This study will look at how a known study medicine N8-GP works in previously N8-GP treated people with haemophilia A. The aim is to look at how N8-GP works during regular use. Participants will get N8-GP. N8-GP has been tested in more than 200 people with haemophilia A for several years. Participants will get an injection of N8-GP into a blood vessel, one, two or three times weekly. Participants will get more doses if they bleed or if they will need a surgery. The study will last for about 2 years. Participants will have at least 9 visits with the study doctor. If participants agree to be in this study, they will get their first injection (in this study) at the first visit. Participants will also get an injection at visit 3, 5 and 7. Participants will be trained to give all other injections themselves. Participants must not use any clotting factors other than N8-GP or any anticoagulants (blood thinners) during the study.

Number of Adverse Events Reported
An adverse event (AE) was defined as any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of a product, whether or not considered related to the product. All AEs mentioned here are treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs). The TEAE is defined as an event reported from date of first trial product administration until end of the treatment visit (week 104) or follow-up visit if relevant (1 month after end of the treatment).
Time frame: Week 0 to week 108
Number of Participants With Inhibitory Antibodies Against Coagulation Factor VIII (FVIII) ≥0.6 Bethesda Units (BU)
The Incidence of inhibitors against coagulation factor eight (FVIII) is defined as titre greater than or equal to (≥) 0.6 Bethesda unit. The inhibitor antibodies were measured using a heat modified Nijmegen FVIII Bethesda assay. The number of participants who developed inhibitors against FVIII are reported.
Time frame: Week 0 to week 104
Number of Bleeding Episodes on Prophylaxis
Number of bleeding episodes per participant in the prophylaxis regimen was evaluated during 104 weeks.
Time frame: Week 0 to week 104
Number of Spontaneous Bleeding Episodes on Prophylaxis
Spontaneous bleeding referred as bleeding episodes that occurred without apparent cause. The number of spontaneous bleeding episodes were evaluated during 104 weeks.
Time frame: Week 0 to week 104
Haemostatic Effect of N8-GP When Used for Treatment of Bleeding Episodes Assessed as: Excellent, Good, Moderate, or None
The haemostatic effect after treatment of a bleed with N8-GP was assessed using a 4-point scale: 'excellent', 'good', 'moderate' or 'none'. The evaluation was done as follows: 1. Excellent: Abrupt pain relief and/or unequivocal improvement in objective signs of bleeding within approximately 8 hours after a single injection. 2. Good: Definite pain relief and/or improvement in signs of bleeding within approximately 8 hours after an injection, but possibly requiring more than one injection for complete resolution. 3. Moderate: Probable or slight beneficial effect within approximately 8 hours after the first injection; usually requiring more than one injection 4. None: No improvement or worsening of symptoms.
Time frame: Week 0 to week 104
Mean Number of N8-GP Injections Required Per Bleeding Episode
The mean number of N8-GP injections required per bleeding episode from start to stop of a bleed for participants was presented from week 0 to week 104.
Time frame: Week 0 to week 104
Pre-dose FVIII Activity Levels on N8-GP Prophylaxis
The pre-dose FVIII activity levels were assessed in International units per millilitre (IU/mL) units from week 0 to week 104 to get an estimate of the pre-dose level for N8-GP at steady-state using mixed model.
Time frame: Week 0 to week 104
Change in Joint Health Status From Start to End of Trial (Based on Haemophilia Joint Health Score)
Haemophilia Joint Health Score is a validated outcome tool developed for the assessment of joint health in patients with hemophilia. It comprises an evaluation of the elbow, knee and ankle joints with regards to swelling, muscular atrophy, crepitation and range of motion, joint pain, strength, motion and axial alignment. The score range is from 0 to 24 points (a score of 0 indicates no joint damage. Higher the score higher the joint damage). Change from week 0 to end of trial (week 104) in the domain scores was presented.
Time frame: Week 0, Week 104
Haemostatic Response During Major Surgical Interventions Assessed as: Excellent, Good, Moderate, or None
The Haemostatic response to N8-GP during major surgical interventions was assessed using a 4-point scale: 'excellent', 'good', 'moderate' or 'none'. The evaluation was done as follows: 1. Excellent: Better than expected/predicted in this type of procedure. 2. Good: As expected in this type of procedure 3. Moderate: Less than optimal for the type of procedure but haemostatic response maintained without change of treatment regimen 4. None: Bleeding due to inadequate therapeutic response with adequate dosing, change of regimen required. This endpoint was measured from week 0 to week 104.
Time frame: Week 0 to week 104
Consumption of N8-GP Per Bleed
The average dose of N8-GP consumed for treatment of bleed was assessed in International units per kilogram per bleed(IU/kg/bleed). This endpoint was evaluated from week 0 to week 104.
Time frame: Week 0 to week 104
Consumption of N8-GP During Prophylaxis Treatment
The average dose of N8-GP consumed for prevention of bleed was assessed. This endpoint was evaluated from week 0 to week 104.
Time frame: Week 0 to week 104
Change From Start Till End of Trial in Treatment Satisfaction (Based on Hemo-SAT Score)
The treatment satisfaction of a bleed with N8-GP was assessed using HEMO-SAT assessment tool which contains a questionnaire with 6 domains (Ease and convenience, efficacy, burden, specialist/nurses, centre/hospital, general satisfaction), with a scale of 0-100. The lower scores reflecting greater treatment satisfaction. In other words, decrease in the score would mean improvement. The summary of change presented was based on individual changes since week 0. Data is presented for total score.
Time frame: Week 0, Week 104
