Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Recombinant coagulation factor VIII Fc (rFVIIIFc)
Participants will receive rFVIIIFc at a dose of 200 international units (IU)/kilogram (kg) as once daily injections or divided on several injections per day at the discretion of the Investigator, starting at baseline visit up to maximum of 60 Weeks during the ITI Period. Participants who meet the criteria for ITI success will enter a tapering period of 16 weeks where the dose will be tapered down until a prophylactic dose, as judged by the Investigator, is achieved and thereafter a follow-up period of 32 weeks where the patient will continue to receive prophylactic treatment with rFVIIIFc.

rFVIIIFc 200 IU/kg/day during ITI Period and thereafter adjusted according to the Investigator's judgement

administered intravenously.

Plan for Individual participant data (IPD)

Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?

YES

IPD Plan Description

According to Sobi's data sharing policy Sobi may share anonymized clinical study data with qualified researchers. Sobi commits to sharing clinical study data on participant level and summary data for medicines and indications approved by EMA and/or FDA. Data access will be granted in response to qualified research requests. All requests are evaluated by a cross functional panel of experts within Sobi.

IPD Sharing Time Frame

Evaluated on a case by case basis

IPD Sharing Access Criteria

A decision on data sharing will be based on the following:

  • The scientific merit of the proposal - i.e. the proposal should be scientifically sound, ethical, and have the potential to contribute to the advancement of public health.
  • The feasibility of the research proposal - i.e. the requesting research team must be scientifically qualified and have the resources to conduct the proposed project.
  • Maintenance of personal integrity - i.e. Sobi will not consider sharing individual data if there is a risk of re-identification of individuals despite a proper anonymisation. Moreover, the patients' informed consent will always be respected. Sobi reserves the right to reject the proposal if the anonymisation process will render unusable data.
  • Publication of results - the applicants should commit to submit their findings to a peer-reviewed scientific journal, alternatively to present the results at a congress (poster or similar), regardless of the research outcome
