Group Intervention Description rFVIII-FS/pegylated liposomes (BAY79-4980) rFVIII-FS/pegylated liposomes (BAY79-4980) 35 IU/kg body weight of BAY79-4980 1x/week plus 2 dummy injections/week (dummy = rFVIII (recombinant factor VIII)-FS (formulated with sucrose) excipient reconstituted in WFI (sterile water for injection)) rFVIII-FS/WFI (BAY14-2222) rFVIII-FS/WFI (BAY14-2222) 25 IU/kg body weight of rFVIII-FS 3x/week (employing 1 percent POPC (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine)-alone liposome (rFVIII-FS-POPC) as blinding agent used for first weekly injection and rFVIII-FS in WFI for 2nd and 3rd injection)
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Participants With Less Than 9 Total Bleeds Per Year up to one year Bleeds occurring on the same day were counted as one bleeding event. Bleeds occurring within 72 hours into the same location were also counted as one bleeding event.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Participants With Less Than 5 Joint Bleeds Per Year up to one year Bleeds occurring on the same day were counted as one bleeding event. Bleeds occurring within 72 hours into the same location were also counted as one bleeding event.
Number of Joint Bleeds Per Participant Per Year in Responders up to one year Bleeds occurring on the same day were counted as one bleeding event. Bleeds occurring within 72 hours into the same location were also counted as one bleeding event. Responders were the subjects with less than 9 total bleeds per year
