Study Description

Brief Summary:

The main aims of the study are to learn if TAK-672 can control bleeds in participants with acquired hemophilia A and if the participants have side effects from TAK-672. Acquired hemophilia A is when people's immune system attacks specific proteins, known as clotting factors, in their bodies. This is different from hemophilia A, which is a condition people are born with.

At the first visit, the study doctor will check who can take part. For those who can take part, participants will visit the clinic or hospital when they get their next bleed. They will receive TAK-672 slowly through a vein. This is called an infusion. They might need extra infusions of TAK-672 to control the bleed. After their bleed is controlled, participants will regularly visit the clinic for a check-up and to treat any further bleeds. This will happen until all participants have received their last dose of TAK-672 to control their 1st bleed. After this, all participants will visit the clinic 90 days later for a final check-up.

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: TAK-672; TAK-672 will be administered at an initial dose of 200 U/kg with intravenous infusion at a rate of 1-2 mL/min. Subsequent doses will be determined based on the post-infusion factor VIII activity (FVIII:C) achieved after the most recent dose given, the target FVIII:C, and pFVIII inhibitor titer (when available)	Biological: TAK-672; B-Domain Deleted Recombinant Porcine Factor VIII; Other Name: rpFVIII, TAK-672, Obizur

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Percentage of Severe Bleeding Episodes with Demonstrated Response to TAK-672 Therapy at 24 Hours after the Initiation of Treatment [ Time Frame: 24 hours after the initiation of treatment ]
   Percentage of severe bleeding episodes with demonstrated response to TAK-672 therapy at 24 hours after the initiation of treatment will be assessed by using a well-defined 4-point ordinal scale - A 'positive response' is defined as 'effective' (bleeding stopped with clinical control and FVIII:C levels of 50% or higher ) or 'partially effective' (bleeding reduced with clinical stabilization and FVIII:C levels of 20% or higher) control of bleeding, as determined by the investigator using a 4-point rating scale (effective - partially effective - poorly effective - not effective). 'Poorly effective' is defined as 'bleeding slightly reduced or unchanged and FVIII:C levels of less than 50%'. 'Not effective' is defined as 'bleeding worsening and FVIII:C levels of less than 50%'.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. The Overall Percentage of Severe Bleeding Episodes Successfully Controlled with TAK-672 Therapy, as Assessed by the Investigator [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year (90 days after final treatment dosing) ]
   Treatment success is defined as control of qualifying bleeding episode at the time of final treatment dosing. A severe bleeding episode is considered 'successfully controlled' if the investigator has checked 'completed TAK-672 therapy as treatment success' on the electronic case report form (eCRF).
2. The Percentage of Bleeding Episodes Responsive to TAK-672 Therapy at Designated Assessment Time Points after the Initiation of Therapy, as Assessed by the Investigator [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year (90 days after final treatment dosing) ]
   A 'positive response' is defined as 'effective' (bleeding stopped with clinical control and FVIII:C levels of 50% or higher ) or 'partially effective' (bleeding reduced with clinical stabilization and FVIII:C levels of 20% or higher) control of bleeding, as determined by the investigator using a 4-point rating scale (effective - partially effective - poorly effective - not effective). 'Poorly effective' is defined as 'bleeding slightly reduced or unchanged and FVIII:C levels of less than 50%'. 'Not effective' is defined as 'bleeding worsening and FVIII:C levels of less than 50%'.
3. Frequency of Infusions of TAK-672 Required to Successfully Control Qualifying Bleeding Episodes [ Time Frame: Time of successful control of qualifying bleeding episode (varied from participant to participant) ]
   'Frequency of infusions' will be calculated as the 'average number of infusions per day'. 'Qualifying bleeding episode' is defined as the 'initial, severe bleeding episode'
4. Total Dose of Infusions of TAK-672 Required to Successfully Control Qualifying Bleeding Episodes. [ Time Frame: Time of successful control of qualifying bleeding episode (varied from participant to participant) ]
   'Qualifying bleeding episode' is defined as the 'initial, severe bleeding episode'.
5. Total Number of Infusions of TAK-672 Required to Successfully Control Qualifying Bleeding Episodes [ Time Frame: Time of successful control of qualifying bleeding episode (varied from participant to participant) ]
   'Qualifying bleeding episode' is defined as the 'initial, severe bleeding episode'. A severe bleeding episode is considered 'successfully controlled' if the investigator had checked 'completed TAK-672 therapy as treatment success' on the eCRF.
6. Correlation between Response to TAK-672 Therapy at Specified Time Points and Eventual Control of Severe Bleeding Episodes [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year (90 days after final treatment dosing) ]
7. Correlation among the Pre-infusion Anti-TAK-672 Antibody Titers and the Eventual Control of the Bleeding Episode [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year (90 days after final treatment dosing) ]
8. Correlation among the Total Dose of TAK-672 and the Eventual Control of the Bleeding Episode [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year (90 days after final treatment dosing) ]
9. Correlation between the Response at 24 Hours and the Eventual Control of the Bleeding Episode [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year (90 days after final treatment dosing) ]
10. Anti-hFVIII Inhibitor Level [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year (90 days after final treatment dosing) ]
11. Anti-pFVIII Inhibitor Level [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year (90 days after final treatment dosing) ]
12. Terminal Half-life (t1/2) for TAK-672 [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and at multiple time points (up to 24 hours) post-dose ]
13. Clearance (CL) for TAK-672 [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and at multiple time points (up to 24 hours) post-dose ]
14. Volume of Distribution (Vd) for TAK-672 [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and at multiple time points (up to 24 hours) post-dose ]
15. Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) for TAK-672 [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and at multiple time points (up to 24 hours) post-dose ]
16. Maximum Drug Concentration (Cmax) per Dose (Cmax/Dose) for TAK-672 [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and at multiple time points (up to 24 hours) post-dose ]
17. Duration Period from Initial Dose of TAK-672 until Completion of Hemostasis Control [ Time Frame: Time of completion of hemostasis control (varied from participant to participant) ]
