Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Documented history of moderately-severe to severe hemophilia B (FIX activity </=2%).
  • Male subjects, aged 12 years to 65 years.
  • Subjects with at least 100 exposure days (EDs) to factor IX products.
  • Subjects with a minimum of 12 bleeding episodes, 6 of which must be joint bleeds, in the 12-month period before the Screening visit.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects who have received FIX as a primary or secondary prophylaxis regimen within the last 12 months prior to the Screening visit.
  • Subjects who have had major surgery or an orthopedic surgical procedure within the past 3 months prior to Screening visit.
  • Subjects for which major surgery or orthopedic surgery is planned within the duration of study participation.
  • Subjects with a past history of, or current FIX inhibitor, defined as >ULN (upper limit of normal) of the reporting laboratory.
  • Subjects with a known hypersensitivity to any FIX product or hamster protein.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Annualized Number of Bleeding Episodes.
Time Frame: 2 years
The annualized bleed rate (ABR) or the annualized number of bleeding episodes per year, will be derived for each participant for each treatment period by using the following formula: ABR = number of bleeds / (Days on treatment period / 365.25) The number of bleeds for the ABR calculation includes all bleeds requiring treatment with factor IX product during the time on treatment.
2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Response to On-Demand Treatment for All Bleeding Episodes.
Time Frame: 2 years
Assessment scores on a 4-point Response Scale for an on-demand bleeding episode, as assessed by participant/caregiver or investigator/qualified staff. The 4-point scale assessments are Excellent, Good, Moderate or No response. Responses to number of observations were noted.
2 years
Number of Nonacog Alfa, Recombinant Factor IX (BeneFIX) Infusions Used to Treat Each Bleeding Episode.
Time Frame: 2 years
The number of study drug infusions administered to treat a bleed will be calculated by adding the initial (on-demand) infusion to any subsequent (on-demand) infusions for the same bleed (same bleed start date/time). The number of infusions needed to treat a bleed will be classified into the following categories: 1, 2, 3, 4 and >4 infusions. If there were more than one bleed location (e.g., ankle and joint) with identical bleed start date and time, it was treated as one bleed occurrence.
2 years
Number of Breakthrough (Spontaneous/Non-Traumatic) Bleeds Within 48 Hours of a Prophylaxis Dose of BeneFIX.
Time Frame: 2 years
The number of spontaneous, non-traumatic breakthrough bleeds within 48 hours following a prophylaxis dose of BeneFIX were summarized. If there was more than one bleed location (eg, ankle and joint) with identical bleed start date and time, it was treated as one bleed occurrence.
2 years
Average Infusion Dose.
Time Frame: 2 years
The mean dose by per infusion by weight (IU/kg) was reported for both prophylaxis and on demand infusions
2 years
Total Factor Consumption.
Time Frame: 2 years
The total amount (IU) infused for each infusion recorded were summed to calculate the total factor consumption for each participant. For each infusion, IU/kg was calculated, using the most recently recorded weight measurement and the total factor consumption, divided by number of infusions, and was summarized similarly to average infusion dose (IU). Annualized TFC by weight was reported. Annualized TFC by weight = (Total IU/kg / treatment interval duration)*365.25.
2 years
Incidence of Less Than Expected Therapeutic Effect (LETE)
Time Frame: 2 years
The following criteria are the definitions for LETE in this study: 1. LETE in the On-Demand Setting: LETE occurs in the on-demand setting if 2 successive "No Response" ratings are recorded after 2 successive BeneFIX drug infusions in the absence of confounding factors. 2. LETE in the Prophylaxis Setting: LETE occurs in the prophylaxis setting if there is a spontaneous bleed within 48 hours (≤ 48 hours) after a regularly scheduled prophylactic dose of BeneFIX in the absence of confounding factors. 3. LETE (Low Recovery): LETE can also be lower than expected recovery of FIX in the opinion of the investigator following infusion of BeneFIX in the absence of confounding factors. Each reported occurrence of low recovery LETE was listed.
