Secondary outcomes

  1. Frequency of Adverse Events Including Serious Adverse Events Reported During the Trial Period

    Time frame: Main phase: (from 0-26 weeks of treatment) and full trial: (0 weeks to last patient's completion of the trial, an average of 4.5 years)

    Haemostatic effect of N8-GP for treatment of bleeding episodes was assessed by 4-point response scale: none, moderate, good or excellent. Evaluation during trial was done by patient and/or parent(s)/caregiver 8 hours after first injection as follows: Excellent: Abrupt pain relief and/or clear improvement in objective signs of bleeding within approximately 8 hours after a single injection; Good: Definite pain relief and/or improvement in signs of bleeding within approximately 8 hours after a single injection, but possibly requiring more than one injection for complete resolution; Moderate: Probable or slight beneficial effect within approximately 8 hours after the first injection, but usually requiring more than one injection; None: No improvement, or worsening of symptoms.

    Time frame: Main phase: (from 0-26 weeks of treatment) and full trial: (0 weeks to last patient's completion of the trial, an average of 4.5 years)

    The number of bleeding episodes per year reported during the prophylactic treatment with N8-GP.

  4. Consumption of N8-GP Per Bleeding Episode (Number of Injections)

    Time frame: Main phase: (from 0-26 weeks of treatment) and full trial: (0 weeks to last patient's completion of the trial, an average of 4.5 years)

    The mean number of injections of N8-GP used for treatment of a bleed from start to stop of a bleed.

  5. Consumption of N8-GP Per Bleeding Episode (U/kg)

    Time frame: Main phase: (from 0-26 weeks of treatment) and full trial: (0 weeks to last patient's completion of the trial, an average of 4.5 years)

    The mean consumption of N8-GP used for treatment of a bleed from start to stop of a bleed.

  6. Consumption of N8-GP During Prophylaxis (Number of Injections)

    Time frame: Main phase: (from 0-26 weeks of treatment) and full trial: (0 weeks to last patient's completion of the trial, an average of 4.5 years)

    The mean number of injections of N8-GP used for treatment of a bleed from start to stop of a bleed during prophylaxis.

  7. Consumption of N8-GP During Prophylaxis (U/kg Per Month)

    Time frame: Main phase: (from 0-26 weeks of treatment) and full trial: (0 weeks to last patient's completion of the trial, an average of 4.5 years)

    The mean consumption of N8-GP used for treatment of a bleed from start to stop of a bleed during prophylaxis (per month per subject). Consumption used for treatment includes all doses given (prophylaxis, treatment of bleed, minor surgery and pharmacokinetics [PK])

  8. Consumption of N8-GP During Prophylaxis (U/kg Per Year)

    Time frame: Main phase: (from 0-26 weeks of treatment) and full trial: (0 weeks to last patient's completion of the trial, an average of 4.5 years)

    The mean consumption of N8-GP used for treatment of a bleed from start to stop of a bleed during prophylaxis (per year per subject). Consumption used for treatment includes all doses given (prophylaxis, treatment of bleed, minor surgery and pharmacokinetics)

  9. Incremental Recovery (Defined as the Peak Level Recorded 60 Min After End of Injection) Evaluated for Previous FVIII Product

    Time frame: 2-6 weeks prior to initial dosing with N8-GP and up to 30 hours after administration of previous FVIII product

    The incremental recovery was defined as the increase in plasma FVIII activity per IU/kg of factor administered recorded 60 minutes after end of injection. It was calculated as (Factor VIII procoagulant [FVIII:C] activity measured in plasma 60 min after dosing - FVIII:C activity measured in plasma immediately before dosing) / (dose injected at time 0 min), where the dose was expressed as U FVIII product per kg body weight. A chromogenic assay with normal human plasma (NHP) as calibrator was used.

  10. Incremental Recovery (Defined as the Peak Level Recorded 60 Min After End of Injection) Evaluated for N8-GP

    Time frame: From 1 hour prior to and up to 96 hours after initial administration of N8-GP

    The incremental recovery was defined as the peak level recorded 60 min after end of injection and dose-normalised. It was calculated as (FVIII:C activity measured in plasma 60 min after dosing - FVIII:C activity measured in plasma immediately before dosing) / (dose injected at time 0 min), where the dose was expressed as U FVIII product per kg body weight. A chromogenic assay with product specific calibrator (PSS) as calibrator was used.

    Time frame: 2-6 weeks prior to initial dosing with N8-GP and up to 30 hours after administration of previous FVIII product

    Area under the curve (AUC) versus time from zero to infinity. This is calculated as AUC = AUClast + (C(t) / λz), where C(t) is the last measurable concentration. A chromogenic assay with NHP as calibrator was used.

  12. Area Under the Curve Evaluated for N8-GP

    Time frame: From 1 hour prior to and up to 96 hours after initial administration of N8-GP

    Time frame: 2-6 weeks prior to initial dosing with N8-GP and up to 30 hours after administration of previous FVIII product

    t½ = ln(2) / λz, where t½ is terminal half-life and λz is the terminal elimination rate. The terminal elimination rate was planned estimated using linear regression on the terminal part of the time versus log(concentration) curve. A population-based method simultaneously estimating individual t½ values for all patients was applied, including patients with few values above the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ). This was estimated using time points from 1h to 30h. A chromogenic assay with PSS as calibrator was used.

    Time frame: From 1 hour prior to and up to 96 hours after initial administration of N8-GP

    t½ = ln(2) / λz, where λz is the terminal elimination rate. The terminal elimination rate was planned estimated using linear regression on the terminal part of the time versus log(concentration) curve. A population-based method simultaneously estimating individual t½ values for all patients was applied, including patients with few values above the LLOQ. This was estimated using time points from 6h to 96h. A chromogenic assay with PSS as calibrator was used.

    Time frame: 2-6 weeks prior to initial dosing with N8-GP and up to 30 hours after administration of previous FVIII product

    Total plasma clearance of drug after intravenous administration measured as actual dose/AUC. A chromogenic assay with NHP as calibrator was used.
