- Incremental Recovery Following a Single Intravenous Dose of 50 IU/kg rIX-FP or Previous FIX Product [ Time Frame: 30 minutes after infusion ]Incremental recovery (IU/dL/IU/kg) is defined as the FIX activity (IU/dL) obtained 30 minutes following infusion, per dose of (IU/kg) infusion. FIX activity was measured at a central laboratory using validated one-stage clotting method. Recovery values were baseline-corrected for pre-infusion plasma FIX activity. Incremental recovery was measured following a single intravenous dose of 50 IU/kg rIX-FP on Day 1. Analysis of previous FIX product was conducted at the beginning of the study in a subset of subjects who had no historical pharmacokinetic (PK) data of their previous FIX product. For the PK assessment, the previous FIX product was administered by IV infusion after approximately 4 days following the last FIX treatment, prior to any dosing of rIX-FP. The formal PK population consisted of subjects who received at least 1 dose of rIX-FP for PK assessment and for whom a sufficient number of analyzable PK samples had been obtained to permit the evaluation of the PK profile of rIX-FP.
- Half-life (t1/2) Following a Single Intravenous Dose of 50 IU/kg rIX-FP or Previous FIX Product [ Time Frame: Pre-dose, 30 minutes, 3, 24, 48, 72 120, 168, 240 and 336 hours post-dose ]FIX activity was measured at a central laboratory using validated one-stage clotting method. FIX levels were not corrected for baseline values.
- Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time Point Zero to the Last Sample With Quantifiable Drug Concentration (AUClast) [ Time Frame: Pre-dose, 30 minutes, 3, 24, 48, 72 120, 168, 240 and 336 hours post-dose ]
AUClast following a single intravenous dose of 50 IU/kg rIX-FP or previous FIX product.
FIX activity was measured at a central laboratory using validated one-stage clotting method. FIX levels were not corrected for baseline values.
- Clearance for FIX Activity Following a Single Intravenous Dose of 50 IU/kg rIX-FP or Previous FIX Product [ Time Frame: Pre-dose, 30 minutes, 3, 24, 48, 72 120, 168, 240 and 336 hours post-dose ]FIX activity was measured at a central laboratory using validated one-stage clotting method. FIX levels were not corrected for baseline values. Clearance is normalized for body weight.
- Number of Subjects Developing Inhibitors to Factor IX (FIX) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Inhibitor formation was defined as any inhibitor (≥0.6 BU [Bethesda Units]/mL) identified and confirmed by retesting.
- Number of Subjects With Treatment-related Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
- Number of Subjects Developing Antibodies Against rIX-FP [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Antibodies to rIX-FP were measured using a direct-binding enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
- Number of Bleeding Episodes Requiring One, Two or More Than Two Infusions of rIX-FP to Achieve Hemostasis [ Time Frame: Approximately 12 months ]For each bleeding episode that required treatment, the number of episodes that required one, two or more than two infusions of rIX-FP to achieve hemostasis
- Consumption of rIX-FP During Routine Prophylaxis [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Consumption of rIX-FP during routine prophylaxis is expressed as the total prophylaxis dose per month.
