Current Primary Outcome Measures (submitted: January 24, 2024)

Change From Baseline in FVIII Activity as Measured by Chromogenic Substrate Assay at Week 52. [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52 ]

The change from baseline (assuming no treatment for severe hemophilia A) in FVIII activity, as measured by chromogenic substrate assay (CSA), at Week 52 (during Weeks 49 - 52) post-BMN 270 infusion. Each participant's FVIII activity level at Week 52 is defined as the median of the values obtained within the analysis window at Weeks 49-52. The baseline value will be imputed as 1 IU/dL, since there will be no washout of severe hemophilia A participants' usual FVIII prophylaxis (in order to avoid increasing the risk of bleeding) prior to BMN 270 infusion. Post-BMN 270 infusion values for FVIII activity will be excluded from analysis if obtained within 72 hours (or 3 calendar days if time is not available) since the last infusion of exogenous FVIII replacement therapy. Baseline: prior to BMN 270 infusion while receiving FVIII prophylaxis.

Original Primary Outcome Measures (submitted: March 25, 2020)

Change of the median Factor VIII (FVIII) activity [ Time Frame: 52 weeks ]

Changes in the median Factor VIII activity (IU/mL) will be measured using the chromogenic FVIII assay

Current Secondary Outcome Measures (submitted: January 24, 2024)

• Change From Baseline in Annualized Utilization of Exogenous FVIII Replacement Therapy in EEP [ Time Frame: Baseline to efficacy evaluation period (EEP) ]
  The change from baseline (prior to BMN 270 infusion while receiving FVIII prophylaxis) in the annualized utilization (IU/kg/year) of exogenous FVIII replacement therapy in the efficacy evaluation period ("Post-FVIII Prophylaxis period"). The annualized utilization (IU/kg/year) of exogenous FVIII replacement therapy is defined as Sum of FVIII use (IU/kg) during calculation period/Total number of days during the calculation period ×365.25. Baseline: prior to BMN 270 infusion while receiving FVIII prophylaxis EEP: From Week 5 post-BMN 270 infusion (Study Day 33) or the end of FVIII prophylaxis plus the washout period (3 days for products of standard half-life or plasma-derived and 5 days for products of extended half-life), whichever is later, to last visit by the data cut-off for the analysis, hereafter referred to as "Post FVIII Prophylaxis to Last Visit").
• Change From Baseline in the Annualized Number of Bleeding Episodes Irrespective of Exogenous FVIII Replacement Treatment (Annualized Bleeding Rate, ABR for All Bleeds) in EEP [ Time Frame: Baseline to efficacy evaluation period (EEP) ]
  All bleeds comprises both treated and non-treated bleeds. In this definition, all bleeds are included, irrespective of treatment with coagulation factors, with the following exception: bleeds due to surgery/procedure are excluded. All bleeds are any reported bleeding events regardless of the use of FVIII or other treatments. ABR for all bleeds= Number of bleeding episodes for all bleeds during the calculation period / total number of days during the calculation period * 365.25. Baseline: prior to BMN 270 infusion while receiving FVIII prophylaxis. EEP: From Week 5 post-BMN 270 infusion (Study Day 33) or the end of FVIII prophylaxis plus the washout period (3 days for products of standard half-life or plasma-derived and 5 days for products of extended half-life), whichever is later, to last visit by the data cut-off for analysis, hereafter referred to as "Post FVIII Prophylaxis to Last Visit").
• Change From Baseline in the Annualized Number of Bleeding Episodes Requiring Exogenous FVIII Replacement Treatment (ABR for Treated Bleeds) in the EEP. [ Time Frame: Baseline to EEP ]
  ABR for treated bleeds=Number of bleeding episodes for treated bleeds during the calculation period/total number of days during the calculation period * 365.25 Bleeds that were treated with FVIII replacement therapy (recorded as "treatment for bleed") within 72 hours and were not associated with surgery or a procedure were included. Baseline: prior to BMN 270 infusion while receiving FVIII prophylaxis. EEP: From Week 5 post-BMN 270 infusion (Study Day 33) or the end of FVIII prophylaxis plus the washout period (3 days for products of standard half-life or plasma-derived and 5 days for products of extended half-life), whichever is later, to last visit by the data cut-off for analysis, hereafter referred to as "Post FVIII Prophylaxis to Last Visit").
• Change From Baseline in Haemo-QoL-A Quality of Life: Total Score at Week 52 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52 ]
  The change from baseline(assuming no treatment for severe hemophilia A) in Haemo-Qol-A score, at wk52 post-BMN 270 infusion.The Haemo-Qol-A questionnaire is a fit for purpose hemophilia-specific health related quality of life(HRQoL)questionnaire for adults consisting of 41 items covering 6 domains(Physical Functioning, Role Functioning,Worry,Consequences of Bleeding,Emotional Impact &Treatment Concerns). The Haemo-Qol-A items are answered on a 6-point Likert scale ranging from 0(none of the time)to 5 (all of the time).The recall period for the Haemo-Qol-A is one month (4-weeks). The Haemo-QoL-A domain(physical functioning, role functioning, worry, consequences of bleeding, emotional impact, treatment concern) scores range from 0 to 5 and the total score is derived by summing each domain score (range, 0 to 30). Domain and total scores are transformed to a 0 (minimum) to 100 (maximum) scale with higher scores indicating a better or less impaired haemophilia related quality of life.
• Change From Baseline in Haemo-QoL-A Quality of Life: Physical Functioning Domain Score, at Week 52 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52 ]
  The change from baseline (assuming no treatment for severe hemophilia A) in Haemo-Qol-A score, at week 52 post BMN 270 infusion.

The Haemo-Qol-A physical functioning domain score is an average of each item value within a domain.The range of domain scores is 0 to 5; higher scores mean better HRQoL or less impairment for the domain. The physical functioning domain score is transformed to a 0 (minimum) to 100 (maximum) scale with higher scores indicating a better or less impaired haemophilia-related physical functioning

The Haemo-Qol-A items are answered on a 6-point Likert scale ranging from 0(none of the time) to 5(all of the time). The recall period for the Haemo-Qol-A is one month (4-wks). The Haemo-Qol-A consequences of bleeding domain score is an average of each item value within a domain. The range of domain scores is 0 to 5; higher scores mean better HRQoL or less impairment for the domain.

16. Any condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator or Sponsor would prevent the patient from fully complying with the requirements of the study (including possible corticosteroids (CS) treatment and/or use of alternative immunosuppressive agents (AIS) outlined in the protocol) and/or would impact or interfere with evaluation and interpretation of participant safety or efficacy result.

Optional Liver Biopsy Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria

Individuals eligible for the optional liver biopsy must meet the following inclusion criteria:

1. Able to sign informed consent and comply with requirements for the optional liver biopsy
2. Documentation of FVIII activity >= 50 IU/dL (or higher, depending on local guidelines and/or Investigator discretion) within 24 hours prior to the liver biopsy being performed (FVIII activity levels should be assessed at the local laboratory). Participants may be treated with additional exogenous FVIII replacement products in order to increase their FVIII activity to an appropriate level, under the supervision/instruction of the Investigator.

Individuals who meet the following exclusion criterion are not be eligible for the optional liver biopsy:

1. Any condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator or a hepatologist/radiologist would make liver biopsy contraindicated. This includes (but is not limited to) abnormalities detected on liver ultrasound performed within 28 days of procedure, or prior liver ultrasound result within 90 days that would preclude safe performance of the biopsy
