Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall Summary of the Number of Participants With Adverse Events, Severity Assessed According to the World Health Organization (WHO) Toxicity Grading Scale [ Time Frame: From Baseline until study completion (up to 2 years) ]
    Investigators sought information on adverse events (AEs) at each contact with participants. The WHO toxicity grading scale was used for assessing AE severity (i.e., intensity of an AE); any AEs not specifically listed in the WHO toxicity grading scale were assessed for severity according to the following grades: Grade 1 is mild; Grade 2 is moderate, Grade 3 is severe; Grade 4 is life-threatening; and Grade 5 is death. Regardless of severity, some AEs may have also met seriousness criteria. The terms "severe" and "serious" are not synonymous; severity and seriousness were independently assessed for each AE. aPCC = activated prothrombin complex concentrate

  2. Adverse Events (AEs) Rates Per 100 Patient-Years for All-Grade AEs, Serious AEs, and Grade ≥3 AEs [ Time Frame: From Baseline until study completion (up to 2 years) ]
    Investigators sought information on adverse events (AEs) at each contact with participants. The WHO toxicity grading scale was used for assessing AE severity (i.e., intensity of an AE); any AEs not specifically listed in the WHO toxicity grading scale were assessed for severity according to the following grades: Grade 1 is mild; Grade 2 is moderate, Grade 3 is severe; Grade 4 is life-threatening; and Grade 5 is death. Regardless of severity, some AEs may have also met seriousness criteria. The terms "severe" and "serious" are not synonymous; severity and seriousness were independently assessed for each AE. The AE rate per 100 patient-years was computed as follows: AE Rate = (Number of AEs observed/ Total patient-years at risk)*100. Total patient-years at risk is the sum over all patients of the time intervals (in years) between start of study therapy (study day 1) and the end of follow up.

  3. Number of Participants by Hematology and Biochemistry Laboratory Parameter Test Results as Shifts From the WHO Toxicity Grade at Baseline to the Worst WHO Toxicity Grade Post-Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 2, 3, and 5; Months 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18; and at Early Termination/Study Completion (up to 24 months) ]
    The World Health Organization (WHO) toxicity grading scale was used for determining the severity of laboratory abnormalities (i.e., test results outside of the reference range) for hematology and biochemistry parameters; Grade 0 is normal and Grades 1 to 4 represent worsening levels of the parameter outside of the normal range in the specified direction of the abnormality (high and low are above and below the range, respectively). Not every laboratory abnormality qualified as an adverse event (AE). A laboratory test result was reported as an AE if it met any of the following criteria: was accompanied by clinical symptoms; resulted in a change in study treatment; resulted in a medical intervention or a change in concomitant therapy; or was clinically significant in the investigator's judgment. Baseline was defined as the last available assessment prior to first receipt of study drug. Abs = absolute count; SGOT/AST = aspartate aminotransferase; SGPT/ALT = alanine aminotransferase

  4. Change From Baseline in Body Temperature at Specified Timepoints [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 2, 3, and 5; Months 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18; and at Early Termination/Study Completion (up to 24 months) ]
    Vital signs that were measured included body temperature, pulse and respiratory rates, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and weight. On treatment days, measurement occurred prior to emicizumab administration.

Change From Baseline in the Hemophilia Quality of Life Short Form (Haemo-QoL-SF) Questionnaire Physical Health Domain Score at Specified Timepoints, Adolescent Participants [ Time Frame: Baseline (Week 1), 3, 6, 12, and 18 months, and at Early Termination or Study Completion (up to 24 months) ]
    The Haemo-QoL-SF was designed as a series of age-related questionnaires to measure health-related quality of life in children and adolescents (12-17 year olds) with hemophilia. This version contains 35 items and covers nine domains considered relevant for children's health-related quality of life: physical health, treatment, sports and school, dealing with hemophilia, feelings, family, friends, other people, and view of yourself. Items are rated by participants with one of five response options: never, seldom, sometimes, often, and always. Scale scores range from 0 to 100, with a lower score reflective of better health-related quality of life.

    The EQ-5D-5L is a generic, self-reported, preference-based health utility measure that consists of six questions and is used to assess health status and inform pharmacoeconomic evaluations. The index utility score is based on the participant's assessment of their health on five scales: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. It ranges from -0.224 to 1, with 0 corresponding to death and 1 corresponding to full health; negative values correspond to health states worse than death. Higher scores indicate better quality of life.

Higher scores are reflective of better health.

  37. Percentage of Participants Who Preferred the New Emicizumab Treatment or the Old Hemophilia Treatment, or Without Treatment Preference, as Assessed by the EmiPref Questionnaire [ Time Frame: Month 3 ]
    The EmiPref questionnaire asked participants to specify the treatment they would prefer to continue to receive after receiving treatment with their previous episodic or prophylactic regimen and subcutaneous (SC) emicizumab, or if they had no preference. The 95% confidence intervals were calculated for one sample binomial using the Pearson-Clopper method.

  38. Number and Percentage of Participants With Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADAs) Against Emicizumab at Anytime Post-Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline (Week 1), Week 5, and at 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18 months, and at early termination/study completion (up to 24 months) ]
    'Total ADA Negative' is the sum of all subjects who tested negative for ADA in the 2 following categories: 'ADA Negative', those who are pre-dose ADA negative or are missing pre-dose ADA data and who have all negative post-dose ADA results; and 'ADA Negative (Treatment Unaffected)', a subset who are pre-dose ADA positive but do not have a ≥4-fold increase in post-dose ADA levels compared to baseline measurement. 'Total ADA Positive' is the sum of all subjects who tested positive for ADA in the 2 following categories: 'ADA Positive (Treatment Boosted)', those who are pre-dose ADA positive and have a ≥4-fold increase in post-dose ADA levels compared to baseline measurement; and 'ADA Positive (Treatment Induced)', those who are pre-dose ADA negative or missing data and who have at least one post-dose ADA positive sample.
