Haemophilia A
Conditions
Brief summary
The study investigates how well the medicine called turoctocog alfa pegol (N8-GP) works in previously treated Chinese patients with severe haemophilia A. Participants will be treated with N8-GP. This is a medicine that doctors can already prescribe in other countries. The medicine will be injected into a vein (intravenous injections) and blood samples will be collected. The study will last for about 7-8 months. Participants will have between 8 and 15 visits to the clinic and possibly a number of phone calls with the study doctor.
Interventions
N8-GP will be injected into a vein (intravenous injections) every 4 days in at least 28 weeks

Incremental Recovery (IR)
The incremental recovery was calculated by subtracting the FVIII activity (IU/mL) measured in plasma at time 0 from that measured at time 30 min after dosing and dividing this difference by the dose injected at time 0 expressed as IU/kg body weight. FVIII activity was measured with a chromogenic assay.
Time frame: 30 min post-injection at Week 0, Week 28
Population: The PK analysis set included sub-set of participants from FAS who were included for PK assessments. Number analyzed = Number of participants with available data for specific timepoints.

Mean Residence Time
Mean residence time (MRT) calculated as area under the first moment plasma concentration-time curve (AUMC \[0-inf\]) divided by AUC (0-inf). (AUMC \[0-inf\]) is the area under the first moment plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity.

Number of Adverse Events (AEs)
An adverse event (AE) was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of a product, whether or not considered related to the product. All presented AEs are treatment-emergent. A treatment-emergent adverse event was defined as an event with onset after first N8-GP administration.
Time frame: From start of treatment (Week 0) until end of trial (Week 32)
Population: Results were based on the safety analysis set (SAS) which included all participants exposed to N8-GP in this trial.
| Arm | Measure | Value (NUMBER) |

| Adolescents (12-17 Years) | Number of Adverse Events (AEs) | 15 Events |
| Adults (18-70 Years) | Number of Adverse Events (AEs) | 25 Events |
Number of Injections Needed to Treat Bleeding Episodes
The mean number of injections of N8-GP used for treatment of a bleed from start to stop of a bleed was reported.
Time frame: From start of treatment (Week 0) until Week 28
Population: Results were based on the FAS which included all participants exposed to N8-GP in this trial.
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |

Number of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, or is life-threatening, or requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or may have caused a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or requires intervention to prevent permanent impairment or damage. All presented SAEs are treatment-emergent (any serious adverse events which occurred after trial product administration).

Percentage of Participants With Incidence Rate of Confirmed FVIII Inhibitors ≥0.6 BU
Percentage of participants who developed inhibitory antibodies against FVIII was presented. A participant was said to have FVIII-inhibitors if two consecutive tests, preferably within 2 weeks, were positive (greater than or equal to (≥) 0.6 bethesda unit (BU)). For the calculation of the inhibitor rate the numerator was included for all participants with neutralising antibodies while the denominator was included for all participants with a minimum of 50 exposures plus any participants with less than 50 exposures but with neutralising inhibitor.
Time frame: From start of treatment (Week 0) until Week 28
