- Currently receiving immune tolerance induction (ITI) - Currently on regular prophylactic therapy to prevent bleeding episodes - Clinically symptomatic liver disease (e.g. diagnosis of cirrhosis, [liver biopsy confirmed], portal vein hypertension, ascites, prothrombin time (PT) 5 seconds above upper limit of normal) - Platelet count < 100,000/ml - Planned elective surgery during participation in this study - Subject is currently participating in another clinical study and has received an investigational product or device within 30 days prior to study entry - Planned use of pegylated and non-pegylated alpha-interferon with or without ribavarin for HCV infected subjects or planned use of a protease inhibitor for HIV infected subjects. Subjects currently taking any of these medications for a 30-day course are eligible - D-dimer levels twice the upper level of normal - Known hypersensitivity to AICCs - Currently treated with a systemic immunomodulating drug - Prior history of thromboembolic event: acute myocardial infarction, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism - Diagnosis of advanced therosclerosis, malignancy and/or other diseases that may increase the subjects risk of thromboembolic complications - Clinically significant medical, psychiatric, or cognitive illness, or recreational drug/alcohol use that, in the opinion of the investigator, would affect subject safety or compliance

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: To demonstrate that the annualized rate of all types of bleeds in subjects on the prophylaxis arm is less than that of the subjects on the on-demand arm.;Secondary Objective: Efficacy: - To characterize the bleeding episodes requiring treatment between the 2 treatment regimens. - To determine the efficacy of FEIBA NF for the control of bleeding episodes. Safety: - To evaluate the safety of prophylactic treatment versus on-demand treatment with FEIBA NF. Pharmacoeconomic and Quality of Life Parameters: - To determine differences in HRQoL between prophylactic and on-demand treatment regimens. - To determine pharmacoeconomic differences between prophylactic and on-demand treatment regimens. Exploratory Objective: - Evaluation of Thrombin Generation Assay (TGA) parameters for hemostatic efficacy correlation.;Primary end point(s): A reduction in the annualized bleed rate among subjects receiving prophylactic treatment as compared to those treated on-demand.
