a research study investigating nonacog beta pegol (n9-gp) for treatment and prevention of bleedings in chinese people with haemophilia b

Conditions: Haemophilia B

Summary: the study investigates how well the medicine called nonacog beta pegol (n9-gp) works in chinese people with haemophilia b. participants will be treated with n9-gp. this is a medicine that doctors can already prescribe in other countries. the medicine will be injected into a vein (intravenous injection). at the visits to the clinic, the medicine will be injected by the study doctor. when treating themselves at home, participants inject the medicine using a needle and vial set. the study will last for about 12-16 months. the participants will have between 9 and 19 visits to the clinic and possibly also some phone calls with the study doctor. at all visits to the clinic, the participants will have blood samples taken.
