Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Assessment (Clearance) of FVIII:C	0h, 0.25h, 1h, 6h, 24h and 48 h following a single dose of Wilate	PK assessments of the factor VIII coagulant activity (FVIII:C) for Wilate were determined using the one-stage (OS) assay. The units of measure to calculate clearance are decilitre (dL)/ hours (h)/ kilograms (kg).
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Assessment (Area Under the Curve (AUC)) of FVIII:C	0h, 0.25h, 1h, 6h, 24h and 48 h following a single dose of Wilate	PK assessments of the factor VIII coagulant activity (FVIII:C) for Wilate were determined using the one-stage (OS) assay. The units of measure to calculate AUC is hours (h) x international units (IU)/decilitre (dL).
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Assessment (Area Under the Curve [AUC] Normalised (AUCNorm)) of FVIII:C for Wilate	0h, 0.25h, 1h, 6h, 24h and 48 h following a single dose of Wilate	PK assessments of the factor VIII coagulant activity (FVIII:C) for Wilate were determined using the one-stage (OS) assay. The mean area under the curve normalised for the administered dose (AUCnorm) was calculated for Wilate. The units of measure used were AUC divided by dose.

The units of measure to calculate half-life is hours.
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Assessment (Maximum Plasma Concentration) for FVIII:C	0h, 0.25h, 1h, 6h, 24h and 48 h following a single dose of Wilate	PK assessments of FVIII:C were determined using the one-stage (OS) assays. The maximum plasma concentration of FVIII:C was calculated based on the FVIII:C values measured in the patients participating in the PK study. Units of measure for maximum plasma concentration are international units (IU)/ decilitre (dL)
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Assessment (Time to Reach Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax)) of FVIII:C	48 h following a single dose of Wilate	PK assessments of the factor VIII coagulant activity (FVIII:C) for Wilate were determined using the one-stage (OS) assay. The units of measure to calculate Tmax is hours (h).
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Assessment (Volume of Distribution (Vd)) of FVIII:C	0h, 0.25h, 1h, 6h, 24h and 48 h following a single dose of Wilate	PK assessments of the factor VIII coagulant activity (FVIII:C) for Wilate were determined using the one-stage (OS) assay. The units of measure to calculate Vd is decilitre (dL)/ kilograms (kg).
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Assessment (Mean Residence Time (MRT)) of FVIII:C	48 h following a single dose of Wilate	PK assessments of the factor VIII coagulant activity (FVIII:C) for Wilate were determined using the one-stage (OS) assay. The units of measure to calculate MRT is hours.
Incremental In Vivo Recovery (IVR) of FVIII:C	48 h following a single dose of Wilate	The incremental IVR was determined from all patients at baseline was determined using the one-stage (OS) assay (standardised to 50 IU/kg). The units of measure to calculate IVR is kilograms (kg) / deciliter (dL)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Association Between ABO Blood Type and the FVIII:C Half-life of Wilate (OS Assay)	6 months	Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used in an exploratory sense to assess a possible association between the ABO blood type and the FVIII:C half-life of Wilate. This was analysed by calculating the mean square in a one-stage (OS) assay.
Association Between VWF:Ag Concentration and the FVIII:C Half-life of Wilate	6 months	Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used in an exploratory sense to assess a possible association between VWF:Ag with the FVIII:C half-life of Wilate. This was analysed by calculating the mean square in a one-stage (OS) assay.
Spontaneous Annualized Bleeding Rate (SABR)	6 months	The SABR was calculated in analogy to the TABR. The total number of spontaneous bleeding events (BEs) in the time period between the first dose of IMP and the study completion visit, divided by the duration (in years) between the first dose of IMP and the study completion visit. Surgery periods, and BEs occurring within these periods, will be excluded from the calculation of the SABR.
Total Annualized Bleeding Rate (TABR)	6 months	The total number of bleeding events (BEs) in the time period between the first dose of IMP and the study completion visit, divided by the duration (in years) between the first dose of IMP and the study completion visit. Surgery periods, and BEs occurring within these periods, will be excluded from the calculation of TABR.
Efficacy of Wilate in the Treatment of Breakthrough Bleeding Events (BEs)	6 months	The proportion of BEs successfully treated with Wilate was assessed by the patient (together with the investigator in case of on-site treatment) in a patient diary. The treatment efficacy for all BEs was assessed using a pre-defined four-point scale: 'excellent', 'good', 'moderate', 'none'. 'Excellent' was defined as "Abrupt pain relief and/or unequivocal improvement in objective signs of bleeding within approximately 8 hours after a single injection" (best outcome); 'good 'was defined as "definite pain relief and/or improvement in signs of bleeding within approximately 8-12 hours after an injection, requiring up to 2 injections for complete resolution". All efficacy ratings assessed as either 'excellent' or 'good' were considered 'successfully treated'. 'Moderate' was defined as "probable or slight beneficial effect within approximately 12 hours after the first injection" and 'none' defined as "no improvement within 12 hours, or worsening of symptoms".
Wilate Consumption Data: Average Dose of Wilate Per Week of Study	6 months	The average consumption of Wilate per week of the study (IU/kg) for all patients receiving prophylaxis
Safety and Tolerability of Wilate by Monitoring The Number of Adverse Events (AEs) Throughout the Study	6 months	At each visit (whether scheduled or unscheduled) , AEs will be documented by the investigator throughout the study. In addition, the investigator will check the patient diaries for any documented event.
Immunogenicity of Wilate: Number of Participants With FVIII Inhibitor Activity at 6 Months	6 months	FVIII inhibitor activity was determined at each study visit: screening, PK, Day 14 visit, Day 30 visit, 3 Months visit and 6 Months visit before injection.
Incremental in Vivo Recovery (IVR) of Wilate Over Time	Baseline, and 3 and 6 months of treatment	The rise in FVIII:C activity in IU/dl per unit dose administered in IU/kg was determined for all patients at baseline, 3 and 6 months, using the one-stage (OS) assay.
Virus Safety Measured by the Number With Parvovirus B19 Seroconversions Between Baseline (BL) and End of Study	6 months	Virus safety was evaluated by taking a plasma sample for parvovirus B19 antibody testing before the first injection of Wilate at the PK visit. All patients negative at screening were tested again at the Study Completion visit. The number of Parvovirus B19 seroconversions between BL and end of study was recorded
