- Least Squares Mean Change From Baseline Over the 6-Month Treatment Period in Prothrombin Fragment 1 + 2 Levels [ Time Frame: Baseline through Month 6 ]Normal range for this hemostatic parameter was 41 to 372 pmol/L. Participants were in a fasting state and had refrained from moderate to vigorous exercise prior to phlebotomy on the day of this lab draw. Change from baseline was analyzed using a repeated measures analysis of covariance with covariate adjustment for baseline, treatment, month, and the treatment by month interaction.
- Least Squares Mean Change From Baseline Over the 6-Month Treatment Period in D-Dimer [ Time Frame: Baseline through Month 6 ]Normal range for this hemostatic parameter was 0 to 729 mcg/L. Participants were in a fasting state and had refrained from moderate to vigorous exercise prior to phlebotomy on the day of this lab draw. Change from baseline was analyzed using a repeated measures analysis of covariance with covariate adjustment for baseline, treatment, month, and the treatment by month interaction.
- Least Squares Mean Change From Baseline Over the 6-Month Period in Protein S Total Antigen [ Time Frame: Baseline through Month 6 ]The normal range for this hemostatic parameter was 50% to 147%. Participants were in a fasting state and had refrained from moderate to vigorous exercise prior to phlebotomy on the day of this lab draw. Change from baseline was analyzed using a repeated measures analysis of covariance with covariate adjustment for baseline, treatment, month, and the treatment by month interaction.
- Least Squares Mean Change From Baseline Over the 6-Month Treatment Period in Protein C Activity [ Time Frame: Baseline through Month 6 ]The normal range for this hemostatic parameter was 70% to 180%. Participants were in a fasting state and had refrained from moderate to vigorous exercise prior to phlebotomy on the day of this lab draw. Change from baseline was analyzed using a repeated measures analysis of covariance with covariate adjustment for baseline, treatment, month, and the treatment by month interaction.
- Least Squares Mean Change From Baseline Over the 6-Month Treatment Period in Antithrombin [ Time Frame: Baseline through Month 6 ]Normal range for this hemostatic parameter was 75% to 130%. Participants were in a fasting state and had refrained from moderate to vigorous exercise prior to phlebotomy on the day of this lab draw. Change from baseline was analyzed using a repeated measures analysis of covariance with covariate adjustment for baseline, treatment, month, and the treatment by month interaction.
- Least Squares Mean Change From Baseline Over the 6-Month Treatment Period in Factor II Activity [ Time Frame: Baseline through Month 6 ]Normal range for this hemostatic parameter was 70% to 150%. Participants were in a fasting state and had refrained from moderate to vigorous exercise prior to phlebotomy on the day of this lab draw. Change from baseline was analyzed using a repeated measures analysis of covariance with covariate adjustment for baseline, treatment, month, and the treatment by month interaction.
- Least Squares Mean Change From Baseline Over the 6-Month Treatment Period in Factor VII [ Time Frame: Baseline through Month 6 ]Normal range for this hemostatic parameter was 60% to 150%. Participants were in a fasting state and had refrained from moderate to vigorous exercise prior to phlebotomy on the day of this lab draw. Change from baseline was analyzed using a repeated measures analysis of covariance with covariate adjustment for baseline, treatment, month, and the treatment by month interaction.
- Least Squares Mean Change From Baseline Over the 6-Month Treatment Period in Factor VIII [ Time Frame: Baseline through Month 6 ]Normal range for this hemostatic parameter was 50% to 180%. Participants were in a fasting state and had refrained from moderate to vigorous exercise prior to phlebotomy on the day of this lab draw.

- Least Squares Mean Change From Baseline Over the 6-Month Treatment Period in Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT)-Based Activated Protein-C (APC) Resistance [ Time Frame: Baseline through Month 6 ]This hemostatic parameter is calculated by dividing the clotting time with APC by the clotting time without APC. Normal range for this measure was defined as a ratio of 2.00 to 3.36. Participants were in a fasting state and had refrained from moderate to vigorous exercise prior to phlebotomy on the day of this lab draw. Change from baseline was analyzed using a repeated measures analysis of covariance with covariate adjustment for baseline, treatment, month, and the treatment by month interaction.
- Least Squares Mean Change From Baseline Over the 6-Month Treatment Period in Endogenous Thrombin Potential (EPT)-Based Activated Protein-C (APC) Resistance [ Time Frame: Baseline through Month 6 ]This hemostatic parameter is calculated by dividing the clotting time with APC by the clotting time without APC. Normal range for this measure was defined as a ratio of 0.32 to 1.79. Participants were in a fasting state and had refrained from moderate to vigorous exercise prior to phlebotomy on the day of this lab draw. Change from baseline was analyzed using a repeated measures analysis of covariance with covariate adjustment for baseline, treatment, month, and the treatment by month interaction.
