Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- 1. No history of documented FVIII inhibitor (i.e., < 0.6 BU/mL), FVIII drug-elimination half-life < 6 hours, or FVIII recovery < 66%\n- 2. Mandatory receipt of vitamin K prophylaxis according to local standard practice\n- 3. Diagnosis of severe congenital hemophilia A (intrinsic FVIII level < 1%)\n- 4. A negative test for FVIII inhibitor (i.e., < 0.6 Bethesda units [BU]/mL) locally assessed during the 2-week screening period for all patients\n- 5. Previously untreated patients (PUPs) or minimally treated patient (MTPs) (i.e., up to 5 days of exposure with hemophilia-related treatments, such as plasma-derived FVIII, recombinant FVIII, fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate, or whole blood products)\n- 6. Documentation of the details of the hemophilia-related treatments received since birth and documentation of the details of the bleeding episodes since birth"}

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- 1. Inherited or acquired bleeding disorder other than severe hemophilia A\n- 2. Use of systemic immunomodulators (e.g., interferon) at enrollment or planned use during the study\n- 3. Current active severe bleed, such as intracranial hemorrhage (ICH)\n- 4. History of clinically significant hypersensitivity associated with monoclonal antibody therapies or components of the emicizumab injection\n- 5. Patients who are at high risk for thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) (e.g., have a previous medical or family history of TMA, such as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome) in the investigator's judgment\n- 6. Previous or current treatment for thromboembolic disease or signs of thromboembolic disease"}
