Brief Summary:
This study is for young children with severe hemophilia A who have previously not been treated with BAX855 or other FVIII concentrates.
The main aim of the study is to check for side effects from treatment with BAX855. This includes the buildup of antibodies against FVIII which may stop BAX855 from working properly. Another aim is to learn how well BAX855 controls bleeding.
In this study, the children can receive BAX855 either as preventative treatment (prophylaxis), or as needed to treat bleeding (on-demand).
In case a participant develops antibodies, treatment will be provided as part of the study.

Experimental: Previously untreated patients (PUPs)
Part A (Main Study): Participants age <3 years and not experienced two joint bleeds will receive on- demand treatment of 10-80 international unit per kilogram (IU/kg) of BAX 855 intravenously depending on the severity of the bleeding episode and age <3 years or after a maximum of two joint bleeds will receive prophylaxis treatment with dose of 25-80 IU/kg of BAX855 IV (based on investigator discretion) once weekly for up to 100 EDs. Part A (Surgery): In participants, the administration of BAX 855 will be individualized based on the participants IR and half-life. For major surgery to achieve the target level of 80-100% FVIII in plasma of normal FVIII level and for minor surgery >=30-60% FVIII levels for dental or other invasive surgery. Part B (Immune tolerance induction [ITI]): Participants will receive prophylaxis treatment of 100-200 IU/kg BAX 855 IV daily or 50 IU/kg three time in a week and will be reduced to twice weekly to maintain FVIII trough level of 1% for further 3 months. |

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Number of Participants With FVIII Inhibitor Development [ Time Frame: Throughout Part A of the study, approximately 5 years ]Number of participants who develop an inhibitor (at any time) confirmed by a central laboratory based on a second repeat blood sample draw within 2 weeks of site notification of an inhibitor and all participants who not developed an inhibitor and has greater than or equal to (>=) 100 exposure doses (EDs) when the sample for the last valid inhibitor test will be drawn.
- Success Rate of Immune Tolerance Induction (ITI) [ Time Frame: Up to 33 months ]Success is defined as 1) a persistently negative inhibitor titer less than (<) 0.6 Bethesda unit (BU), 2) FVIII IR >=66% of the baseline value following a wash-out period of 84-96 hours, and 3) a FVIII half-life of >=6 hours.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Binding Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and Immunoglobulin M (IgM) Antibodies [ Time Frame: Throughout Part A of the study, approximately 5 years ]Binding IgG and IgM antibodies to Factor VIII (FVIII), Factor VIII-Polyethylene glycol (PEG-FVIII) and Polyethylene glycol (PEG).
- Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Throughout Part A and Part B of the study, approximately 7 years ]An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered an IP that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. A SAE is any untoward clinical manifestation of signs, symptoms or outcomes (whether considered related to investigational product or not and at any dose) which results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization, prolongation of hospitalization, is an important medical event. Number of participants with AEs and SAEs in both part A and part B will be assessed.
- Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Vital Signs [ Time Frame: Throughout Part A and Part B of the study, approximately 7 years ]Vital signs will be assessed based on body temperature, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and heart rate.
- Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Clinical Laboratory Parameters [ Time Frame: Throughout Part A and Part B of the study, approximately 7 years ]Clinical laboratory parameters includes hematology and clinical chemistry. Changes in laboratory values may be considered as AE if they are judged to be clinically significant.
- Annualized Bleeding Rate (ABR) for Prophylactic and On-demand Treatment [ Time Frame: Throughout Part A of the study, approximately 5 years ]ABR is assessed based upon each individual bleeding episode. A bleeding episode is defined as subjective (pain consistent with a joint bleed) or objective evidence of bleeding which may or may not require treatment with FVIII. Bleeding occurring at multiple locations related to the same injury (example, knee and ankle bleed following a fall) will be counted as a single bleeding episode. Total annualized bleed rate (spontaneous and traumatic bleeding episodes) will be reported.
- Number of BAX 855 Infusions Needed for the Treatment of Bleeding Episodes [ Time Frame: Throughout Part A of the study, approximately 5 years ]A bleeding episode is defined as subjective (pain consistent with a joint bleed) or objective evidence of bleeding which may or may not require treatment with FVIII. The number of BAX 855 infusions needed for each bleeding episode is determined by the participant, caregiver, clinician treating the participant, and is based upon the participant's response to treatment, using the Efficacy Rating Scale for Treatment of Bleeding Episodes.
- Number of Bleeding Episodes: Overall Hemostatic Efficacy Rating at Initiation of Treatment [ Time Frame: 24 hours after study drug administration ]The participant or caregiver rated the overall treatment response using a 4-point efficacy rating scale as Excellent: Full relief of pain and cessation of objective signs of bleeding after a single infusion and no additional infusion is required for the control of bleeding; Good: Definite pain relief and/or improvement in signs of bleeding after a single infusion and possibly requires more than 1 infusion for complete resolution; Fair: Probable and/or slight relief of pain and slight improvement in signs of bleeding after a single infusion and required more than 1 infusion for complete resolution and None: No improvement or condition worsens
- Number of Bleeding Episodes: Overall Hemostatic Efficacy Rating at Bleed Resolution [ Time Frame: From start of study treatment up to bleed resolution (approximately 5 years) ]The participant or caregiver rated the overall treatment response using a 4-point efficacy rating scale as Excellent: Full relief of pain and cessation of objective signs of bleeding after a single infusion and no additional infusion is required for the control of bleeding; Good: Definite pain relief and/or improvement in signs of bleeding after a single infusion and possibly requires more than 1 infusion for complete resolution; Fair: Probable and/or slight relief of pain and slight improvement in signs of bleeding after a single infusion and required more than 1 infusion for complete resolution and None: No improvement or condition worsens.
- Number of Participants With Weight-adjusted Consumption of BAX 855 [ Time Frame: Throughout Part A of the study, approximately 5 years ]Weight-adjusted consumption of BAX 855 will be determined based upon the record in participants diaries of the actual amount of BAX 855 infused, indication (treatment of bleeding episode, prophylaxis,surgery) and the participants weight, as measured in the clinic.
- Number of Infusions During Weight-adjusted Consumption of BAX 855 [ Time Frame: Throughout Part A of the study, approximately 5 years ]The number of BAX 855 infusions needed for each bleeding episode is determined by the participant, caregiver, clinician treating the participant, and is based upon the participant's response to treatment, using the Efficacy Rating Scale for Treatment of Bleeding Episodes.
- Number of Participants With Hemostatic Efficacy in Case of Surgery [ Time Frame: Surgery Day 0 up to postoperative Day 14 or discharge (whichever occurs first) ]The hemostatic efficacy will be assessed during and after any surgical or invasive procedures, and overall as a perioperative assessment.
- Blood Loss Per Participant in Case of Surgery [ Time Frame: Surgery Day 0 up to postoperative Day 14 or discharge (whichever occurs first) ]The intraoperative blood loss will be measured by determining the volume of blood and fluid removal through suction into the collection container (waste box and/or cell saver) and the estimated blood loss into swabs and towels during the procedure, per the anesthesiologist's record. Post-operatively, blood loss will be determined by the drainage volume collected, which will mainly consist of drainage fluid via vacuum or gravity drain, as applicable.
- Incremental Recovery (IR) of BAX 855 [ Time Frame: Pre-infusion within 30 minutes; and post-infusion at 15-30 minutes and 24-48 hours ]BAX 855 will be administered in participants for the determination of FVIII IR at the study site at baseline and every study visit other than study visits.
- Half-life (T1/2) of BAX 855 [ Time Frame: Pre-infusion, Post-infusion: 15-30 minutes and 24-48 hours ]The Half-life to determine FVIII half-life is an optional assessment that will be performed at baseline, Visit 1, or Visit 2.
- Immune Tolerance Induction (ITI) - Rate of Partial Success and Failure of ITI [ Time Frame: Up to 33 months ]Partial success defined as which meet two of following criteria, 1) inhibitor titer <0.6 BU (confirmed by a central laboratory with a second blood specimen obtained within 2 months), 2) FVIII in vivo recovery >=66% of baseline value (confirmed within a two month period), and 3) FVIII half-life >=6 hours. Failure defined as the failure to meet the criteria for partial success.
- Immune Tolerance Induction (ITI) - Annualized Bleeding Rate (ABR) [ Time Frame: Up to 33 months ]ABR is assessed based upon each individual bleeding episode. A bleeding episode is defined as subjective (pain consistent with a joint bleed) or objective evidence of bleeding which may or may not require treatment with FVIII. Bleeding occurring at multiple locations related to the same injury (example, knee and ankle bleed following a fall) will be counted as a single bleeding episode. Total annualized bleed rate (spontaneous and traumatic bleeding episodes) will be reported.
- Immune Tolerance Induction (ITI) - Weight-adjusted Consumption of BAX 855 for Each ITI Regimen Employed [ Time Frame: Up to 33 months ]Weight-adjusted consumption of BAX 855 will be determined based upon the record in participant's diaries of the actual amount of BAX 855 infused, indication (treatment of bleeding episode, prophylaxis) and the participant's weight, as measured in the clinic.
- Immune Tolerance Induction (ITI) - Catheter-related Complications [ Time Frame: Up to 33 months ]The frequency per subject and per subject-year of catheter-related complications will be calculated.
- Immune Tolerance Induction (ITI) - Binding Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and Immunoglobulin M (IgM) Antibodies [ Time Frame: Up to 33 months ]Binding IgG and IgM antibodies to Factor VIII (FVIII), Factor VIII-Polyethylene glycol (PEG-FVIII) and Polyethylene glycol (PEG).
