Inhibitor titer of ≥0.6 BU/mL at screening, OR . Inhibitor titer of <0.6 BU/mL at screening with medical record evidence of 2 consecutive titers ≥0.6 BU/mL, OR . Inhibitor titer of <0.6 BU/mL at screening with medical record evidence of 1 inhibitor titer ≥0.6 BU/mL and a history of anamnestic response, or severe allergic reaction (eg, anaphylaxis) or nephrotic syndrome Non-inhibitor: Requiring use of clotting factor concentrates (CFCs) for prophylaxis or CFCs as on- demand therapy for any bleeding episodes for at least the last 3 months prior to screening, and meet each of the following criterion: . Nijmegen-modified Bethesda assay inhibitor titer of <0.6 BU/mL at screening, AND .
