Study Design

Allocation: Non-Randomized
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Intervention Model Description:

The intervention study model is "single group" because all three cohorts of participants with hemophilia A will be receiving the same intervention: emicizumab.

Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Basic Science

Condition

• Severe Hemophilia A
• Moderate Hemophilia A

Intervention

Drug: Emicizumab

The emicizumab dosing regimen will be 3 milligrams per kilogram of body weight (mg/kg) subcutaneously (SC) once a week (QW) for 4 weeks followed by participant preference of one of the following maintenance regimens: 1.5 mg/kg QW, 3 mg/kg once every 2 weeks (Q2W), or 6 mg/kg once every 4 weeks (Q4W) in agreement with the investigator.

Participants who completed successful immune tolerance induction (ITI) at least 5 years before screening are eligible, provided they have had no evidence of inhibitor recurrence (permanent or temporary) as may be indicated by detection of an inhibitor, FVIII half-life <6 hours, or FVIII recovery <66% since completing ITI
• Participants who were on standard FVIII prophylaxis, defined as the regular administration of FVIII to prevent bleeding, for at least the last 24 weeks, can be enrolled regardless of the number of bleeds during this period
