Participant Flow

Previously treated participants with severe hemophilia A (\<1% FVIII (Factor VIII)), who were currently on on-demand or secondary prophylaxis treatment with any FVIII for ≥150 exposure days (ED) with documented bleeds/injections during the last 6 months prior to study entry could participate in the study.

Of 168 enrolled participants, 25 failed screening.
