main phase of 6 months and during the trial period of 24 monthsII
Trial design:
This is a single-country, multi-centre, open-label and non-randomised trial. Both a prophylactic and 
on-demand regimen of turoctocog alfa will be provided. This trial has a main and extension phase.
Trial population:
65 previously treated patients (PTPs) with congenital severe haemophilia A (FVIII≤1%) with no 
history of inhibitors will be enrolled to allow for at least 60 patients to complete the main phase of 
the trial. All ages are eligible.
Key inclusion criteria:
!
Male patients
!
Age from 0 years
!
With severe congenital haemophilia A (FVIII≤1%)
!
History of exposure days (ED) to any FVIII products fulfilling the criteria of previously treated 
patients: 
–
Patients of 12 years or above: 100 exposures days (ED) or more
–
Patients below 12 years: 50 exposure days (ED) or more
Key exclusion criteria:
!
Inhibitors to factor VIII (≥0.6 BU) at screening as assessed by central laboratory
!
Known history of FVIII inhibitors
Assessments:
!
Evaluation of haemostatic effect of turoctocog alfa when used for treatment of bleeds, assessed 
on a four-point scale for haemostatic response (excellent, good, moderate and none)
!
Presence of FVIII inhibitors will be tested throughout the trial
!
Consumption of trial product IU/kg body weight (BW will be monitored throughout the trial
Furthermore physical examination, vital signs, laboratory tests and recording of adverse events and 
serious adverse events will be performed for safety assessments.
!
Measurement of FVIII activity for pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation for 12-18 selected patients 
during visit 2 and for patients who develop low titer inhibitors and continue in the trial.

Background information and rationale for the trial
The trial will be conducted in compliance with this protocol, International Conference on 
Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) 1 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 A is a recessive X-linked congenital bleeding disorder, caused by mutation in the 
coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) gene on the long arm of the X-chromosome. Approximately 1 in 
5,000 males is born with haemophilia A. Haemophilia is classified as “severe (<1%)”, “moderate 
(1-5%)” or “mild (>5%)” according to the residual plasma activity of the affected clotting FVIII3.
Patients with haemophilia A lack or have a reduced production of FVIII, or they produce 
biochemically defective FVIII molecules. With a deficiency or absence of these factors, the 
activation of coagulation factor X becomes severely impaired, and consequently, the thrombin burst 
becomes delayed and insufficient for normal haemostasis.
Recurrent bleeding episodes in the same location, most commonly a weight-bearing joint, lead to 
chronic arthropathy, muscular atrophy, and deformities. Treatment of bleeds as they manifest (on-
demand treatment) may delay this process, but does not prevent it4. For this reason, in many 
developed countries prophylaxis with regular FVIII injections is a standard practice from early 
childhood to at least 18 years of age. The primary goals of haemophilia therapy are the prevention 
of bleeding episodes, rapid and definitive treatment of bleeds that do occur, and the provision of 
adequate haemostasis during surgery and other major challenges to haemostasis.
3.2
Novo Nordisk’s recombinant FVIII, turoctocog alfa
3.2.1
Clinical data
Novo Nordisk A/S has developed turoctocog alfa, a B-domain truncated human recombinant FVIII 
for the treatment of patients with haemophilia A. For information on the medicinal aspects, non-
clinical data and quality of turoctocog alfa, please refer to the Investigator’s Brochure5. The clinical 
experience with turoctocog alfa is described below. 
In accordance with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) guidelines on development of new 
FVIII products6 the clinical development program for turoctocog alfa started with a first human 
dose trial (NN7008-3522) to document the essential PK characteristics of the product and to obtain 
initial safety information. The trial also included a comparison of the PK profiles of turoctocog alfa 
and Advate®, a marketed recombinant serum free product. Twenty three previously treated patients

with severe haemophilia A completed the trial. Overall, the PK profiles of turoctocog alfa and 
Advate® were comparable7. No safety concerns were observed in the trial.
Clinical experience further includes two completed phase 3 trials, i.e. the pivotal (NN7008-3543, 
guardian™1) and paediatric (NN7008-3545, guardian™3) trials. A total of 213 previously treated 
patients (PTPs) with severe haemophilia A (FVIII≤1 %) from 18 countries participated in these 
trials. In both trials, the primary objective was to assess safety, including the incidence rate of FVIII 
inhibitors (≥0.6 BU). Secondary endpoints included evaluation of efficacy during prophylaxis 
treatment and treatment of bleeding episodes, PK and patient-reported outcome parameters. 
Furthermore, safety and efficacy during surgical procedures were assessed. 
An extension trial (NN7008-3568, guardian™2) will finalise during 2016. Table 3–1 provides an 
overview of phase 3 clinical trials including patient groups and treatment regimens.

3.2.2
Risks and benefits
FVIII products are used in the standard care of patients with haemophilia A. Although not identical 
in structure, the effect of turoctocog alfa is similar to other marketed FVIII products which are of 
either plasma derived or recombinant origin. Turoctocog alfa is a recombinant protein manufactured 
in a serum-free process, and the risk of transmission of infectious agents through this product is 
therefore extremely low.
Potential risks are common to all recombinant FVIII (rFVIII) products and include allergic reaction 
and formation of antibodies to FVIII which may be neutralising (inhibitors). Although an allergic 
reaction to the trial product is possible in susceptible individuals, no severe reactions to turoctocog 
alfa have been observed so far. Inhibitor formation occurs in up to 30-35% of previously untreated 
patients with severe haemophilia A8, but is a rare occurrence in patients with a history of treatment 
with FVIII products. This trial will enrol patients with a considerable previous exposure and no 
inhibitors in previously treated patients were detected in previous trials. Therefore the risk of 
antibody formation to turoctocog alfa in this trial is considered low, though it is known that de novo 
inhibitors may develop lifelong.9
The potential benefit to the patients treated with turoctocog alfa includes more treatment choices 
and expanded access to safe and effective treatment of haemophilia A. Furthermore the patients in 
the trial will have access to FVIII product that has been demonstrated to be effective in already 
conducted clinical trials.
For further information on risk and benefits and safety of turoctocog alfa please see the Investigator 
Brochure.5
3.3
Rationale for the trial
The rationale for this trial is to accumulate sufficient exposure to turoctocog alfa in order to obtain 
efficacy data and evaluate safety in terms of immunogenicity from treatment of bleeding episodes 
and with prophylaxis in Chinese patients with severe haemophilia A. 
Globally there is still a vast unmet medical need for treatment of haemophilia A. Through 
development of new rFVIII products, the possibility for haemophilia A patients to choose between 
different FVIII products is increased. New products may also contribute to securing product supply, 
thereby increasing the opportunity for improving treatment in haemophilia A.
3.3.1
Clinical development program
The phase 3 clinical development program was presented in section 3.2 . The present trial NN7008-
4028 (guardianTM7) will support the program with clinical data on inhibitor development and will 
contribute to establish the overall efficacy and safety profile of turoctocog alfa.

Trial design
5.1
Type of trial
This is a single-country, multi-centre, open-label and non-randomised trial. 65 PTPs with 
haemophilia A will be given a prophylactic regimen or an on-demand regimen of turoctocog alfa. It 
is not possible to switch between these 2 treatments regimens in the main phase of the trial, but the 
dose and frequency of dosing can though be changed. (Please see 5.3.1 for exemption of patients 
with low titer inhibitor) At least 10 patients on the on-demand and 20 patients on the prophylaxis
regimen will complete the main phase of the trial, which will last for approximately 6 months.
If a patient has not finalised the main phase at the time of cut off for the main CTR they will though 
be moved to the extension phase of the trial and thus will not complete the main phase and will not 
have 6 months in this phase of the trial. See Figure 16–1. They will though have the visit 8 safety 
assessments performed at the last main visit or at the next extension visit.
For an individual patient the main phase is defined as from visit 1 to visit 8. On trial level the main 
CTR will be written with at least 60 patients having completed the main phase of the trial.
An extension phase (from visit 8 until LPLV, see section 7) is added to assess long term safety and 
efficacy, see section 7, and either prophylaxis or on demand treatment can be chosen also in this 
phase, but it is possible to switch between these treatments regimens during the extension phase and 
also to change the dose and frequency of dosing.
Of the 65 dosed patients, a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 18 patients (see Table 6–1) will be 
enrolled in the PK session to characterise the PK profile of turoctocog alfa in a Chinese population 
with severe haemophilia A. 
Enrolled patients who need to undergo surgical procedures will remain in the trial provided that 
turoctocog alfa is used for the prevention and treatment of the surgical bleeding. All surgeries 
procedures (e.g. minor, major, elective, and emergency) may be performed using turoctocog alfa at 
the investigators discretion.

Overview of the trial design
5.2
Rationale for trial design
This is an uncontrolled, non-randomised trial and the design is common for trials with FVIII 
products in haemophilia A patients. In this trial, previously treated severe haemophilia A patients 
will receive routine prophylaxis treatment and treatment of bleeds, as well as prevention and 
treatment of bleeding episodes in surgery. This design is to a large extent similar to the pivotal 
NN7008-3543 (guardian™1) and NN7008-3568 (guardian™2) trial design. The patients will be 
treated for approximately 6 months in the main phase which will allow both patients on prophylaxis 
and on-demand treatment to accumulate sufficient exposures to turoctocog alfa in order to 
demonstrate efficacy and safety in treatment and prevention of bleeding episodes. If a patient has 
not finalised the main phase at the time of cut off for the main CTR they will be moved to the 
extension phase of the trial and thus will not have 6 months in the main phase of the trial. See 
Figure 16–1
This trial will also include a PK session at visit 2 to characterise the PK profile in Chinese 
population. This trial is conducted in a Chinese population and will be comparable to the pivotal 
trial in the guardian program.

Treatment of patients
Patients will receive prophylaxis treatment and/or treatment of bleeds, as well as surgery treatment
and treatment of bleeding episodes during surgery and in the post-operative period.
The trial product is turoctocog alfa produced by Novo Nordisk. The trial product is a recombinant 
FVIII product and is a lyophilised powder in vials, which is reconstituted with solvent for injection. 
Trial product will be administered as intravenous injections (i.v.) at home by the patient or 
parent/caregiver, at the trial site or in exceptional cases in another clinic/hospital. To be able to train 
patients on home treatment of turoctocog alfa at least the first treatment should be at the trial site.
The investigator should together with the patient decide if the patient should receive the trial 
product as a prophylaxis treatment or as on-demand treatment.

Switching between treatment regimens
It is possible to switch between prophylaxis and on-demand treatment in the extension phase of the 
trial. In the main phase, a switch from on-demand regimen to prophylaxis is only possible for a
patient with confirmed low-titer inhibitor. A slow-start initiation phase may be used, but must be
followed up with regular prophylaxis-treatment (ie. three times weekly or every second day) as 
soon as possible and no later than within 1 month.
5.3.2
Maximum dose
There is no maximum for the total daily dose of turoctocog alfa for the treatment of bleeds and 
surgery treatment. The maximum dose per injection must not exceed 100 IU/kg BW.

5.3.3
Prophylactic treatment
The frequency of dosing can be either every second day or 3 times weekly. The individual regimen 
is chosen by the investigator, taking into account the patient’s wishes, clinical status and readiness 
to comply with frequent dosing. The investigator can start up the patient on prophylaxis regimen at 
his/her discretion, e.g. dosing once weekly. However, regular prophylaxis regimen in accordance 
with the protocol should be implemented as soon as possible and no later than within a month. See 
Table 5–1 for the allowed dose ranges in the trial. The starting dose should be defined by the 
investigator within the recommended range based on clinical status and results of the PK evaluation 
where available. Dose adjustments can be made based on the patient’s clinical status (bleeding 
frequency). 
In order to further optimise the prophylaxis treatment effect in this trial, a starting dose of 30 IU/kg 
for children below the age of 12 years and 25 IU/kg for age equal to or above 12 years is 
recommended in this trial.
5.3.4
Treatment of bleeding episodes
Bleeds occurring during both the on-demand and in the prophylaxis treatment regimen will be 
treated with one or more turoctocog alfa i.v. bolus injections. The individual dose is determined by 
the investigator, using the recommendations in the World Federation of Haemophilia (WFH) 
guidelines10.
Dose (IU) = weight (kg) x desired factor level (IU/dl) x 0.5
Example: 50kg x 40IU/dl x 0.5 = 1000 IU of turoctocog alfa
In case of bleeding events, Table 5–2 as well as the WFH guideline10 may be used to guide dosing. 
FVIII activity should not fall below the lower range for the given plasma activity level (in % of 
normal or IU/dl) until the bleeding episode is resolved. As the guidelines are recommendations non-
compliance with them will not require protocol deviations. The maximum dose per injection
mentioned in this protocol must though be followed.

This formula may be used to calculate resulting factor levels:
IU/dl (or % of normal) = [Total Dose (IU)/BW (kg)] x 2 [IU/dl]/[IU/kg]
Example: 2000 IU x ([2 IU/dl]/[IU/kg]) / 70 kg = 57 IU/dl
A dose of 2000 IU administered to a 70 kg patient should result in a post-injection FVIII level 
increase of 57 IU/dl, or 57%.
The patient will be withdrawn from the trial in case he is treated with another FVIII product than 
turoctocog alfa, see section 6.4
Bleeding treatment should start as soon as a bleed is identified. The investigator should provide the 
patient in advance the doses needed to treat the bleed of different severities.
In case the patient suspects the bleed is severe it must be reported to the trial site if possible 
immediately or within 24 hours. See Table 8–6 for a definition of severe bleeds. Furthermore, if 
there is no haemostatic improvement within 24 hours of the first trial product injection, the patient 
or parent/caregiver should immediately contact the investigator for advice.
The investigator must always be contacted in case of bleeds that require treatment in a hospital 
setting and should be consulted for determination of dose and treatment duration if possible.
Recording into the diary should be made preferably within 24 hours from onset of the bleed to 
ensure as correct information as possible. Any dose used for treatment of an active bleed must be 
recorded as a treatment of a bleed. When symptoms of active bleeding have stopped (e.g. pain is 
reduced and no increase in swelling/swelling diminishes), the patient or parent/caregiver can 
resume the prophylactic treatment regimen if on prophylaxis. The timing of the next dose should be

according to the prophylaxis dosing schedule. For patients on on-demand treatment, taking 
occasional prophylaxis doses it is allowed after bleeds to prevent re-bleeding, or before physical 
activity. The decision to allow these treatments should be made by the investigator. These doses 
should be recorded in the diary as treatment taken for “other” reasons, and not as trial scheduled 
prophylactic treatment. The decision to allow this treatment and the duration should be made by the
investigator. 
5.3.5
Treatment of patients with low titer inhibitors
Patients with low titer inhibitors (≥ 0.6 BU and ≤ 5 BU) in the trial can be treated within the 
recommended dosing range for prophylaxis and treatment of bleeds according to section 5.3.3 and 
5.3.4. If the patients cannot respond well to treatment according to the protocol they must be 
withdrawn, see section 6.4.
Please see section 8.4.1 for the diagnosis of inhibitors.

Pharmacokinetic session
For PK sessions a dose of 50 ±5 IU/kg BW will be administered i.v. as a single bolus injection. The 
washout period before PK session will be dependent of the age, see Table 8–1.
5.3.7
Treatment during surgery
For dosing guidance in patients who need to undergo surgical procedures during the trial, 
investigators could refer to the below Table 5–3 and WFH guideline10. As the guidelines are 
recommendations non-compliance with them will not require any protocol deviations.

The specific treatment for each individual is decided by the investigator and the surgeon. Surgery 
can be done at the trial site, in another clinical department of the site, or at another hospital. If a 
surgery takes place at another location than at the trial site, the surgeon must be informed that the 
patient is participating in the trial, and the investigator should give instructions to the surgeon about
the dosing treatment, the handling of the trial product and the efficacy and safety evaluation. The

patient’s legally acceptable representative (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. Included in the trial in violation of the inclusion and/or exclusion criteria 
2. High titer FVIII inhibitor (>5 BU), confirmed by central laboratory
3. Patient with a low titer inhibitor (≥ 0.6 BU and ≤ 5 BU) and with a significantly reduced

6. Use of prohibited medication mentioned in section 8.2.2
7. Persistent non-compliance with trial procedures
Patients who are withdrawn will not be replaced.
In case the patient is withdrawn due to criteria 2, 3 and 4 the patient should be followed up at 
follow-up visits, see section 8.1.9.
6.5
Rationale for trial population
Patients with severe haemophilia A and a history of exposure to FVIII products are selected as the 
most suitable group for evaluation of immunogenicity in previously treated patients, which is one of 
the objectives of this trial. The patient population in this trial is similar to that in NN7008-3543 
(guardian™1). The main difference from the NN7008-3543 (guardian™1) trial is that this trial also 
includes paediatric population below 12 years, and the definition of PTP for patients equal to or 
above 12 years is 100 EDs and not 150 EDs. The reason for including paediatric population is to 
provide efficacy and safety data on Chinese PTPs covering paediatric, adolescent and adult 
population in order to support a New Drug Application (NDA) in China covering both children and 
adults. The reason for reducing 150 EDs to 100 EDs for PTPs aged ≥12 years is that, in China, most

haemophilia patients only receive on-demand treatment and many do not always receive treatment 
when bleeding. Consequently, only few younger patients may accumulate over 100 EDs. A recent 
survey conducted in big cities in China showed that only 1/3 of patients could get on demand 
treatment after every bleed, and very few patients could get prophylaxis treatment. The situation is 
expected to be worse in small cities.11
A history of inhibitors may be a risk factor for inhibitor development which could heighten the risk 
of inhibitor formation in the trial if not excluded. In order to avoid interference with 
immunogenicity assessment, only patients who are immunocompetent and currently without 
inhibitors to FVIII products are selected. These selection criteria are in accordance with the EMA 
guideline.6 Haemophilia patients in China are not routinely tested for inhibitors and therefore it will 
not be possible to guarantee that patients with no previous inhibitor tests have no inhibitor history. 
To minimise the risk of inhibitor development, patients with a known history of inhibitors will be 
excluded and an inhibitor test will be done at screening. Furthermore, only patients with 
documented long-term exposure to FVIII products will be enrolled. A risk of inhibitor development 
after 100 EDs for patients equal or older than 12 years and 50 EDs for patients below 12 years is 
deemed minimal, though it is known that de novo inhibitors may develop lifelong.9
Patients that are withdrawn from the trial due to inhibitor development will be followed up at 3 
follow-up visits scheduled with a month apart.

Milestones
Planned duration of recruitment period: First patient first visit until last patient first visit in the main 
trial (FPFV – LPFV in the main trial): 12 months
Planned FPFV: 15-Dec-2016
End of trial is defined as last patient last visit (LPLV):
!
Planned LPLV for the main phase of the trial: 15-Jun-2018
!
Planned LPLV for the extension phase of the trial: 15-Dec-2018
The total duration for a patient’s participation in the trial is expected to be 6 months in the main 
phase of the trial and at most 18 months in the extension phase of the trial or until turoctocog alfa is 
commercially available or until the marketing authorisation application is rejected in China or until 
the trial, part of the trial or a trial site is terminated by Novo Nordisk or by a relevant authority for 
any reason. In any event, the LPLV for the trial will be no later than 18 months from FPLV in the 
main trial, which is planned to be the 15-Dec-2018 whether or not the product is commercially 
available in China.
If a patient has not finalised the main phase at the time of the cut off for the main CTR they will be 
moved to the extension phase of the trial and thus will not have 6 months in the main phase of the 
trial. See Figure 16–1
Recruitment:
The different age groups in the PK and main phase of the trial will be open for recruitment from the 
beginning of the trial. The extension phase will first open for a patient when he has finalised the 
main phase. 
Trial registration:
Information of the trial will be disclosed at www.clinicaltrials.gov, www.chinadrugtrials.org.cn and
www.novonordisk-trials.com. 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) 12, the Food and Drug Administration 
Amendment Act (FDAAA) 13, European Commission Regulation for EudraCT 14 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. The registry requires only full details concerning the principal investigator. 
For the participating sites only the name of the hospital/organisation and the province and the city 
must be entered.

A child assent form may be provided to children. The child assent 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 his ability to assent throughout the trial.
Treatment in general
Trial product injection can be performed at all visits except at the screening visit. A trial product 
injection at visit 2 must be performed at the trial site to assess if the patient or parent/caregiver can 
handle the trial product injection both for patients on the on-demand and prophylaxis regimen. If 
assessed necessary, training sessions must be planned for and documented in the patient’s medical 
records.
If injection of trial product is performed between scheduled visits at the trial site, this must be 
recorded at an unscheduled visit.
A washout period of trial product is necessary in order to ensure that there is no interference of the 
trial product with the assay, see Table 8–1.

Withdrawn patients
If a patient is withdrawn from the trial, the investigator must aim to undertake procedures similar to 
the end of trial visit as soon as possible. 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 call must be performed in IWRS and the case book must be signed in the eCRF.
Although a patient is not obliged to give his 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 for not completing the trial must be specified on 
the end-of-trial form in the eCRF.

must also be collected, if the patient or parent/LAR agrees to this. The informed consent for
genotyping can be obtained later in the main trial and at the latest before sampling for genotyping.
For all patients with a signed Informed Consent, the patient will be assigned a unique 6 digits 
patient number, which will follow the patient throughout the trial. It must be stated in the medical 
records that the patient is participating in the trial, including the patient number.
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 this visit the patient’s medical history must be recorded using the patient’s current medical 
journal and the patient’s current medical status will also be evaluated. Furthermore the patient will 
be preliminary evaluated for enrolment by examining the inclusion and exclusion criteria against 
the above information. The final evaluation for enrolment will be performed at the next visit, visit 2 
using the laboratory results taken at this visit. Furthermore an inhibitor test and FVIII baseline level 
will be performed so the patient must withhold FVIII treatment for 48 hours prior to this visit to 
ensure there is no interference of a FVIII product with the assay.
At screening, the patient or parent/LAR will be provided with a card stating that they are
participating in a trial and giving contact address(es) and telephone number(s) of relevant trial site 
staff. Patients should be instructed to return the card to the investigator at the last trial visit or to 
destroy the card after the last visit.
The diary must be handed out to the patient or parent/caregiver and training must be done. The 
investigator should train in how to record and change information in the diary and that the patient or 
parent/caregiver should record in the diary preferably within 24 hours after a bleed has occurred or 
after the treatment has been injected (after visit 2) to ensure as accurate information as possible.
The assessments to be performed at this visit are listed in section 2.

Screening failures
For screening failures the screening failure form must be completed with the reason for not 
continuing in the trial. Follow-up of SAEs must be carried out according to section 11.
A screening failure call must be made in the IWRS and the case book must be signed in the eCRF. 
Re-sampling or re-screening is not allowed if the patient has failed to meet one of the inclusion or 
exclusion criteria related to laboratory parameters.

8.1.2
Visit 2 
The visit must be scheduled 14 days after the screening visit with a window of 4 days. This is to 
allow sufficient time for the arrival of the laboratory reports as all results necessary for evaluation
of the inclusion and exclusion criteria must be available before determining whether or not the 
patient can continue in the trial.
The main purpose of visit 2 is to inject the trial product the first time after the final evaluation of the 
inclusion and exclusion criteria and to assess the patient’s medical status after the first dose of 
turoctocog alfa. This is also applicable for patients on the on-demand regimen and will need to 
record this dose as another dose. The investigator must also hand out the diary and train how to use 
it. Furthermore the visit can also be attended for PK assessments, see section 8.1.2.1.
It is not possible to change between the prophylactic and on-demand regimen during the main 
phase. (Please see 5.3.1 for exemption of patients with low titer inhibitor) It is possible to switch 
between the 2 different prophylactic dosing frequencies at a visit to the trial site in the main phase. 
However, if the patient changes regimen from three times weekly to every second day the site 
should contact the monitor at least seven days before the next scheduled visit so as to ensure there is 
sufficient trial product at site.

An unscheduled visit can be performed after the screening visit has been performed. Unscheduled 
visits can also be performed at the surgery day and during the post-operative surgery period. The 
date and time of the unscheduled visits must be recorded in the eCRF.
The main reason for the unscheduled visits is to record information that is important for this trial
that do not occur during the scheduled visits. This information can be laboratory tests, dosing 
adjustments, a dose injection or for determination of half-life in case the patient has a low titer 
inhibitor (≥0.6 BU and ≤5 BU), lab samples to confirm a positive inhibitor test or a PK before 
surgery. Please note that AEs, withdrawal criteria and concomitant medication must be assessed at 
every unscheduled visit. Phone calls should not be recorded as an unscheduled visit as the patient 
have not visited the trial site, but information regarding the call must be recorded in the medical 
records.
Unscheduled visits can be performed to dispense additional trial product during the day of surgery 
and the post-operative period.
The assessments that can be performed at this visit are listed in section 2.

Concomitant illness and medical history
A concomitant illness is any illness that is present at the start of the trial (i.e. at the first visit, 
screening visit).
Medical history is a medical event that the patient has experienced in the past. Historical bleeding 
episodes should not be recorded in medical history as this will be collected in another eCRF form 
called “Haemophilia treatment and bleeding history”.
The information collected for concomitant illness and medical history should include diagnosis, 
date of onset and date of resolution or continuing, as applicable.
Any change to a concomitant illness should be recorded during the trial. A clinically significant 
worsening of a concomitant illness must be reported as an AE.
8.2.2
Concomitant medication
A concomitant medication is any medication, other than the trial products, which is taken during 
the trial, including the screening period.
Details of any concomitant medication must be recorded at the first visit. Changes in concomitant 
medication must be recorded at each visit as they occur.

Assessments for efficacy
To ensure standardisation of methods across the trial sites, definitions for evaluation of bleeding 
episodes, such as the haemostatic evaluation, are provided in this protocol.
All assessments used in this trial are widely used and are standard assessments used for care of 
haemophilia A patients.
8.3.1
Bleeding episodes
During the entire trial period all bleeding episodes treated with turoctocog alfa or another 
haemostatic medication must be entered in the diary, see section 8.6.2. Bleeding episodes which do 
not require treatment can also be entered in the diary
The following will be recorded in the diary for bleeding episodes:
!
Date and time of start of bleed
!
Date and time of stop of bleed, see Table 8–4
!
Anatomical location of the bleeding episode (Joint, muscle, skin, stomach (gastrointestinal 
bleeding), mucosal (mouth, gums, nose), urinary system, central nervous system, other)
–
If joint is chosen: knee, ankle, wrist, fingers, elbow, shoulder, hip, toes, jaw
–
If muscle or skin is chosen: arm, leg, hand, buttocks, head/neck, chest, back, stomach, foot
!
Anatomical position of body part (left, right)
!
Classification of bleed (spontaneous, traumatic, surgical)
!
Severity category (mild/moderate or severe), see Table 8–6 Only evaluated by site
!
Haemostatic treatment (turoctocog alfa or other treatment to achieve haemostasis)
!
Non-medical therapy used
!
Clinical evaluation of the haemostasis (Excellent, Good, Moderate or None) – only for bleeds 
treated with turoctocog alfa, see Table 8–5
Table 8–4
Definition of stop of bleed
Stop time is:
When the patient/parent or LAR experiences/observes signs of cessation of the active bleed such as; pain relief, no 
increase in swelling/limitation of motion and improvement in other objective signs of the bleeding episode
Stop time is not:
When pain and objective signs of the bleeding episode are completely resolved

Severe
Major bleeds that require hospitalisation; 
intracranial, retroperitoneal, iliopsoas and internal 
neck bleeds; muscle bleeds with compartment 
syndrome; bleeds associated with a significant 
decrease in the haemoglobin level (>3g/dl). 
Traumatic bleeds at other locations than described 
above can always be considered severe at the 
investigators discretion. 
These bleeding episodes must be treated 
immediately at home or at the local

Re-bleed
Classification will be done by Novo Nordisk as part of the statistical analysis based on bleeding 
information: Re-bleed is defined as a bleed (worsening of bleeding site conditions e.g. swelling, 
pain) within 72 hours after stopping of a previous bleed at the same (or subset of the same)
anatomical location. If a bleed occurs in the same location 72 hours after stopping, the 
treatment is defined as a new bleeding episode

Target joint assessment will be performed at visit 1 and visit 8 in the main phase of the trial and at 
the assessment and end of trial visit in the extension part of the trial. 
8.3.4
Pharmacokinetics
PK at visit 2 will take 48 hours for patients who are 12 years and older and will take 24 hours for 
children below the age of 12 years, see Table 2–2 for the specific sampling time points. Only the 
pre-dose sample can be taken with other samples if they have to be performed before dosing. This 
PK can also be performed for surgery patients. The patients that perform a PK at visit 2 must also 
perform a recovery test at visit 8 (see 8.5.2.3) with the same dose as at visit 2.
A determination of the half-life by sampling at different time points will be performed at an 
unscheduled visit for patients that have a low titer inhibitor (≥ 0.6 BU and ≤ 5 BU) see section 
8.4.2.1. 
CRP must be sampled before dosing for PK, see section 8.5.2.2, to ensure accurate interpretation of 
PK results (e.g. in case measurements are affected by inflammation or infection).
The vein used for injection of trial product must not be used for blood sampling until more than 30 
minutes after the injection, i.e., cannot be used for the 30 minutes post-dose sample.
The PK sampling should be rescheduled if any of the following applies:
!
Major surgery performed 1 month prior to PK
!
Use of FVIII product prior to PK, see Table 8–1 for the age dependent washout periods
!
Illness or fever 48 hours prior to PK
!
In a bleeding state that requires treatment with haemostatic agent
If a treatment-requiring bleeding episode interferes with PK sampling and assessments, 
rescheduling of PK sessions can be done at the discretion of the investigator taking the patient’s 
safety and the bleeding episode severity into account.
The PK dose is 50 ±5 IU/kg BW of trial product and the lines/tubes must be flushed immediately, 
with 2-5ml sodium chloride, after administration of the trial product.
The injection stop time of the PK dose is time 0.
FVIII activity will be analysed by using a chromogenic and a one stage FVIII clotting assay and
both assays are validated.

The remainder of the PK sample will, after the initial analysis, be used for further research. A 
separate informed consent will be requested for this. See further information in section 8.5.3.6 and 
8.5.3.7 for handling of the stored samples
A final draft bio-analytical report from the laboratory for PK analyses must be available at database 
lock to Novo Nordisk.
The parameters that will be calculated using the PK sampling at visit 2 is shown in Table 8–8.
Table 8–8
Definition of PK parameters
Parameter
Description
Calculation
t½ (hours)
Terminal half-life
t½ = ln(2) / λz, where λz is the terminal elimination 
rate. The terminal elimination rate will be estimated 
using linear regression on the terminal part of the 
time vs. log(concentration) curve
AUClast 
((IU*h)/mL)
Area under the plasma concentration vs. 
time curve from time zero to the last 
measurable concentration
AUClast is calculated using the linear trapezoidal 
method from time 0 to the time for the last 
measurable concentration. The concentration at time 
0 will be estimated by log-linear extrapolation of the 
two initial post-administration concentrations (see 
below) and used in the calculation of AUClast.
Incremental 
Recovery 
((IU/mL)/(IU/kg))
Peak level recorded 30 min. after end of 
infusion, adjusted for pre-administration 
concentration ([IU/mL]/[IU/kg]) 
The incremental recovery is calculated as (FVIII:C 
activity measured in plasma 30 min after dosing -
FVIII:C activity measured in plasma immediately 
before dosing) / (dose injected at time 0 min), where 
the dose is expressed as IU FVIII product per kg 
BW.
AUC0-inf
Area under the concentration vs. time from 
time curve zero to infinity
AUC0-inf = AUClast + (C(t) / λz),
where C(t)  is the last measurable concentration. 
AUC%Extrap
The extrapolated part of AUC0-inf
100·(C(t) / λz)/AUC0-inf. . This is not a PK parameter. 
It is only a description of the extent of extrapolation 
in the AUC calculation.
Cmax (IU/mL)
The maximal concentration 
The maximal observed concentration. Note that this 
will likely be obtained at the first measurement and 
will be sensitive to deviations from the scheduled 
sampling time. This limits the value of this 
parameter, especially when comparing to other 
studies. 
CL
(mL/h/kg)
Total plasma clearance of drug after 
intravenous administration
CL= Dose / AUC0-inf

Parameter
Description
Calculation
MRT (hours)
Mean Residence Time
MRT = AUMC/AUC0-inf, where AUMC is the area 
under the first moment curve, i.e. the area under the 
curve t∙C(t) , calculated with the same method as 
AUC (linear trapezoidal method + extrapolated 
area). 
Vss
Apparent volume of distribution at 
equilibrium
Vss = CL ∙ MRT
Vz
Apparent volume of distribution based on 
the terminal phase
Vz = CL/λz
C(0)
The estimated concentration at time 0 (end 
of infusion), given that the dose was given 
as an instantaneous bolus.
C(0) will be calculated by log-linear extrapolation of 
the two initial post-administration concentrations. If 
the second value is not lower than the first value, 
C(0) will be defined as the highest of these two.

Surgery
For patients who require surgery during the trial, relevant treatment and assessment will be 
performed and recorded. The treatment regimen will be given by the investigator or surgeon 
(guided by the investigator), see Table 5–3. 
The following data must be recorded for surgery, see Table 8–9. Minor and emergency surgery

Emergency surgery is allowed in this trial if adequate supply of trial product is available. . The 
investigator can decide which trial assessments can be made in an emergency situation, except for 
the above information mentioned in the “Emergency minor/major surgery” column.
The patient must be withdrawn from the trial in case he is treated with another FVIII concentrates
than turoctocog alfa during the surgery, please see the allowed products during surgery in section 
8.2.1. Also patients with a low titer inhibitor (≥0.6BU and≤5BU) must be withdrawn from the trial 
if they need surgery.
The patient may have a PK (see 8.3.4) performed before the surgery at an unscheduled visit at the 
discretion of the investigator.
A negative inhibitor test result and a satisfactory recovery test from central laboratory must be 
performed prior to the surgery day. It is expected that 2 weeks is the approximate time for 
laboratory results to be analysed and reported from central laboratory. If this cannot be achieved 
with a scheduled visit, then the patient must be called in for an unscheduled visit. An exception 
from this is emergency surgery.
Only 10 planned major surgeries in total may be performed during the main phase of the trial, after 
this all planned surgeries must be performed in the extension phase of the trial.

Definition
Major surgery 
is any invasive operative procedure where any one or more of the following occur
!
A body cavity is entered.
!
A mesenchymal barrier (e.g. pleura, peritoneum or dura) is crossed.
!
A fascial plane is opened.
!
An organ is removed.
!
Normal anatomy is operatively altered
These procedures may be performed using general anaesthesia, spinal anaesthesia, epidural 
anaesthesia, conscious sedation or with a combination of these modalities
Minor surgery 
is any invasive operative procedure in which only skin, mucous membranes, or superficial 
connective tissue is manipulated. Examples of minor surgery include vascular cutdown for 
catheter/fistula placement, implanting pumps or CVAD in subcutaneous tissue, biopsies or 
placement of probes, leads, or catheters requiring the entry into a body cavity only through a 
needle/guidewire.
Dental surgery will be classified as minor or major based on above definitions

Patient reported outcomes
Disease and age specific health related quality of life (HRQOL) will be collected through use of the 
patient reported outcome (PRO) instruments HAEM-A-QOL (for adults) and HAEMO-QOL (for 
children/adolescents and their parents) at visit 2 and 8 in the main phase of the trial and in the 
assessment visit, though only annually and at the end of trial visit in the extension phase of the trial.

The patient’s age at the time when he or his parent/LAR signs the informed consent, determines 
which age group he belongs to and consequently which PRO questionnaire that should be used
throughout the trial. The same PRO questionnaire should be used during the whole trial including in 
the extension phase and even if the patient grows into another age group during the conduct of the 
trial. If parents/caregiver stop accompanying a patient to visits they do not have to fill in the 
HAEMO-QOL parent version.
The questionnaires were originally developed in UK in English and have been translated and 
linguistically validated into simplified Chinese. The questionnaire must be filled in at visits 2 and 
end of trial in the main phase. In the extension phase it must be filled in annually and at the end of 
trial visit, preferably before any other trial-related procedures.

When PROs are filled in by the patient, these must be reviewed by the investigator to ensure that 
AEs, including any overall change in health and concomitant medication, are reported, see section
11. This review must be documented in the patient's medical record.
If clarification of entries or discrepancies in the PROs is needed, the patient must be questioned and 
a conclusion made in the patient's medical record. Care must be taken not to bias the patient.
The completed PRO questionnaires (top page) must be sent to data management in India by the

Assessments for safety
To ensure standardisation of safety assessment across trial sites a centralised laboratory is used for 
most laboratory assays, except for trough and recovery values analysed at the local laboratory to 
ensure fast laboratory results. Trough and recovery values will also be analysed at the central 
laboratory.
All the safety assessments are standard assessments widely used for haemophilia care.
The evaluations must follow the categories:
!
Normal
!
Abnormal
–
Was the result clinically significant? (Yes/No)

FVIII inhibitors
FVIII inhibitors will be measured at every scheduled visit in the main phase. In the extension phase 
of the trial, inhibitors will be measured at every assessment visit, i.e. at least twice annually. If there 
is any suspicion of FVIII inhibitor development FVIII inhibitors must be measured at an 
unscheduled visit. At visit 1 the inhibitor test will be taken for baseline characteristics and must be 
used for the assessment of exclusion criteria, see section 6.3. 
Analysis for FVIII inhibitors will be carried out at a central laboratory using the Nijmegen modified 
Bethesda assay. A positive inhibitor test is defined as ≥0.6 Bethesda Unit (BU).

If FVIII inhibitor development is suspected by increased number of bleeding episodes, bleeding 
episodes difficult to treat and/or peak and trough levels below expected values, a Nijmegen 
modified Bethesda test must be performed. In addition, a recovery test must also be performed, 
because the decrease of recovery may indicate an early signal of inhibitor development. If the result 
of the modified Bethesda test is positive, another sample must be collected for a confirmatory 
Nijmegen modified Bethesda assay at an unscheduled visit preferably within 2 weeks and not later 
than 4 weeks of the first positive test result from central lab. The diagnosis of inhibitor is made if 
the patient has been tested positive for inhibitors (≥0.6 BU) at two consecutive tests at central lab. 
If the first FVIII inhibitor test is positive, a lupus anticoagulant (see section 8.5.3.5) must be 
sampled with the second sampling for a confirmatory FVIII inhibitor test at an unscheduled visit. 
These samples should preferably be sampled prior to any change of treatment. The dose taken at the 
confirmatory visit is preferable the same as a prophylaxis dose or at the discretion of the 
investigator.  
Blood sampling for FVIII inhibitor test must be performed after a 48 hours washout period since 
last dosing with trial product.
If the second confirmatory test is positive (≥0.6 BU), but below or equal to 5 BU the patient has a 
low titer inhibitor, but can continue in the trial. This may only occur if the investigator evaluates 
that the patient can be treated with turoctocog alfa within the recommended dosing range for 
prophylaxis and treatment of bleeds according to section 5.3. A trough and recovery test and a 
FVIII activity tests at 60 and 240 min after dosing (see Table 8–15 and section 8.3.4) must be 
performed at an unscheduled visit as soon as possible and at every scheduled visit hereafter a FVIII 
trough and recovery test must be taken in the main phase. In the extension phase a patient with a 
low titer inhibitor must take an inhibitor, trough and recovery test at the assessment, dispensing and 
at an unscheduled visits every month.

All laboratory assessments will be analysed at a central laboratory. The FVIII trough and recovery 
test will though both be analysed at the central and local laboratory, except at the follow-up visits, 
were it only will be analysed at the central laboratory. Normal ranges from the local laboratory will 
not be collected, as FVIII results will not be evaluated against the normal ranges. All FVIII activity 
analysed centrally will be analysed using the one-stage FVIII clotting activity assay and a two-stage 
chromogenic, but only the one-stage clothing activity assay result will be reported to the 
investigator. 
Laboratory results are considered as source data and must be signed and dated by the investigator to 
verify that the data has been reviewed and that any AEs have been reported. 
Storage handling and disposition of samples analysed at local laboratories will be performed 
according to local laboratory procedures. Laboratory data from the central laboratory will be 
reported to Novo Nordisk electronically, and in a manner that anonymity of patients will be 
maintained. 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. For description of procedures for obtaining samples and for storage, handling and 
disposition of specimens, see the laboratory manual.
The local trough and recovery results will not be listed in the clinical trial report (CTR), except in 
possible narratives/text. Furthermore the results of the future research (Biospecimen), the antibody 
characterisation and possibly the non-neutralising antibodies will not be reported in the CTR as they 
will be available after the trial is final and therefore reported in separate reports and appended to the 
CTR later.
8.5.1
Blood sampling volume
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)15. The total volume of blood is estimated at 80 to 90 ml/kg body weight; 
1% is 0.8 ml blood per kg body weight. 15
The total volume of blood to be collected for each patient per visit will not exceed 20 mL, of which 
4 mL is for genotyping and 8 mL for the exploratory sample. For the adults performing PK an extra 
30 mL over 3 days will be sampled.
For the smallest children the total volume of blood to be collected for each patient per visit will not 
exceed 10 mL, of which 3 mL is for genotyping. For the smallest children performing PK an extra 6
mL over 2 days will be sampled. If this is exceeding 1% of the child’s blood volume then the blood 
volume must be decreased.

Detailed instructions will be provided to the trial sites regarding blood sampling volumes depending 
on age and prioritisation of the samples which must be used for infants and children. 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. As an example the investigator can 
decide to postpone the CD4+ blood sampling at the screening visit until after the HIV test result has 
arrived. It will be necessary however, to call the patient in for an extra blood sampling visit in case 
the chid is HIV positive.
It is recommended not to attempt venepuncture more than 3 times for the purpose of obtaining 
sufficient blood sampling for children 12 years and younger. Documentation of this must be 
available in medical records.
CVADs should preferably not be used for blood sampling due to risk of contamination and dilution.
However, if it is used the CVAD must be locked with saline between blood sampling for PK 
sessions or pre- and post-dose samples. The following guideline must be adhered to:
When locked with saline:
!
Flush the CVAD with 5 ml saline
!
Discard as minimum 5 ml blood (2 x dead space)
!
Take the blood sample
When locked with heparin:
!
Flush the CVAD with 5 ml saline
!
Discard as a minimum 15 ml blood (6 x dead space)
!
Take the blood sample and/or Lock with saline in preparation for blood sample
The discard blood sampled must not be re-infused to the patient due to the risk of clots and other 
side effects.

China. The analysis method for local assessment of FVIII activity for trough and recovery will be 
recorded in the eCRF at visit 1.
FVIII baseline level:
In order to establish the severity of haemophilia A, a baseline FVIII level must be taken at visit 1. 
The result of this laboratory test must be used for the assessment of an inclusion criterion, please

Hepatitis C
–
RNA viral load
In case Hepatitis C is positive a RNA viral load will be performed to evaluate whether a chronic
Hepatitis C disease is present.
If the patient has a previous positive Hepatitis B or C test or a Hepatitis B and C test that has been 
performed within 6 months, the result can be transcribed into the eCRF and the above test do not 
need to be performed.
If the patient has during the trial been injected with a product that may contain any risk of hepatitis 
infection a test for hepatitis must be performed at the next injection of trial product. If a local test 
for hepatitis has been performed before injection of the product this must be recorded in the eCRF.

HIV viral load
If the patient has a previous positive HIV result or a HIV test that has been performed within 6
months, the result can be transcribed into the eCRF and the above test do not need to be performed.
In case the patient is HIV positive, the result of the viral load must be used for the assessment of an 
exclusion criterion, see section 6.3.
If the patient has during the trial been injected with a product that may contain any risk of HIV 
infection a test for HIV must be performed before the next injection of trial product. If a local test 
for hepatitis has been performed before injection of the product this must be recorded in the eCRF.

In case the patient is HIV positive the result of this laboratory test must be used for the assessment 
of an exclusion criterion, see section 6.3. 
8.5.3.4
Genotype
Genotype tests is optional in this trial and can only be performed after a separate informed consent 
has been signed, see section 17.2. The blood sample for the test can be taken at any visits in the 
main phase, but it is recommended to sample for genotype at visit 2. Note that the test can only be 
analysed once.
!
FVIII genotyping
!
HLA genotyping
Some HLA genotypes have been reported to have a promoting and others a preventive effect on the 
development of inhibitors in haemophilia A, so the HLA genotype test will further characterize 
genetic factors which determine the patient’s immune response to the FVIII treatment.16 17 18 19
The FVIII and HLA genotype test will only characterise the genes in relation to haemophilia A and 
those related to immune response in haemophilia.
All test results are kept strictly confidential and the patient, investigator or parent/LAR has the right 
to refuse genotyping. This will not prevent the patient to continue participation in the trial.
8.5.3.5
Coagulation parameters, Lupus Anticoagulant
Lupus anticoagulant is tested at visit 2 and at an unscheduled visit with the second confirmatory 
FVIII inhibitor test in case the patient has a first positive FVIII inhibitor test to assure that a 
possible positive inhibitor result is correct and not a false positive.
!
Lupus Anticoagulant 
8.5.3.6
Biospecimen sample
In order to explore immunogenicity (section 8.4.2.2 and 8.5.3.4), and perform further PK analysis
of turoctocog alfa the remaining part of the blood sample for antibodies and PK will be stored for a 
longer period. Furthermore an additional blood sample will be drawn to perform future research
(marked in the flow chart in section 2 as biospecimen sample), as new biomarkers or analytic 
methods may evolve during the conduct of the trial or after the trial, the analyses of the stored 
human bio-specimens may also include biomarkers that are unknown at present or have not been 
included in the scientific hypotheses at initiation of the trial.

directly informed by Novo Nordisk about the results if the findings are deemed clinically relevant 
and analytically valid and quantifiable. In such case, a written summary of the findings, including 
listings of patient specific values, will be provided once a firm conclusion from the results has been 
drawn by Novo Nordisk. Potentially, observations of neoplastic diseases, serious genetically 
hereditary diseases, other un-treatable diseases, or any other abnormal findings could be part of the
observations. Patients may at any time contact the investigator if they wish to be informed about 
these results.
8.5.3.7
Retention of blood samples
Storage and disposition of samples analysed at local laboratories will be performed according to 
local laboratory procedures.
Biospecimen samples (see section 8.5.3.6) will be collected and stored at a Novo Nordisk appointed 
referral bio-repository. All biospecimens will be shipped out of China except the extra sample 
marked as biospecimen in the flowchart, please see Table 2–1. The patient’s identity will remain 
confidential and samples will only be marked and identified by a unique sample ID. No direct 
identification will be stored together with the samples, so the patient’s identity will remain 
confidential and the analyses will not have any medical consequences for the patient or their 
relatives.
The samples will be stored for up to 15 years from end of the trial, where after all samples will be 
destroyed according to standard operating procedures at the bio-repository.

Trial material
8.6.1
Trial card
At visit 1 the patient or parent/LAR will receive a trial card stating that the patient is participating in 
a clinical trial. Telephone numbers and contact persons at the trial site will be listed.
8.6.2
Diary
The patient or parent/LAR will be provided with a diary for recording of bleeding episodes and the 
home treatment hereof. All the treatments, including treatment of bleeds and any surgery treatment 
administered at home must also be recorded in the diary see section 8.3.1. All bleeding episodes 
including the bleeding episodes that are experienced while at site must be recorded in the diary. At 
visit 1, the patient or parent/caregiver will receive the first diary and they will be trained in the use 
by the investigator.
The diary is split into a bleed and treatment diary. The patient will only receive one bleed diary for 
the whole trial but will receive many treatment diaries during the trial. The treatment diary must be 
returned at every scheduled visit and a new treatment diary will be handed out to the patient or 
parent/caregiver. Only the filled in pages in the bleed diary needs to be returned to the site at each 
scheduled visit. During trial site visits, the diary must be reviewed together with the patient or 
parent/LAR and evaluate together with the patient the correctness of the haemostatic efficacy for 
treatment of bleeds. The severity rating of the bleeding episode and the treatment type must be 
entered by the trial site staff, if necessary into the diary. Afterwards the diary data must be recorded 
in the eCRF by the investigator
Patient diaries must be reviewed by the investigator at every scheduled visit to ensure that AEs, 
including any change in health and concomitant medication, are reported. Furthermore the diary 
must also be reviewed for accuracy, completeness and consistency with the requirements defined in 
this protocol, see section 8.7. This review must be documented in the patient's medical record.
Only the patient or parent/LAR is allowed to change entries in the diary except for the severity 
rating and treatment type if they are entered into the diary by the site. If corrections are made, a 
straight line must be drawn through the incorrect data and the correct entry must be written next to 
the data that was crossed out with the patient number, dated and explained (if necessary). The date 
format must be DD-MM-YY (e.g. 01-O1-13) 
If clarification of entries or discrepancies in the diary that are entered by the patient is needed, the 
patient must be questioned and a conclusion made in the patient's medical record. Care must be 
taken not to bias the patient. A correction is done by both changing the entry in the paper diary and 
the entry in the eCRF.

8.6.3
Dispensing of trial product
At all visits, after visit 1, trial product will/can be handed out to the patient or parent/LAR which
will cover the patient’s need for trial product until the next visit. Trial product can though not be 
handed out at the end of the trial and at follow-up visits.
A dispensing session must be performed in the IWRS, see section 10. See section 9 for how the trial 
product must be stored.
8.6.4
Home treatment training
Home treatment training with injection of turoctocog alfa can start after injections of the first dose 
at the trial site, and should continue until the patient or parent/LAR is comfortable with the 
reconstitution and injection process. The training must be documented in the medical records.
A home treatment guide for the reconstitution and injection process must be handed-out to the 
patient or parent/LAR at every dispensing visit.
If the patient does not follow the planned dosing schedule, the investigator must retrain the patient
or parent/LAR if they are performing home treatment.
8.7
Patient compliance
Throughout the trial the investigator will remind the patients 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 of the importance of following the instructions given including 
taking the trial products as prescribed. Full compliance with protocol procedures is expected in this 
trial. If the investigator concludes that the bleeds a patient experiences are due to exceeded time
between doses, the investigator must retrain the patient or caregiver.
Failure of compliance with scheduled visits and trial product injection may result in withdrawal in 
accordance with the protocol withdrawal criteria, see section 6.4.
The investigator must check the patient’s compliance by reviewing the diary data to check if the 
home treatment is administered in the frequency prescribed by the investigator and also if the 
questions are understood, accurate and complete. Furthermore the investigator must during drug 
accountability compare the drug consumption in the diary with the number of used vials.

The IWRS will allocate all trial products DUN (dispensing unit number) to the patient at each 
dispensing visit. The correct DUNs according to the dispensing session in IWRS must be dispensed 
to the patient and recorded in the Drug Accountability module by the investigator or delegated 
person after they have been handed out to the patient. 
Unused trial product must be stored separately from used trial product.
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 
returned and lost DUNs (except Sodium Chloride) must be recorded in the Drug Accountability 
module by the investigator or delegated person.
It will not be possible for sites to perform drug accountability for the solvent syringes, thus no drug 
accountability will be performed for Sodium Chloride. 
Destruction will be done according to local procedures after accountability is finalised and verified 
by the monitor. Destruction of products must be documented using the IWRS, with the exception of 
Sodium Chloride.

11 Adverse events and technical complaints
11.1
Definitions
Adverse event 
An 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:
!
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 patient has signed the informed consent.
!
Disease related bleeds and other symptoms (e.g. pain, swelling, synovitis, arthralgia, injection 
site haematoma) in connection to bleeds that is evaluated by the investigator as part of the 
underlying disease should not be reported as AEs or SAEs unless evaluated by the investigator 
as related to trial product. In case of fatal/life-threatening outcome, the bleeding episode must be 
reported as a SAE. All bleeds and other symptoms related to the underlying disease will be 
captured in the medical records or diary.
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.

The following terms are used when assessing the relationship between an AE and the relevant trial 
product(s): 
–
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.
If the patient has been exposed to both vial strengths then causality needs to be rated against both 
vial strengths.
!
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 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 sequela - 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 sequela" 
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 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.

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 (e.g. 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 dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in hospitalisation, or development of drug 
dependency or drug abuse.
The following adverse events must always be reported as an SAE using the important medical event 
criterion if no other seriousness criteria are applicable:
!
suspicion of transmission of infectious agents via the trial product
!
risk of liver injury defined as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase 
(AST) >3 x UNL and total bilirubin >2 x UNL, where no alternative aetiology exists (Hy's 
law).
–
inhibitor development confirmed by two consecutive FVIII positive inhibitor tests (≥0.6
BU)
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.

–
Injection of wrong drug or use of wrong device
–
Wrong route of injection, such as intramuscular instead of intravenous
–
Injection of an overdose with the intention to cause harm (e.g. suicide attempt)
–
Accidental injection 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 FVIII
–
If an investigator obtains any indication of inhibitor formation by clinical signs or local 
laboratory results, it must be reported as a MESI
–
Blood samples for measurement of FVIII inhibitors will be analysed at the central 
laboratory selected by Novo Nordisk and if the first test is positive (≥0.6 BU) a MESI must 
be reported by the investigator
–
A second consecutive FVIII inhibitor test must be performed if the first test is positive –
sampled preferably within 2 weeks. The results of the second confirmatory inhibitor test 
must be reported as follow up to the MESI already reported regardless of the resultIn case 
the patient stays in the trial with a positive inhibitor test, but <5 BU all subsequent inhibitor 
test must be reported as follow-up to the SAE
–
In case the patient is withdrawn, and continues with follow-up visits, all the inhibitor tests at 
these visits must be reported as follow-up to the SAE
3. Allergic reaction including anaphylaxis reaction as defined in Table 11–1. 
–
Allergic reactions included but not limited to any acute immunoglubulin E (IgE) medicated 
reaction or delayed type hypersensitivity (clinical signs may include various types of skin 
rashes) that do not meet the definition of anaphylaxis as described in Table 11–1 All 
hypersensitivity reactions reported as MESI will be followed up with a hypersensitivity 
questionnaire

Table 11–1
Definition as per the reference by Sampson et al 200621
Anaphylaxis is highly likely when any one of the following 3 criteria are fulfilled:
Acute onset of an illness (minutes to several hours) with involvement of the skin, mucosal tissue, or both (eg, 
generalized hives, pruritus or flushing, swollen lips-tongue-uvula) and at least one of the following:
–
Respiratory compromise (eg, dyspnea, wheeze-bronchospasm, stridor, reduced PEF, hypoxemia)
–
Reduced BP or associated symptoms of end-organ dysfunction (eg, 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):
–
Involvement of the skin-mucosal tissue (eg, generalized hives, itch-flush, swollen lips-tongue-uvula)
–
Respiratory compromise (eg, dyspnea, wheeze-bronchospasm, stridor, reduced PEF, hypoxemia)
–
Reduced BP or associated symptoms (eg, hypotonia [collapse], syncope, incontinence)
–
Persistent gastrointestinal symptoms (eg, crampy abdominal pain, vomiting)
3. Reduced BP after exposure to known allergen for that patient (minutes to several hours):
–
Infants and children: low systolic BP (age specific) or greater than 30% decrease in systolic BP*
–
Adults: systolic BP of less than 90 mm Hg or greater than 30% decrease from that person’s baseline Peak 
expiratory flow (PRG);  blood pressure (BP).
*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 + [2 x age]) from 1 to 10 years, and less than 90 mm Hg from 11 to 17 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 products (e.g. discoloration, particles or 
contamination)
!
All packaging material including labelling
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 has signed the informed consent until the end of 
the post-treatment follow-up period (last follow-up visit). The events must be recorded in the 
applicable eCRF or CRF (case report forms) in a timely manner, see timelines below and Figure 
11–1.
During each contact with the trial site staff, the patient must be asked about AEs and technical 
complaints, for example by asking: "Have you experienced any problems since the last contact?"

The patient or parent/LAR should though only be asked about technical complaints if they inject the 
trial product at home. 
All AEs, observed either by the investigator or by the patient, must be reported by the investigator 
and evaluated. Novo Nordisk assessment of expectedness is performed according to the following 
reference document: Current version of Investigator's Brochure5 and any updates thereto.
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 individual AEs using separate AE forms.
For SAEs, a safety information form must be completed in addition to the AE form. If several 
symptoms or diagnoses occur as part of the same clinical picture, one safety information form can 
be used to describe all the SAEs. 
MESIs, regardless of seriousness, must be reported using both the AE form (by ticking of the MESI 
criterion) and the safety information form.
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 CRF/eCRF within the specified 
timelines:
!
SAEs: The AE form in the eCRF within 24 hours and the paper safety information form (SIF)
within 5 calendar days of the investigator's first knowledge of the SAE.
The AE form in the eCRF must be signed within 7 calendar days from the date the information was 
entered in the eCRF.
!
Non-serious AE fulfilling the MESI criteria: The AE form in the eCRF and the paper SIF
within 14 calendar days of the investigator's first knowledge of the event
!
Hypersensitivity questionnaire: Within 14 calendar days of the investigator's first knowledge 
of the event
The paper SIF must be forwarded to Novo Nordisk either by fax, email or courier.
If the eCRF is unavailable, the concerned AE 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.

Figure 11–1
Initial reporting of AEs
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 ICH GCP.1 In addition, the 
investigator will be informed of any trial-related SAEs that may warrant a change in 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 
investigator of trial product-related SUSARs and the investigator inform the IRBs (Institutional 
Review Board)/IECs (independent ethics committee) in accordance with local requirement and 
GCP.1
If an AE and/or MESI is considered to have a causal relationship with a Novo Nordisk marketed 
product used as concomitant medication in the trial, it is important that the suspected relationship is 
reported to Novo Nordisk, e.g. in the alternative aetiology section on the safety information form. 
Novo Nordisk may need to report this adverse event to relevant regulatory authorities.

11.3
Follow-up of adverse events
The investigator must record follow-up information by updating the forms in the eCRF, and/or as 
corrections to the original paper CRF or by using a new paper form marked as follow up.
Follow up information must be reported to Novo Nordisk according to the followi ng:
!
SAEs: All SAEs must be followed until the outcome of the event is "recovered/resolved", 
"recovered/resolved with sequela" or "fatal", and until all queries have been resolved. Cases of 
chronic conditions, cancer or AEs on-going 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 sequela" 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 on-going 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.
SAEs after end of trial: If the investigator becomes aware of an SAE with a suspected causal 
relationship to the investigational medicinal product occurring to a subject after the subject has 
ended the trial, the investigator should report this SAE within the same timelines as for SAEs 
during the trial.

which occur from the time of first usage of the product until the time of the last usage of the trial 
product, must be collected and reported to Customer Complaint Center, Novo Nordisk.
The investigator must assess whether the technical complaint is related to any AEs, SAEs, and/or
MESI.
Technical complaints must be reported on a separate technical complaint form:
!
One technical complaint form must be completed for each affected DUN
!
If DUN is not available, a technical complaint form for each batch, code or lot number 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.
Contact details (fax, e-mail and address) are provided in attachment I to the protocol.
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

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. 
11.5
Precautions and/or overdose
As with any protein injected i.v., severe allergic or hypersensitivity reactions may occur. This might 
include rash, pruritus, fever, nausea, headache, and vomiting; also changes in blood pressure may 
occur.
If any of the above events occur the patient should receive treatment as appropriate according to the 
hospital practice. The investigator should consider whether further injections should be stopped.
No symptoms have been seen in connection with an overdose of turoctocog alfa.
11.6
Committees related to safety
11.6.1
Novo Nordisk safety committee
Novo Nordisk will constitute an internal turoctocog alfa 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 for turoctocog alfa for this trial and all other 
turoctocog alfa trials. The Novo Nordisk safety committee can take action with regard to the patient 
safety for the trial based upon observations of the overall information for turoctocog alfa.

12 Case report forms 
Novo Nordisk will provide a system for the eCRF. This system and support services to the system 
will be supplied by a vendor.
Ensure that all relevant questions are answered in the eCRF, 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 eCRFs will also be provided as paper CRFs:
!
AE forms
!
Technical complaint forms
These must be used when access to the eCRF is revoked or is not accessible. 
If the eCRF is unavailable or when reporting a technical complaint that is not subject
related, (e.g. discovered at trial site before allocation) 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 in section 11.4.1.
Safety information form (SIF) will only be provided as paper CRF.
On the paper CRF forms 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/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 or eCRF. 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 eCRF or CRF.
The investigator must ensure that all information is consistent with the source documentation. By 
electronically signing the case book in the eCRF, the investigator confirms that the information in 
the eCRF and related forms is complete and correct.
12.1
Corrections to case report forms 
12.1.1
Corrections to eCRFs
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.
12.1.2
Corrections to the paper CRFs
Corrections to the data in the 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 was crossed out. Each 
correction must be initialled, dated and explained (if necessary). The date format must be DD-
MMM-YY (e.g. 01-Jan-13) If corrections are made by the investigator's authorised staff after the 
date of the investigator's signature on the case book in eCRF, it must be signed and dated again by 
the investigator.
Corrections necessary after the paper CRFs have been removed from the 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 5 working days of the visits. This also includes the patient diary data. The top page of the 
PRO questionnaires is sent by the monitor to data management in India for data entry. Once data 
has 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.
The paper CRFs/hypersensitivity forms will be supplied as paper-set including two different 
coloured copies, except for the PRO forms that only have one copy. The CRA (clinical research 
associate) will collect the original (top page) during the monitoring visits after source data 
verification (SDV) has been performed and send it to Novo Nordisk Global Development-Global 
Service Centre (GD-GSC) in India where data entry into oracle clinical (OC) will be performed . 
One copy (bottom page) of the CRF/hypersensitivity form will be retained at the site. The CRA will 
keep the middle copy of the CRFs, except for the PRO as there is no copy for the CRA.
Central laboratory results will be transferred electronically to Novo Nordisk and will also be 
provided to the investigator.

13 Monitoring procedures 
During the course of the trial, the monitor will visit the trial site to ensure that the protocol is 
adhered to, and that all issues have been recorded, to perform source data verification and to 
monitor drug accountability. The first monitoring visit will be performed as soon as possible after 
FPFV at the specific site and no later than 4 weeks after. The monitoring visit 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 GCP1 , but will not exceed 12 weeks. This is though 
not a requirement after LPLV at the specific site.
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).
All data must be verifiable in source documentation, except for the data in the diary and PROs.
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.
The investigator must make a reasonable effort to obtain the following medical history from 
external sources e.g. primary physician and other hospitals/departments if not accessible in the 
medical records. The effort to obtain this information must be documented in the medical records:
!
Any positive inhibitor history
!
Known or suspected hypersensitivity to trial product(s) or other FVIII products
!
Congenital or acquired coagulation disorders other than haemophilia A
!
Use of Anticoagulants: Heparin, vitamin-K antagonists, and direct thrombin inhibitors one week 
prior to first injection of trial product
!
Any disorder which, in the opinion of investigator, might jeopardise patient’s safety or 
compliance with the protocol
!
Mental incapacity
!
Haemophilia treatment and bleed history
All the above elements in the patient’s medical history are required for evaluating different 
exclusion criteria in this trial; see section 6.3, except the last point which is not an exclusion 
criterion.

The following medical history the trial site do not need to require from other external sources e.g. 
primary physician and other hospitals/departments if not accessible in the medical records as these 
can be tested in this trial:
!
Diagnose of FVIII severity
!
HIV, CD4+ T cell status and viral load
!
Hepatitis B and C
All the above elements in the patient’s medical history are required for evaluating different 
inclusion and exclusion criteria, see section 6, except the hepatitis B and C test.
It must be evaluated carefully what data is source data. The earliest practically retainable record 
should be considered as the location of the source data and therefore the source document, for 
instance if any electronic instruments are used for measuring vital signs the printout from these 
instruments should be considered as the source. The laboratory reports sent to the site should also 
be considered the source. The data entered directly into the diary and PRO questionnaires are also 
considered as source.
Source data generated by the trial site can be corrected by another person than the person entering 
the source data if accepted by local regulations; any correction must be explained, signed and dated 
by the person making the correction.
The original PRO and paper CRF/hypersensitivity form must not be removed from the trial site.
Each copy of the PRO and paper CRF/hypersensitivity form are considered to be source and this 
allows that the top page of the PRO or paper CRF/hypersensitivity form to be removed from the 
trial site and sent to data management. Data is entered directly into the diary and thus the diary is 
considered to be the source.
The monitor will check that the eCRFs, paper CRFs, PROs and the diary are completed and that 
paper CRFs are collected.
The monitor will check eCRF pages and other trial-related forms containing data from screening 
failures. Only the informed consent, AEs and screening failure reason should be monitored and/ or 
source data verified.
Monitors must review the patient's medical records and other source data (e.g. the diaries and 
PROs) to ensure consistency and/or identify omissions compared to the eCRF. 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.

14 Data management
Data management is the responsibility of Novo Nordisk. 
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. 
Data from central laboratories will be transferred electronically from the laboratory performing the 
analyses. In cases where data is transferred via non-secure electronic networks, data will be 
encrypted during transfer.
Both the central and local laboratory will provide all laboratory reports to the investigator for 
storage at the trial site.
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.

16 Statistical considerations
Evaluation of data will be based mainly upon descriptive statistics, i.e. summary tables, listings, and 
figures. Categorical data will be summarised by frequency tables while continuous data will be 
summarised by mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum value.
All efficacy endpoints will be reported only for patients without inhibitors (<0.6 BU) and using 
bleeds with turoctocog alfa treatment. Base on the full analysis set (FAS), but if a patient develops 
an inhibitor only the time before the positive inhibitor test will be used to evaluate the efficacy 
endpoints.The following sensitivity analyses will be performed:
!
The annualised bleeding rate will be calculated for both treatment-requiring bleeds and non-
treatment requiring bleeds
!
The annualised bleeding rate will be calculated  excluding data from low titer periods 
!
Treatment success will be summarised excluding data from low titer periods
The main CTR will be written when at least 60 patients have completed the main phase of the trial 
(completed visit 8 and data is available, including PK data).The patients that have not completed the 
main phase at the cut off time for the main CTR will also be reported as part of the main phase. 
These patients will be included with data until their last visit prior to the cut-off date. The extension 
phase data at this time will also be included in the main CTR. The main CTR will present data 
separately (when relevant) for the above mentioned main and extension phase and this data will also 
be presented combined. The primary conclusion will be based on the main CTR and only on the 
above mentioned main phase data. An updated CTR will be conducted when all patients have 
completed the extension phase of the trial. The updated CTR will present data separately (when 
relevant) for the main and extension phase and the combined main and extension phase data. The 
definition of the main phase will be the same in the main and updated reports. See Figure 16–1.

CTR reporting
16.1
Sample size calculation
No formal sample size calculations have been performed. A sample size of 60 patients is co nsidered 
a sufficient number of patients to evaluate safety and efficacy of turoctocog alfa. The results of this 
study will supplement results from a corresponding study in non-Chinese patients.
16.2
Definition of analysis sets
All main descriptions and analyses of safety and efficacy data will be based on the FAS, as defined 
in ICH E9 Guidelines (Statistical Principles for Clinical Trials). The FAS includes all dosed patients 
with data after dosing.
The ABR will also be summarised by the following subgroups:
Cause of bleed (Spontaneous, Traumatic, Re-bleed), Site of bleeding (Central nervous system,
Haemarthrosis (Joint), Gastrointestinal, Subcutaneous, Muscular or other), Classification of
bleeding (Mild/Moderate or Severe)
16.2.1
Handling of exceptional pharmacokinetic outlier data
Exceptional outlier PK profiles and/or individual plasma concentrations may be excluded when 
analysing PK endpoints based on the FAS. If exceptional outlier data are identified, a sensitivity 
analysis including the outlier data will be conducted.

analysis including the exceptional outliers will refer to “full analysis set incl. all data”. 
16.2.2
Documentation of analysis sets
The decision to exclude data points from analysis of PK endpoints based on the FAS will be made 
from a review prior to database lock. It will be the joint responsibility of the clinical pharmacology 
scientist and the trial statistician.
The profiles or observations to be excluded from the FAS and the reason for their exclusion will be 
documented and signed by the clinical pharmacology scientist and the trial statistician as part of the 
database lock minutes. The documentation will be stored together with the remaining trial 
documentation. This will also be described in the CTR.
16.3
Primary endpoint
!
Haemostatic effect of turoctocog alfa when used for treatment of bleeds, assessed on a four-
point scale for haemostatic response (excellent, good, moderate and none) during the main 
phase (6 months duration per patient).
In addition treatment success will be summarised by counting haemostatic responses rated as good 
or excellent as success and responses rated as moderate and none as failure. If the haemostatic 
response is missing, the response will be counted as failure in the primary analysis, but a sensitivity 
analysis will be performed excluding bleeding episodes with missing response. Treatment success 
will also be summarised excluding data from low titer periods as a sensitivity analysis to the 
primary analysis. 
The haemostatic effect of turoctocog alfa will also be summarised by the following subgroups:
Cause of bleed (Spontaneous, Traumatic, Re-bleed), Site of bleeding (Central nervous system,
Haemarthrosis (Joint), Gastrointestinal, Subcutaneous, Muscular or other), Classification of 
bleeding (Mild/Moderate or Severe)
Analyses and presentations will be made by age groups, type of regimen, trial phase and total.

16.4.1
Efficacy endpoints
The primary endpoint will be repeated for the extension phase and the combined main and 
extension phase (total trial period of 24 months). The analysis is similar to the primary analysis
Number of bleeds (total bleeds assessed as annual bleeding rate) per patient during both the main
phase of 6 months and the trial period of 24 months. This endpoint will only be presented for 
patients on prophylaxis regimen and will be reported using only treatment requiring bleeds. The 
following sensitivity analyses will be performed:
!
The annualised bleeding rate will be calculated for both treatment-requiring bleeds and non-
treatment requiring bleeds
!
The annualised bleeding rate will be calculated  excluding data from low titer periods
The annualised bleeding rate will be analysed by a negative binomial model and estimated 
annualised bleeding rate with confidence interval will be presented by trial phase and treatment 
regimen. As a sensitivity analysis, a Poisson model with over-dispersion will also be applied. 
Analyses and presentations will be made for the preventative regimen by age groups, trial phase and 
total. 
When turoctocog alfa is administered via a butterfly, the dead space is subtracted from the total 
volume of the dose to account for the compound left in the butterfly device after injection.
!
Consumption of turoctocog alfa for bleeding treatment (average dose to treat a bleed, number 
of injections and IU/kg per bleed) during both the main phase of 6 months and the trial period of 
24 months
This endpoint will be summarised and listed. The presentations will be made by age groups, type of 
regimen, trial phase and total.
!
Consumption of turoctocog alfa during prophylaxis treatment (average prophylaxis dose, 
number of injections and IU/kg per month and per year) per patient during both the main of 6 
months and the trial period of 24 months
This endpoint will be summarised and listed. The presentation will be made for the preventative 
regimen by trial phase, age groups and total.

Safety endpoints
!
Incidence rate of inhibitory antibodies against factor VIII (≥0.6 BU) during both the main phase 
of 6 months and the trial period of 24 months
The incidence rate of inhibitors (≥0.6 BU) represented as the percentage of patients developing 
inhibitors will be calculated 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 incidence rate the 
numerator will include all patients with inhibitors while the denominator will include all patients in 
the trial exposed to turoctocog alfa.
FVIII activity (trough) at baseline will be compared graphically between patients with and without 
inhibitors. HLA genotype will be cross tabulated against the presence of inhibitors
!
Frequency of Adverse Events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) reported during both the 
main phase of 6 months and the trial period of 24 months. AEs and SAEs reported during the 
study will be summarised by frequency of events and frequency of patients with any event. 
Similar summaries cross-classified by severity will also be made. The summary tables will be 
made by patient with and without inhibitors (<0.6 BU), trial phase, age groups, type of regimen 
and total.
Furthermore, listings will be provided displaying all AEs and SAEs reported during the study 
including pertinent clinical information. For patients exposed to both vial strengths the strongest 
causality will be used in summary tables. In listings both causalities will be displayed for relevant 
events in these patients.

17 Ethics
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 
Helsinki.2
Before any trial-related activity, the investigator must give the patient and/or the patients’
parents/legally acceptable representative (LAR) verbal and written information about the trial and 
the procedures involved in a form that the patient or the parent/LAR can read and understand. This 
includes the use of an impartial witness where required.
The patient or the parents/LAR 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 products.
The investigator must ensure the patient and/or parent/LAR ample time to come to a decision 
whether or not to participate in the trial. 
The requirement for using a patient's LAR is that the patient is unable to provide informed consent, 
and the process has been approved by the relevant IRB/IEC. Patients incapable of giving informed 
consent can be children or illiterates who cannot read and/or understanding the patient information 
document.
A voluntary, signed and personally dated informed consent must be obtained from the patient
and/or the patient's parents/LAR before any trial-related activity. If the patient is a child below the 
age of 18 years the LAR must be the parent(s) or a legal representative, as defined in the Chinese
national laws, who consent on behalf of the child. . If a patient is deemed legally incompetent, such 
as a child or is not capable of giving informed consent for other reasons, but is able to give assent to 
decisions about participating in the trial and forming an opinion, the investigator must offer the 
possibility for the child to give assent in addition to the LARs consent by either co-signing the 
informed consent or signing a separate assent form. 
The responsibility for seeking informed consent or assent 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 and assent form must be signed and personally dated 
by the person who seeks the informed consent before any trial-related activity.
If information becomes available that may influence the patient's willingness to continue 
participation in the trial, the investigator must inform the patient and/or the patient’s parents/LAR in 
a timely manner, and a revised written patient information must be provided and a new informed 
consent must be obtained.

17.2
Informed consent for genotype testing and 
Genotype testing is offered to patients participating in this trial. Before blood sampling for any 
potential genotyping is performed the patient or parents/LAR must sign a separate informed consent 
Included in this information is that they can abstain from the genetic testing, but can still participate 
in the trial.
17.3
Informed consent for future research
An additional blood sample for future research (biospecimen) is offered to patients in this trial, but 
before any trial related activity starts the patient or parent/LAR must be informed about and consent 
on a separate information and consent form to this collection and storage for up to 15 years from 
end of the trial and testing. Included in this information is that they can abstain from the additional 
blood sample but can still participate in the trial. Furthermore, this informed consent also request to 
store other blood samples for future research, see section 8.5.3.4
17.4
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 Novo Nordisk and regulatory authorities according to 
local/national requirements.
If data is used, it will always be in accordance with local regulations and IRBs/IECs.
17.5
Information to the patient during the trial
The site will be offered a communication package to the patient during the conduct of the trial. The 
package content is issued by Novo Nordisk. The communication package will contain the letters 
intended for distribution to the patients. The letters will be translated and adjusted to local 
requirements and distributed to the patient by discretion of the investigator. The patient may receive 
a "welcome to the trial letter" and a "thank for your participation letter" at the end of the trial. 
Further the patient may receive trial letters during the trial period. 
All information to the patients will be submitted to the health authorities and IECs/IRBs for 
approval according to local regulations.

21 Responsibilities
The investigator is accountable for the conduct of the trial at his/her 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.
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 unauthorized persons can get access to the data. The patient identification code list must 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 Nord isk that 
such technical and organisational safety measures have been taken.
During any period of unavailability, the investigator must 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 as 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.
One principal investigator will be appointed to review and sign the clinical trial report (signatory 
investigator) on behalf of all participating investigators. The signatory investigator will be 
appointed based upon the criteria defined by the International Committee of Medical Journal 
Editors for research publications.22
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 patient 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 Disclosure.
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 
Novo Nordisk 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 in accordance with the Uniform Requirements of the 
International Committee of Medical Journal Editors22 (ICMJE) (sometimes referred to as the 
Vancouver Criteria).
Authorship for associated publications will be designated from the investigator list, as appropriate 
for each individual publication. Selection criteria may include: involvement in the design of the 
clinical trial, patient recruitment into the trial, interpretation and analysis of the trial data, and 
clinical expertise. The criteria and author selection will be agreed upon in collaboration with 
relevant members of the clinical project, including the publication planning group. In addition, all 
invited authors should meet the ICMJE authorship criteria.
22.1.2
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 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.
A full CTR will be made public according to Novo Nordisk’s new disclosure code of conduct no 
later than 12 months after trial completion.
22.2
Investigator access to data and review of results
As owner of the trial database, Novo Nordisk has the discretion to determine who will have access 
to the database. Individual investigators will have their own research patient’s data.

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. 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 
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. 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 site/institution must be retained for 15 years after the completion of 
the trial, or longer if required by local regulations. The deletion process must ensure confidentiality 
of data and must be done in accordance with local regulatory requirements.

Introduction
Trial information
The primary objective is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of turoctocog alfa in treatment of bleeding 
episodes in Chinese patients with severe haemophilia A (FVIII≤1%)
The key secondary objective is 
!
To assess the safety of turoctocog alfa in terms of immunogenicity
!
To evaluate the clinical efficacy of turoctocog alfa during prophylaxis treatment
!
To evaluate the consumption of turoctocog alfa during prophylaxis treatment and 
treatment of bleeding episodes
At least 65 previous treated patients with severe haemophilia A will be given a prophylactic 
regimen or an on-demand regimen of turoctocog alfa. It is not possible to switch between these 2 
treatments regimens in the main phase of the trial, but the dose and frequency of dosing can though 
be changed.  At least 10 patients on the on-demand and 20 patients on the prophylaxis regimen will 
complete the main phase of the trial, which will last for approximately 6 months.
An extension phase (from visit 8 until LPLV, see section 7) is added to assess long term safety and 
efficacy, see section 7, and either prophylaxis or on demand treatment can be chosen also in this 
phase, but it is possible to switch between these treatments regimens during the extension phase and 
also to change the dose and frequency of dosing.
Of the 65 dosed patients, a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 18 patients will be enrolled in the PK 
session to characterise the PK profile of turoctocog alfa in a Chinese population with severe 
haemophilia A.
Enrolled patients who need to undergo surgical procedures will remain in the trial provided that 
turoctocog alfa is used for the prevention and treatment of the surgical bleeding. All surgical
procedures (e.g. minor, major, elective, and emergency) may be performed using turoctocog alfa at 
he investigators discretion.
Please refer to the protocol for further details.
Scope of the statistical analysis plan
This SAP is based on the protocol Efficacy and safety of turoctocog alfa for prophylaxis and 
treatment of bleeding episodes in previously treated Chinese patients with haemophilia A

Final protocol version 5 (21-Jul-2017) is based on protocol amendment 3 (and protocol version 
1(13 February 2014), protocol version 2 (10 May 2016) and  protocol version 3 (19-Aug-2016)
including protocol amendment 1 and 2).
The statistical analysis is already pre-specified in the protocol but in order to fulfil a requirement 
from the Chinese authorities this SAP is written.

Statistical considerations
Evaluation of data will be based mainly upon descriptive statistics, i.e. summary tables, listings, and 
figures. Categorical data will be summarised by frequency tables while continuous data will be 
summarised by mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum value.
All efficacy endpoints will be reported only for patients without inhibitors (<0.6 BU) and using 
bleeds with turoctocog alfa treatment. Base on the full analysis set (FAS), but if a patient develops 
an inhibitor only the time before the positive inhibitor test will be used to evaluate the efficacy 
endpoints. The following sensitivity analyses will be performed:
!
The annualised bleeding rate will be calculated for both treatment-requiring bleeds and non-
treatment requiring bleeds
!
The annualised bleeding rate will be calculated excluding data from low titer periods
!
Treatment success will be summarised excluding data from low titer periods
The main CTR will be written when at least 60 patients have completed the main phase of the trial 
(completed visit 8 and data is available, including PK data).The patients that have not completed the 
main phase at the cut off time for the main CTR will also be reported as part of the main phase.
These patients will be included with data until their last scheduled visit prior to the cut-off date. The 
extension phase data at this time will also be included in the main CTR. The main CTR will present 
data separately (when relevant) for the above mentioned main and extension phase and this data 
will also be presented combined.
The primary conclusion will be based on the main CTR and only on the above mentioned main 
phase data. An updated CTR will be conducted when all patients have completed the extension 
phase of the trial. The updated CTR will present data separately (when relevant) for the main and 
extension phase and the combined main and extension phase data. The definition of the main phase 
will be the same in the main and updated reports. See Figure 16–1.

Sample size calculation
No formal sample size calculations have been performed. A sample size of 60 patients is considered 
a sufficient number of patients to evaluate safety and efficacy of turoctocog alfa. The results of this 
study will supplement results from a corresponding study in non -Chinese patients.
Definition of analysis sets
All main descriptions and analyses of safety and efficacy data will be based on the FAS, as defined 
in ICH E9 Guidelines (Statistical Principles for Clinical Trials). The FAS includes all dosed patients 
with data after dosing.
The ABR will also be summarised by the following subgroups:
Cause of bleed (Spontaneous, Traumatic, Re-bleed), Site of bleeding (Central nervous system,
Haemarthrosis (Joint), Gastrointestinal, Subcutaneous, Muscular or other), Classification of 
bleeding (Mild/Moderate or Severe)
Handling of exceptional pharmacokinetic outlier data
Exceptional outlier PK profiles and/or individual plasma concentrations may be excluded when 
analysing PK endpoints based on the FAS. If exceptional outlier data are identified, a sensitivity 
analysis including the outlier data will be conducted.

Unless otherwise stated, analysis results obtained from FAS excluding exceptional outliers will be 
presented with reference to the “full analysis set excluding outliers”. The results of the sensitivity 
analysis including the exceptional outliers will refer to “full analysis set incl. all data”.
Documentation of analysis sets
The decision to exclude data points from analysis of PK endpoints based on the FAS will be made 
from a review prior to database lock. It will be the joint responsibility of the clinical pharmacology 
scientist and the trial statistician.
The profiles or observations to be excluded from the FAS and the reason for their exclusion will be 
documented and signed by the clinical pharmacology scientist and the trial statistician as part of the 
database lock minutes. The documentation will be stored together with the remaining trial 
documentation. This will also be described in the CTR.
Primary endpoint
Haemostatic effect of turoctocog alfa when used for treatment of bleeds, assessed on a four point 
scale for haemostatic response (excellent, good, moderate and none) during the main phase (6 
months duration per patient).
In addition treatment success will be summarised by counting haemostatic responses rated as good 
or excellent as success and responses rated as moderate and none as failure. If the haemostatic 
response is missing, the response will be counted as failure in the primary analysis, but a sensitivity 
analysis will be performed excluding bleeding episodes with missing response. Treatment success 
will also be summarised excluding data from low titer periods as a sensitivity analysis to the 
primary analysis.
The haemostatic effect of turoctocog alfa will also be summarised by the following subgroups:
Cause of bleed (Spontaneous, Traumatic, Re-bleed), Site of bleeding (Central nervous system, 
Haemarthrosis (Joint), Gastrointestinal, Subcutaneous, Muscular or other), Classification of 
bleeding (Mild/Moderate or Severe)
Analyses and presentations will be made by age groups, type of regimen, trial phase and total.
Supportive secondary endpoints
All the following endpoints will be analysed for the main and extension phase and the combined
main and extension phase data.

Efficacy endpoints
The primary endpoint will be repeated for the extension phase and the combined main and                               
extension phase (total trial period of 24 months) . The analysis is similar to the primary analysis
Number of bleeds (total bleeds assessed as annual bleeding rate) per patient during both the main 
phase of 6 months and the trial period of 24 months. This endpoint will only be presented for 
patients on prophylaxis regimen and will be reported using only treatment requiring bleeds. The 
following sensitivity analyses will be performed:
!
The annualised bleeding rate will be calculated for both treatment-requiring bleeds and non-
treatment requiring bleeds
!
The annualised bleeding rate will be calculated excluding data from low titer periods
The annualised bleeding rate will be analysed by a negative binomial model and estimated 
annualised bleeding rate with confidence interval will be presented by trial phase and treatment 
regimen. As a sensitivity analysis, a Poisson model with over-dispersion will also be applied.
Analyses and presentations will be made for the preventative regimen by age groups, trial phase and 
total.
When turoctocog alfa is administered via a butterfly, the dead space is subtracted from the total 
volume of the dose to account for the compound left in the butterfly device after injection. 
!
Consumption of turoctocog alfa for bleeding treatment (average dose to treat a bleed, 
number of injections and IU/kg per bleed) during both the main phase of 6 months and the 
trial period of 24 months
This endpoint will be summarised and listed. The presentations will be made by age groups, type of 
regimen, trial phase and total.
!
Consumption of turoctocog alfa during prophylaxis treatment (average prophylaxis dose, 
number of injections and IU/kg per month and per year) per patient during both the main of 
6 months and the trial period of 24 months
This endpoint will be summarised and listed. The presentation will be made for the preventative 
regimen by trial phase, age groups and total.
!
Total consumption of turoctocog alfa (IU/kg per month and per year) per patient during both 
the main phase of 6 months and the trial period of 24 months. This endpoint will be

Surgery-related endpoints where applicable:
–
Haemostatic effect evaluated on the four-point scale (excellent, good, moderate and none) 
and assessed by the investigator/surgeon at the day of surgery (Day 1) and on the last day in 
the post-operative period the patient is at the trial/surgery site
–
Loss of blood and requirements for transfusion on the day of surgery (Day 1) and during the 
post-operative period Days 2-7 or until the last day the patient is at the trial/surgery site 
whatever comes first
Surgery-related endpoints will be summarised by trial phase and listed.
Safety endpoints
!
Incidence rate of inhibitory antibodies against factor VIII (≥0.6 BU) during both the main 
phase of 6 months and the trial period of 24 months
The incidence rate of inhibitors (≥0.6 BU) represented as the percentage of patients developing 
inhibitors will be calculated 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 incidence rate the 
numerator will include all patients with inhibitors while the denominator will include all patients in 
the trial exposed to turoctocog alfa.
FVIII activity (trough) at baseline will be compared graphically between patients with and without 
inhibitors. HLA genotype will be cross tabulated against the presence of inhibitors
!
Frequency of Adverse Events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) reported during both 
the main phase of 6 months and the trial period of 24 months. AEs and SAEs reported 
during the study will be summarised by frequency of events and frequency of patients with 
any event. Similar summaries cross-classified by severity will also be made. The summary 
tables will be made by patient with and without inhibitors (<0.6 BU), trial phase, age 
groups, type of regimen and total.
Furthermore, listings will be provided displaying all AEs and SAEs reported during the study
including pertinent clinical information. For patients exposed to both vial strengths the strongest 
causality will be used in summary tables. In listings both causalities will be displayed for relevant 
events in these patients.
!
Adverse Events/Serious Adverse Events occurred on the day of surgery (Day 1) and during 
the post-operative period Days 2-7 or until the last day the patient is at the trial/surgery site

AEs and SAEs at the day of surgery (Day 1) and during the post-operative period Days 2-7 will be 
summarised by frequency of events and frequency of patients with any event. Similar summaries 
cross-classified by severity will also be made.
Pharmacokinetic endpoints
!
PK endpoints after a single dose of turoctocog alfa:
–
Incremental recovery of FVIII
–
Area under the curve (AUC0-inf)
–
Half-life (t½)
