Emicizumab

Participants received emicizumab prophylaxis subcutaneously at the specified dose for each arm. After at least 24 weeks on prophylactic emicizumab, individuals who experienced suboptimal bleeding control on emicizumab (according to protocol-defined criteria) had the opportunity to increase their dose to 3 mg/kg weekly. Upon implementation of protocol version 4 (20-Dec-2019), treatment duration was extended. During this study prolongation, each participant had the option to choose a preferred emicizumab dosing regimen among those permitted (i.e., emicizumab 1.5 mg/kg once every week \[QW\], 3 mg/kg once every 2 weeks \[Q2W\], or 6 mg/kg once every 4 weeks \[Q4W\]) and continue on that dosing regimen until discontinuation from the study.

DRUG

Factor VIII (FVIII)

FVIII was allowed to treat bleeds on an episodic basis, per the local prescribing information. Specific dosages of FVIII were not mandated in the study. Breakthrough bleeds were to be treated with the lowest FVIII dose expected to achieve hemostasis, which may have been lower than the participant's prior FVIII dose. To avoid bleeds before adequate emicizumab level is reached, patients in Arm D continued their regular FVIII prophylaxis until the second emicizumab loading dose. Concomitant routine FVIII prophylaxis was not permissible otherwise during the study.
