4. Participant has a detectable FIX inhibitor at screening, with a titer = 0.6 BU as determined by the Nijmegen modification of the Bethesda assay in the central laboratory.

5. Participant has severe chronic liver disease as evidenced by, but not limited to, any of the following: International Normalized Ratio (INR) > 1.4 hypoalbuminemia, portal vein hypertension including presence of otherwise unexplained splenomegaly and history of esophageal varices.

6. Participant has severe chronic hepatic dysfunction [eg, = 5 times upper limit of normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT), as confirmed by central laboratory at screening, or a documented INR > 1.5].

7. Participant has severe renal impairment (serum creatinine > 2.0 mg/dL), as confirmed by central laboratory at screening.

8. Participant has been diagnosed with an inherited or acquired hemostatic defect other than hemophilia B.

9. Participant's platelet count is < 100,000/mL.

10. Participant has a clinically significant medical, psychiatric, or cognitive illness, or recreational drug/alcohol use that, in the opinion of the investigator, would affect participant's safety or compliance.

11. Participant is currently receiving, or is scheduled to receive during the course of the study, an immunomodulating drug (eg, corticosteroid agents at a dose equivalent to hydrocortisone greater than 10 mg/day, or a-interferon) other than antiretroviral chemotherapy.

12. Participant has participated in another clinical study involving an investigational product (IP) or investigational device within 30 days prior to enrollment or is scheduled to participate in another clinical study involving an IP or investigational device during the course of this study.

13. Participant is a family member or employee of the investigator.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Number of Participants With Serious Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Related to RIXUBIS	TEAE was defined as any event not presented prior to the initiation of the treatments or any event already present that worsens in either intensity or frequency following exposure to the treatments. A SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose met one or more of the following criteria: outcome was fatal/resulted in death, life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or resulted in prolongation of an existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, was a medically important event that was not immediately life-threatening or resulted in death or required hospitalization but jeopardize the participant or required medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the above outcomes. Relatedness to study drug was based on physician discretion. Number of participants with serious TEAEs related to RIXUBIS were reported.	From start of study drug administration up to End of treatment (EOT) (up to 6 months)
Secondary	Number of Participants With TEAEs Related to RIXUBIS	TEAE was defined as any event not presented prior to the initiation of the treatments or any event already present that worsens in either intensity or frequency following exposure to the treatments. Relatedness to study drug was based on physician discretion. Number of participants with TEAEs related to RIXUBIS were reported.	From start of study drug administration up to EOT (up to 6 months)
Secondary	Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Laboratory Abnormalities	Clinical laboratory evaluations included clinical chemistry (biochemistry and endocrinology), hematology and urinalysis. Any change in clinical laboratory abnormalities which were deemed clinically significant by the investigator were recorded as TEAEs (defined as any event not presented prior to the initiation of the treatments or any event already present that worsens in either intensity or frequency following exposure to the treatments).	From start of study drug administration up to EOT (up to 6 months)
Secondary	Number of Participants Who Developed Binding Antibodies (Immunoglobulin G [IgG] and Immunoglobulin M [IgM]) to Factor IX (FIX)	Binding antibodies (IgG and IgM) to FIX was determined using validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) employing polyclonal anti-human IgG and IgM antibodies. Number of participants who developed binding antibodies (IgG and IgM) combined data to FIX were reported.	From start of study drug administration up to EOT (up to 6 months)
Secondary	Number of Participants Who Developed Binding Antibodies to Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) Proteins and rFurin	Citrated plasma was assayed for the presence of antibodies to CHO protein and rFurin, derived from cultures of un-transfected cells. Testing for binding anti-CHO protein and rFurin antibodies was done on citrate-anti-coagulated plasma using an ELISA employing polyclonal anti-human IgG antibodies. Number of participants who developed binding antibodies to CHO proteins and rFurin were reported.	From start of study drug administration up to EOT (up to 6 months)
Secondary	Annualized Bleeding Rate (ABR) With Prophylactic Use of RIXUBIS	The ABR was defined as the total number of unique bleeding episodes by participants reported during RIXUBIS treatment for prophylaxis, divided by the RIXUBIS treatment duration for prophylaxis and multiplied by 365.25. A bleeding episode was defined as subjective (pain consistent with a joint bleed) or objective evidence of bleeding which may or may not be associated to a trauma event (spontaneous bleeding). Bleeding occurring at multiple locations related to the same injury (e.g., knee and ankle bleed following a fall) was counted as a single bleeding episode.	From start of study drug administration up to EOT (up to 6 months)
Secondary	Rate of Success of RIXUBIS for Treatment of Bleeding Episodes	The success of RIXUBIS for treatment of bleeding episodes was defined by grouping the categories of "Excellent"/"Good" of the corresponding hemostatic effectiveness ratings of a 4 point Likert scale ("Excellent", "Good", "Moderate" and "None") by the participants/legally authorized representative (LAR) (participants less than (<) 12 years: LAR, participants greater than or equal to (>=) 12 years: self-assessment) for treatments given at home, or by the investigator for treatments given in the hospital/clinic. The rate of success of RIXUBIS for treatment of bleeding episodes was defined as: The number of successful bleeding episodes/total number of bleeding episodes where the treatment of the bleeding was rated *100. Rate of success of RIXUBIS for treatment of bleeding episodes, 95% confidence interval (CIs) was calculated using the exact Binomial CI (Clopper-Pearson method).	From screening up to EOT (up to 6 months)
