Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Participants With Serious Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Related to RIXUBIS | From start of study drug administration up to End of treatment (EOT) (up to 6 months) | 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. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Laboratory Abnormalities | From start of study drug administration up to EOT (up to 6 months) | 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). |
| Number of Participants Who Developed Binding Antibodies (Immunoglobulin G [IgG] and Immunoglobulin M [IgM]) to Factor IX (FIX) | From start of study drug administration up to EOT (up to 6 months) | 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. |
| Number of Participants With TEAEs Related to RIXUBIS | From start of study drug administration up to EOT (up to 6 months) | 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. |
| Annualized Bleeding Rate (ABR) With Prophylactic Use of RIXUBIS | From start of study drug administration up to EOT (up to 6 months) | 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. |
| Rate of Success of RIXUBIS for Treatment of Bleeding Episodes | From screening up to EOT (up to 6 months) | 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). |
| Number of Participants Who Developed Binding Antibodies to Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) Proteins and rFurin | From start of study drug administration up to EOT (up to 6 months) | 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. |

Recruitment details
The study was conducted at 8 study sites in India from 07 December 2018 to 11 August 2021.
Pre-assignment details
A total 31 participants were screened, of which 25 participants were enrolled and received RIXUBIS treatment regimen (either on-demand or prophylaxis) based on discretion of the physician choice under standard clinical practice. No participants were enrolled in the on-demand treatment of RIXUBIS. Hence, no data collection and analysis were done during on-demand treatment of this study.
