Occurrence of Confirmed FVIII Inhibitor Development (≥ 0.6 BU)
The number of participants who confirmed the presence of FVIII inhibitor development (≥ 0.6 BU) during 8 weeks of treatment period.
Time frame: Weeks 0-8
Incidence of Adverse Drug Reactions (ARs) and Serious Adverse Reactions (SARs)
Incidence of adverse drug reactions (ARs) and serious adverse reactions (SARs) were calculated as the number of adverse reactions per patient years. All presented ARs and SARs are treatment emergent and related to trial product, which were defined as the events reported after trial product administration until the follow-up, 12 weeks after first treatment.
Time frame: Weeks 0-12
Number of Bleeding Episodes With Successful Haemostatic Effect of Turoctocog Alfa
The haemostatic effect (HE) of turoctocog alfa when used for treatment of bleeding episodes was evaluated during 8 weeks of treatment. Successful haemostatic effect means the haemostatic response when used for treatment of a bleeding episode was either excellent or good. Excellent haemostatic respose: Abrupt pain relief and/or clear improvement in objective signs of bleeding episode within approximately 8 hours after a single injection. Good haemostatic response: Definite pain relief and/or improvement in signs of bleeding episode within approximately 8 hours after an injection, but possibly requiring more than 1 injection for complete resolution.
Time frame: Weeks 0-8
Total Annualised Consumption of Turoctocog Alfa
Total consumption of turoctocog alfa was evaluated during 8 weeks of treatment and it was presented as IU of turoctocog alfa/kg body weight (BW) per year per participant.
Time frame: Weeks 0-8
Incidence of Allergic or Infusion Reactions Related to the Trial Product
Incidence of allergic or infusion reactions related to trial products were calculated as the number of reactions per patient years. Allergic reactions are a class of adverse events related to allergy.
Time frame: Weeks 0-12
