Hemophilia A
Conditions
Brief summary
This multicenter, open-label, Phase 3 study with randomized and non-randomized arms is designed to investigate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of emicizumab in participants with hemophilia A regardless of factor VIII (FVIII) inhibitor status. Participants greater than or equal to (≥)12 years old who received episodic therapy with FVIII or bypassing agents prior to study entry and experienced at least 5 bleeds over the prior 24 weeks will be randomized in a 2:2:1 ratio to the following regimens: Arm A: Emicizumab prophylaxis at 3 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) once every week (QW) subcutaneously (SC) for 4 weeks, followed by 1.5 mg/kg QW SC; Arm B: Emicizumab prophylaxis at 3 mg/kg QW SC for 4 weeks, followed by 6 mg/kg once every 4 weeks (Q4W) SC; and Arm C: No prophylaxis (control arm). In addition, pediatric participants less than (\<)12 years old with hemophilia A and FVIII inhibitors who received episodic therapy with bypassing agents prior to study entry will be enrolled to Arm D: Emicizumab prophylaxis at 3 mg/kg QW SC for 4 weeks, followed by 1.5 mg/kg QW SC.
Interventions
Emicizumab will be administered via subcutaneous (SC) injection, as described for each treatment arm.

| Model-Based Annualized Bleeding Rate for Treated Bleeds | From Baseline to at least 24 weeks | The number of treated bleeds over the efficacy period was estimated as an annualized bleeding rate (ABR) using a negative binomial regression model, which accounts for different follow-up times. A treated bleed was defined as a bleed that was directly followed by a hemophilia medication reported to be a "treatment for bleed". 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. |
| Mean Calculated Annualized Bleeding Rate for Treated Bleeds | From Baseline to at least 24 weeks | The number of treated bleeds over the efficacy period is presented here as a calculated annualized bleeding rate (ABR) that was annualized for each participant using the following formula: ABR = (number of bleeds/number of days during the efficacy period) x 365.25. A treated bleed was defined as a bleed that was directly followed by a hemophilia medication reported to be a "treatment for bleed". 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. |
| Median Calculated Annualized Bleeding Rate for Treated Bleeds | From Baseline to at least 24 weeks | The number of treated bleeds over the efficacy period is presented here as a calculated annualized bleeding rate (ABR) that was annualized for each participant using the following formula: ABR = (number of bleeds/number of days during the efficacy period) x 365.25.

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 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, or 4 = potentially life-threatening 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. |

Outcome results
Mean Calculated Annualized Bleeding Rate for Treated Bleeds
The number of treated bleeds over the efficacy period is presented here as a calculated annualized bleeding rate (ABR) that was annualized for each participant using the following formula: ABR = (number of bleeds/number of days during the efficacy period) x 365.25. A treated bleed was defined as a bleed that was directly followed by a hemophilia medication reported to be a treatment for bleed. 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.
Time frame: From Baseline to at least 24 weeks
Population: All participants, which includes those randomized to Arms A, B, and C, and those enrolled in Arm D of the study.
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) |

Model-Based Annualized Bleeding Rate for Treated Bleeds
The number of treated bleeds over the efficacy period was estimated as an annualized bleeding rate (ABR) using a negative binomial regression model, which accounts for different follow-up times. A treated bleed was defined as a bleed that was directly followed by a hemophilia medication reported to be a treatment for bleed. 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.

Arm D: Change From Baseline in the Caregiver-Reported Adapted Health-Related Quality of Life for Hemophilia Patients With Inhibitors (Adapted Inhib-QoL) Including Aspects of Caregiver Burden Questionnaire Score Over Time
Proxy assessment of HRQoL and aspects of caregiver burden for all children, regardless of age, were collected using the Adapted Inhib-QoL with Aspects of Caregiver Burden questionnaire. The questionnaire comprises two parts. The first part asks the caregiver for his/her opinion on the child's HRQoL (proxy HRQoL). The second part asks the caregiver to rate how the child's situation is for them (i.e., the impact of the child's disease and treatment on the caregiver). Items are rated with 5 respective response options: never, seldom, sometimes, often, and all the time. Scores range from 0 to 100, with lower scores reflective of better HRQoL. A total score is calculated as the sum of all of the items in the scale.
Time frame: Baseline (Week 1) and Weeks 17, 29, 37, and 49, every 12 weeks during extension phase, and study completion (up to 48 months)
Arms A, B, and C: Adjusted Mean EQ-5D-5L Index Utility Score at Week 25
The European Quality of Life 5-Dimensions-5 Levels Questionnaire (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.

Arms A, B, and C: Hemophilia-Specific Quality of Life Short Form (Haemo-QoL-SF) Questionnaire Total Score at Baseline and Week 25 in Participants 12 to 17 Years of Age
The Haemo-QoL-SF contains 35 items covering nine dimensions considered relevant for the adolescent's (aged 12-17 years) health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Items are rated with five respective response options: never, seldom, sometimes, often, and always. The score ranges from 0 to 100, and a higher score is indicative of poorer HRQoL. According to the pre-specified statistical analysis plan, no statistical analyses were performed on the protocol-defined endpoints for the Haemo-QoL-SF due to the small number of adolescents randomized to Arms A, B and C.
Time frame: Baseline and Week 25
Population: Only adolescents (aged 12-17 years) randomized to Arms A, B, and C were included in this analysis. The number analyzed represents participants who provided responses at Baseline and Week 25.

Intra-Participant Comparison of the Calculated Annualized Bleeding Rate for All Bleeds With Emicizumab Prophylaxis On-Study Versus With Previous Episodic Therapy Pre-Study
This is an intra-participant comparison of the annualized bleeding rate (ABR) for all bleeds pre-study versus on-study in the non-interventional study (NIS) population previously treated with episodic therapy in NIS BH29768. The ABR was calculated for each participant using the following formula: ABR = (number of bleeds/number of days during the efficacy period) x 365.25. All bleeds are included, irrespective of treatment with coagulation factors, with the following exception: bleeds due to surgery/procedure are excluded. All bleeds comprises both treated and non-treated bleeds, and the 72-hour rule was implemented separately for each type. For treated bleeds, the 72-hour rule meant that 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. For non-treated bleeds, the 72-hour rule was calculated as a treatment-free period of 72 hours from the bleed itself.
Time frame: Efficacy periods: At least 24 weeks prior to study entry (mean [min-max] for A+B NIS-Previous Episodic Therapy: 183 [169-221] days); and From Baseline to at least 24 weeks on study (mean [min-max] for A+B NIS-Emicizumab: 363 [324-422] days)

Model-Based Annualized Bleeding Rate for Treated Spontaneous Bleeds
The number of treated spontaneous bleeds over the efficacy period was estimated as an annualized bleeding rate (ABR) using a negative binomial regression model, which accounts for different follow-up times. A treated spontaneous bleed was defined as a treated bleed (bleed directly followed by a hemophilia medication reported to be a treatment for bleed) with no other known contributing factor such as trauma or procedure/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.
Time frame: From Baseline to at least 24 weeks
Population: All participants, which includes those randomized to Arms A, B, and C, and those enrolled in Arm D of the study.

Model-Based Annualized Bleeding Rate for Treated Target Joint Bleeds
The number of treated target joint bleeds over the efficacy period was estimated as an annualized bleeding rate (ABR) using a negative binomial regression model, which accounts for different follow-up times. A treated target joint bleed was 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 or an unresolved target joint (target joint that does not fulfil ≤2 bleeds into this joint within a consecutive 12-month period), and the bleed was directly followed by a hemophilia medication reported to be a treatment for bleed. 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.
Time frame: From Baseline to at least 24 weeks
Population: All participants, which includes those randomized to Arms A, B, and C, and those enrolled in Arm D of the study.
