Eligibility criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:

        Part A (PTPs):

          -  Chinese participants with severe hemophilia A (defined as Factor VIII (FVIII): C < 1%
             with one- stage clotting assay documented at the time of screening)

             FVIII product

          -  For participants < 12 years of age, ≥ 50 exposure days (ED); for participants ≥ 12 to
             65 years of age, ≥ 150 ED with any FVIII product

          -  No current evidence of inhibitor

          -  No history of FVIII inhibitor formation

          -  Signed informed consent

        Part B (PUPs/MTPs):

          -  Chinese participants with severe hemophilia A (defined as Factor VIII (FVIII): C < 1%
             with one- stage clotting assay documented at the time of screening)

          -  PUPs must have no previous exposure to any FVIII product. MTPs must have no more than
             1 ED with any purified FVIII concentrate or 3 exposures with FFP or cryoprecipitate.

             Nijmegen-modified Bethesda assay (<0.6 BU/mL) in 2 consecutive samples and must have
             absence of clinical signs or symptoms of decreased response to FVIII administration.
             Testing for the 2 negative samples must be performed by the central laboratory at
             least 1 week but not more than 2 weeks apart. Participants may not receive FVIII
             product within 72 hours prior to the collection of samples for inhibitor testing.

          -  PUPs and MTPs must observe a 6-month washout period if they have received subcutaneous
             factor substitution therapy (emicizumab).

          -  PUPs may be included if they will receive their first FVIII dose with KOVALTRY for
             treatment of first bleed and agree to start prophylaxis as part of their care. MTPs
             may be included if they agree to start prophylaxis as part of their care.

Patient description (medical language): A 20-year-old man comes to the emergency due to bleeding after a tooth extraction.  The bleeding has persisted for approximately 30 minutes despite constant direct pressure.  He is a known case of Hemophilia type A treated with FVIII. Blood pressure is 95/60 mm Hg and pulse is 105/min. His weight is 70 Kg. Family history is positive for Hemophilia type A in his maternal uncle. He also has a lipoma on his left arm which he plans to remove surgically. His FVIII activity is 40%.

Patient description (patient's own words): I got my tooth extracted and I could not stop bleeding for 30 min. I'm a 20 yo dude but I have Hemophilia type A treated with FVIII. My blood pressure was 95/60 and my pulse 105/min. I'm 70 kg. My uncle on my mom's side also has type A hemophilia. I also have a fatty swelling on my left arm and I was supposed to remove it. My FVIII activity was 40%.

Does the patient match the trial criteria? Contradiction
