GroupInterventionDescription
Recombinant coagulation factor VIII Fc (rFVIIIFc)rFVIIIFcParticipants were to receive rFVIIIFc at a dose of 200 international units (IU)/kilogram (kg) as once daily injections or divided on several injections per day at the discretion of the Investigator, starting at baseline visit up to maximum of 48 Weeks in ITI Period. Participants who met the criteria for immune tolerance induction (ITI) success entered the tapering period and received rFVIIIFc at a dose adjusted according to Investigator judgment based on the FVIII activity levels and with the aim of tapering the rFVIIIFc dose to reach a prophylactic dosing regimen within 16 weeks (4 months). Follow-Up was for 32 weeks under an adjusted prophylactic regimen according to Investigator judgment.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to Tolerization With rFVIIIFcUp to 48 Weeks

Time required for participants to achieve immune tolerance induction (ITI) success where ITI success is defined as achieving all 3 of the following criteria: confirmed negative titers consisting of 2 consecutive negative inhibitor assessments within 2 weeks (less than \[\<\] 0.6 Bethesda units/milliliter \[mL\] by the Nijmegen-modified Bethesda assay); incremental recovery (IR) greater than or equal to (\>=) 66 percent (%) of the expected IR in 2 consecutive assessments; half-life (t½) \>= 7 hours.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Annualized rFVIIIFc Consumption for Overall Study PeriodUp to 2 Years

Annualized rFVIIIFc consumption for a treatment period is the total nominal rFVIIIFc (IU/kg) / length of period in days \* 365.25.

Annualized Bleeding Rates During ITI PeriodUp to 48 weeks

A bleeding episode started from the first sign of a bleed and ended no more than 72 hours after the last treatment for the bleed, within which any symptoms of bleeding at the same location or injections less than or equal to 72 hours apart were considered the same bleeding episode. Annualized bleeding rate for a patient during the ITI period is defined as the number of bleeding episodes divided by the length of the ITI period in days\* 365.25.

Number of Participants With Immune Tolerance Induction (ITI) SuccessUp to 48 Weeks

Number of participants who achieve ITI success where ITI success is defined as achieving all 3 of the following criteria: confirmed negative titers consisting of 2 consecutive negative inhibitor assessments within 2 weeks (\<0.6 Bethesda units/mL by the Nijmegen-modified Bethesda assay); incremental recovery (IR) \>= 66% of the expected IR at 2 consecutive assessments; half-life (t½) \>=7 hours.

Number of Participants Who Experienced RelapseUp to 48 weeks (16 weeks Tapering period and 32 weeks follow-up period)

Number of Participants with ITI success who reaches the criteria for relapse (defined as confirmed positive inhibitor titer \>= 0.6 BU/mL or abnormal recovery after tolerance is achieved, and t½ less than \[\<\] 7 hours) evaluated during the Tapering or Follow-Up Periods

Average Number of Days Missed From Work or School Per Month During ITI PeriodUp to 48 weeks

Average number of days missed from school or work per month for a period (counting in non-missing diary days) is defined as number of the missing school/work days in the period divided by number of days with data entry in the period.

Number of days per month missed from school or work is reported for those who attend school or have a job.

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs) as a Measure of Safety and TolerabilityUp to 2 Years

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death; in the view of the Investigator, places the participant at immediate risk of death (a life-threatening event); requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect; any other medically important event that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may jeopardize the participant or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition.

Average Number of Days Missed From Work or School Per Month After ITI PeriodUp to 48 weeks (16 weeks Tapering period & 32 weeks Follow-up period)

Average number of days missed from school or work per month for a period (counting in non-missing diary days) is defined as number of the missing school/work days in the period divided by number of days with data entry in the period.

Number of days per month missed from school or work is reported for those who attend school or have a job.

Annualized Number of Hospitalization Days During ITI PeriodUp to 48 weeks

Annualized number of hospitalization days during a period for a patient is defined as the number of hospitalization days divided by the length of the period in days \* 365.25.

Annualized Number of Hospitalization Days After ITI PeriodUp to 48 weeks (16 weeks Tapering period & 32 weeks Follow-up period)

Annualized number of hospitalization days during a period for a patient is defined as the number of hospitalization days divided by the length of the period in days \* 365.25.

Annualized Bleeding Rates After ITI PeriodUp to 48 weeks (16 weeks Tapering period and 32 weeks follow-up period)

A bleeding episode started from the first sign of a bleed and ended no more than 72 hours after the last treatment for the bleed, within which any symptoms of bleeding at the same location or injections less than or equal to 72 hours apart were considered the same bleeding episode. Annualized bleeding rate for a patient after the ITT period (for tapering and follow-up period) is defined as the number of bleeding episodes divided by the length of the period after the ITI period in days\* 365.25.

Adherence to Treatment Regimen Overall Study PeriodUp to 2 Years

Adherence to treatment is based on prescribed daily dose for the overall study period which is defined as the percentage of administered doses versus the prescribed doses to a patient for the entire study duration.
