Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Concizumab
Concizumab administered in both the main phase and extension phase, with eptacog alfa administered on-demand during bleeding episodes
|
Drug: Concizumab
A loading dose of 0.5 mg/kg will be given as the first dose, followed by 0.15 mg/kg (with potential stepwise dose escalation to 0.25 mg/kg) administered daily s.c. (subcutaneously, under the skin). Treatment duration is 24 weeks in the main trial, and up to 52 weeks in the extension phase Drug: Eptacog alfa A single dose of 90 μg/kg eptacog alfa one week after dosing with concizumab. On-demand treatment during bleeding episodes in both treatment arms |
Active Comparator: Eptacog alfa and concizumab
Eptacog alfa administered on-demand during bleeding episodes as the only intervention during the main phase. Concizumab given in the extension phase
|
Drug: Concizumab
A loading dose of 0.5 mg/kg will be given as the first dose, followed by 0.15 mg/kg (with potential stepwise dose escalation to 0.25 mg/kg) administered daily s.c. (subcutaneously, under the skin). Treatment duration is 24 weeks in the main trial, and up to 52 weeks in the extension phase Drug: Eptacog alfa A single dose of 90 μg/kg eptacog alfa one week after dosing with concizumab.
