Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cohort A: Model-Based Annualized Bleed Rate (ABR) for Treated Joint Bleeds in Treated Participants <12 Years of AgeFrom Baseline to 52 weeks; At the primary completion date, the median (min-max) duration of the efficacy period in Cohort A was 57.57 (17.9-92.6) weeks.

The number of treated joint bleeds over the efficacy period is presented here as a model-based ABR that was analyzed using a negative binomial regression model with efficacy period as an offset to account for the difference in follow-up times (i.e., the time that each participant stays in the study). A "joint bleed" is defined as a bleed with type reported as "joint" and with at least one of the following symptoms: increasing swelling or warmth of the skin over the joint and/or increasing pain, decreased range of motion, or difficulty using the joint compared with baseline. A "treated joint bleed" is a joint bleed that also fulfills the conditions of a treated bleed (see ABR for Treated Bleeds for the definition). Only treated bleeds that fulfilled the 72-hour rule were included in the analysis of treated joint bleeds, excluding bleeds due to surgery/procedure.

Cohort A: Mean Calculated Annualized Bleed Rate (ABR) for All Bleeds in Treated Participants <12 Years of AgeFrom Baseline to 52 weeks; At the primary completion date, the median (min-max) duration of the efficacy period in Cohort A was 57.57 (17.9-92.6) weeks.

The number of all bleeds over the efficacy period is presented here as a calculated 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. In this outcome measure, all bleeds are included, irrespective of treatment with coagulation factors, with the following exception: bleeds due to surgery/procedure are excluded. As "all bleeds" comprises both treated and non-treated bleeds, the 72-hour rule was implemented separately for treated and non-treated bleeds. For treated bleeds, the 72-hour rule was implemented exactly as defined for the "treated bleeds" outcome measure. For non-treated bleeds, the 72-hour rule was implemented by calculating a treatment-free period of 72 hours from the bleed itself.

Cohort A: Mean Calculated Annualized Bleed Rate (ABR) for Treated Spontaneous Bleeds in Treated Participants <12 Years of AgeFrom Baseline to 52 weeks; At the primary completion date, the median (min-max) duration of the efficacy period in Cohort A was 57.57 (17.9-92.6) weeks.

The number of treated spontaneous bleeds over the efficacy period is presented here as a calculated 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 bleed is classified as "spontaneous" if there is no other known contributing factor such as trauma or procedure/surgery. A "treated spontaneous bleed" is a spontaneous bleed that also fulfills the conditions of a treated bleed (see ABR for Treated Bleeds for the definition). Treated bleeds that fulfilled the 72-hour rule were included in the analysis of spontaneous bleeds. Bleeds due to surgery/procedure are excluded.

The number of treated bleeds over the efficacy period is presented here as a calculated 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 bleed is considered a "treated bleed" if it is directly followed (i.e., no intervening bleed) by a hemophilia medication reported to be a "treatment for bleed", irrespective of time between treatment and the preceding bleed. A bleed and the first treatment thereafter and before a new bleed starts, are considered to be pairs, with the following exception: if multiple bleeds occur on the same calendar day, the subsequent treatment is considered to apply for each of these multiple bleeds. The 72-hour rule was implemented: two bleeds of the same type and at the same anatomical location are counted as one bleed if the second bleed occurs within 72 hours from the last treatment for the first bleed. Bleeds due to surgery/procedure are excluded.

Cohort A: Model-Based Annualized Bleed Rate (ABR) for Treated Target Joint Bleeds in Treated Participants <12 Years of AgeFrom Baseline to 52 weeks; At the primary completion date, the median (min-max) duration of the efficacy period in Cohort A was 57.57 (17.9-92.6) weeks.

The number of treated target joint bleeds over the efficacy period is presented here as a model-based ABR that was analyzed using a negative binomial regression model with efficacy period as an offset to account for the difference in follow-up times (i.e., the time that each participant stays in the study). A "target joint bleed" is 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. A "treated target joint bleed" is a target joint bleed that also fulfills the conditions of a treated bleed (see ABR for Treated Bleeds for the definition). Bleeds due to surgery/procedure are excluded.

Change From Baseline Over Time in the Hemophilia-Specific Quality of Life Short Form (Haemo-QoL-SF) Questionnaire Total Score, as Completed by Treated Participants ≥8 to <12 Years of AgeBaseline (Week 1), Weeks 13, 25, 37, 49, 57, 81, 105, 129, 153, and 177, and at study completion [SC] or early discontinuation [ED] (up to 188 weeks)

The Haemo-QoL-SF is a self-reported questionnaire for children ≥8 years of age. It contains 35 items, which cover nine domains considered relevant for the children's health-related quality of life: Physical Health, Feelings, View of Yourself, Family, Friends, Other People, Sports and School, Dealing with Hemophilia, and Treatment. Items are rated with five respective response options: never, seldom, sometimes, often, and always. The Total Score is derived from the scores for all domains and ranges from 0 to 100, with a lower score reflective of better health-related quality of life.

Change From Baseline Over Time in Caregiver-Reported Adapted Health-Related Quality of Life for Hemophilia Patients With Inhibitors Including Aspects of Caregiver Burden (Adapted Inhib-QoL) Questionnaire Total Score, Treated Participants <12 Years of AgeBaseline (Week 1), Weeks 13, 25, 37, 49, 57, 81, 105, 129, 153, and 177, and at study completion [SC] or early discontinuation [ED] (up to 188 weeks)

Proxy assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and aspects of caregiver burden were assessed using the Adapted Inhib-QoL questionnaire, which comprises two parts with a total of 30 questions. The first part asks the caregiver for his/her opinion on the child's HRQoL and consists of two scales: Physical Health and Treatment. 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) and consists of 6 scales (5 if the child does not have siblings): General Condition, Dealing with the Inhibitor, Perceive Treatment, Family life, Siblings, Contact with Others. Items are rated with five respective response options: never, seldom, sometimes, often, and all the time. The Total Score is derived from the individual scores of all of the domains and it ranges from 0 to 100, with lower scores reflective of better HRQoL.

Change From Baseline Over Time in the Caregiver-Reported Adapted Inhib-QoL Questionnaire Physical Health Domain Score, Treated Participants <12 Years of AgeBaseline (Week 1), Weeks 13, 25, 37, 49, 57, 81, 105, 129, 153, and 177, and at study completion [SC] or early discontinuation [ED] (up to 188 weeks)

Proxy assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and aspects of caregiver burden were assessed using the Adapted Inhib-QoL questionnaire, which comprises two parts with a total of 30 questions. The first part asks the caregiver for his/her opinion on the child's HRQoL (proxy HRQoL) and consists of two scales: Physical Health and Treatment. 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) and consists of 6 scales (5 if the child does not have siblings): General Condition, Dealing with the Inhibitor, Perceive Treatment, Family Life, Siblings, Contact with Others. Items are rated with five respective response options: never, seldom, sometimes, often, and all the time. A total score is calculated as the sum of all of the items in the scale. The Physical Health domain score ranges from 0 to 100, with lower scores reflective of better physical health.

Number of Participants With at Least One Adverse Event Leading to Withdrawal From TreatmentFrom Baseline up to 24 weeks after study drug discontinuation; the median (min-max) observation periods in Cohorts A, B, and C were 96.93 (36.1-188.1) weeks, 68.21 (56.7-129.4) weeks, and 69.43 (38.9-144.3) weeks, respectively.
Number of Participants by Hematology Parameter Laboratory Test Results as a Shift From Baseline to Highest WHO Grade Post-BaselineFrom Baseline until study completion (up to 188 weeks)

The World Health Organization (WHO) toxicity grading scale was used for determining the severity of laboratory abnormalities (i.e., test results outside of the reference range) for hematology parameters; Grade 0 is normal and Grades 1 to 4 represent worsening levels of the parameter outside of the normal range in the specified direction of the abnormality (high and low are above and below the range, respectively). Not every laboratory abnormality qualified as an adverse event (AE). A laboratory test result was reported as an AE if it met any of the following criteria: was accompanied by clinical symptoms; resulted in a change in study treatment; resulted in a medical intervention or a change in concomitant therapy; or was clinically significant in the investigator's judgment. Baseline was defined as the last available assessment prior to first receipt of study drug. Abs = absolute count

Long-Term Efficacy of Emicizumab in All Cohorts: Median Calculated Annualized Bleed Rate (ABR) for Treated Bleeds, All Bleeds, Treated Spontaneous Bleeds, Treated Joint Bleeds, and Treated Target Joint Bleeds in Treated Participants <12 Years of AgeFrom Baseline to study completion (median [min-max] duration of the efficacy periods in Cohorts A, B, and C were 92.29 [36.1-187.7] weeks, 68.21 [56.7-129.4] weeks, and 69.43 [8.9-144.3] weeks, respectively)

The number of treated bleeds over the efficacy period is presented here as a calculated 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 bleed is considered a "treated bleed" if it is directly followed (i.e., no intervening bleed) by a hemophilia medication reported to be a "treatment for bleed", irrespective of time between treatment and the preceding bleed. "All bleeds" included bleeds irrespective of treatment with coagulation factors, with the following exception: bleeds due to surgery/procedure are excluded. Bleeds are classified as "spontaneous" if there is no other known contributing factor such as trauma or procedure/surgery. A "joint bleed" is defined as a bleed with type reported as "joint". A "target joint bleed" is 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.

Change From Baseline Over Time in the Haemo-QoL-SF Questionnaire Physical Health Domain Score, as Completed by Treated Participants ≥8 to <12 Years of AgeBaseline (Week 1), Weeks 13, 25, 37, 49, 57, 81, 105, 129, 153, and 177, and at study completion [SC] or early discontinuation [ED] (up to 188 weeks)

The Haemo-QoL-SF is a self-reported questionnaire for children ≥8 years of age. It contains 35 items, which cover nine domains considered relevant for the children's health-related quality of life: Physical Health, Feelings, View of Yourself, Family, Friends, Other People, Sports and School, Dealing with Hemophilia, and Treatment. The Physical Health domain assesses hemophilia-related symptoms (painful swellings and presence of joint pain) and physical functioning (pain with movement). Items are rated with five respective response options: never, seldom, sometimes, often, and always. The Physical Health domain score ranges from 0 to 100, with a lower score reflective of better physical health.

Plasma Trough Concentration (Ctrough) of EmicizumabPredose (0 hour) at Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29, 33, 37, 41, 49, 57, 69, 81, 93, 105, 117, 129, 141, 153, 165, and 177

Pre-dose (trough) plasma concentrations of emicizumab were analyzed using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The lower limit of quantitation was 0.1 micrograms per milliliter (μg/mL).

Number of Participants With at Least One Adverse Event of Local Injection Site ReactionFrom Baseline up to 24 weeks after study drug discontinuation; the median (min-max) observation periods in Cohorts A, B, and C were 96.93 (36.1-188.1) weeks, 68.21 (56.7-129.4) weeks, and 69.43 (38.9-144.3) weeks, respectively.

Local adverse events that occurred within 24 hours after study drug administration and, in the investigator's opinion, were judged to be related to study drug injection, were captured as an "injection-site reaction" on the Adverse Event electronic Case Report Form (eCRF). An injection-related reaction that was localized was marked as a "local injection-site reaction."

Number of Participants by Chemistry Parameter Laboratory Test Results as a Shift From Baseline to Highest WHO Grade Post-BaselineFrom Baseline until study completion (up to 188 weeks)

The World Health Organization (WHO) toxicity grading scale was used for determining the severity of laboratory abnormalities (i.e., test results outside of the reference range) for chemistry parameters; Grade 0 is normal and Grades 1 to 4 represent worsening levels of the parameter outside of the normal range in the specified direction of the abnormality (high and low are above and below the range, respectively). Not every laboratory abnormality qualified as an adverse event (AE). A laboratory test result was reported as an AE if it met any of the following criteria: was accompanied by clinical symptoms; resulted in a change in study treatment; resulted in a medical intervention or a change in concomitant therapy; or was clinically significant in the investigator's judgment. Baseline was defined as the last available assessment prior to first receipt of study drug. SGOT/AST = aspartate aminotransferase; SGPT/ALT = alanine aminotransferase

Number of Participants With at Least One Adverse Event of Systemic Hypersensitivity, Anaphylaxis, or Anaphylactoid ReactionFrom Baseline up to 24 weeks after study drug discontinuation; the median (min-max) observation periods in Cohorts A, B, and C were 96.93 (36.1-188.1) weeks, 68.21 (56.7-129.4) weeks, and 69.43 (38.9-144.3) weeks, respectively.

Systemic hypersensitivity, anaphylaxis, or anaphylactoid reactions were identified by the investigator using Sampson's criteria, as defined in the protocol. At the primary completion date, one participant had reported two non-serious adverse events (cough and abdominal pain) that were identified as a potential case based on a Standardised MedDRA Queries (SMQ) search for Sampson's criteria. However, after medical review of the case, it was confirmed that this case was not indicative of a systemic hypersensitivity, anaphylaxis, or anaphylactoid reaction.

Number of Participants With at Least One Adverse Event of Thromboembolic EventFrom Baseline up to 24 weeks after study drug discontinuation; the median (min-max) observation periods in Cohorts A, B, and C were 96.93 (36.1-188.1) weeks, 68.21 (56.7-129.4) weeks, and 69.43 (38.9-144.3) weeks, respectively.
