Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetic Study of Prophylactic Emicizumab Versus No Prophylaxis in Hemophilia A Participants (HAVEN 5)

A Randomized, Multicenter, Open-Label, Phase III Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of Prophylactic Emicizumab Versus No Prophylaxis in Hemophilia A Patients

This multicenter, open-label, Phase 3 study with randomized and non-randomized arms is designed to investigate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of emicizumab in participants with hemophilia A regardless of factor VIII (FVIII) inhibitor status. Participants greater than or equal to (≥)12 years old who received episodic therapy with FVIII or bypassing agents prior to study entry and experienced at least 5 bleeds over the prior 24 weeks will be randomized in a 2:2:1 ratio to the following regimens: Arm A: Emicizumab prophylaxis at 3 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) once every week (QW) subcutaneously (SC) for 4 weeks, followed by 1.5 mg/kg QW SC; Arm B: Emicizumab prophylaxis at 3 mg/kg QW SC for 4 weeks, followed by 6 mg/kg once every 4 weeks (Q4W) SC; and Arm C: No prophylaxis (control arm). In addition, pediatric participants less than (<)12 years old with hemophilia A and FVIII inhibitors who received episodic therapy with bypassing agents prior to study entry will be enrolled to Arm D: Emicizumab prophylaxis at 3 mg/kg QW SC for 4 weeks, followed by 1.5 mg/kg QW SC.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Model-Based Annualized Bleeding Rate for Treated Bleeds	The number of treated bleeds over the efficacy period was estimated as an annualized bleeding rate (ABR) using a negative binomial regression model, which accounts for different follow-up times. A treated bleed was defined as a bleed that was directly followed by a hemophilia medication reported to be a "treatment for bleed". The 72-hour rule was implemented: two bleeds of the same type and at the same anatomical location were counted as one bleed if the second bleed occurred within 72 hours from the last treatment for the first bleed. Bleeds due to surgery/procedure were excluded.	From Baseline to at least 24 weeks
Mean Calculated Annualized Bleeding Rate for Treated Bleeds	The number of treated bleeds over the efficacy period is presented here as a calculated annualized bleeding rate (ABR) that was annualized for each participant using the following formula: ABR = (number of bleeds/number of days during the efficacy period) x 365.25. A treated bleed was defined as a bleed that was directly followed by a hemophilia medication reported to be a "treatment for bleed". The 72-hour rule was implemented: two bleeds of the same type and at the same anatomical location were counted as one bleed if the second bleed occurred within 72 hours from the last treatment for the first bleed. Bleeds due to surgery/procedure were excluded.	From Baseline to at least 24 weeks
Median Calculated Annualized Bleeding Rate for Treated Bleeds	The number of treated bleeds over the efficacy period is presented here as a calculated annualized bleeding rate (ABR) that was annualized for each participant using the following formula: ABR = (number of bleeds/number of days during the efficacy period) x 365.25.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Model-Based Annualized Bleeding Rate for All Bleeds	The number of all bleeds over the efficacy period was estimated as an annualized bleeding rate (ABR) using a negative binomial regression model, which accounts for different follow-up times. In this outcome measure, all bleeds are included, irrespective of treatment with coagulation factors, with the following exception: bleeds due to surgery/procedure are excluded. As "all bleeds" comprises both treated and non-treated bleeds, the 72-hour rule was implemented separately for treated and non-treated bleeds. For treated bleeds, the 72-hour rule meant that two bleeds of the same type and at the same anatomical location were counted as one bleed if the second bleed occurred within 72 hours from the last treatment for the first bleed. For non-treated bleeds, the 72-hour rule was implemented by calculating a treatment-free period of 72 hours from the bleed itself.	From Baseline to at least 24 weeks

Arms A, B, and C: Adjusted Mean EQ-5D-5L Index Utility Score at Week 25	The European Quality of Life 5-Dimensions-5 Levels Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) is a standardized, participant-rated questionnaire to assess health-related quality of life. The EQ-5D-5L includes 2 components: the EQ-5D-5L health state profile (descriptive system) and the EQ-5D-5L VAS. The EQ-5D-5L health state profile is designed to record the participant's current health state in 5 domains: mobility, selfcare, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Responses from the five domains are used to calculate a single index utility score on a scale of 0 to 1, with higher scores reflective of better quality of life. The means were derived via an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model and have been adjusted for the following co-variates: baseline score, treatment group, and treatment by baseline interaction term.

Arm D: Change From Baseline in Haemo-QoL-SF Questionnaire Physical Health and Total Scores at Week 25 in Participants 8 to 12 Years of Age	The Hemophilia-Specific Quality of Life Short Form (Haemo-QoL-SF) questionnaire contains 35 items covering nine dimensions considered relevant for the children's health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Items are rated with five respective response options: never, seldom, sometimes, often, and always. The scores range from 0 to 100, and higher scores are indicative of poorer HRQoL.	Baseline and Week 25
Arm D: Change From Baseline in the Caregiver-Reported Adapted Health-Related Quality of Life for Hemophilia Patients With Inhibitors (Adapted Inhib-QoL) Including Aspects of Caregiver Burden Questionnaire Score Over Time	Proxy assessment of HRQoL and aspects of caregiver burden for all children, regardless of age, were collected using the Adapted Inhib-QoL with Aspects of Caregiver Burden questionnaire. The questionnaire comprises two parts. The first part asks the caregiver for his/her opinion on the child's HRQoL (proxy HRQoL). The second part asks the caregiver to rate how the child's situation is for them (i.e., the impact of the child's disease and treatment on the caregiver). Items are rated with 5 respective response options: never, seldom, sometimes, often, and all the time. Scores range from 0 to 100, with lower scores reflective of better HRQoL. A total score is calculated as the sum of all of the items in the scale.	Baseline (Week 1) and Weeks 17, 29, 37, and 49, every 12 weeks during extension phase, and study completion (up to 48 months)
