleeds due to surgery/procedure are excluded. As "all bleeds" comprises both treated and non-treated bleeds, the 72-hour rule was implemented separately for treated and non-treated bleeds. For treated bleeds, the 72-hour rule was implemented exactly as defined for the "treated bleeds" outcome measure. For non-treated bleeds, the 72-hour rule was implemented by calculating a treatment-free period of 72 hours from the bleed itself. |

Expansion Part: 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 analyzed using a negative binomial regression model with efficacy period as an offset to account for the difference in follow-up times (i.e., the time that each participant stays in the study). 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 also fulfills the conditions of a treated bleed (see ABR for Treated Bleeds for the definition). Treated bleeds that fulfilled the 72-hour rule were included in the analysis of spontaneous bleeds. Bleeds due to surgery/procedure are excluded. |

Expansion Part: 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 analyzed using a negative binomial regression model with efficacy period as an offset to account for the difference in follow-up times (i.e., the time that each participant stays in the study). A "joint bleed" is defined as a bleed with type 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. A "treated joint bleed" is a joint bleed that also fulfills the conditions of a treated bleed (see ABR for Treated Bleeds for the definition). Treated bleeds that fulfilled the 72-hour rule were included in the analysis of joint bleeds, excluding bleeds due to surgery/procedure. |

Expansion Part: 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 analyzed using a negative binomial regression model with efficacy period as an offset to account for the difference in follow-up times (i.e., the time that each participant stays in the study). A "target joint bleed" is defined as a joint bleed in a target joint, which is a joint location where at least 3 bleeds have occurred over the last 24 weeks prior to study entry. A "treated target joint bleed" is a target joint bleed that also fulfills the conditions of a treated bleed (see ABR for Treated Bleeds for the definition). Bleeds due to surgery/procedure are excluded. |

The Haem-A-QoL is a patient-reported questionnaire that was designed for adult participants with hemophilia. It consists of 46 items comprising 10 dimensions (physical health, sports and leisure, school and work, dealing with hemophilia, family planning, feelings, relationships, treatment, view of yourself, and outlook for the future) and a scale representing Total Score. Items are rated along five response options: never, rarely, sometimes, often, or all the time; although for some items there is also a "not applicable" option. Scale scores range from 0 to 100 with lower scores reflective of better quality of life. A decrease of 7 points or more on the Total Score was defined as the threshold for a clinically meaningful improvement. |

Expansion Part: Change From Baseline to Week 25 in the Hemophilia-Quality of Life-Short Form (Haemo-QoL-SF) Questionnaire Total Score for Adolescent Participants (12-17 Years of Age) |
The Haemo-QoL-SF was developed in a series of age-related questionnaires to measure health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children and adolescents with hemophilia. The short version for older children containing 35 items was selected for adolescents in this study. Items are rated along five response options: never, rarely, sometimes, often, or all the time. This version covers nine dimensions considered relevant for the children's HRQoL (physical health, feelings, view of yourself, family, friends, other people, sports and school, dealing with hemophilia, and treatment). Scale scores range from 0 to 100, with lower scores indicating better HRQoL. Given the small number of adolescent participants, the results of the Haemo-QoL-SF questionnaire should be interpreted with caution. |

Number of Participants With at Least One Adverse Event |
The number of participants experiencing at least one adverse event (AE), including all non-serious and serious AEs, is reported here. According to the ICH guideline for Good Clinical Practice, an AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product, regardless of causal attribution. The terms "severe" and "serious" are not synonymous. A serious AE is any AE that is a significant medical event meeting any of the standard criteria. Severity refers to the intensity of an AE (e.g., rated as mild, moderate, or severe, or according to the World Health Organization [WHO] toxicity grading scale); the event itself may be of relatively minor medical significance. Severity and seriousness were independently assessed by the investigator for each reported AE. |

Number of Participants With at Least One Grade =3 Adverse Event |
The World Health Organization (WHO) Toxicity Grading Scale was used for assessing adverse event (AE) severity. For AEs that are not specifically listed in the WHO Toxicity Grading Scale, a Grade 3 AE is defined as: severe, marked limitation in activity, some assistance usually required, medical intervention or therapy required, hospitalization possible; and a Grade 4 AE is defined as: life-threatening, extreme limitation in activity, significant assistance required, significant medical intervention or therapy required, hospitalization or hospice care probable. The terms "severe" and "serious" are not synonymous. A serious AE is any AE that is a significant medical event meeting any of the standard criteria. Severity refers to the intensity of an AE; the event itself may be of relatively minor medical significance.

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 |
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 bleeds: a bleed for which coagulation factors were administered. All bleeds included both treated and non-treated bleeds. 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. |

The number of treated bleeds over the efficacy period was calculated as: ABR = (number of bleeds/number of days during the efficacy period) x 365.25. Treated bleeds: a bleed for which coagulation factors were administered. The 72-hour rule was implemented: two bleeds of the same type and at the same anatomical location were counted as one bleed if the second bleed occurred within 72 hours from the last treatment for the first bleed. Bleeds due to surgery/procedure were excluded. For participants with dose up-titration or a change in emicizumab dosing regimen (after implementation of protocol v5), the efficacy period ended the day before the first day on the up-titrated dose or changed dosing regimen. |
1-12, 13-24, 25-36, 37-48, 49-60, 61-72, 73-84, 85-96, 97-108, 109-120, 121-132, 133-144, 145-156, 157-168, 169-180, 181-192, 193-204, 205-216, 217-228, 229-240, 241-252, and 253-264 weeks |

Long-Term Efficacy of Emicizumab: Mean Calculated Annualized Bleeding Rates (ABR) for All Bleeds Per 12-Week Intervals Over Time |
The number of all bleeds over the efficacy period was calculated as: ABR = (number of bleeds/number of days during the efficacy period) x 365.25. All bleeds included both treated bleeds (with coagulation factors) and non-treated bleeds. The 72-hour rule was implemented: two bleeds of the same type and at the same anatomical location were counted as one bleed if the second bleed occurred within 72 hours from the last treatment for the first bleed. Bleeds due to surgery/procedure were excluded. For participants with dose up-titration or a change in emicizumab dosing regimen (after implementation of protocol v5), the efficacy period ended the day before the first day on the up-titrated dose or changed dosing regimen. |

Long-Term Efficacy of Emicizumab: Mean Calculated Annualized Bleeding Rates (ABR) for Treated Spontaneous Bleeds Per 12-Week Intervals Over Time |
The number of treated spontaneous bleeds over the efficacy period was calculated as: ABR = (number of bleeds/number of days during the efficacy period) x 365.25. Treated spontaneous bleeds were defined as treated (with coagulation factors) bleeds with no known contributing factor (e.g., trauma, surgery). The 72-hour rule was implemented: two bleeds of the same type and at the same anatomical location were counted as one bleed if the second bleed occurred within 72 hours from the last treatment for the first bleed. Bleeds due to surgery/procedure were excluded. For participants with dose up-titration or a change in emicizumab dosing regimen (after implementation of protocol v5), the efficacy period ended the day before the first day on the up-titrated dose or changed dosing regimen. |
