Summary
Primary Objective

To evaluate immunogenicity of N9-GP (nonacog beta pegol)
Primary Endpoint

Incidence of inhibitory antibodies against FIX 
Secondary Objectives

To evaluate safety of N9-GP (nonacog beta pegol)

To evaluate efficacy of N9-GP (nonacog beta pegol)
o
in long-term prophylaxis treatment 
o
in the treatment of bleeding episodes 
o
through the surrogate marker: FIX activity
o
through monitoring of number of doses and consumption of N9-GP
Key Secondary Endpoint

Number and frequency of adverse events, serious adverse events, and Medical Events of Special 
Interest

Number of breakthrough bleeding episodes during prophylaxis (annualised bleeding rate)

Haemostatic effect by 4-point haemostatic response scale (“excellent”, “good”, “moderate” and 
“poor”)
Time Frame of the Objectives/Endpoint
All objectives/endpoints will be evaluated when minimum 20 PUPs have reached at least 50 
exposure days (EDs), when minimum 40 PUPs have reached at least 100 EDs, and at end of trial. 
End of trial will be 30 Oct 2022.
Trial design
The trial is an open label, single-arm, multinational, non-controlled confirmatory trial investigating 
safety and efficacy of N9-GP in prophylaxis and treatment of breakthrough bleeding episodes in 
haemophilia B previously untreated patients with FIX activity ≤ 2%.The trial has one treatment arm 
in which at least 40 patients should achieve at least 100 exposure days with N9-GP.
The European medicines agency requires submission of safety and efficacy data from a minimum of 
50 exposure days in at least 20 patients for approval of the indication in previously untreated 
patients, with a post-approval extension phase according to guideline to follow-up in at least 40 
patients, for a minimum of 100 exposure days. When minimum 20 patients have reached at least 50 
exposure days, the analysis and evaluation for the main trial report will be performed. All patients

Description
1
Any patient above the age of 3 years should sign a child assent form, if capable, and if required by local requirements. This can be performed on a separate day. As this is a 
long term trial the investigator should check the progressing maturation of the child and its ability to assent throughout the trial
2
When Informed consent has been obtained all adverse events must be reported in the eCRF
3
For practical purposes, when dispensing trial drug, the body weight from an earlier measurement (or visit) can be used if the measurement was performed within the previous 
12 weeks (in children < 3 years of age, within 6 weeks). After visit 29, a body weight measured within the previous 12 weeks for all age groups can be used. Please refer to 
Section 8.3.1.
4
Vital signs should be measured prior to dosing at screening, V1, V23, V28 and EOT. In addition vital signs should also be measured 30±10 minutes after the first injection 
with N9-GP at V1
5
FIX activity should only be measured at V0 if diagnosis of haemophilia B (FIX≤2%) has not been documented in the patients’ medical record. FIX activity at V0 can either be 
measured at local or central laboratory depending on the urgency of receiving the result i.e. in case V0 and V1 are combined
6
FIX recovery activity is measured 30 min ±10 min after dosing at the following EDs: 1, 10, 20, 50 and 100. For details please refer to Section 8.4.2.1
7
Blood samples must be collected within 1 hour prior to dosing at dosing visits
8
HIV antibodies are only to be assessed, if status is unknown (i.e. previous test older than 6 months). Tests for CD4+ lymphocyte count and HIV viral load are only required 
for HIV positive patients. Sampling can be postponed to the earliest convenient visit to ensure that the allowed blood volume is not exceeded
9
In case V1 is more than a month after V0, haematology and biochemistry need to be retaken at V1 prior to dosing. Biochemistry also needs to be retaken at visit 1 if 
biochemistry at V0 was a local assessment. Please refer to Section 8.4.2.4 and 8.4.2.5
10
F9 and HLA genotype sample should be taken prior to administrating the first dose of N9-GP or at a visit as soon as possible thereafter taking the limitation of the allowed 
blood sampling volume into account.  
11
eDiary training prior to initiating home treatment to ensure that the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) are comfortable entering data in the eDiary. Retrain in the use of the eDiary as 
applicable at V21-VX to ensure entry of correct eDiary data
12
When site visits are more than 3 months apart the Investigator must contact the patient’s parents/LAR at least every 12 weeks ± 1week to ensure the patients well-being. For 
details please refer to Section 8.8.4. Primarily expected to be applicable for patients treated according to pre-prophylaxis (V1-V20) and who visit the trial site less frequent 
than every 3 months. In addition all visits from V29 –VX will be scheduled every 24 weeks.
13
It will be possible to administer ED 11-20 outside the trial site (except ED 15 and 20 since blood sampling is needed). This is only allowed if the trial site can ensure presence 
of a relevant health care professional qualified of handling anaphylactic reactions
14
IWRS to be used for screening, visit registration, trial drug dispensing, drug accountability and completion. Refer to Section 10 for more information.
15
V0 and V1 can be combined to one visit, if the patient fulfils the in- and exclusions criteria
16
Blood sampling for FIX .inhibitor testing must be performed prior to administrating the first dose of N9-GP to the patient at visit 1. An inhibitor test must be performed before 
surgery if the previous inhibitor test was performed more than 30 days prior to surgery.
17
V29 to VX will be performed every 24 weeks ± 4 weeks until End of Trial

At every dosing visit from V29-VX, drug will be dispensed to cover up to 3 months of treatment
19
When the patient has commenced prophylaxis, visits can for practical purposes be planned according to the predicted number of EDs based on the patient’s prophylaxis 
regimen. A visit does not need to be re-scheduled even if the actual EDs between visits turn out higher due to treatment of bleeding episodes during the home treatment period
20
Allergic reaction testing can be taken at visit 0 or visit 1 pre-dose, taking the limitation of the allowed blood sampling volume into account.
21
Height will be collected at visit 0, visit 21, visit 23, visit 26, and at all visits from visit 28 to EOT visit. In case visit 1 is more than a month after visit 0, height needs to be 
redone at visit 1. For patients who have already attended visit 23 and 28 height at these two visits ± 1 month will be collected retrospective if available in medical records
upon parent(s)/LAR(s) consent.
22
Blood samples for PEG analysis should be taken at visit 0 taking the limitation of the allowed blood sampling volume into account. If not taken at visit 0, the blood sample 
should be taken at visit 1 pre-dose, if the blood volume allows.
23
Urine sample should be obtained if possible. It can be collected at home same day and brought to site if transported cold according to Section8.4.2.8. 
24
The neurological examination can for all visits be made within ±1 month of the visits, except for the visit 1 and EOT visit where it can be made at visit date or up to 1 month 
ahead of the visit. 
25
The neurocognitive assessments can for all visits be made within ±1 month of the visits, except for visit 1 and EOT visit where it can be made at visit date or up to 1 month 
ahead of the visit. For details see Table 8-1 and Table 8-2.

Background information and rationale for the trial
The trial will be conducted in compliance with this protocol, ICH GCP1 and applicable regulatory 
requirements, and in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.2
In this document, the term investigator refers to the individual responsible for the overall conduct of 
the clinical trial at a trial site.
3.1
Background information
Haemophilia B is a recessive X-linked congenital bleeding disorder characterised by increased 
bleeding tendency due to either a partial or complete deficiency or dysfunction of the essential 
blood coagulation factor IX (FIX). It is caused by mutations in the F9 gene, located in the distal part 
on the long arm of the X-chromosome. The incidence of haemophilia B is approximately 1 per 
25,000 male births. Haemophilia care is based on prevention (prophylaxis) and/or “on-demand 
treatment” of bleeding episodes with a haemostatic agent.
With a deficiency or absence of FIX, activation of coagulation factor X (FX) becomes severely 
impaired, and consequently, the thrombin burst becomes delayed and insufficient for normal 
haemostasis. The haemostatic plug formed in these patients is therefore fragile and easily dissolved 
by normal fibrinolytic activity, leading to impaired haemostasis, prolonged bleeding and 
rebleeding3. Haemophilia B is classified according to the plasma activity of FIX as severe (<1%), 
moderate (1-5%) or mild (>5-40%). 
The predominant treatment for patients with haemophilia B is factor replacement therapy where 
concentrates of FIX are injected intravenously to replace the deficient and/or dysfunctional FIX. 
Haemophilia care is based on treatment of a bleeding episode with a haemostatic agent or - during 
recent decades - haemostatic agents are administered for longer periods to prevent bleeding 
(bleeding prophylaxis).
The most commonly used products for the treatment of haemophilia B are plasma derived FIX and 
recombinant FIX (rFIX). Both have half-lives of 18-19 hours requiring 2-3 weekly injections for 
prophylaxis of bleeding episodes.4
The clinical manifestations of haemophilia B are bleeding episodes due to impaired haemostasis. 
The bleeding episodes in patients with severe haemophilia B typically occur spontaneously or after 
mild trauma in joints, muscles and soft tissues. The bleeding episodes often occur in muscles and 
weight bearing joints (elbows, knees and ankles), causing acute haemarthrosis. In repeated cases 
this is followed by synovitis in the affected joint. Recurrent bleeding episodes in the same location, 
most commonly a weight-bearing joint, may lead to chronic arthropathy, muscular atrophy and
disabling deformities. Bleeding may occur in all parts of the body including rare, but life-

threatening events such as: e.g. bleeding in the central nervous system (CNS), throat, neck or 
retroperitoneum.
3.2
Rationale for the trial
The rationale for performing this trial is to investigate safety and efficacy of N9-GP in the treatment 
of previously untreated patients (PUP) with haemophilia B, hereby supporting anticipated 
marketing authorisation of N9-GP and line extension in the PUP population. 
EMA requires separate investigation of PUPs as part of the development programme initiated 
before market authorisation (MA) gets obtained. A final guideline on the clinical investigation of 
recombinant and human plasma-derived factor IX products5 from the Committee for Medical 
Product for Human Use (CHMP), describes the mandatory components for trials in PUP. In some 
countries outside the EU, PUP Paediatric investigation is necessary to achieve labelled indication 
for all children.
3.3
N9-GP (nonacog beta pegol)
Novo Nordisk A/S is developing a recombinant coagulation factor IX, N9-GP (nonacog beta pegol), 
with a prolonged half-life for treatment of haemophilia B patients. The steady state half-life based 
on PK from the phase 3 trial of previously treated adults and adolescents haemophilia B was
determined to 111 hours. 
The long half-life is achieved by site-directed glycopegylation that makes it possible to attach a 40 
kilodalton polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecule to the FIX activation peptide.6 Upon activation by 
FIX’s physiological activators, the activation peptide – with the attached PEG – is cleaved off, 
thereby leaving wild type activated FIX (FIXa).
The product is intended for FIX replacement therapy in adults and children with haemophilia B. 
N9-GP is under development for both the control and prevention of bleeding episodes, including 
routine prophylaxis, and for treatment and prevention of bleeding during surgery.
For full information on medical aspects, non-clinical data and quality of N9-GP, please refer to the 
current version of the Investigator’s Brochure (IB)7 and any updates hereof.
For an overview of the trials in the clinical development programme of N9-GP, please refer to

Risk and benefits
Children are among those who might benefit significantly from prophylaxis with N9-GP. The most 
commonly used products  for the treatment of haemophilia B have short half-life of 18-19 hours 
demanding frequent dosing for prophylaxis of bleeding episodes, with 2-3 injections a week8. The 
prolonged half-life of N9-GP offers an expected advantage of once weekly or potentially even less 
frequent injections, which reduces the burden of treatment while maintaining effective haemostasis. 
Likewise it may promote adherence to therapy due to less frequent injections.6 The pivotal phase 3 
trial (NN7999-3747) demonstrated a prophylactic protection of 40 IU/kg N9-GP once weekly and 
showed that 99% of bleeding episodes in the 40 IU/kg arm were stopped with a single dose of N9-
GP.
N9-GP is manufactured in a serum-free process. The recombinant FIX part of N9-GP has an amino 
acid sequence identical to human FIX and is produced from the Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell-
line, a mammalian cell line shown to be free of known infectious agents.

The primary concern in PUPs is the risk of development of neutralising antibodies to FIX 
(inhibitors). Development of binding antibodies and inhibitors will be monitored closely throughout 
the trial.
Hypersensitivity reactions may occur with the administration of N9-GP, as with any protein injected 
intravenously. Patients will be closely monitored for development of hypersensitivity reactions, in 
relation to the first 20 exposures with N9-GP. 
Correlation between allergic reactions and the development of inhibitors have been observed with 
FIX treatment. If patients develop inhibitors, they will be carefully instructed how to react if an 
allergic reaction occurs following N9-GP administration. 
Pegylation of proteins is a well-established technology which is used in the treatment of a variety of 
clinical disorders.9 In repeat dose toxicity studies in animals, PEG was shown to be bio-distributed 
to blood in connective tissue and cytoplasm of epithelial cells of the choroid plexus of the brain, for 
further information refer to the current version of the Investigator’s Brochure (IB)7. The potential 
clinical implications of these animal findings are unknown. No adverse neurological effects of PEG 
have been reported in infants, children, and adolescents exposed to N9-GP during clinical trials. 
The potential consequences of long term exposure have not been fully evaluated. Due to this
theoretical safety concern regarding PEG, potential clinical effects of longer-term exposure to N9-
GP with special emphasis on the choroid plexus and the two major excretion organs (liver and 
kidney) will be investigated in more detail (neurological examination, age-appropriate 
neurocognitive assessments and laboratory analyses of plasma PEG levels, liver and kidney 
parameters).
No safety issues have been identified in the completed and ongoing clinical trials with N9-GP and 
the risk/benefit ratio for N9-GP is therefore expected to be favorable. For further information refer 
to the current version of the IB7.

Trial design
5.1
Type of trial
This is an open label, single-arm, multinational, non-controlled confirmatory trial investigating 
safety and efficacy of N9-GP in prophylaxis and treatment of breakthrough bleeding episodes in 
haemophilia B PUPs with FIX activity ≤ 2%.
The trial has one treatment arm in which at least 40 patients should achieve 100 exposure days of 40 
IU/kg N9-GP.
The trial consists of four parts: screening, main (i.e. core) phase, extension phase and a prophylaxis 
period until EOT, see Table 5-1.
EMA requires submission of safety and efficacy data from a minimum of 50 EDs in at least 20 
patients for approval of indication in PUPs, with a post-approval extension phase according to 
guideline to follow in at least 40 patients, for a minimum of 100 EDs. Sixty (60) patients are 
planned to enter screening.5 When minimum 20 patients have reached a minimum of 50 EDs the 
analysis and evaluation for the main report will be performed. All patients will continue in the 
extension phase for the purpose of acquiring data for a minimum of 100 EDs in at least 40 patients. 
Results from all patients, in all parts of the trial, will be reported in a final report when the last 
patient has completed the trial.
The trial design is based on the guideline on clinical investigation of recombinant and human 
plasma-derived factor IX products developed by CHMP in EU.5
For Japan only: The NN7999-3895 trial will be classified as a post-marketing clinical trial if 
obtaining marketing approval in Japan. Therefore, the term ‘chiken’, which is a term for a clinical 
trial conducted for getting marketing approval, is replaced in the protocol and other related 
materials/documents with the term ‘post-marketing clinical trial.’
5.2
Rationale for trial design
The trial is designed to investigate immunogenicity of N9-GP in PUPs who are known to have the 
highest risk of inhibitor formation.10 A minimum of 100 EDs will provide the required exposure to 
N9-GP in order to investigate the immunogenicity, safety other than immunogenicity and efficacy 
of N9-GP.
A multinational design has been chosen to ensure a sufficient screening pool of patients with this 
rare disorder, to meet local regulatory requirements and to reflect the anticipated patient population. 
There will be no randomisation or stratification.

5.3
Treatment of patients
The duration of a patient’s treatment with N9-GP in the main phase of the trial is until Visit 23 (50 
EDs) has been reached. 
The duration of N9-GP treatment in the extension phase is at least 50 EDs or until global LPLV 
(30-Oct-2022). Thereafter treatment with N9-GP will continue until LPLV. Trial overview will be 
as shown in Figure 5–1.
60 patients are planned to be screened and at least 40 patients are expected to complete the trial.
Figure 5–1
Patient flow chart 
The trial is designed to reflect common practice in haemophilia treatment centres. Most children 
will initially receive on-demand (episodic) treatment for minor skin/mucosa bleeding episodes, and 
after the first joint and/or muscle bleed, switch to prophylaxis in order to prevent bleeding episodes 
and musculoskeletal damage. This is usually done when the child is between 1 and 2 years of age. 
Prior to starting treatment at Visit 1, the family and investigator will choose between prophylaxis 
and pre-prophylaxis treatment. One exposure day is defined as each day when a patient is 
administered N9-GP for any reason regardless of number of doses.
5.3.1
Previous exposure to FIX products
Due to the rarity of the condition, recruitment for clinical trials of PUPs with severe or moderate 
Haemophilia B is highly challenging. According to EMA guidelines only PUPs are eligible for

participation. However, patients that are ‘minimally exposed’ (up to 3 EDs of commercial FIX) can 
enter this trial in agreement with PDCO at EMA. 
In addition to the above, maximum 5 previous blood product (e.g. plasma, cryoprecipitate, 
erythrocyte concentrate or platelets) EDs are allowed. 
5.3.2
Pre-prophylaxis treatment
If it is decided by the investigator and family not to initiate regular once weekly prophylaxis 
immediately after Visit 0, the patient can instead, until he is 24 months of age or until 20 ED, be 
treated on-demand for bleeding episodes and/or have a slow start-up of prophylaxis (i.e. pre-
prophylaxis) with a dose of 40 IU/kg at intervals longer than a week. 
The decision regarding pre-prophylaxis treatment will be made at visit 0. Pre-prophylaxis treatment 
will be administered as a dose of 40 IU/kg N9-GP (or 80 IU/kg for a severe bleed), see Section 
5.3.4.
Pre-prophylaxis treated patients will have regular contact with trial site at least every 12 weeks, if 
dosing with N9-GP is not planned and/or required, until initiation of prophylaxis.
5.3.3
Prophylaxis treatment
Regular prophylaxis must be initiated no later than 24 months of age or upon reaching 20 EDs 
whichever comes first, with a dose of 40 IU/kg N9-GP administered every 7th day (± 1 day).  
If considered relevant, the investigator is permitted to prescribe administration of extra N9-GP 
bleeding preventive doses before demanding physical activities (e.g. sports). The next regular 
prophylaxis dose should not be postponed but be administered on the usual dosing day.
5.3.4
Treatment of bleeding episodes
The patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) will be instructed by the trial site on how to treat a bleeding episode 
at home and record this in the eDiary, see Sections 8.1.12.1 , 8.6 and 8.6.1. 
In case of a treatment requiring bleeding episode, immediate treatment with N9-GP as intravenous 
injection of 40 IU/kg in case of mild or moderate bleeding or 80 IU/kg in case of a severe bleeding 
episode can be administered. The investigator must always be contacted in case of a severe bleeding 
episode. These doses can be repeated, but not exceeding 200 IU/kg per 24 hours Table 5-1.
An additional dose of 40 IU/kg for a mild/moderate bleeding episode is only allowed after 
consultation with the investigator. If a mild/moderate bleeding episode has not improved within 24 
hours, the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) should contact the investigator. 
For treatment of bleeding episodes prior to reaching the first 20 EDs please refer to Section 5.3.5.

5.3.5
Requirements for the first 20 injections
The risk of anaphylaxis and allergic reactions is evaluated as being highest during the first 20 EDs.8, 
10 For this reason it is a requirement in this protocol to administer the first 10 N9-GP injections at 
the trial site and it is recommended to administer at least the first 20 injections at the site. If the 
Investigator in accordance with local practice or guidelines decides to allow treatment outside the 
trial site prior to reaching 20 EDs this must be with a health care professional present that will be 
able to manage an anaphylactic reaction and could for example be at the emergency room, local 
paediatrician or at home, see Section 8.1.3.1.
5.3.6
Treatment of bleeding episodes in low titre inhibitor (<5 BU) patients 
Low titre inhibitor patients who do not respond sufficiently to N9-GP treatment may be treated with 
bypassing agents according to local label for a period of up to 2 years. It is recommended to avoid 
FIX containing bypassing agents. Bypassing agents are not considered trial medication. Patients
will stay in the trial and continue the N9-GP treatment 40 IU/kg once weekly.
5.3.7
Treatment of suspected severe bleeding episodes
In case of an abdominal or head trauma where there is a risk of a severe traumatic bleeding episode 
it is allowed to initiate treatment before clinical symptoms arise. This is defined as preventive 
treatment of suspected severe traumatic bleeding episode. The recommended dose is 80 IU/kg. The 
site must be contacted and the event documented either in the eDiary or in the eCRF as treatment of 
bleeding episode.
5.3.8
Surgery
Minor surgery
Minor surgeries (procedures where only one dose of N9-GP is considered sufficient prior to the 
surgery) can be performed while participating in this trial by administering a dose of 40 IU/kg N9-
GP, see Table 5-1. 
Definition of minor surgery
Minor surgery is defined as an invasive operative procedure where only the skin, the mucous 
membranes or superficial connective tissue is manipulated. For this trial, examples of minor surgery 
include:

Implanting and removing ports in subcutaneous tissue (see * in Table 5-1)

Skin excisions 

Drainage of abscess

Simple dental procedures

Circumcision 
Major surgery 
Major surgery may be performed after 20 EDs in the current trial. 
In a separate completed N9-GP surgery trial (NN7999-3773/paradigm™3) 13 adults and adolescent 
patients underwent major surgery where the haemostatic effect in all study participants was reported 
as either good or excellent and the N9-GP appeared to have a safe and well tolerated profile.
Major surgery in the current trial should be planned and conducted in accordance with the 
recommendations in the WFH Guidelines for the management of haemophilia.8 Determination of
dose and dose intervals to achieve adequate haemostasis should include close monitoring of FIX 
activity trough and peak levels, taken into consideration the half-life of N9-GP and ongoing clinical 
evaluation of the haemostatic effect.
Major surgery may be performed using general anaesthesia, spinal anaesthesia, epidural 
anaesthesia, conscious sedation, local anaesthesia or with a combination of these modalities. The 
used sedative products should be listed in the concomitant medication. 
Further details and requirements when performing major surgery are provided in Section 8.7.
Definition of major surgery
Major surgery is defined as any invasive operative procedure that require several days of FIX 
substitution therapy and/or where any one or more of the following occur: 

A body cavity is entered 

A mesenchymal barrier (eg pleura, peritoneum or dura mater) is crossed

A fascial plane is opened

An organ is removed

When normal anatomy is operatively altered

Major elective orthopaedic surgery
Treatment with N9-GP during surgery will be included in the overall count of N9-GP EDs. Upon 
completion of the surgical/invasive procedure the patient will continue prophylactic treatment with 
N9-GP as before the surgery.

5.3.9
Vaccinations
Vaccinations are allowed before entering the trial but should preferably not take place until 3 
months after the first N9-GP exposure, as vaccination activates the immune system, thereby
potentially increasing the risk of inhibitor development.
5.4
Treatment after end of trial
After trial end the investigator will agree with the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) upon the best available 
treatment for the patient. Novo Nordisk will not provide any trial product to a patient after the end 
of the trial unless required in accordance with local law or regulation.
When discontinuing the trial product the patient should be switched to a suitable marketed product 
at the discretion of the investigator.
It is expected that N9-GP will be granted marketing authorisation and is commercially available 
when the patients complete this trial. However, this cannot be guaranteed.

5.5
Rationale for treatment
Lack of compliance with a frequent injection schedule is one of the most commonly cited reasons 
for failure of prophylaxis with coagulation factor treatment6. The increased half-life of N9-GP will 
allow for prophylaxis with fewer injections than currently available products and will most likely 
result in improving compliance.
The dose levels for this trial are based on PK data from the phase 1 PK trial (NN7999-3639), PK 
data from 10 IU/kg and 40 IU/kg in the pivotal trial (NN7999-3747) and PK data from children 
participating in the paediatric trial (NN7999-3774).

Withdrawal criteria
The patient may withdraw at will at any time either by the patient or by the patient’s parent(s) or the 
patient’s LAR. The patient’s request to discontinue must always be respected.
The patient may be withdrawn from the trial at the discretion of the investigator due to a safety 
concern or if judged non-compliant with trial procedures.
The patient must be withdrawn if the following applies:
1. Dosed in the trial, but not fulfilling the inclusion and/or exclusion criteria
2. Development of FIX inhibitors ≥ 5 BU confirmed by two consecutive tests (central laboratory) 
and associated with N9-GP binding antibodies (the patient must be withdrawn from N9-GP 
treatment upon confirmation of FIX inhibitor ≥ 5 BU and attend three inhibitor follow-up visits) 
3. Anaphylactic reaction to the trial product, for definition see section 11.1
4. Major surgery prior to 20 EDs. see section 5.3.8
5. Significant thromboembolic event, see Section 11.1
6. Incapacity or unwillingness to follow trial procedures
7. Participation in another clinical trial while participating in this trial
If a patient experiences treatment failure where haemostatic response is rated as poor according to 
Section 8.6, the investigator should consider if it is in the patient’s best interest to continue in the 
trial.
All data collected prior to withdrawal will be used in the trial analyses.
Temporary or permanent discontinuation of treatment with trial product will not lead to withdrawal
from the trial.
6.4.1
Only applicable for Spain: Temporary discontinuation of trial treatment
Temporary treatment discontinuation is allowed at the discretion of the investigator and the reason
for discontinuation must be recorded in the eCRF. Treatment with trial product may be resumed if 
the circumstances later allow. Date and last trial product dose should be recorded in the eCRF. 
Resupply status in the IWRS should be put on hold when a patient is on treatment pause. The 
eDiary will not be used during temporary discontinuation of trial product.
6.5
Patient replacement
Withdrawn patients may be replaced to ensure that at least 40 patients complete the trial with a 
minimum of 100 ED.

6.6
Rationale for trial population
The selection of the trial population is based on the specific requirements found in the final 
guideline on the clinical investigation of recombinant and human plasma-derived factor IX 
products5 from the CHMP and in the Paediatric Investigation Plan (PIP) in agreement with the 
Paediatric Committee (PDCO).
Children are among those who might benefit significantly from prophylaxis. Less frequent 
injections with N9-GP as compared to other treatment options are likely to improve compliance, 
avoid interruptions of daily life and thereby increase the quality of life of the patients.
6.6.1
Rationale for inclusion criteria
Criterion no. 1 is included in accordance with International Conference on 
Harmonisation/Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP).
Criterion no. 2 is included due to Novo Nordisk A/S has decided to use an age cut-off 
of 6 years.
Criterion no. 3 is included to select the patient group based on the CHMP guideline5.
Criterion no. 4 is included to select the patient group based on the CHMP guideline 
and in accordance with recent PIP modification allowing inclusion of minimally 
treated patients.

Rationale for exclusion criteria
Criteria nos. 1 and 5 are included to prevent unnecessary exposure of potentially 
fragile patients to a new compound.
Criterion no. 2 is included to ensure that a patient only counts once in the data 
analyses.
Criterion no. 3 is included to minimise any effect of external compounds on the 
patient's coagulation and immune system. 
Criterion no. 4 is chosen to exclude patients with endogenous abnormalities of the 
coagulation system, other than haemophilia B.
Criterion no. 6 is included to ensure enrolment of patients likely to be compliant with 
the protocol, and to preclude enrolment of particularly vulnerable patients.
Criterion no. 7 is included to exclude patients with FIX inhibitors since inhibitor 
development is the primary safety endpoint of the trial.
6.6.3
Rationale for withdrawal criteria
Criteria nos. 1-7 are included to protect the patient's safety and reliability of the data.

Milestones
Planned duration of recruitment period: First patient first visit (FPFV) to last patient first visit 
(LPFV): 75 months 
First Patient First Visit:  02-Jul-2014
Planned Last Patient First Visit: 30-Sep-2020
End of trial is defined as Last Patient Last Visit: 30-Oct-2022
The duration of N9-GP treatment in the trial is a minimum of 100 EDs for at least 40 patients and 
will continue until Last Patient Last Visit for the trial, which will be 30 October 2022. 
Planned completion of clinical trial report (CTR): Q2 2023
Recruitment
The screening rate will be followed closely via the interactive web response system (IWRS) in 
order to estimate when to stop screening. All investigators will be notified immediately when the 
recruitment period ends, after which no further consent will be sought from additional families and 
the IWRS will be closed for further screening, unless additional screening is needed due to patient 
replacement.
All subjects included in the screening period and eligible for the trial will enter the trial. 
Trial registration
Information of the trial will be disclosed at clinicaltrials.gov, novonordisk-trials.com and 
clinicaltrials.jp. According to the Novo Nordisk Code of Conduct for Clinical Trial Disclosure, it 
will also be disclosed according to other requirements such as those of the International Committee 
of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE)11, the Food and Drug Administration Amendment Act 
(FDAAA)12, European Commission Requirements13 and other relevant recommendations or 
regulations. If a patient requests to be included in the trial via the Novo Nordisk e-mail contact at 
these web sites, Novo Nordisk may disclose the investigator’s contact details to the patient. As a 
result of increasing requirements for transparency, some countries require public disclosure of 
investigator names and their affiliations.

Methods and assessments
8.1
Visit procedures
Specific procedures, assessments and methods for the scheduled visits are described in the section 
below, and the list of assessments for each visit is presented in the flow chart, see Table 2–1 and 
visit flow diagram Table 8-1.
Figure 8–1
Visit flow diagram 
Screening and enrolment log
The investigator must keep a patient screening log, a patient identification code list and a patient 
enrolment log. The patient screening log and patient enrolment log may be combined in one list.
At screening, patients will be provided with a trial card stating that they are participating in a trial 
and given contact address(es) and telephone number(s) of relevant trial site staff. Patient’s
parent(s)/LAR(s) should be instructed to return the trial card to the investigator at the last trial visit 
or to destroy the trial card after the last visit.
It must be stated in the medical records that the patient is participating in the trial, including the 
patient number.

Informed consent procedure
The patient’s parent(s) / LAR(s) will be provided with full written and verbal information about the 
trial prior to conduct of any trial-related procedures/activities, in accordance with GCP and local 
requirements, see Section 17.1. 
A child assent form will be provided to patients above 3 years of age according to local 
requirements. This can be performed on a separate day. As this is a long term trial the investigator
should check the progressing maturation of the child and its ability to assent throughout the trial.
Informed consent including haemophilia B mutation genotyping at screening must be obtained. 
Screening failures
Screening failures are defined as patients for whom the parent(s)/LAR(s) have signed the Informed 
Consent Form but fail to comply with the inclusion and/or exclusion criteria or if the consent is 
withdrawn prior to dosing. 
For screening failures, the screening failure form in the electronic case report form (eCRF) must be 
completed with the reason for not continuing in the trial.
Serious and non-serious adverse events (AE) from screening failures must be transcribed by the 
investigator into the case report form (eCRF). Follow-up of SAEs must be carried out according to 
Section 11.3. A screening failure session must be made in the IWRS. The case book must be signed.
Re-screening is not allowed after the first dose of trial product – see excl. criteria no. 2 in Section 
6.3.
For withdrawn patients
Withdrawn patients are defined as patients who meet the withdrawal criteria after dosing, see 
Section 6.4
If a patient is withdrawn from the trial, the investigator must aim to perform the end of trial visit, as 
soon as possible except for patients with a high titre inhibitor.
The end of trial form must be completed, and final drug accountability must be performed even if 
the patient is not able to come to the trial site. A withdrawal session must be made in the IWRS and 
the case book must be signed. 
All data collected in the period the patient participated in the trial must be documented.
Although a patient or patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) is not obliged to give his/her reason(s) for 
withdrawing from a trial, the investigator must make a reasonable effort to ascertain the reason(s),

while fully respecting the patient’s rights. Where the reasons are obtained, the primary reason(s) for 
discontinuation must be specified on the end-of-trial form in the eCRF e.g.:

Adverse events (AEs)

Protocol violation

Lack of efficacy

Lost to follow up

Withdrawal by patient or parent(s)/LAR(s) 

Technical problems

Other
End of trial 
The end of trial (EOT) form should be filled in at the End-of-Trial visit or the last visit of the 
patient. If a patient is withdrawn prior to completion of the trial, all attempts must be made to 
schedule the end of trial visit for the patient. 
For a patient with high titre inhibitor the EOT visit should be performed in connection with the third 
follow-up visit. 
In general
Review of eDiary reports, laboratory reports etc. must be documented either on the front page of the 
documents and/or in the patient’s medical record. 
In accordance with local law a caregiver may take over the responsibilities from the 
parent(s)/LAR(s) of handling and administrating the trial drug, filling in the eDiary and attending 
visits at site. The caregiver must be trained to the same extent as the parent(s)/LAR(s) in the 
relevant responsibilities. 
Prior to a visit the investigator must request the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) to return any trial 
medication , solvent or injection kits if this would expire during the following home treatment 
period. The patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) must also be instructed in never using any expired trial 
materials.
Any corrections made by the investigator to the eDiary entries must be discussed with the patient’s 
parent(s)/LAR(s) and the conclusion documented in the medical record. Care must be taken not to 
bias the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s).
8.1.1
Visit 0 – screening visit
The patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) must give signed and dated informed consent prior to any trial 
related activities. Signing of the informed consent can take place before visit 0, if allowed by local

law. All patients will be provided with a copy on the patient information and a copy of the signed 
and dated Informed Consent Form.
For all patients with a signed Informed Consent/Assent form, the patient will be assigned a unique 6 
digits patient number, which will follow the patient throughout the trial.
A screening period (interval between visit 0 (V0) and V1) is allowed until the first dose of N9-GP is 
required. 
The screening visit (V0) can be combined with the first treatment of N9-GP (V1), hereby allowing 
patients to be enrolled in the trial and treated for their first bleeding episode immediately after 
having confirmed inclusion and exclusion criteria.
All results necessary for evaluating the inclusion and exclusion criteria must be available before 
determining whether or not the patient can continue in the trial and whether it will be possible to 
receive the first dose of N9-GP at the same day.
If the screening results do not become available during the screening visit, and if the next visit is not 
planned, the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) must be informed when eligibility has been evaluated by the 
investigator.
Assessments for V0 are listed in Table 2–1.
Reminders:

Dispense trial card, see Section 8.8.1

Screening call in the IWRS, see Section 10

Discuss treatment regimen: prophylaxis versus pre-prophylaxis

In case V1 is not planned or performed within 3 month from visit 0 the investigator must 
contact the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) at least every 12 weeks ± 1 week, See Sections 8.8.4 and 
8.1.10.

During the screening period the patient cannot be treated with commercially available FIX 
product
8.1.1.1
Pre-prophylaxis treatment
Pre-prophylaxis is optional and is the period before start of regular prophylaxis. The pre-
prophylaxis period stops when the patient has reached 20 EDs or has turned 24 months of age, 
whatever comes first.
During pre-prophylaxis the following dosing regimens applies: 

dosing with 40 IU/kg N9-GP

individualised prophylaxis dosing intervals but less frequent than once weekly

on-demand treatment of bleeding episodes

minor surgery
See further Section 5.3.2 and 5.3.8.
Dosing visits during the pre-prophylaxis period can be performed at any time until ED 20. Visits 
during the pre-prophylaxis period without dosing should be performed as unscheduled visits, see 
Section 8.1.10. 
The site must make sure that the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) are contacted at least every 12 weeks ± 
1 week if no further visit is planned, Section 8.8.4. 
Visit 1-20 occurs when the patient needs treatment of a bleed and /or is planned individually per 
patient at the investigator and patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) discretion.
8.1.1.2
Prophylaxis treatment
Prophylaxis treatment can begin at visit 1 or at any time during the pre-prophylaxis period and must 
be initiated latest when the patient has reached 20 EDs on pre-prophylaxis or has turned 24 months 
of age, whatever comes first.
The dosing frequency is once weekly ±1 day (preferable the same day of the week).
For patients that enter the prophylaxis treatment after a period of pre-prophylaxis the next visit in 
the sequence will be determined by the numbers of EDs. 
8.1.2
Visit 1 – first dosing with N9-GP
Visit 1 will take place after the screening visit (V0) whenever the first treatment of N9-GP is 
administered, if not already combined with V0.
Before administrating the first dose of N9-GP the FIX inhibitor test for central laboratory must be 
taken and sent to central laboratory for analysis. In case of subjective signs of illness and/or fever 
within 48 hours prior to the first injection of N9-GP the dose should be postponed, if possible.
The patient will continue treatment on either:

Pre-prophylaxis treatment. See Sections 5.3.2 and 8.1.1.1.

Prophylaxis treatment. See Sections 5.3.3 and 8.1.1.2.
Assessments for V1 are listed in Table 2–1. In case V0 and V1 have been combined into one visit, 
assessments should only be performed once, but recorded at both visits in the eCRF.

Body measurements

Height will be collected at visits according to Table 2–1. For patients who have already attended 
visit 23 and/or visit 28 height at these visits ± 1 month will be collected retrospectively if 
available in medical records upon parent(s)/LAR(s) consent

Body weight, wearing light clothing only
Body weight should be measured in connection with regularly visits where trial drug is dispensed. 
For practical purposes when dispensing trial drug the body weight from an earlier measurement (or 
visit) can be used if the measurement was performed within the previous 12 weeks (in children < 3 
years of age, within 6 weeks). After visit 29, a body weight measured within the previous 12 weeks 
for all age groups can be used. If new body weight is not needed to be measured at a visit, the body 
weight from last weighing should be used.

8.3.4
Vital signs
When dosing the first time (V1), vital signs should be recorded pre-dose and post-dosing of N9-GP. 
Hereafter vital signs will only be measured pre-dose and according to Table 2–1.
Before measurement of vital signs the patient should preferably rest comfortably for at least 
three minutes and all measurements should, if possible, be performed using the same method and 
position (e.g. sitting) throughout the trial for each individual patient. 
Vitals signs include assessment of:
Body temperature (C/F)
Blood pressure (BP) (mm Hg)
Pulse (beats/min)
If not possible to perform some or all of the above measurements, it is allowed to evaluate the child 
for normal appearance checking for signs and symptoms of acute or chronic disease.
If a change in clinical assessments after V0 is due to an AE, then this must be recorded and reported 
according to Section 11.2.
8.4
Laboratory assessments
Blood samples for laboratory analysis of safety, and efficacy parameters will be drawn as outlined 
in Table 2–1. Approximate total volumes of blood to be taken from each patient see Section 8.4.3.
The sample taken 30 minutes (±10 minutes) post-dose can be taken from the same vein as used for 
administration of N9-GP if more than 30 minutes have passed after the injection. The same device 
used for trial drug injection cannot be used for blood draw post-dose.
Laboratory results being out of normal range must be categorised as “out of normal range, not 
clinically significant” or “out of normal range, clinically significant”. A laboratory result evaluated 
as “out of normal range, clinically significant” must be recorded as an AE, or if present at V0 it 
should be recorded as concomitant illness.
The central laboratories provide results to the trial site in the units preferred by the trial sites while 
the results that are transferred to the trial database will always be in SI units.
The laboratory equipment may provide analyses not requested in the protocol but produced 
automatically in connection with the requested analyses according to specifications in the laboratory 
standard operating procedures. Such data will not be transferred to the eCRF or the trial database, 
but abnormal values must be reported to the investigator. 
The investigator must review all laboratory results for concomitant illnesses and AEs and report 
these according to this protocol.

8.4.1
Local laboratory assessments 
The trial site must be able to analyse for FIX activity and inhibitors locally if needed to decide on 
the appropriate medical care. Results of any analyses performed locally will not be recorded in the 
eCRF except for results at Visit 0.
Local laboratory results are considered as source data and must be signed, dated and categorised by 
the investigator. 
Storage handling, and disposition of samples analysed at local laboratories will be performed 
according to local laboratory procedures.
8.4.1.1
FIX activity

FIX activity (% or IU/mL)
If V0 and V1 are combined, as one combined screening visit, and if FIX activity ≤ 2% has not been 
documented in the patient medical records, it should be analysed locally and documented in the 
patient medical records.
FIX activity can be measured using a one-stage clotting or a chromogenic assay. If an aPTT based 
one-stage clotting assay is used it should be calibrated with a N9-GP reference standard. 
The reference standard will be provided by Novo Nordisk together with a description of how to 
handle, store and use. The site must ensure that the reference standard has not expired and order 
new when relevant.
Dependent on the type of aPTT reagent used by the local laboratory an exemption from this 
requirement of using the N9-GP reference standard can be made, in such cases Novo Nordisk will 
need to approve the suggested assay set-up on an individual basis. For approval of aPTT reagents in 
the one-stage clotting assay the investigator must contact Novo Nordisk.
FIX activity may also be measured with a chromogenic assay if available at the local laboratory. In 
such cases the N9-GP reference standard is not needed.
8.4.2
Central laboratory assessments 
Central laboratory will throughout the protocol cover both the central laboratory as well as 
specialised laboratory analysing samples for all sites. The central laboratory will analyse and report 
all laboratory data to Novo Nordisk A/S electronically in a manner that anonymity of patients will 
be maintained. The central laboratory results will be reported to the investigator. 
The quality control of the central laboratory test results will be performed according to the 
regulations and specifications set by the authorities at the location of the central laboratory used for 
this trial.

A detailed description of procedures for sampling, handling, shipment of laboratory samples and all 
materials such as test tubes and labels will be provided in the laboratory manual by the central 
laboratory. The central laboratory manual and the central laboratory results will include the 
reference ranges.
8.4.2.1
FIX activity
The analysis of plasma FIX activity will be performed at a laboratory selected by Novo Nordisk 
A/S or at a Novo Nordisk laboratory. The procedures for analyses will follow the recommendations 
provided by Novo Nordisk A/S. A description of the method will be included in the final report of 
this trial.
FIX activity samples should be taken according to Table 2–1.
FIX activity will be measured by the use of the FIX one-stage clotting assay.
Until the implementation of Amendment 6 to the protocol any surplus samples were analysed for 
FIX activity using the chromogenic assay if deemed relevant.
One-stage clotting assay
The FIX one-stage clotting assay is a modified activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) assay.
The one-stage assay measures the activity of the compound in a specific process (clot formation).
8.4.2.2
Antibody assessments
The analysis will be performed at a laboratory selected by Novo Nordisk A/S or at a Novo Nordisk 
laboratory. The procedures for analyses will follow the recommendations provided by Novo 
Nordisk A/S. A description of the method will be included in the final report of this trial.
Plasma samples will be collected for assessment of:

N9-GP binding antibodies 

FIX inhibitors

HCP antibodies
Antibody samples should be taken according to Table 2–1.
N9-GP binding antibodies 
Screening for antibodies is based on assays that are validated according to international recognised 
guidelines.14-16 Samples measured above the assay cut-point will be subject to a confirmation test. 
Samples positive in the confirmatory test will be characterised for specificity to N9-GP, rFIX, and 
PEG. Isotyping of the anti-drug antibodies will possibly also be performed.

investigators at the end of the trial, or when considered relevant. A positive binding antibody 
sample will not by itself call for any action, but will be part of the continuous evaluation by sponsor 
of patient safety and treatment efficacy. In case of clinical suspicion of reduced treatment efficacy, 
an unscheduled visit must be scheduled by the investigator for measurement of FIX inhibitors, N9-
GP binding antibodies and peak/trough FIX activity respectively.
FIX inhibitors 
A FIX inhibitor test is defined as positive if the titre is ≥0.6 BU. 
A patient has inhibitory antibodies (inhibitor) if tested positive for inhibitors (≥0.6 BU) at two 
consecutive tests performed at the central laboratory and also tested positive for N9-GP binding 
antibodies.
If the result of an inhibitor test is positive, a second confirmatory inhibitor test should be performed 
by the central laboratory (except for the visit 1 sample that will not need to be confirmed). The 
confirmatory samples should be collected between 1 and 4 weeks after the first positive inhibitor 
test, but no sooner than 7 days after the last dose of N9-GP. Sampling for assessments of FIX 
activity (trough and recovery), N9-GP binding antibodies and lupus anticoagulant must also be 
performed at the same time. 
If the result from the lupus anticoagulant test is positive and N9-GP binding antibody test is 
negative the patient is considered inhibitor negative and can continue in the trial. If the result from 
the lupus anticoagulant test is positive and N9-GP binding antibody test is positive the patient is 
considered inhibitor positive.
The confirmatory test will define the level of inhibitors. Inhibitors will be considered as low titre 
between 0.6 BU and <5 BU and high titre ≥ 5 BU.
If a patient has a confirmed high titre inhibitor N9-GP treatment must be stopped and inhibitor 
follow-up visits must be planned, see Section 8.1.11.
If FIX inhibitor development is suspected during the course of the trial due to for instance increased 
number of bleeding episodes, bleeding episodes difficult to treat, recovery and trough levels below 
expected values or a positive local inhibitor test, the patient must attend an unscheduled visit as 
soon as possible and a plasma sample must be shipped to a central laboratory for inhibitor analysis.
If an investigator decides to perform inhibitor testing locally, he/she must send a duplicate sample 
for inhibitor testing at a central laboratory. The results from the central laboratory will be used in 
the analysis of trial data. A positive inhibitor test must always be reported as a MESI irrespective of 
the test being performed locally or at the central laboratory (refer to Section 11.2, 11.1).

Assessment for FIX inhibitors will be carried out using a heat modified Nijmegen FIX Bethesda 
assay analysed at a central laboratory. The assay is validated according to international recognised 
guidelines.14, 17 The assay is based on measurement of the ability of a plasma sample to inhibit FIX 
in normal plasma.
PK session (conditional) 
In the event of a concern about reduced treatment efficacy it is strongly recommended to perform an 
unscheduled visit where pre-dose and 30 min post-dose FIX activity (through and peak) and binding 
antibodies will be assessed. In case of development of binding antibodies a PK session is 
recommended to be performed with a dose of 40 IU/kg. The PK session will help to address the 
impact on the efficacy of the N9-GP treatment. 
Novo Nordisk can decide based on bleedings, N9-GP usage and the PK profile to call for a safety 
committee meeting regarding recommendation on the trial continuation of the patient and how the 
patient should be followed if recommended to continue in the trial. The investigator will be 
informed of the recommendation from the safety committee.
The suggested time-points for blood sampling for a PK profile session are: pre-dose (within 1 hour 
prior to dosing), 30 min (± 10 min), 24 h (± 8 h), 48 h (± 8 h). Optional time-points are 72 h (± 8 h) 
and 96 h (± 8 h).
HCP antibodies 
All patients will be assessed for the development of antibodies against Chinese hamster ovary host 
cell proteins (HCP). Screening for Chinese hamster ovary HCP antibodies is based on assays that 
are validated according to international recognised guidelines.14-16 Samples measured above the 
assay cut-point will be subject to a confirmation test, where the signal will be sought inhibited with 
excess HCP antigen. The samples will be analysed at a laboratory selected by Novo Nordisk A/S or 
at a Novo Nordisk laboratory.
HCP antibodies will be taken according to Table 2–1. Samples will be analysed at the end of the 
trial, or when confirmed relevant by Novo Nordisk.
8.4.2.3
HIV testing and CD4+ lymphocyte count 
All patients will be assessed for HIV at visit 0, if status is unknown, or if HIV negative results in 
medical record are older than 6 months. Sampling can be postponed to the earliest convenient visit 
to ensure that the allowed blood volume is not exceeded.
Tests for CD4+ lymphocyte count and HIV viral load are only required for HIV positive patients. 
HIV positive patients should have CD4+ lymphocytes >200/µL and the HIV viral load <400,000

F9 and HLA genotype testing
At Visit 0, all patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) will be asked about documentation of previous F9 and 
Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) genotype tests and results should be recorded in the eCRF, if 
available. If not available or if it needs to be re-tested, based on the investigators discretion, F9 and 
HLA genotype sample should be taken prior to administrating the first dose of N9-GP or as soon as 
possible taking the limitation of the allowed blood sampling volume into account. The F9 and HLA
genotype analysis will be performed at a laboratory selected by Novo Nordisk A/S. No analysis will 
be performed concerning other genes than F9 and HLA. Samples will be disposed appropriately 
after the test and all test results are kept confidential.
Only applicable for Israel: The parent(s)/LAR(s)/caregiver of withdrawn trial patients enrolled 
under protocol version 1, dated 4 November 2013, will be approached for consent to obtaining the 
F9 genotype, if already available. 
8.4.2.7
Investigation of allergic reactions
Allergic reaction testing will only be performed in patients developing a severe allergic reaction 
which by the investigator is assessed to be related to the N9-GP treatment. The baseline sample 
taken at Visit 0 or Visit 1 pre-dose will only be analysed in this case and further blood samples 
should be taken at an unscheduled visit as soon as convenient, but no later than 2 months after the 
event. The allergic reaction assessments will be performed at a laboratory selected by Novo Nordisk 
A/S or at a Novo Nordisk laboratory.

8.4.3
Blood sampling in infants and children
The blood sampling volume for the patient must not exceed 1% of the total blood volume at one 
occasion or 3% within in 28 days. This is in accordance with European regulatory guidelines 
(Directive 2001/20/EC).18
If all samples are taken the total volume of blood to be collected for each patient per visit will not 
exceed 18 mL.
Detailed instructions will be provided to the trial sites regarding blood sampling volumes and 
prioritisation of samples. If trial sites as part of routine assessments perform additional blood draws, 
they must ensure that the blood sampling volume will not exceed the above requirements.
It is recommended not to attempt venepuncture more than 3 times for the purpose of obtaining 
sufficient blood sampling. Documentation must be available in medical records. The vein used for 
trial drug injection cannot be used for blood sampling until more than 30 minutes have passed after 
the injection. The same device used for trial drug injection cannot be used for blood draw post-dose.
Port-a-caths and other central venous access devices should preferably not be used for blood 
sampling due to a risk of dilution or contamination with drugs (e.g. heparin). Should it be necessary 
to use such a device, it should preferably have been locked with saline prior to use. 
Only applicable for Portugal: For venous punctures, pain control measures are allowed according 
to local practice.
8.4.4
Storage of samples
Storage and disposition of samples analysed at local laboratories will be performed according to 
local laboratory procedures. 
All remaining blood samples stored at the central laboratory will be destroyed after finalisation of 
the CTR, except for samples for antibody assessment and other biospecimens (see Section 23.2).
Antibody samples (samples for binding antibodies and inhibitors) will be stored until drug approval 
by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or European Medicines Agency (EMA). The retained 
antibody samples may be used for further characterisation for antibody responses towards trial drug 
if required by health authorities or for safety reasons, see Section 23.2.
8.5
N9-GP administration
N9-GP will be administered while the patient is in a comfortable position and according to Table 
5-1.

The first 20 EDs with N9-GP should be administered at the trial site. It is however possible to 
administer EDs 11-20 outside trial site if this is according with local procedures and must be under 
supervision of a health care professional qualified of handling anaphylactic reactions. 
Precautions to take when injecting the first dose of N9-GP (V1)

The patient has to be observed for 60 minutes in a hospital setting after N9-GP has been fully 
administered, with the line used left in place, if possible

The first 0.5 mL of N9-GP should be administered slowly (for the duration of 1 minute), while 
the remaining N9-GP volume should be administered over a period of at least 2 minutes. The 
patient is to be observed closely during this administration, and the injection should be stopped 
immediately if any signs of allergic or anaphylactic reactions appear

The date and the actual time of completion of the injection must be recorded in the eCRF
Precautions to take when injecting the second dose of N9-GP (V2)
The patient has to be observed for 60 minutes in a hospital setting after N9-GP has been fully 
administered, with the line used left in place, if possible

The dose of N9-GP should be administered as an i.v. bolus injection (maximum 4 mL/min). The 
patient is to be observed closely during this administration, and the injection should be stopped 
immediately if any signs of allergic or anaphylactic reactions appear 

The date and the actual time of completion of the injection must be recorded in the eCRF
Precautions to take when injecting ED 3-20 of N9-GP (V3-V20) at trial site

Home treatment may be given by the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) or a home nurse, as applicable
The injection should be performed as an i.v. bolus injection (maximum 4 mL/min). The date and 
the actual time of completion of the injection must be recorded in the patient’s eDiary
All treatment requiring bleeding episodes should be treated and registered independently of the 
on-going prophylaxis treatment regime
If a bleeding episode occurs earlier at the same day as the planned prophylaxis, the dose should 
be registered for the bleeding episode and not as prophylaxis and the planned prophylaxis dose 
later same day should be omitted
When a prophylaxis dose has been taken and a bleeding episode occurs later the same day, the 
bleeding episode should be treated and registered independent of the prophylaxis dose.
8.6
Bleeding episodes
All bleeding episodes and treatments with N9-GP must be recorded in the eCRF by the investigator
or in the eDiary by the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s). Bleeding episodes and other symptoms (eg 
synovitis, arthralgia, injection site haematoma) in connection with bleeding episodes should not be 
reported as AEs/SAEs unless the event is fatal, life-threatening or evaluated by the investigator as 
related to trial product or trial procedure. In case of life-threatening bleeding episode, it should 
always be reported as a SAE.  
8.6.1
Assessments of bleeding episodes and treatment response
The severity of bleeding episodes is defined as

Mild/moderate: Bleeding episodes that are uncomplicated joint bleeding episodes, muscular 
bleeding episodes without compartment syndrome, mucosal- or subcutaneous bleeding 
episodes. These bleeding episodes can be treated at home after visit 20 and details of the 
bleeding episodes should be entered in the eDiary by the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s).

Severe: All intracranial, retroperitoneal, iliopsoas and neck bleeding episodes must be 
categorised as severe. Muscle bleeding episodes with compartment syndrome and/or bleeding 
episodes associated with a significant decrease in the haemoglobin level (>3g/dl) should also be 
reported as severe (it is the investigators decision if haemoglobin measurements should be 
performed). The investigator must be contacted if a severe bleeding episode occurs.
In case of treatment requiring bleeding episode occurs outside the trial site’s opening hours and 
prior to home treatment or treatment outside trial site (Section 5.3.5) has been initiated, the patient 
must be treated according to local procedure.
Bleeding Episode - information to be collected
Information about bleeding episodes prior to the 20 ED (V20) should always be recorded in eCRF. 
In case the patient is treated outside the trial site the trial site should be informed in case of a 
bleeding episode and the details hereof. After 20 EDs bleeding episodes must be recorded either in 
the eDiary (if treated at home) or in the eCRF (if treated at the trial site), see Section 12.3.

bleeding episode at the same or a subset of the same anatomical locations
If a bleeding episode occurs in the same location later than 72 hours after stopping the treatment it 
is considered as a new bleeding episode
8.7
Surgery
Before any surgery is performed blood samples for assessment of FIX inhibitors must be taken and 
send to central lab unless samples has already been sent to central lab within the last 30 days. The 
results do not have to be available before the surgery.
Emergency surgeries are allowed in this trial if adequate supply of N9-GP is available at site to 
ensure haemostasis and wound healing.
Patients undergoing surgery will continue the regular visit schedule, but additional visits may be 
performed in the peri-operative period as decided by the investigator. Surgery will be documented 
as unscheduled visits. It is up to the investigator to decide how long the post-surgery period should 
be and when the patient should resume regular prophylaxis or pre-prophylaxis treatment. All N9-GP 
doses administered in relation to a surgery must be registered on the surgery form in the eCRF or 
eDiary.

8.7.1
Minor surgery
Preventive N9-GP treatment before minor surgery including placement or removal of central 
venous access port can be performed within this trial at the investigator’s discretion according to 
local guidelines. A dose of 40 IU/kg N9-GP prior to minor surgery is recommended to prevent 
perioperative bleeding episodes, see Table 5-1. Definition of minor surgery, see Section 5.3.8. For 
minor surgery the following should be recorded in the eCRF:

Date, time and volume of preventive dose before surgery

Type of surgery

Indication for surgery 

Location of surgery 

Date of surgery

Start and stop date and time of surgery
8.7.2
Major surgery
Major surgery can be performed while participating in the present trial. For definition of major 
surgery, see Section 5.3.8. Novo Nordisk must be contacted in due time prior to surgery, to ensure 
sufficient supply of N9-GP.
N9-GP dosing prior to, during and after surgery should aim at FIX activity levels as defined and 
recommended in the WFH Guidelines for the management of haemophilia.8 The preoperative N9-
GP dose should aim at FIX activity level of approximately 100% which is expected to be achieved 
with dose of 40 or 80 IU/kg of N9-GP. Trough and peak levels, and incremental recovery of the 
particular patient must be taken into consideration by the Investigator when deciding the dose.
During the post-operative phase, clinical haemostatic response combined with close FIX activity 
monitoring is recommended to determine appropriate intervals for postoperative dosing of 40 IU/kg 
N9-GP. The dose interval should be adjusted in order to reach postoperative FIX activity levels as 
recommended by the WFH Guidelines for the management of haemophilia.8
It is the responsibility of the Investigator to determine when the patient must stop the weekly 
prophylaxis administrations of N9-GP prior to the surgery and when these should be resumed after 
the surgery. If the patient has not resumed weekly prophylaxis within 6 days from the day of 
surgery the reason must be documented. The first weekly prophylaxis dose after surgery should be 
omitted if it falls on the same day (± 1day) as the last postoperative dose. The following must be 
documented:

Date and time the patient stops the weekly prophylaxis with 40 IU/kg N9-GP prior to the 
surgery

Date and time the patient resumes the weekly prophylaxis with 40 IU/kg N9-GP after the post-
surgery period

Training in reconstitution and administration must be performed until parent(s)/LAR(s) feel 
comfortable in handling the treatment. The training must be documented in the medical records.
All patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) must be carefully instructed in recognising and dealing with signs 
and symptoms of an anaphylactic reaction. If the patient does not follow the planned dosing 
schedule, the investigator must retrain the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s).
8.8.3
Electronic diary (eDiary)
Pre-prophylaxis treatment, prophylaxis treatment and bleeding episodes should be recorded in 
eCRF for the first 20 EDs. When the first 20 EDs have been administered, the data will be captured
either in eCRF and/or eDiary according to Section 12.3.
Parent(s)/LAR(s) should be trained in using the eDiary before or when they receive the eDiary. If 
needed the training must be repeated until the parent(s)/LAR(s) use the eDiary as intended.
It will be the responsibility of the investigator to assess the eDiary data throughout the conduct of 
the trial and to ensure entry compliance.
During the home treatment period the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) should ensure that all prophylactic 
home treatment, bleeding episodes, treatment of bleeding episodes as well as haemostatic 
evaluation of the treatment of bleeding episodes are captured in the eDiary.
8.8.3.1
eDiary dispensing and collection
The eDiary will be dispensed to the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) latest at the visit when home 
treatment is started.
For details regarding patient’s diary, please refer to Section 12.3.
For patients completing the trial or in case of withdrawal, the eDiary will be collected at the EOT 
visit.
8.8.4
Contact between the investigator/medically qualified person and the patient
The investigator and/or medically qualified person must establish contact with the patient’s 
parent(s)/LAR(s) at least every 12 weeks ± 1 week, if site visits are more than 3 months apart, either 
by visits at the trial site or other contact e.g. telephone calls. All trial related contacts must be 
captured in eCRF.
The patient and patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) should be notified that they will be contacted according 
to the protocol. 
The communication will focus on the well-being of the patient, including enquiry of all AEs, and 
any medical treatment (including treatment of bleeding episodes) since the last contact. The

investigator/medically qualified person should not suggest specific AEs to patient’s 
parent(s)/LAR(s), but should inquire e.g. “how is your child doing?”, “has your child had any 
problems since the last contact?” and “have you remembered to enter all treatments in the eDiary?”
The expiration date of the drug and solvent that the patient has received should be checked by the 
site staff before the patient’s next visit to determine if an extra visit is relevant and to inform the 
patient of which unused vials to return to the site. Expiry of injection kits should be discussed.
All attempts to contact the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) must be documented in a source document. If 
a successful contact cannot be made after 3 documented attempts no further attempts are required. If 
the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) have withdrawn consent, this must be documented.
At each contact the investigator will at a minimum capture/evaluate

Adverse events 
Concomitant Medication 
eDiary compliance
N9-GP administration compliance
8.8.5
Interactive web response system
Please refer to Section 10 regarding the IWRS. 
For details on how to use the IWRS, please refer to the trial specific IWRS user documents 
provided to the trial site. 
8.9
Patient compliance
Throughout the trial the investigator will remind the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) to follow the trial 
procedures and requirements to ensure patient compliance. If a patient is found to be non-compliant, 
the investigator will remind the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) of the importance of following the 
instructions given including taking the trial product as described. 
Assessment of patient compliance with protocol procedures for determination of continuation of the 
trial will be done by the investigator. 
Failure to comply with scheduled visits and N9-GP administration may result in withdrawal in 
accordance with the protocol withdrawal criteria, see Section 6.4.
Treatment with FIX concentrate, other than N9-GP, during the trial is not allowed and violation of 
this may lead to withdrawal due to non-compliance (please refer to Section 8.2.4). Regarding by-
passing agent, see Section 8.2.3.

The trial product N9-GP powder and Histidine solvent must be stored in a secure place at trial site. 
For N9-GP under refrigeration at 2-8°C, and for Histidine solvent at 2-25°C, both protected from
light and are hereby stable until the expiry date given. It is recommended to use the reconstituted 
N9-GP immediately following reconstitution. If not used immediately, the reconstituted product can 
be stored in the vial for up to 4 hours below 30°C. Exposure to direct sunlight as well as freezing 
must be avoided after reconstitution. As for other parenteral preparations, the product should be 
inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration and discarded if 
either is present. ‘In use time’ starts from completion of the reconstitution, see the Handling 
instruction for further details. The trial site must carefully instruct the patients’ parent(s)/LAR(s) in 
how to store the trial product. No temperature monitoring is required after the trial product is taken 
home by the patient.
The investigator must ensure the availability of proper storage conditions, record and evaluate the 
temperature. The investigator must inform Novo Nordisk immediately if any trial product has been 
stored outside specified conditions (e.g. outside temperature range).
Unused trial product must be stored separately from used trial product.
Trial product that has been stored improperly must not be dispensed to any patient before it has 
been re-evaluated and approved for further use by Novo Nordisk. The investigator must take 
appropriate action to ensure correct storage.

9.4
Drug accountability and destruction
Drug accountability is the responsibility of the investigator. The investigator or delegated person, 
e.g., a trial nurse will perform drug accountability in the IWRS Drug Accountability Module. 
Once a patient is dosed, all trial drug product vials (dispensed, used, partly used or unused, returned 
and lost/damaged) must be recorded in the IWRS Drug Accountability Module. 
Drug accountability is not required for Histidine solvent used for reconstitutions, but it is the 
responsibility of the investigator or delegate to follow Histidine expiry and prevent patient use after 
expiry.
Returned trial product (used/partly used or unused including empty packaging material) can be 
stored at room temperature and must be stored separately from non-allocated trial product.
All trial drug products must be retained for drug accountability checked by the monitor. The 
monitor will, upon completion of drug accountability, arrange for the destruction of used, expired,
unused and broken vials of the supplied trial drug products.
Destruction will be done according to local procedures after accountability is finalised and verified 
by the monitor. Destruction of products must be documented.
For Japan only: Responsibility for storage and drug accountability of the trial drug products at the 
trial site rests with the head of the trial site. The head of the trial site could assign some or all of the 
responsibilities for accountability of the trial drug products at the trial sites to a trial product storage 
manager (a pharmacist in principle). The trial product storage manager should control and take 
accountability of the trial drug products in accordance with procedures specified by Novo Nordisk 
A/S. The head of the trial site or the trial product storage manager must ensure the availability of 
proper storage conditions, and record and evaluate the temperature.
9.5
Auxiliary supply
Auxiliary supplies are equipment such as needles, syringes, butterflies, sterile swabs, vial adaptor 
etc. These will be provided by Novo Nordisk A/S, if applicable.
9.6
Shipment of trial product to patient’s home 
For selected countries and if permitted by local regulations, the investigator may offer to send trial 
product and auxiliaries from the trial site or pharmacy to the patient’s home by courier service.
The process for sending trial product from the trial site or pharmacy to a patient’s home is described 
in the “Trial site/pharmacy instruction for shipment of trial product to patients’ homes” 
document.  This document contains detailed instructions for preparing packaging and setting up the 
pick-up of trial product, handover of trial product from the trial site or pharmacy staff to the courier,

11 Adverse events and technical complaints 
11.1
Definitions
Adverse event:
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient administered a product, 
and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.
An AE can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory 
finding), symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of a product, whether or not 
considered related to the product. 
An AE includes:

A clinically significant worsening of a concomitant illness.

A clinical laboratory adverse event (CLAE): A clinical laboratory abnormality which is 
clinically significant, i.e. an abnormality that suggests a disease and/or organ toxicity and is of a 
severity that requires active management. Active management includes active treatment or 
further investigations, for example change of medicine dose or more frequent follow-up due to 
the abnormality.
The following should not be reported as AEs:

Bleeding episodes and other symptoms (eg synovitis, arthralgia, injection site haematoma) in 
connection with bleeding episodes should not be reported as AEs/SAEs unless the event is fatal, 
life-threatening or evaluated by the investigator as related to trial product or trial procedure. In 
case of life-threatening bleeding episode, it should always be reported as a SAE. All bleeding 
episodes and other findings related to underlying disease will be captured in Section 8. 

Pre-existing conditions, including those found as a result of screening procedures (pre-existing 
conditions should be reported as medical history or concomitant illness).

Pre-planned procedures unless the condition for which the procedure was planned has worsened 
from the first trial related activity after the subject has signed the informed consent.
The following three definitions are used when assessing an AE:

Severity assessment

Mild - no or transient symptoms, no interference with the patient's daily activities.

Moderate - marked symptoms, moderate interference with the patient's daily activities.

Severe - considerable interference with the patient's daily activities; unacceptable.

Causality assessment
The following terms are used when assessing the relationship between an AE and the relevant 
trial product:

Probable - Good reason and sufficient documentation to assume a causal relationship.

Possible - A causal relationship is conceivable and cannot be dismissed.


Unlikely - The event is most likely related to aetiology other than the trial product.

Final outcome of an AE

Recovered/resolved - The patient has fully recovered, or by medical or surgical treatment 
the condition has returned to the level observed at the first trial-related activity after the 
patient’s parents/LAR(s) signed the informed consent.

Recovering/resolving - The condition is improving and the patient is expected to recover 
from the event. This term is only applicable if the patient has completed the trial or has 
died from another AE.

Recovered/resolved with sequelae – The patient has recovered from the condition, but 
with lasting effect due to a disease, injury, treatment or procedure. If a sequela meets an 
SAE criterion, the AE must be reported as an SAE.

Not recovered/not resolved - The condition of the patient has not improved and the 
symptoms are unchanged, or the outcome is not known.

Fatal - This term is only applicable if the patient died from a condition related to the 
reported AE. Outcomes of other reported AEs in a patient before he/she died should be 
assessed as "recovered/resolved", "recovering/resolving", "recovered/resolved with 
sequelae" or "not recovered/not resolved". An AE with fatal outcome must be reported as 
an SAE.

Unknown - This term is only applicable if the patient is lost to follow-up.
Serious adverse event:
A serious adverse event (SAE) is an experience that at any dose results in any of the following:

Death.

A life-threateninga experience.

In-patient hospitalisationb or prolongation of existing hospitalisation.

A persistent or significant disability or incapacityc.

A congenital anomaly or birth defect.

Important medical events that may not result in death, be life threateninga or require 
hospitalisationb may be considered an SAE when - based on appropriate medical 
judgement - they may jeopardise the patient and may require medical or surgical 
intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in the definition of SAEd. 

Suspicion of transmission of infectious agents via the trial product and formation of 
inhibitor antibodies must always be considered an SAE.

FIX inhibitory antibodies (confirmed by two consecutive tests, see Section 8.4.2.2 must 
always be considered a SAE
a. The term "life threatening" in the definition of SAE refers to an event in which the patient was at 
risk of death at the time of the event. It does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have 
caused death if it was more severe.

b. The term "hospitalisation" is used when a patient: 

Is admitted to a hospital or in-patient, irrespective of the duration of physical stay, or 

Stays at the hospital for treatment or observation for more than 24 hours
Medical judgement must always be exercised, and when in doubt, the hospital contact should be 
regarded as a hospitalisation. Hospitalisations for administrative, trial related and social purposes do 
not constitute AEs and should therefore not be reported as AEs or SAEs. Hospital admissions for 
surgical procedures, planned before trial inclusion, are not considered AEs or SAEs.
c. A substantial disruption of a patient's ability to conduct normal life functions (eg following the 
event or clinical investigation the patient has significant, persistent or permanent change, 
impairment, damage or disruption in his/her body function or structure, physical activity and/or 
quality of life).
d. For example intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home of allergic bronchospasm, 
blood dyscrasiasis or convulsions that do not result in hospitalisation or development of drug 
dependency or drug abuse.
Non-serious adverse event
A non-serious AE is any AE which does not fulfil the definition of an SAE.
Medical event of special interest
A medical event of special interest (MESI) is an event which, in the evaluation of safety, has a 
special focus. A MESI is an AE (SAE or non-serious AE) which fulfils one or more of the below 
defined MESI criteria.
1. Medication errors concerning trial product:

Administration of wrong drug 

Wrong route of administration

Accidental administration of a lower or higher dose than intended. The administered dose 
must deviate from the intended dose to an extent where clinical consequences for the trial 
patient were likely to happen as judged by the investigator, although not necessarily did 
happen.
2. Inhibitor formation against FIX. Blood samples for measurement of FIX inhibitors will be 
analysed at a central laboratory selected by Novo Nordisk A/S. If an investigator obtains 
information of a positive central laboratory result or any indication of inhibitor formation by 
clinical signs or local laboratory results, this should be reported as a MESI prior to confirmation 
by two central laboratory results.
3. Thromboembolic events (clinical signs or laboratory indications of arterial and venous 
thrombosis including myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, cerebral

Clinical criteria for diagnosing anaphylaxis (infants and children only) (Sampson et al. 
200620): 
Anaphylaxis is highly likely when any one of the following 3 criteria are fulfilled:
1. Acute onset of an illness (minutes to several hours) with involvement of the skin, mucosal tissue, 
or both (e.g., generalized hives, pruritus or flushing, swollen lips-tongue-uvula) AND AT LEAST 
ONE OF THE FOLLOWING
a) Respiratory compromise (e.g., dyspnea, wheeze-bronchospasm, stridor, reduced PEF, 
hypoxemia)
b) Reduced BP or associated symptoms of end-organ dysfunction (e.g., hypotonia [collapse], 
syncope, incontinence)
2. Two or more of the following that occur rapidly after exposure to a likely allergen for that patient 
(minutes to several hours):
a) Involvement of the skin-mucosal tissue (e.g., generalized hives, itch-flush, swollen lips-
tongue-uvula)
b) Respiratory compromise (e.g., dyspnea, wheeze-bronchospasm, stridor, reduced PEF, 
hypoxemia)
c) Reduced BP or associated symptoms (e.g., hypotonia [collapse], syncope, incontinence)
d) Persistent gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., crampy abdominal pain, vomiting)
3. Reduced BP after exposure to known allergen for that patient (minutes to several hours):
a) Infants and children: low systolic BP (age specific) or greater than 30% decrease in systolic 
BP from that person’s baseline*
*Low systolic blood pressure for children is defined as less than 70 mm Hg from 1 month to 1 year, 
less than (70 mm Hg + [2x age]) from 1 to 10 years.
Technical complaint
A technical complaint is any written, electronic, or oral communication that alleges product 
(medicine or device) defects. The technical complaint may be associated with an AE, but does not 
concern the AE itself.
Examples of technical complaints:

The physical or chemical appearance of trial product (e.g. discoloration, particles or 
contamination)

The packaging material (e.g. leakage, cracks, rubber membrane issues or errors in labelling text)
11.2
Reporting of adverse events
All events meeting the definition of an AE must be collected and reported. This includes events 
from the first trial-related activity after the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) has signed the informed 
consent until the end of the trial. The events must be recorded in the applicable CRF forms in a 
timely manner. See timelines below.

AEs experienced after signing of informed consent and before first dosing should only be reported 
if associated with trial related activities.
During each contact with the trial site staff (trial site visits and telephone contacts) the patient 
and/or patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) must be asked about AEs and technical complaints, e.g. “Have 
your child experience any problems since the last contact?”
All AEs, either observed by the investigator or reported by the patient, must be reported by the 
investigator and evaluated. Novo Nordisk assessment of expectedness is performed according to the 
following reference documents: Investigator’s Brochure7, N9-GP, current version and any updates 
thereto.
For Japan only: If obtaining marketing approval in Japan, sponsor’s assessment of expectedness is 
done according to the package insert of the commercial products in Japan. 
All AEs must be recorded by the investigator on an AE form. The investigator should report the 
diagnosis, if available. If no diagnosis is available, the investigator should record each sign and 
symptom as an individual AE using separate AE forms.
For each SAE and MESI an electronic Safety Information Form (eSIF) should be completed in
addition to the AE form in the eCRF. If several symptoms or diagnoses occur as part of the same 
clinical picture, one SIF may be used to describe all the SAEs. All concerned AE numbers must be 
included in the AE number field on the SIF.
MESIs, regardless of seriousness, must be reported using both the AE form and the safety 
information form. For MESIs of allergic aetiology, the hypersensitivity questionnaire must be 
completed.
The AE form for a non-serious AE should be signed when the event is resolved or at the end of the 
trial.
Timelines for initial reporting of AEs:
The investigator must complete the following forms in the eCRF/CRF within the specified 
timelines:

SAEs and MESIs: The AE form within 24 hours and the safety information form within 5 calendar days 
of the investigator's first knowledge of the event.
Both forms must be signed within 7 calendar days from the date the information was entered in the 
eCRF. 

MESIs of allergic aetiology: The hypersensitivity questionnaire must be completed within 14 days
If the eCRF is unavailable, the concerned AE and SIF (if applicable) information must be reported 
on paper forms and sent to Novo Nordisk by fax, e-mail or courier within the same timelines as

stated above. When the eCRF becomes available again, the investigator must re-enter the 
information on the appropriate forms in the eCRF. 
Contact details (fax, telephone, e-mail and address) are provided in the investigators trial file.
Reporting of trial product-related SUSARs by the sponsor:
Novo Nordisk will notify the investigator of trial product-related suspected unexpected serious 
adverse reactions (SUSARs) in accordance with local requirements and GCP1. In addition, the 
investigator will be informed of any trial-related SAEs that may warrant a change to any trial 
procedure.
In accordance with regulatory requirements, Novo Nordisk will inform the regulatory authorities, 
including EMA, of trial product-related SUSARs. In addition, Novo Nordisk will inform the 
IRBs/IECs of trial product-related SUSARs in accordance with local requirement and GCP1, unless 
locally this is an obligation of the investigator.
11.3
Follow-up of adverse events
The investigator must record follow-up information by updating the forms in the eCRF.
Follow up information must be reported to Novo Nordisk according to the following:

SAEs: All SAEs must be followed until the outcome of the event is "recovered/resolved", 
"recovered/resolved with sequelae" or "fatal", and until all queries have been resolved. Cases of 
chronic conditions, cancer or AEs ongoing at time of death (where death is due to another AE) 
may be closed with the outcome "recovering/resolving" or "not recovered/not resolved". Cases 
can be closed with the outcome of "recovering/resolving" when the patient has completed the 
follow-up period and is expected by the investigator to recover.
The SAE follow-up information should only include new (e.g. corrections or additional) 
information and must be reported within 24 hours of the investigator's first knowledge of the 
information. This is also the case for previously non-serious AEs which subsequently become 
SAEs. 

Non-serious AEs: Non-serious AEs must be followed until the outcome of the event is 
"recovering/resolving", "recovered/resolved" or "recovered/resolved with sequelae" or until the 
end of the follow-up period stated in the protocol, whichever comes first, and until all queries 
related to these AEs have been resolved. Cases of chronic conditions, cancer or AEs ongoing at 
time of death (where death is due to another AE) may be closed with the outcome 
"recovering/resolving" or "not recovered/not resolved". Cases can be closed with the outcome of 
"recovering/resolving" when the patient has completed the follow-up period and is expected by 
the investigator to recover.

Non-serious AE fulfilling the MESI criteria: Follow-up information on MESIs should only 
include new (e.g. corrections or additional) information and must be reported within 14

calendar days of the investigator's first knowledge of the information. This is also the case for 
previously reported non-serious AEs which subsequently fulfil the MESI criteria. 
The investigator must ensure that the worst case severity and seriousness of an event is kept 
throughout the trial. A worsening of an unresolved AE must be reported as follow up with re-
assessment of severity and/or seriousness of the event.
Queries or follow-up requests from Novo Nordisk must be responded to within 14 calendar days
from the date of receipt of the request, unless otherwise specified in the follow-up request.
11.4
Technical complaints and technical complaint samples
11.4.1
Reporting of technical complaints 
All technical complaints on any of the following products:

N9-GP 500 IU/vial

N9-GP 2000 IU/vial

Histidine vial

Novo Nordisk trial injection kit 
which occur from the time of first usage of product until the time of the last usage of the product,
must be collected and reported to Customer Complaint Center, Novo Nordisk.
Contact details (fax, e-mail and address) are provided in Attachment I to the protocol.
The investigator must assess whether the technical complaint is related to any AE(s), SAE(s) and/or 
MESI(s). 
Technical complaints must be reported on a separate technical complaint form for each product 
listed. If the technical complaint involves more than one batch, lot number or more than one DUN, 
a technical complaint form for each batch, lot number or for each DUN must be completed.
The investigator must complete the technical complaint form in the eCRF within the following 
timelines of the trial site obtaining knowledge of the technical complaint:

Technical complaint assessed as related to an SAE within 24 hours

All other technical complaints within 5 calendar days
If the eCRF is unavailable or when reporting a technical complaint that is not patient related, the 
information must be provided on a paper form by fax, e-mail or courier to Customer Complaint 
Center, Novo Nordisk, within the same timelines as stated above.

11.4.2
Collection, storage and shipment of technical complaint samples
The investigator must collect the technical complaint sample and notify the monitor within 5 
calendar days of obtaining the sample at trial site. The monitor must coordinate the shipment to 
Customer Complaint Center, Novo Nordisk (the address is provided in Attachment I) and ensure 
that the sample is sent as soon as possible. A print or copy of the technical complaint form must be 
sent with the sample.
The investigator must ensure that the technical complaint sample contains the batch, lot number 
and, if available, the dispensing unit number (DUN).
If the technical complaint sample is unobtainable, the investigator must specify on the technical 
complaint form why it is unobtainable.
Storage of the technical complaint sample must be done in accordance with the conditions 
prescribed for the product. The shipment of the technical complaint sample should be done in 
accordance with the same conditions as for storage, see Section 9.
11.5
Precautions and/or overdose
As with any protein injected i.v. hypersensitivity reactions may occur. The possible events include 
rash, pruritus, fever, nausea, headache, vomiting and changes in blood pressure. If any of these 
events are suspected, further N9-GP administration should be stopped and the patient should receive 
treatment as appropriate according to the hospital practice and guidelines prior to further treatment 
with N9-GP. 
If an overdose is suspected further N9-GP administration should be stopped and the patient should 
receive treatment as appropriate according to hospital practice and guidelines prior to further 
treatment with N9-GP.
11.6
Committees related to safety
11.6.1
Novo Nordisk safety committee
Novo Nordisk will constitute an internal N9-GP safety committee to perform ongoing safety 
surveillance.
The safety committee works according to a written guideline and will meet regularly to discuss and 
evaluate the overall safety of N9-GP for this trial and all other N9-GP trials. 
Any event occurring after administration of N9-GP fulfilling the SAE/MESI criteria must be 
reported to Novo Nordisk. If one of the below mentioned criteria is fulfilled, all investigators will 
be informed in writing, and an extraordinary safety committee meeting will be called for to decide 
whether or not the trial can continue with or without modifications.

Occurrence of two significant thromboembolic events in two different patients (e.g. myocardial 
infarction, pulmonary embolism, cerebral thrombosis/infarction or other significant 
thromboembolic events)

Death related to trial product assessed by Novo Nordisk or by the Investigator
Dosing of patients on treatment may continue while further evaluation of the SAE/MESI is made, 
but recruitment of additional patients will be put on hold unless otherwise decided by the safety 
committee. The evaluation of fulfilment of the above criteria by the safety committee will take into 
consideration whether or not the patient was dosed according to protocol.
Furthermore, the safety committee will meet following every inhibitor (neutralising antibody, 
Bethesda unit of ≥ 0.6) confirmed by two consecutive tests at the central laboratory. Recruitment of 
new patients may continue during safety committee assessment of inhibitor formation.
Finally, the safety committee might meet in case of development of binding antibodies and 
suspicion of decreased drug efficacy.

12 Case report forms 
Novo Nordisk will provide a system for the electronic case report forms (eCRF). This system and 
support services to the system will be supplied by a vendor. The activities of this vendor will be 
under the direction and supervision of Novo Nordisk.
The investigator or delegated person should ensure that all relevant questions are answered, and that 
no empty data field exists.
If a test or an assessment has not been done and will not be available, or if the question is irrelevant 
(e.g. is not applicable), indicate this according to the data entry instructions.
The following will be provided as paper CRF:
1. Hypersensitivity questionnaire 
In addition paper AE forms, safety information forms and Technical Complaint forms will be 
provided. These must be used when access to the eCRF is revoked or the eCRF is unavailable.
On the paper CRF form print legibly, using a ballpoint pen. Ensure that all questions are answered, 
and that no empty data blocks exist. Ensure that no information is recorded outside the data blocks.
If a test or an assessment has not been done and will not be available, indicate this by writing “ND” 
(not done) in the appropriate answer field in the CRF. If the question is irrelevant (e.g. is not 
applicable) indicate this by writing “NA” (not applicable) in the appropriate answer field. Further 
guidance can be obtained from the instructions in the CRF.
The investigator must ensure that all information derived from source documentation is consistent 
with the source information. By electronically signing the case book in the eCRF, the investigator 
confirms that the information in the eCRF including related forms is reviewed, complete and 
correct.
12.1
Corrections to case report forms
Corrections to the eCRF data may be made by the investigator or the investigator's authorised staff. 
An audit trail will be maintained in the eCRF application containing as a minimum: the old and the 
new data, identification of the person entering the data, date and time of the entry and reason for the 
correction.
If corrections are made by the investigator's authorised staff after the date the investigator has 
signed the case book, the case book must be signed and dated again by the investigator.
Corrections to the data in paper CRFs may only be made by drawing a straight line through the 
incorrect data and then writing the correct entry next to the data that were crossed out. Each

correction must be initialled, dated and explained (if necessary) by the investigator or the 
investigator’s authorised staff. 
Corrections necessary after the paper CRFs have been removed from the investigator’s trial site 
must be documented on a Data Clarification Form (DCF) or a Monitor-Initiated Discrepancy Form 
(MIDF).
12.2
Case report form flow 
The investigator must ensure that data is recorded in the eCRF as soon as possible, preferably 
within 3 days after the visit. Once data have been entered, it will be available to Novo Nordisk for 
data verification and validation purposes. 
Site specific eCRF data (in an electronic readable format) will be provided to the trial site before 
access to the eCRF is revoked. This data must be retained at the trial site.
When the final Clinical Trial Report (CTR) is available, the data will be archived by Novo Nordisk.
12.3
Electronic diary
Novo Nordisk will provide the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) with an eDiary for electronic recording of 
details of their child’s prophylaxis administration, bleeding episodes and treatment hereof, see 
Sections 8.1.1 and 8.6. The eDiary and related support services will be supplied by a vendor 
working under the direction and supervision of Novo Nordisk. 
When initiating home treatment, the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) will receive the eDiary and they will 
be trained in the use thereof by the investigator or delegated person. Data will be entered by the 
patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) in the eDiary device during home treatment. 
During trial site visits, data will be recorded in the eCRF by the trial staff and should not be entered 
by the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) in the eDiary. The eDiary will be returned by the patient’s 
parent(s)/LAR(s) at the EOT visit. 
All data entered will be transferred from the device to an electronic database, where it is kept as a 
certified copy of the source data. Data entered in the device will upon confirmation of a successful 
back-up be deleted from the device.
The eDiary will have built in edit checks and reminders, to ensure that all relevant questions are 
answered. 
eDiary data transferred to the electronic database will be viewable to relevant trial site staff and 
Novo Nordisk personnel on a secure, password protected web portal.

It is the responsibility of the investigator or delegated staff to review and thereby ensure the eDiary 
data quality. Following must be checked as minimum: that the eDiary data is complete, consistent 
and according to the requirements defined in this protocol. Upon review the investigator or 
delegated staff must document that the review has taken place and any actions required e.g. 
retraining of patients.
It must be confirmed by the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) if missing eDiary data need to be entered 
and/or if the transferred eDiary data needs to be corrected. This is done by filling in and forwarding 
a Data Clarification Form (DCF) to the eDiary vendor. An audit trail will be maintained.
12.4
Tablets for neurocognitive assessments
The CRO will provide the sites with tablets for neurocognitive assessments including Structured 
Developmental History and Haemophilia History. In some occurrences the collection of these 
assessments will be done on paper forms. 
Data will be entered on the tablet at site by the patient, patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) and in some cases 
by trained staff. All data entered will be transferred from the tablet to a database. 
The results of the assessments will be viewable on a web based portal when transmitted from the 
tablet. The web based portal is password protected.

13 Monitoring procedures 
During the course of the trial, the monitor will visit the trial site to ensure that the protocol is 
adhered to, that all issues have been recorded, to perform source data verification and to monitor 
drug accountability. 
After site initiation visit, site should be contacted every quarter, and visited at least every 6 months. 
The contacts (calls or visits) can be part of a monitoring visit in another trial. These contacts should 
be documented. 
A monitoring visit must be performed as soon as possible after FPFV and no longer than 4 weeks 
after. The monitoring intervals will depend on the outcome of the remote monitoring of the eCRFs, 
the trial site's recruitment rate and the compliance of the trial site to the protocol and GCP. The 
intervals between monitoring visits must not exceed 12 weeks whilst patients are in the trial
between visit 0 and visit 28. In the period after visit 28, intervals between monitoring visits must 
not exceed 24 weeks ± 4 weeks (whilst patients are on the trial), provided site contact at least every 
12 weeks. The monitor must be given direct access to source documents (original documents, data 
and records). Direct access includes permission to examine, analyse, verify and reproduce any 
record(s) and report(s) that are important to the evaluation of the trial. If the electronic medical 
record does not have a visible audit trail, the investigator must provide the monitor with signed and 
dated printouts. In addition, the relevant trial site staff should be available for discussions at 
monitoring visits and between monitoring visits (e.g. by telephone).
For all data recorded the source document must be defined in a source document agreement at each 
trial site. There must only be one source defined at any time for any data element.
All data must be verifiable in source documentation other than the eCRF, except for the following 
data that may be recorded directly in the eCRF and will then be considered source data:

Ethnicity

Race
The patient will only be identified by patient number and the monitor will verify and ensure that the 
eCRFs and eDiary are completed. Also it must be checked that the eDiary data review has been 
documented by investigator and that the needed action has been taken, if any.
Monitors must review the patient’s medical records and other source data (e.g. the diaries) to ensure 
consistency and/or identify omissions compared to the CRF. If discrepancies are found, the 
investigator must be questioned about these.
A follow-up letter (paper or electronic) will be sent to the investigator following each monitoring 
visit addressing any action to be taken.

For screening failures: Data for the screening visit must be entered in the eCRF within preferably 
5 days after data are available and the Screening Failure Form must be completed. Source data 
verification is not required except for informed consent, reason for screening failure and for data 
relating to any AEs if applicable. All data entered in the eCRF will be transferred into the trial 
database.
For withdrawn patients: All data collected in the period the patient participated in the trial will be 
entered into eCRF.
All information captured during visits to the trial site will be collected either in the eCRF, via tablet
or on paper questionnaires. When home treatment is initiated all bleeding episodes and injections 
with N9-GP occurring outside the trial site should be entered in the eDiary by the patient’s 
parents/LAR (see Section 8.8.3). The completed eDiary is considered source data.

14 Data management
Data management is always the responsibility of Novo Nordisk. 
Data management may be delegated under an agreement of transfer of responsibilities to another 
data management unit within Novo Nordisk or an external Clinical Research Organisation (CRO).
Appropriate measures, including encryption of data files containing person identifiable data, will be 
used to ensure confidentiality of patient data, when they are transmitted over open networks. 
Laboratory data from central laboratories will be transferred electronically from the laboratory 
performing the analyses. In cases where laboratory data are transferred via non-secure electronic 
networks, data will be encrypted during transfer.
The central and local laboratories will provide laboratory reports to the investigator for storage at 
the trial site. The laboratory report must be signed and dated by the investigator or delegated person 
and stored at the trial site as source data.
The patient and any biological material obtained from the patient will be identified by patient 
number and trial identification number. Appropriate measures such as encryption or leaving out 
certain identifiers will be enforced to protect the identity of patients in all presentations and 
publications as required by local, regional and national requirements.
The system and paper based questionnaires for neurocognitive assessments and support services for 
the systems will be supplied by a CRO. The CRO will collect, query, and process data from 
Structured Developmental and Haemophilia History, as well as Neurocognitive assessments. The 
CRO will transfer assessment results and outcomes from the External Expert Review Panel to Novo 
Nordisk.

15 Computerised systems
Novo Nordisk will capture and process clinical data using computerised systems that are described 
in Novo Nordisk Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and IT architecture documentation. The 
use and control of these systems are documented.
Investigators working on the trial may use their own electronic systems to capture source data. 
Novo Nordisk will collect information on the practical use of these systems within the conduct of 
this clinical trial. 
Novo Nordisk will use CONNECT as investigator portal to distribute and share trial-related 
documents and information with the participating sites.
The eDiary and tablets for neurocognitive assessments software and hardware implementation are 
compliant with the requirements of FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and ICH E6 (EU directive for personal 
data protection).1, 21 After trial completion, each trial site will be supplied with long-life CDs. These 
CDs will contain site-specific patient records including the patient’s eDiaries and audit trail 
including any data additions and corrections made on each form. The eDiary vendor will 
furthermore retain and securely store copies of all archived documents and data for 15 years or as 
required by local data retention laws for trial data.

16 Statistical considerations
Novo Nordisk A/S will be responsible for the statistical analysis.
The main statistical reporting of the trial will be performed when at least 20 patients have 
completed main phase (minimum 50 weeks) with at least 50 EDs and completed visit 23. Data from 
patients not yet having completed main phase and data from patients that have entered extension 
phase at this point will be included up to latest visit prior to this cut-off date. The data will be 
presented for the main phase and extension phase separately as well as combined. Except for the 
confidence interval for inhibitor rate and for annualised bleeding rate, the evaluation of data will be 
based on descriptive statistics, i.e. summary tables, listings and figures. 
An updated statistical reporting of the trial with supportive data will be performed when at least 40 
patients have had at least 100 EDs. Data from all patients will be included up to latest visit prior this 
cut-off date. The data will be presented for the main + extension phase and the extended 
prophylaxis period (beyond 100 EDs) separately as well as combined. 
All data will be reported separately in a final report when the trial is completed.

Multiple bleeding locations occurring from the same event (e.g. due to a fall) or at the same time 
point will be counted as one bleeding episode.
All bleeding endpoints will be evaluated based on bleeding episodes treated with N9-GP unless the 
bleeding was considered clinically insignificant (non-treatment requiring bleeding episode) and the 
associated treatment given was part of prophylaxis.
Neurocognitive assessments will be evaluated primarily based upon reference ranges gained from 
children and young adults of a parallel observational haemophilia normative study (HAEM-4436, 
eTHINK) and secondarily upon normative reference ranges from the general population to the 
extent possible. Individual case review by an External Expert Review Panel, considering also 
analysis of factors influencing outcome in haemophilia and reported in the structured developmental 
history, will be reflected in narrative and categorical assessments (see Section 8.3.3).
If necessary, a statistical analysis plan (SAP) may be written in addition to the protocol, including a 
more technical and detailed elaboration of the statistical analyses. If created, the SAP will be 
finalised before the first database lock. 
16.1
Sample size calculation
No formal sample size calculations have been performed. The sample size of 40 completers is based 
on EMA guideline5.
16.2
Definition of analysis sets
Descriptions and analysis of efficacy will be based on the Full Analysis Set (FAS), as defined in 
ICH E9 guidelines.22 The FAS includes all patients exposed to N9-GP. The safety analysis and 
descriptions will be based on the Safety Analysis Set (SAS). The SAS will consist of all patients 
exposed to N9-GP.
The patients or observations to be excluded, and the reasons for their exclusion must be documented 
and signed by those responsible before database lock. The patients and observations excluded from 
analysis sets, and the reason for this, will be described in the clinical trial report.
16.3
Primary endpoint
The primary endpoint is a safety endpoint defined as incidence of inhibitory antibodies against FIX.
The rate of inhibitory antibodies will be reported and a 1-sided 97.5% upper confidence limit will 
be provided based on an exact calculation for a binomial distribution. For the calculation of the rate 
the numerator will include the patients with inhibitors, while the denominator will include all

patients with a minimum of 10 exposure days plus any patient with less than 10 exposure days but

Secondary endpoints
16.4.1
Confirmatory secondary endpoints
There are no confirmatory secondary endpoints.
16.4.2
Supportive secondary endpoints
16.4.2.1
Number of bleeding episodes during prophylaxis
Annualised bleeding rate will be summarised and a 95% two sided confidence interval will be 
provided based on a negative binomial regression model with number of bleeding episodes 
requiring treatment with N9-GP (also referred to as breakthrough bleeding episodes) as the outcome 
variable, and adjusting for exposure time. For comparison with previous trials, a sensitivity analysis 
based on a Poisson regression model allowing for over-dispersion will also be performed.
Since it must be expected that some patients will withdraw, it becomes essential to account for how 
such withdrawals may affect the analyses of the prophylaxis effect. The analyses above already 
account for possible different treatment durations by using treatment duration as an offset. This is a 
proper adjustment if withdrawal is not related to the observed bleeding frequency. However, since it 
is possible that patients will withdraw exactly because of the observed bleeding rate it is important 
to perform sensitivity analyses that may account for withdrawn patients possibly being qualitatively 
different from completing patients.
Specifically, this will be done by performing sensitivity analyses for all prophylaxis analyses using 
a last observation carried forward (LOCF) approach for all patients with at least 1 month 
prophylaxis treatment duration by calculating the yearly bleeding episode rate for withdrawn 
patients and use that as an endpoint. As an example; a patient with 6 bleeding episodes in 4 months 
will have an endpoint value of 18 corresponding to a maintained bleeding rate of 18 bleeding 
episodes per year. For patients withdrawing within 1 month this method is considered to give too 
uncertain LOCF values, hence imputation will not be attempted for such patients.
Annualised bleeding rate will also be summarised by type of bleeding episode.
16.4.2.2
Haemostatic effect
Description of the haemostatic effect of N9-GP when used for treatment of bleeding episodes will 
be summarised and listed according to the four point scale for haemostatic response (poor, 
moderate, good and excellent).

A success rate will be calculated based on counting good or excellent as successes and poor and 
moderate as failures and based only on reported outcomes.
For the calculation of the success rate the numerator will include all treated bleeding episodes with 
a reported haemostatic response of good or excellent, while the denominator will include all treated 
bleeding episodes with a reported haemostatic response. A sensitivity analysis will also be 
conducted where the denominator also includes treated bleeding episodes with missing response 
(i.e. missing response is counted as a failure).
Haemostatic effect will be determined based on haemostatic response for bleeding episodes 
occurring both during pre-prophylaxis and prophylaxis period.
Haemostatic response will also be summarised by type of bleeding.
16.4.2.3
FIX activity
Incremental recovery 30 minutes post dosing (IR30min), FIX activity 30 minutes post dosing (C30min),
and trough FIX activity level will be assessed at visits according to Table 2–1.
FIX trough level is defined as the activity recorded immediately before N9-GP injection is given 
and reported as IU/mL. IR30min is defined as the rise in FIX activity per IU/kg administered and is
recorded 30 minutes after the end of N9-GP injection, and reported as [IU/mL]/[IU/kg]. It is 
calculated as the pre-dose subtracted FIX activity recorded 30 minutes after ended N9-GP injection 
and dividing the administered dose (IU/kg body weight (bw)).
16.4.2.4
FIX consumption 
Amount of N9-GP used for prophylaxis (IU/Kg/month/year) and amount consumed per bleeding 
episode (number of doses and IU/kg bw/bleeding episode) will be summarised and listed.
16.4.2.5
Safety endpoints
Adverse events including SAEs, MESI and development of HCP antibodies
Treatment emergent AEs (TEAEs, defined as AEs occurring after dosing with trial product) and 
treatment emergent SAEs (TESAEs) will be summarised by frequency of events and frequency of 
patients with any event. Similar summaries cross-classified by severity and by causal relation to 
trial product will also be made.
MESIs will be summarised similarly to AEs.
Furthermore, listings will be provided displaying all TEAEs and TESAEs including pertinent 
clinical information.
HCP antibodies will be listed.

All additional safety parameters such as laboratory parameters, including calculation of estimated 
glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and physical examinations, including neurological assessments,
will be summarised and listed.
16.5
Neurocognitive assessments
Age-adjusted domain and composite scores for each neurocognitive instrument will be calculated 
using available methods.
The individual patient overall/domain/sub-scores for each neurocognitive assessment instrument 
will be expressed as an individual’s Z-score (i.e. an indication of how many standard deviations a 
domain score is from the mean) and compared to reference ranges from normative data for children 
and young adults with haemophilia (adjusted for appropriate identified covariates) (HAEM-4436, 
eTHINK study). All the scores will be provided by a CRO. The individual score versus time of 
exposure (years) will be presented graphically per patient.
In addition, all data and scores will be summarised and listed.
16.6
Interim reporting
All data from main phase of the trial will be analysed and reported when minimum 20 patients have 
completed main phase with at least 50 EDs and completed visit 23. This report will cover all 
endpoints and will form the basis for the paediatric indication. Data from patients that have entered 
extension phase at this point will be included up to latest visit prior this cut-off date. The data will 
be presented separately for the main phase and extension as well as combined. The main conclusion 
from the trial will be drawn based on the main phase data.
Furthermore, interim analyses may be performed in association with marketing authorisation 
applications or in connection with Health Authorities e.g. FDA, EMA and PMDA requirement 
for/during the regulatory review or to obtain safety data.
An updated report with supportive data will be made when minimum 40 patients have had at least 
100 EDs. A final report with supportive data will be made when all patients have completed both 
parts of the trial.

17 Ethics
Participation in this trial could be a possible benefit for the patient in terms of closer monitoring of 
the patient by the investigator, compared to standard care and possible avoidance of bleeding 
episodes. As with all investigational drugs, there is an anticipated risk of potential side effect (ref. 
IB).7
The trial will be conducted in compliance with ICH GCP1 and applicable regulatory requirements, 
and in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki2. 
17.1
Informed consent 
In seeking and documenting informed consent, the investigator must comply with applicable 
regulatory requirement(s) and adhere to ICH GCP1 and the requirements in the Declaration of 
Helsinki2.
Before any trial-related activity, the investigator must give the patient and/or the patient’s 
parent(s)/LAR(s)) verbal and written information about the trial and the procedures involved in a 
form that the patient or the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) can read and understand. This includes the 
use of an impartial witness where required. In this trial the notion of LAR is the legal 
representatives, as defined in Member States’ national laws, who consent on behalf of the child.
The patient or the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) must be fully informed of their rights and 
responsibilities while participating in the trial as well as possible disadvantages of being treated 
with the trial product.
The investigator must ensure the patient and/or patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) ample time to come to a 
decision whether or not to participate in the trial.
The requirement for obtaining informed consent from a patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) is that the patient 
is unable to provide informed consent, and the process has been approved by the relevant IRB/IEC.
A voluntary, signed and personally dated informed consent form must be obtained from the 
patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) before any trial-related activity. In this trial where informed consent and 
exposure to the N9-GP may occur on the same day, informed consent form must include a time 
field next to the date field.
Consent: As a child is unable to provide legally binding consent, informed consent must be sought 
from the patient’s parent(s)/LAR on the child’s behalf. The specific and written informed consent of 
the parent(s)/LAR must be sought prior to enrolling a child in the trial. Information about the trial 
should be given by an experienced investigator.

For children, from birth to the age of 3 years old, it is not possible to obtain assent and 
understanding of research is not expected.18
Patients above the age of 3 years old should sign a child assent form, if capable, and if required by 
local requirements. This can be performed on a separate day; especially for long-term trials here the 
investigator should check the progressing maturation of the child and its ability for assent.
The responsibility for seeking informed consent must remain with the investigator, but the task may 
be delegated by the investigator to a medically qualified person, in accordance with local
requirements. The written informed consent including time must be signed and personally dated by 
the person who seeks the informed consent before trial-related activity.
The informed consent form contains a section explaining that Novo Nordisk is asking permission to 
store left over blood from blood samples and use it to analyse for further analyses characterising 
biomarkers within the trial. The accept is voluntary and independent on participation in the trial. If 
information becomes available that may be relevant to the patient’s willingness to continue 
participating in the trial, the investigator must inform the patient and/or the patient’s parent(s)/LAR 
in a timely manner, and a revised written informed consent must be provided and a new informed 
consent must be obtained.
F9 and HLA genotype testing/collection of previous genotype documentation:
If documentation of the patients’ genotype already exists, the data can be used for trial purpose. 
Only the F9 and HLA genotype will be analysed by the central laboratory selected by Novo Nordisk 
A/S and no other genomic analyses will be carried out. Samples will be appropriately disposed of, 
after the test. All test results are kept strictly confidential in sufficient consideration of individual 
information.
17.2
Data handling
If the patient is withdrawn from the trial or lost to follow up, then the patient’s data will be handled 
as follows:

Data already collected and data collected at the end-of-trial visit will be retained by Novo 
Nordisk, entered into the database and used for the trial report

Safety events will be reported to the Novo Nordisk and regulatory authorities according to 
local/national requirements
If data are used, it will always be in accordance with local law and IRBs/IECs.
17.3
Information to patient, parent(s)/LAR(s) during the trial
The trial site will be offered a communication package to the patient and/or the patient’s 
parent(s)/LAR(s) during the conduct of the trial. The package content is issued by Novo Nordisk. 
The communication package will contain the letters/booklets intended for distribution to the

patients. The letters/booklets will be translated and adjusted to local requirements and distributed to 
the patient and/or the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) by discretion of the investigator. The patient and/or 
the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) may receive a "welcome to the trial letter" and a "thank for your 
participation letter" at the end of the trial. Further the patient and/or the patient’s parent(s)/LAR(s) 
may receive trial letters and/or small toy during the trial period. 
All information inclusive material and toys to the patients will be submitted to the health authorities 
and IECs/IRBs for approval according to local regulations.
17.4
Premature termination of the trial and/or trial site
Novo Nordisk, the investigator, the IRBs/IECs or a regulatory authority may decide to stop the trial, 
part of the trial or a trial site at any time, but subject to the following procedure.
If a trial is suspended or prematurely terminated, the investigator must inform the patients promptly 
and ensure appropriate therapy and follow-up. The investigator and/or Novo Nordisk should also 
promptly inform the IRBs/IECs and provide a detailed written explanation. The relevant regulatory 
authorities must be informed.
If, after the termination of the trial, the risk/benefit analysis changes, the new evaluation should be 
provided to the IRBs/IECs in case it has an impact on the planned follow-up of patients who have 
participated in the trial. If it has an impact, the actions needed to inform and protect the patients
should be described.

18 Protocol compliance
Deviations from the protocol should be avoided.
If deviations do occur, the investigator must inform the monitor and the implications of the 
deviation must be reviewed and discussed.
Deviations must be documented and explained in a protocol deviation by stating the reason, date, 
and the action(s) taken. Some deviations, for which corrections are not possible, can be
acknowledged and confirmed via edit checks in the eCRF or via listings from the clinical database. 
Documentation on all protocol deviations must be kept in the investigator’s trial file and Novo 
Nordisk trial master file.

21 Responsibilities
All staff (Novo Nordisk, trial site, laboratory, CRO etc) will conduct the trial in compliance with 
ICH GCP1, applicable regulatory requirements and the Declaration of Helsinki.2
The investigator is accountable for the conduct of the trial at his/her trial site. If any tasks are 
delegated, the investigator must maintain a list of appropriately qualified persons to whom he/she 
has delegated specified significant trial-related duties. The investigator must ensure that there is 
adequate training for all staff participating in the conduct of the trial. It is the investigator’s 
responsibility to supervise the conduct of the trial and to protect the rights, safety, and well-being of 
the patients. At least investigator must be trained in the protocol at a Novo Nordisk meeting or by 
web training in the protocol. It is recommended that all site staff takes the web protocol training. A 
qualified physician, who is an investigator or a sub-investigator for the trial, must be responsible for 
all trial-related medical decisions. The investigator must ensure adequate supervision of the conduct 
of the trial at the trial site. 
The investigator will follow instructions from Novo Nordisk when processing data.
The investigator is responsible for filing essential documents (i.e. those documents which 
individually and collectively permit evaluation of the conduct of a trial and the quality of the data 
produced) in the investigator’s trial file. The documents should be kept in a secure locked facility, 
so no unauthorised persons can get access to the data. The patient identification code list should be 
kept securely and separate from the personal data.
The investigator will take all necessary technical and organisational safety measures to prevent 
accidental or wrongful destruction, loss or deterioration of data. The investigator will prevent any 
unauthorised access to data or any other processing of data against applicable law. The investigator 
must be able to provide the necessary information or otherwise demonstrate to Novo Nordisk that 
such technical and organisational safety measures have been taken.
During any period of unavailability, the investigator should delegate responsibility for medical care 
of patients to a specific qualified physician who will be readily available to patients during that 
time.
If the investigator is no longer able to fulfil the role of investigator (e.g. if he/she moves or retires), 
a new investigator will be appointed in consultation with Novo Nordisk. 
The investigator and other site personnel must have sufficient English skills according to their 
assigned task(s).

22 Reports and publications
The information obtained during the conduct of this trial is considered confidential, and may be 
used by Novo Nordisk for regulatory purposes and for the general development of the trial product. 
All information supplied by Novo Nordisk in connection with this trial shall remain the sole 
property of Novo Nordisk and is to be considered confidential information. No confidential 
information shall be disclosed to others without prior written consent from Novo Nordisk. Such 
information shall not be used except in the performance of this trial. The information obtained 
during this trial may be made available to other physicians who are conducting other clinical trials 
with the trial product, if deemed necessary by Novo Nordisk. Provided that certain conditions are 
fulfilled, Novo Nordisk may grant access to information obtained during this trial to researchers 
who require access for research projects studying the same disease and/or trial product studies in 
this trial.
Novo Nordisk may publish on its clinical trials website a redacted clinical trial report.
A principal investigator will be designated as the signatory investigator with the responsibility to 
review and sign the main report based on data from when at least 20 PUP have reached at least 50 
EDs.
22.1
Communication of results
Novo Nordisk commits to communicating, and otherwise making available for public disclosure, 
results of trials regardless of outcome. Public disclosure includes publication of a paper in a 
scientific journal, abstract submission with a poster or oral presentation at a scientific meeting, or 
disclosure by other means.
The results of this trial will be subject to public disclosure on external web sites according to 
international and national regulations, as reflected in the Novo Nordisk Code of Conduct for 
Clinical Trial Disclosure23.
Novo Nordisk reserves the right to defer the release of data until specified milestones are reached, 
for example when the clinical trial report is available. This includes the right not to release the 
results of interim analyses, because the release of such information may influence the results of the 
entire trial.
At the end of the trial, one or more scientific publications may be prepared collaboratively by the 
investigator(s) and Novo Nordisk. Novo Nordisk reserves the right to postpone publication and/or 
communication for up to 60 days to protect intellectual property.
In all cases the trial results will be reported in an objective, accurate, balanced and complete 
manner, with a discussion of the strengths and limitations. All authors will be given the relevant 
statistical tables, figures, and reports needed to evaluate the planned publication. In the event of any

disagreement on the content of any publication, both the investigators’ and Novo Nordisk opinions 
will be fairly and sufficiently represented in the publication.
Where required by the journal, the principal investigator from each trial site will be named in an 
acknowledgement or in the supplementary material, as specified by the journal. 
Novo Nordisk maintains the right to be informed of plans by any investigator to publish and to 
review any scientific paper, presentation, communication or other information concerning the 
investigation described in this protocol. Any such communication must be submitted in writing to 
the Novo Nordisk trial manager before submission for comments. Comments will be given within 
four weeks from receipt of the planned communication.
22.1.1
Authorship
Authorship of publications should be determined in accordance with the Uniform Requirements of 
the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (sometimes referred to as the Vancouver 
Criteria24).
Authorship credit should be based on:

Substantial contributions to conception and design, acquisition of data, or analysis and 
interpretation of data; 

Drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and 

Final approval of the version to be published.
22.1.2
Trial site-specific publication(s) by investigator(s)
For a multi-centre clinical trial, analyses based on single-site data usually have significant statistical 
limitations and frequently do not provide meaningful information for healthcare professionals or 
patients, and therefore may not be supported by Novo Nordisk. It is a Novo Nordisk policy that 
such individual reports do not precede the primary manuscript and should always reference the 
primary manuscript of the trial.
Novo Nordisk reserves the right to prior review of such publications. Further to allow for the 
primary manuscript to be published as the first, Novo Nordisk asks for deferment of publication of 
individual trial site results until the primary manuscript is accepted for publication. As Novo 
Nordisk wants to live up to the industry publication policy, submission for publication of such 
primary policy will take place no later than 18 months after trial completion.

23 Retention of clinical trial documentation and human biospecimens
23.1
Retention of clinical trial documentation
Patient’s medical records must be kept for the maximum period permitted by the hospital, 
institution or private practice.
The investigator must agree to archive the documentation (this includes both electronic and paper-
based records) pertaining to the trial in an archive after completion or discontinuation of the trial if 
not otherwise notified. The investigator should not destroy any documents without prior permission 
from Novo Nordisk. If the investigator cannot archive the documents at the trial site, Novo Nordisk 
can refer the investigator to an independent archive provider that has a system in place to allow only 
the investigator to access the files.
The investigator must be able to access his/her trial documents without involving Novo Nordisk in 
any way. Trial site-specific CRFs and other patient data (in an electronic readable format or as 
paper copies or prints) will be provided to the investigator before access is revoked to the systems 
and/or electronic devices supplied by Novo Nordisk. These data must be retained by the trial site. If 
the Novo Nordisk provided data (e.g. the CD-ROM) is not readable during the entire storage period, 
the investigator can request a new copy, as a copy of all data will be stored by Novo Nordisk.
Novo Nordisk will maintain Novo Nordisk documentation pertaining to the trial for as long as the 
product is on the market plus 20 years. 
The files from the investigator trial site/institution must be retained for 15 years after the 
completion of the trial, or longer if required by national regulations. The deletion process must 
ensure confidentiality of data and must be done in accordance with local regulatory requirements.
23.2
Retention of human biospecimens
Storage and disposition of samples analysed at local laboratories will be performed according to 
local laboratory procedures. 
Blood samples apart from antibody and biospecimen samples will be destroyed after the finalisation 
of the CTR. Antibody samples (samples for binding antibodies and inhibitors) will be stored until 
drug approval by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or European Medicines Agency (EMA) 
or until the project terminates, but no longer than 15 years from end of trial. Biospecimens will be 
destroyed at the latest 15 years from end of trial. As new biomarkers related to the disease and/or 
safety, efficacy, or mechanism of action of N9-GP may evolve during the conduct of the trial, the 
analyses of the stored biospecimens may also include biomarkers that are unknown at present or 
have not been included in the scientific hypotheses at initiation of the trial. The samples will be 
stored at Novo Nordisk A/S or a Novo Nordisk designated referral bio-repository with access to the 
samples. Samples might be transferred to other countries, if not prohibited by local regulations. The

patient’s identity will remain confidential and samples will only be marked and identified by a 
unique sample ID (patient number and visit number). No direct identification of the patient will be 
stored together with the samples. The analyses will not have any medical consequences for the 
patients or their relatives. Only Novo Nordisk staff and bio-repository personnel (if applicable) will 
have access to the stored bio specimens.
