Primary Objective: To characterize the frequency of bleeding episodes (BE) while receiving fitusiran treatment, relative to the frequency of bleeding episodes while receiving factor concentrate or bypassing agent (BPA) prophylaxis. Secondary Objectives: * To characterize the following while receiving fitusiran treatment, relative to receiving factor or BPA prophylaxis: * the frequency of spontaneous bleeding episodes * the frequency of joint bleeding episodes * health related quality of life (HRQOL) in participants greater than or equal to (\>=) 17 years of age * To characterize the frequency of bleeding episodes during the onset and treatment periods in participants receiving fitusiran. * To characterize the safety and tolerability of fitusiran. * To characterize the annualized weight-adjusted consumption of factor/BPA while receiving fitusiran treatment, relative to receiving factor or BPA prophylaxis.
The estimated total time on study, inclusive of Screening, for each participant was up to 15 months for participants who were enrolled in the extension study except for participants in the subgroup of Cohort A, for whom it was up to 9 months. The estimated total time on study was up to 21 months (up to 15 months in participants in the subgroup of Cohort A) in participants who did not enroll in the extension study due to the requirement for an additional up to 6 months of follow-up for monitoring of antithrombin (AT) levels.

Estimated Annualized Bleeding Rate (ABR)
Bleeding episodes (BE): any occurrence of hemorrhage might require administration of factor/BPA. BE start time: time at which 1st BE symptoms develop; bleeding/any symptoms at same location occurred within 72 hours of last injection used to treat BE at that location was considered part of original BE and counted as 1 BE towards ABR. Bleeding began after 72 hours of last injection at that location was considered as a new event. ABR = total number of qualifying BE/total number of days in the respective period\*365.25. Estimated data were derived by using repeated measures negative binomial (NB) regression model.
