The haemostatic response after treatment of a bleed with nonacog beta pegol was evaluated on a 4-point scale as excellent, good, moderate or poor. Excellent: abrupt pain relief and/or clear improvement in objective signs of bleeding; Good: noticeable pain relief and/or improvement in signs of bleeding; Moderate: probable or slight beneficial effect after the first injection; Poor: no improvement or worsening of symptoms. If the haemostatic response was rated as excellent or good, the treatment of the bleed was considered a success. If the haemostatic response was rated as moderate or poor, the treatment was considered a failure.

IR30min was defined as the rise in FIX activity per international units per kilogram (IU/kg) administered and was recorded 30 minutes after the end of nonacog beta pegol injection. It was calculated as the baseline adjusted FIX activity recorded 30 minutes after ended nonacog beta pegol injection divided by the administered dose (IU/kg body weight).
