Brief summary:
This study will test the well-known medicine turoctocog alfa for any side effects. The purpose is to test turoctocog alfa for any side effects in the Indian population. The participants will get turoctocog alfa. Turoctocog alfa is already a well-known medicine in India, and can be prescribed by the study doctor. The participants will get an injection every second day or 3 times per week. This is decided by the study doctor. The study doctor will decide the amount and how often the participants must take the medicine. The study will last for about 16 weeks. The participants will have 5 visits with the study doctor. If the participants agree to participate in this study, the participants will receive the first injection at the second visit, thereafter the participants will be trained to do the injection by themself.

Detailed description:

Arms: arm 1: Previously treated moderate or severe haemophilia A patients will receive routine prophylaxis treatment and treatment of bleeding episodes.
Interventions: intervention 1: turoctocog alfa
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Patients will receive standard prophylaxis treatment and treatment of bleeding episodes, according to label. Trial product will be administered as intravenous injections (i.v.)

Background information and rationale for the trial
The trial will be conducted in compliance with this protocol, ICH GCP1andapplicable regulatory 
requirements, and in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.2
In this document, the term investigator refers to the individual responsible for the overall conduct of 
the clinical trial at a trial site.
3.1
Background information
3.1.1
Epidemiology of Haemophilia A in the Indian population 
Haemophilia A is an X-linked recessive disorder that is characterised by bleeding episodes. It 
results from the deficiency of factor VIII (FVIII). The severity of bleeding in Haemophilia A is 
generally correlated to FVIII level in the plasma.  Haemophilia A is considered severe when plasma 
FVIII level <1%, moderate when plasma FVIII level is 1-5% and mild when plasma FVIII level is 5 
–40%. The mainstay of management of Haemophilia A is replacement of deficient FVIII. Main
goals of therapy include not only treating bleeding episodes but also help patients lead a normal life
with little compromise on quality of life (QoL) due to haemophilia. This is possible when clotting
factors are administered for prophylactic use on a regular basis (to prevent the occurrence of a
bleeding episode) instead of on-demand treatment (i.e. administered after each bleeding episode).3
The estimated number of haemophilia patients in India isover 70 000.4However less than a quarter 
of these patients are diagnosed and registered in India.The registered number of haemophilia 
patients in India is 17,470 which include14,450 patients with Haemophilia A and 2281 patients 
with Haemophilia B. It is reported that among 14,450 patients, 30% belong to ≤ 18 years of age and 
33% belong to age group of 19–44 years.  The main modality of management of haemophilia in 
India is on-demand regimen (i.e. administration of clotting factor after each bleeding episode).
Patients visit their respective treatment centres for management of each individual bleeding episode. 
Less than 1% of Haemophilia A patients under age of 18 years receives prophylactic replacement in 
selectedcentres.5
3.1.2
Current standard of care
Among FVIII concentrates used in India in 2014, 98% consumption was plasma derived FVIII (pd-
FVIII) and the remaining2% was recombinant FVIII (rFVIII).5This partly explains the inadequate 
supply and delay in supply of FVIII as pd-FVIII alone is not able to meet the patients’ 
requirements as elsewhere in the world.6 Hence a significant proportion of Haemophilia A 
patients in India are still treated with blood or blood derived products, namely fresh frozen plasma 
and cryoprecipitate. The prevalence of HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C burden among patients 
with haemophilia due to use of blood products is approximately 1%, 6% and 30% respectively.7, 8

The risk of infections in patients with Haemophilia A due to prions and small non-enveloped 
viruses like parvovirus B19 exists as these are neither removed nor inactivated in any of the 
currently available pd-FVIII in India.5, 9, 10The currently available first generation rFVIII uses 
albumin and other human/animal serum or proteins in various stages of production process which 
lowers their final purity.5, 9Concentrates of lower purity may give rise to allergic reactions.3In 
addition it does not undergo any standard recommended purification technique namely solvent 
detergent method or nanofiltration as per World Federation of Haemophilia (WFH).9, 10Hence 
availability of recombinant FVIII concentrates is considered as an unmet need for management of 
patients of Haemophilia A in India. 
3.1.3
Turoctocog alfa
Turoctocog alfa (NovoEight®), a third generation recombinant human coagulation factor VIII 
intended for prophylaxis and treatment of  bleeding episodes in haemophilia A patients, was 
recently approved in India with a waiver for conducting a phase IIIclinical trial in Indian patients.11
Turoctocog alfa is a recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) witha truncated B-domain made from the 
sequence coding for 10 amino acids from the N-terminus and 11 amino acids from the C-terminus 
of the naturally occurring B-domain. The truncated B-domain was selected to achieve a well-
defined product when produced by recombinant DNA technology in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) 
cells. When turoctocog alfa is activated by thrombin, the truncated B-domain is cleaved, leaving an 
active FVIII molecule that is similar to endogenous FVIII in its activated form. It is a third 
generation factor VIII product prepared without the addition of any human or animal derived 
protein in the cell culture process, purification or final formulation. Turoctocog alfa is isolated from 
the culture media using an optimized five-step purification process: i) detergent inactivation and 
concentration; ii) immunoaffinity chromatography using a recombinant  monoclonal antibody; iii) 
anion exchange chromatography; iv) nanofiltration with a 20 nm pore size filter; and v) a final gel 
filtration (size exclusion chromatography) step. Inactivation of enveloped viruses like HIV, HBV 
and HCV is ensured by detergent treatment (included in the initial purification step) and removal of 
prions and non-enveloped viruses like Parvovirus B19 is ensured by a 20-nm filtration step prior to 
the size exclusion step.12, 13
The First Human Dose and PK trial (NN7008-3522) results from 23 patients showed mean PK 
profilesof turoctocog alfa comparable to Advate® within the defined limits of comparability. In 
guardian™1 phase III trial, 150 previously treated (≥150EDs with other FVIII) adolescents/adults 
(≥12 year) with severe haemophilia A (and no history of inhibitors) received turoctocog alfa for 75 
EDs.13In guardian™ 3 phase III trial 63 previously treated (≥ 50EDs with other FVIII) children 
(<12 year) with severe haemophilia A (and no history of inhibitors) received turoctocog alfa for 50 
EDs, 188 of these patients continued into guardian™ 2 extension trial.14  In the three trials, 
patients have received prophylaxis with turoctocog alfa three times weekly or every second 
day, or for treatment of breakthrough bleeding episodes. No safety concerns have arisen in any of 
the phase III trials, and no patients have developed confirmed inhibitors.15, 16Efficacy in bleeding 
prevention was

demonstrated by a bleeding frequency within the range expected during prophylaxis treatment in 
haemophilia A (mean annualised bleeding rate of 6.5 bleeds/year in guardian™ 1 trial and 2.4 
bleeds/year in guardian™2 trial). Breakthrough bleeding episodes during prophylaxis were treated 
with turoctocog alfa and using a predefined four-point scale (Excellent, Good, Moderate or None), 
the haemostatic effect of turoctocog alfa was rated as excellent or good in 81 % of all bleeding 
episodes in guardian™ 1 trial and 91 % of all bleeding episodes in guardian™ 2 trial. For 
more information on safety and efficacy please refer to the Investigators brochure.17
For an assessment of benefits and risks of the trial, see Section 18.1.
3.2
Rationale for the trial
This trial is a post-approval commitment. Novo Nordisk has been mandated by the Indian Health 
Authorities to conduct a phase 4study with at least 50 patients with Haemophilia A. This trial will 
provide documentation on the safety and efficacy of turoctocog alfa in patients in India as no study 
has previously been conducted with turoctocog alfa in India. Novo Nordisk A/S has been required 
to provide NovoEight® for the participants and to include mandatory inhibitor tests.Therefore this 
commitment must be done as an interventional trial.
Inhibitor development inpreviously treated Haemophilia A patients havebeen shown to be an 
extremely rare event, with a frequency rateof 1-3 per 1000 patient years18.It is thought to occur at 
random, without a clear association with a precipitating event such as switching to a new FVIII 
product19.No difference between inhibitor incidence inPTPs treated with pdFVIII and rFVIII has 
been demonstrated in a large prospective registry based study20.

Trial design
5.1
Type of trial
This is a single-country, multi-centre, open-label and non-randomised trial with a single treatment 
arm. 60 PTPs (≥150 EDs with any FVIII containing product) with moderate or severe haemophilia 
A will receive a prophylactic regimen with turoctocog alfa for a period of 8 weeks, which 
corresponds to at least 20 EDs on standard prophylaxis.
5.2
Rationale for trial design
This is a non-randomised trial and the design is common for trials with FVIII products in 
haemophilia A patients. In this trial, previously treated moderate or severe haemophilia A patients 
will receive routine prophylaxis treatment and treatment of bleeding episodes. This design is similar 
to the pivotal NN7008-3543 (guardian™1) trial design and it is deemed adequate to fulfil the post-
approval commitment requirements form the Indian Health Authority. The timeframe of 8 weeks 
(corresponding to ≥20EDs on standard prophylactic treatment) provides an opportunity to detect an 
inhibitory response after initiation of treatment with turoctocog alfa in previously treated patients.
5.3
Treatment of patients
Patients will receive standard prophylaxis treatment and treatment of bleeding episodes, according 
to label. Trial product will be administered as intravenous injections (i.v.) at home by the patient or 
parent/LAR, 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.
Dosing for prophylaxis should be according to the approved prescribing information. The frequency 
of dosing can be either every second day or 3 times weekly, at a dose in the range 20-50 IU/kg.  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 starting dose should be defined by the 
investigator within the recommended range based on clinical status. Dose adjustments can be made 
during thetreatment period of 8 weeks within this range based on the patient’s clinical status 
(bleeding frequency)at a visit.
Bleeding episodes 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) guidelines3and according toapprovedprescribing information.
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 5–1as well as the WFH guidelinemay be used to guide dosing. 
FVIII activity should not fall below the lower range for the given plasma activity level (in % of

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%.
Bleeding treatment should start as soon as a bleeding episode is identified. The investigator should
in advance provide the patient the doses needed to treat the bleed episode 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 8–4 for a definition of severe bleeding episodes. 
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 bleeding 
episode to ensure as correct information as possible. Any dose used for treatment of an active 
bleeding episode must be recorded as a treatment of a bleeding episode. When symptoms of active 
bleeding episode have stopped (e.g. pain is reduced and no increase in swelling/swelling 
diminishes), the patient or parent/caregiver can resume the prophylactic treatment. The timing of 
the next dose should be according to the prophylaxis dosing schedule.

For treatment in case of a minor surgical procedure, doses 30-60 IU/kg should be used. Treatment 
should be repeated every 24 hours as needed. 
If the procedure takes place at another location than at the trial site (e.g. surgery site or dental 
practice), the surgeon/dentist must be informed that the patient is participating in the trial, and the 
investigator should give instructions in advance about the dosing and handling of the trial product.

Treatment after discontinuation of trial product
When discontinuing trial products, either at the scheduled end of trial visit or if trial product is 
discontinued prematurely, the patient should be switched to a suitable marketed product at the 
discretion of the investigator.

Withdrawal from trial
A patient may withdraw consent at will at any time either by the patient or by the patient’s parent or 
the patient’s legally acceptable representative. The patient’s request to withdraw from the trial must 
always be respected. See section 8.1 for procedures to be performed for patients withdrawing 
consent. 
6.5
Criteria for premature discontinuation of trial product
A patient must be prematurely discontinued from trial product if the following applies:
1. Included in the trial in violation of the inclusion and/or exclusion criteria.
2. Simultaneous participation in another clinical trial of an approved or non-approved
investigational medicinal product.
3. High titer FVIII inhibitor (>5 BU), confirmed by central laboratory.
4. Planned or emergency major surgery.
5. Severe allergic or anaphylactic reaction to trial product.
6. Clinically relevant thromboembolic event which requires treatment with anticoagulants.
7. Lack of haemostatic effect of the trial product.
8. Use of other FVIII products
9. Use of FVIII containing products (blood components, PCC) for more than 5 EDs.
The subject may be prematurely discontinued from trial product at the discretion of the investigator 
due to a safety concern.
See section 8.1 for procedures to be performed for subjects discontinuing trial product prematurely.
6.6
Patient replacement
Patients who discontinue trial product prematurely will not be replaced.
6.7
Rationale for trial population 
Patients with moderate or 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.  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 without inhibitors to FVIII products are selected. These selection criteria 
are in accordance with the EMA guideline.21

Methods and assessments
8.1
Visit procedures
The following sections describe the assessments and procedures. These are also included in the flow 
chart (see section 2).It is importantto comply with the visit window stated in the flow chart, to 
ensure that the trial products do not expire while they are in the patient’s possession(see section 2).
Informed consent procedures: The patient or parent/LAR will be provided with full written and 
verbal information about the trial prior to conduct of any trial-related procedures/activitiesat the 
information visit, in accordance with GCP1and local requirements, see section 18.2. Informed 
consent must be obtained before any trial related activity.A separate informed consent must be 
obtained for genotype and future research, see section 18.3and 18.4.
A child assent form may be provided to children(belowthe age of 18). The child assent can be 
performed on a separate day. 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 visit2, 3 and unscheduled visits. 
A trial product injection at visit 2 must be performed at the trial site to assess if the patient or 
parent/LARcan handle the trial product injection. If assessed necessary, training sessions must be 
planned for and documented in the patient’s medical records.
If injection of trial product is performed at site between scheduled visits, this must be recorded at an 
unscheduled visit
Screening failures:For screening failures the screening failure form in the electronic case report 
form (eCRF) must be completed with the reason for not continuing in the trial. Serious and non-
serious adverse events from screening failures must be transcribed by the investigator into the 
eCRF.The following must be collected and documented:
!
Date of visit
!
Date of informed consent
!
Violated Inclusion and exclusion criteria
!
Screen failure reason
!
Date patient left the trial
!
Data relating to AE/SAEs if applicable
!
Demography
Follow-up on serious adverse events (SAEs) must be carried out according to section 12.3.
A screening failure session must be made in the IWRS and the case book must be signed in eCRF.
Re-screening is NOT allowed if the patient has failed one of the inclusion or exclusion criteria, this 
includes re-sampling if the patient has failed one of the inclusion or exclusion criteria related to 
laboratory parameters.

Premature discontinuation of trial product: If a patient prematurely discontinues trial product, 
the investigator must withdraw the patient from trial and undertake procedures similar to those for 
end of trial visit as soon as possible.
If a patient prematurely discontinues trial product (see section 6.5), the patient should attend a
follow-up visit in addition to the end of trial visit (see section 8.1.6). 
The primary reason for premature discontinuation of trial product must be specified in the eCRF, 
and final drug accountability must be performed. A treatment discontinuation session must be made 
in the IWRS.
Withdrawal from trial: Withdrawal criteria must be evaluated at every visit after consent. If a 
patient withdraws consent, the investigator must aim to undertake procedures similar to those for 
end of trial visit as soon as possible (see section 8.1.6)
The end-of-trial form must be completed in the eCRF, and final drug accountability must be 
performed even if the patient is not able to come to the trial site. A treatment discontinuation 
session must be made in the IWRS. The case book must be signed. 
Although a patient is not obliged to give his reason(s) for withdrawing consent, 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 withdrawing consent must be specified in 
the end-of-trial form in the eCRF.
Data review: Review of diaries and laboratory reports etc. must be documented either on the 
documents or in the patient’s medical record.
If clarification of entries or discrepancies in the diary is identified then the patient must be 
questioned and a conclusion made in the patient’s medical record. Care must be taken not to bias 
the patient.
8.1.1
Visit 0 - Information visit
The purpose of the information visit is to inform the patient and/or parent/LAR about the trial. If the 
patient decides to participate, the patient or parent/LAR must give signed dated informed consent 
prior to any trial-related activities. All patients will be provided with a copy of the patient 
information and a copy of the signed and dated informed consent form, see section 18.2. 
Informed consent for obtaining genotyping and biospecimen (blood sampling for future research) 
must also be collected, if the patient or parent/LAR agrees to this. The informed consent for 
genotyping can be obtained later in the trial and at the latest before sampling for genotyping. 
A washout period for minimum of 72 hours for FVIII containing products is needed, when
collecting FVIII activity and FVIII inhibitor laboratory samples at the next visit (visit 1). 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. The purpose of these analyses is to determine whether or not the

Visit 1 - Screening
Visit 1 is characterised as the screening visit. The visit must be scheduled 1 week after the 
information visit with a window of ±2 days.
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 
evaluating the laboratory results taken at this visit. Furthermore an inhibitor test and a FVIII activity 
test will be performed so the patient must withhold FVIII containing products for 72 hours prior to 
this visit to ensure there is no interference of a FVIII product with the assay.
Each patient will be assigned a unique 6-digit subject number which will remain the same 
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 subject identification code list and a patient
enrolment log. Only patients who have signed the informed consent form should be included on the 
logs. The patient screening log and patient enrolment log may be combined in one log.
Patient 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.
All assessment to be performed at this visit are listed in section 2

Visit 2 - Baseline
Visit 2 is characterised as the baseline visit. The visit must be scheduled 3 weeks after visit 1 with a 
window of ±7 days. This is to allow sufficient time for the arrival of the laboratory reports as all 
results are necessary for evaluation of the inclusion and exclusion criteria. These results must be 
available before determining whether or not the patient can continue in the trial.
After the final evaluation of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the investigator has to inject the 
trial product the first time: After the first dose of turoctocog alfa the patient’s medical status must 
be assess.
The investigator must judge if the patient or parent/LAR capability of handling the trial product 
injection and plan for home treatment training at unscheduled visit if necessary.
The diary must be handed out to the patient or parent/LAR 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 bleeding episode has 
occurred or after the treatment has been injected to ensure as accurate information as possible.
Trial product for home treatment must be dispensed to the patient or parent/LAR until next visit.
All assessments to be performed at this visit are listed in section 2.

Visit 3 - Treatment
Visit 3, must be scheduled 4 weeks after visit 2 with a visit window of ±3 days. The main reasons 
for these visits are to review the patient’s diary and to dispense trial product.
The diary must be collected and reviewed by the investigator or delegated site staff (see section 
8.6.2). The review will include the haemostatic efficacy for treatment of bleeding episodes and 
evaluate the severity rating. The review should be performed together with the patient or 
parent/LAR, see section 8.6.2.

Visit 4 - End of trial visit
For patients who withdraw from the trial, an end of trial visit must be performed as soon as 
possible. For patients completing the trial, the end of trial visit must be 8 weeks after visit 2 with a 
window of ±3 days. The main reason for the visit is to collect samples analysing for FVIII 
inhibitors, see section 8.4.2. The patient must therefore withhold FVIII treatment for 48 hours prior 
to this visit to ensure there is no interference of a FVIII product with the assay.
The diary must be collected and reviewed by the investigator or delegated site staff (see section

Patients withdrawn, after visit 2, due to inhibitors must attend a follow up visit in order to evaluate
the patient’s inhibitor status. This visit should be performed within 4 weeks after end of trial visit
with a visit window of ± 3 days.
Patients who have completed the trial must attend a follow up visit in order to assess any possible 
AEs. Patients, who have completed the trial, must attend 12 weeks after visit 2, with a window of 
±3 days.
The assessments to be performed at this visit are listed in section 2.

8.1.7
Unscheduled visit
An unscheduled visit can be performed after the visit 1 has been performed. The date and time of 
the unscheduled visit must be recorded in the eCRF.
Several reasons can be given for the necessity for the unscheduled visit. The main purpose could be
to record information that is important and is not covered by the scheduled visits. This information 
can be (but not limited to) laboratory tests, dosing adjustments, lab samples to confirm a positive 
inhibitor test or trial drug administration at site. Please note AEs, withdrawal criteria and 
concomitant medication must be assessed at every unscheduled visit. 
The assessments that can be performed at this visit are listed in section 2.

Concomitant illness and medical history other than haemophilia
A concomitant illness is any illness, other than haemophilia A, that is present at the start of the trial 
(i.e. at the first visit, visit 1) or found as a result of a screening procedure or other trial procedures 
performed before exposure to trial product.
Medical history is a medical event, other than haemophilia A, that the patient has experienced in 
the past. Historical bleeding episodes or similar haemophilia related medical history should not be 
recorded in medical history as this will be collected in another eCRF form called “Haemophilia 
treatment and bleeding episodes 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.
It must be possible to verify the patient’s medical history in source documents such as patient’s 
medical record. If a patient is not from the investigators own practice; the investigator must make 
reasonable effort to obtain a copy of patient’s medical record from relevant party e.g. primary 
physician. The investigator must document any attempt to obtain external medical information by 
noting the date(s) when information was requested and who has been contacted.
8.2.3
Concomitant medication
A concomitant medication is any medication for treatment or prevention of a disease, other than 
the trial products, which is taken during the trial, from visit 1 (screening visit) to end of trial visit.

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. 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. 
Blood sampling for FVIII inhibitor test must be performed after a 48 hours washout period since 
last dosing with any FVIII containing products.
If either tests are below or equal to 5 BU the patient can continue in the trial, unless the patient fulfil 
withdrawal criteria such as ineffective treatment (see section 6.5).
If the second confirmatory is positive (≥0.6 BU) and if one of the two tests is above 5 BU, then the 
patients must be withdrawn from the trial, see section 6.5. The patient must be followed up at the 
follow-up visits, see section 8.1.6.
For storage, handling, dispatch, and disposition of samples analysed for FVIII inhibitors at the 
central laboratory, please refer to detailed guidance in the laboratory manual.

Definition of surgery type
Surgery type
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 cut down 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/guide wire.
Dental surgery will be classified as minor or major based on above definitions
The following data must be recorded for minor surgery:

significant”. A laboratory result evaluated as “out of normal range and clinically significant” must 
be recorded as an AE, or if present at visit 1 it should be recorded as concomitant illness. See 
section 12.1.1 how a laboratory results is evaluated as clinical significant.
The laboratory equipment may provide analyses not requested in the protocol but produced 
automatically in connection with the requested analyses according to specifications in the laboratory 
standard operating procedures. Such data will not be transferred to the trial database, but abnormal 
values must be reported to the investigator. The investigator must review all laboratory results for 
concomitant illnesses and AEs and report these according to this protocol.
All laboratory assessments will be analysed at a central laboratory. 
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. 
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.
Furthermore the results of the future research (Biospecimen) and the antibody characterisation 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).28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.28
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.
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 visit1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.
CVADs(central venous access device)should preferably not be used for blood sampling due to risk 
of contamination and dilution.

Other laboratory parameters
8.5.3.1
Genotype
Genotype tests is optional in this trial and can only be performed after a separate informed consent 
has been signed, see section 18.3. The blood sample for the test can be taken at any visits, but it is 
recommended to sample for genotype at screening visit. Note that the test can only be analysed 
once.
!
FVIII genotyping
The FVIII genotype test will only characterise the genes in relation to haemophilia A. 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.
8.5.3.2
Samples for future research, biospecimen samples
In order to explore immunogenicity and perform further analysis of turoctocog alfa the remaining 
part of the blood sample for FVIII inhibitors and FVIII activity 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, which at present have not been included in the 
scientific hypotheses of haemophilia A. 
As the above mentioned future research may be performed on the biospecimen samples after 
completion of the trial, the results will be reported in separate reports and appended to the CTR.

The biospecimen for future research can only be sampled if a separate informed consent form has 
been signed, see section 18.4. The biospecimen sample should only be sampled one time and should 
not be taken 48 hours after dosing with a FVIII containing product. It is recommended to take the 
biospecimen sample at visit 1 or end of trial visit.

The investigator may not be given all the tests results, to review these in relation to potential AEs 
for this trial, but in the event that the collected blood will be used in the future, the investigator will 
be 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.
8.5.3.3
Retention of blood samples
Biospecimen samples will be collected and stored at a Novo Nordisk appointed referral bio-
repository. All biospecimens will be shipped out of India. 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.

8.6.2
Diary
The patient or parent/LAR will be provided with a diary for recording of bleeding episodes and 
prophylaxis treatment related to haemophilia. All treatments, including treatment of bleeding 
episodes and any treatment for minor surgery 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 2, the patient or parent/caregiver will receive the first diary and they 
will be trained in the use by the investigator.
The investigator should train the patient and/or parent/LAR 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 bleeding episode has occurred or after the treatment has been injected to 
ensure as accurate information as possible.
The diary is split in two, a bleeding episode part and a treatment diary part (treatment of bleeding 
episodes, treatment for minor surgery and prophylaxis treatment). The patient will only receive one 
bleed diary for the whole trial but will receive many treatment diaries during the trial. The diary 
must be returned at every scheduled visit and a new diary will be handed out to the patient or 
parent/LAR. During trial site visits, the diary must be reviewed by the investigator together with the 
patient or parent/LAR including the correctness of the haemostatic efficacy for treatment of 
bleeding episodes. The severity rating of the bleeding episode must be entered by the trial site staff 
into 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. 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. 24-01-17) 
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 2, 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.

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 direction for use, explaining the reconstitution and injection process, must be handed-out to the 
patient or parent/LAR at visit 2.
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.
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.

12 Adverse events and technical complaints
12.1
Definitions
12.1.1
Adverse event 
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient administered a medicinal 
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 or other trial procedures
performed before exposure to trial product (pre-existing conditions should be reported as
medical history or concomitant illness)
!
Surgical procedures (If the condition for which the procedure was performed has emerged or
worsened from the first trial related activity after the patient has signed the informed consent,
the condition should be reported as AE)
!
Bleeding episodes and other symptoms (e.g. pain, swelling, synovitis, arthralgia, injection site
haematoma) in connection with bleeding episodes should not be reported as AEs/SAEs unless
the event is fatal, life-threatening or evaluated by the investigator as related to trial product or
trial procedure. In case of a life-threatening bleeding episode, it must always be reported as an
SAE. All bleeding episodes and other findings related to underlying disease will be captured in
the CRF.
The following three definitions are used when assessing an AE:
!
Severity assessment
–
Mild – no or transient symptoms, no interference with the patient’s daily activities
–
Moderate – marked symptoms, moderate interference with the patient’s daily activities

–
Severe – considerable interference with the patient’s daily activities; unacceptable
!
Causality assessment
Relationship between an AE and the relevant trial product:
–
Probable - Good reason and sufficient documentation to assume a causal relationship
–
Possible - A causal relationship is conceivable and cannot be dismissed
–
Unlikely - The event is most likely related to aetiology other than the trial product
!
Final outcome
–
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 sequelae - The patient has recovered from the condition, but with
lasting effect due to a disease, injury, treatment or procedure. If a sequelae meets an SAE
criterion, the AE must be reported as an SAE
–
Not recovered/not resolved - The condition of the patient has not improved and the
symptoms are unchanged, or the outcome is not known
–
Fatal - This term is only applicable if the patient died from a condition related to the
reported AE. Outcomes of other reported AEs in a patient before he/she died should be
assessed as “recovered/resolved”, “recovering/resolving”, “recovered/resolved with
sequelae” or “not recovered/not resolved”. An AE with fatal outcome must be reported as
an SAE
–
Unknown - This term is only applicable if the patient is lost to follow-up
12.1.2
Serious adverse event
A serious adverse event (SAE) is an experience that at any dose results in any of the following:

Death.
!
A life-threateninga experience.
!
In-patient hospitalisationb or prolongation of existing hospitalisation.
!
A persistent or significant disability or incapacityc.
!
A congenital anomaly or birth defect.
!
Important medical events that may not result in death, be life threateninga or require
hospitalisationb may be considered an SAE when - based on appropriate medical judgement -
they may jeopardise the patient and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one
of the outcomes listed in the definition of SAEd.
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 dyscrasia 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:
!
Inhibitor development  (confirmed by two consecutive tests (≥ 0.6 BU))
!
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)

Non-serious adverse event
A non-serious AE is any AE which does not fulfil the definition of an SAE.
12.1.4
Medication errors
A medication error concerning trial products is defined as:
!
Administration of wrong drug
–
Note: Use of wrong DUN is not considered a medication error.
!
Wrong route of administration, such as intramuscular instead of intravenous
!
Administration of an overdose with the intention to cause harm (e.g. suicide attempt) misuse or
abuse of trial product.
!
Accidental administration of a lower or higher dose than intended. The administered dose must
deviate from the intended dose to an extent where clinical consequences for the trial patient
were likely to happen as judged by the investigator, although they did not necessarily occur
Medication errors must be reported on an AE form and a specific event form, see section 8.4.1.
12.1.5
Adverse events requiring additional data collection
AEs requiring additional data collection are AEs where the additional data will benefit the 
evaluation of the safety of the trial product.
In this trial the following AE require the completion of specific event forms in the eCRF 
!
Hypersensitivity reaction including anaphylactic reactions
Clinicalcriteriafor diagnosing anaphylaxis (Sampson et al.30).
Anaphylaxis is highly likely when any one of the following three criteria is fulfilled:
1. Acute onset of an illness (minutes to several hours) with involvement of the skin, mucosal
tissue, or both (e.g. generalised hives, pruritus or flushing, swollen lips-tongue-uvula) AND
AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:

12.1.6
Technical complaints
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
12.2
Reporting of adverse events
All events meeting the definition of an AE, SAE and AEs leading to discontinuation of trial product 
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. The 
events must be recorded in the applicable eCRF forms in a timely manner, see timelines below and 
Figure 12–1. 
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?”
All AEs, observed by the investigator or patient, must be reported by the investigator and evaluated. 
All AEs must be recorded by the investigator on an AE form. The investigator must report the 
diagnosis, if available. If no diagnosis is available, the investigator must 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.

SAEs: The AE form within 24 hours and the safety information form within 5 calendar days
of the investigator’s first knowledge of the SAE
Both forms must be signed within 7 calendar days from the date the information was entered in the 
eCRF.
For AEs/SAEs requiring reporting on a specific event form: In addition to the above the specific 
event form within 14 calendar days from the investigator’s first knowledge of the AE.
If the eCRF is unavailable, the concerned AE information must be reported on a paper AE form 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 enter the information on the form into the

Novo Nordisk products used as concomitant medication 
If an AE 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.
12.3
Follow-up of adverse events
The investigator must record follow-up information by updating the forms in the eCRF. 
Follow-up information must be reported to Novo Nordisk according to the following:
!
SAEs: All SAEs must be followed until the outcome of the event is “recovered/resolved”,
“recovered/resolved with sequelae” or “fatal”, and until all queries have been resolved. Cases of
chronic conditions, cancer or AEs ongoing at time of death (where death is due to another AE)
may be closed with the outcome “recovering/resolving” or “not recovered/not resolved”. Cases
can be closed with the outcome of “recovering/resolving” when the patient has completed the
follow-up period and is expected by the investigator to recover.
The SAE follow-up information should only include new (e.g. corrections or additional) 
information and must be reported within 24 hours of the investigator’s first knowledge of the 
information. This is also the case for previously non-serious AEs which subsequently become 
SAEs. 
!
Non-serious AEs: Non-serious AEs must be followed until the outcome of the event is
“recovering/resolving”, “recovered/resolved” or “recovered/resolved with sequelae” or until the
end of the follow-up period stated in the protocol, whichever comes first, and until all queries
related to these AEs have been resolved. Cases of chronic conditions, cancer or AEs ongoing at
time of death (where death is due to another AE) may be closed with the outcome
“recovering/resolving” or “not recovered/not resolved”. Cases can be closed with the outcome
of “recovering/resolving” when the patient has completed the follow-up period and is expected
by the investigator to recover.
The investigator must ensure that the recording of 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 patient after the patient has

ended the trial, the investigator must report this SAE within the same timelines as for SAEs during 
the trial. 
12.4
Technical complaints and technical complaint samples
12.4.1
Reporting of technical complaints 
All technical complaints on any of the following products :
!
Turoctocog alfa 2000 IU/vial
!
Isotonic Sodium Chloride 0.9% for injection in prefilled syringes
!
Novo Nordisk trial injection kit
which occur from the time of first usage of the product until the time of the last usage of the 
product, must be collected and reported to Customer Complaint Center, Novo Nordisk.
Contact details (fax, e-mail and address) are provided in Attachment I to the protocol.
The investigator must assess whether the technical complaint is related to any AEs or SAEs. 
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. When the eCRF becomes 
available again, the investigator must enter the information on the technical complaint form in the 
eCRF.
12.4.2
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 copy of the technical complaint form must be included 
in the shipment of the sample. If several samples are returnedin one shipment, the individual 
sample and the corresponding technical complaint form must be clearly separated.

The investigator must ensure that the technical complaint sample contains the batch, code or lot 
number and, if available, the DUN. All parts of the DUN must be returned.
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.
12.5
Precautions and/or overdose
As with any protein injected i.v, hypersensitivity reactions may occur. This might include rash, 
pruritus, fever, nausea, headache, and vomiting; also changes in BP may occur.
If an overdose is suspected, further turoctocog alfa administration must be stopped and the patient
should receive treatment as appropriate according to the hospital practice and guidelines.
12.6
Committees related to safety
12.6.1
Novo Nordisk safety committee
Novo Nordisk will constitute an internal turoctocog alfa safety committee to perform ongoing 
safety surveillance. The turoctocog alfa safety committee works according to written guidelines and 
will meet regularly to discuss and evaluate the overall safety of turoctocog alfa.
The Novo Nordisk safety committee can take action with regard to patient safety for the trial based 
upon observations of the overall safety information for turoctocog alfa.

13 Case report forms 
Novo Nordisk will provide a system for the electronic case report forms (eCRF). This system and 
support services to the system will be provided by an external supplier.
Ensure that all relevant questions are answered, and that no empty data field exists. If a test or an 
assessment has not been done and will not be available, or if the question is irrelevant (e.g. is not 
applicable), indicate this according to the data entry instructions. The following will be provided as 
paper CRFs to be used when access to the eCRF is revoked or if the eCRF is unavailable: 
!
AE forms
!
Safety information forms
!
Technical complaint forms
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. If the question is irrelevant (e.g. is not applicable) 
indicate this by writing “NA” (not applicable) in the appropriate answer field. Further guidance can 
be obtained from the instructions in the CRF. 
The investigator must ensure that all information 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.
13.1
Corrections to case report forms
13.1.1
Corrections to paper CRFs
Corrections to the data in 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 delegated staff after the date of the investigator’s 
signature on the casebook in eCRF, the casebook must be signed again.
13.1.2
Corrections to eCRFs
Corrections to the eCRF data may be made by the investigator or the investigator’s delegated 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 delegated staff after the date the investigator has signed 
the case book, the case book must be signed and dated again by the investigator.
13.2
Case report form flow
The investigator must ensure that data is recorded in the eCRF as soon as possible, preferably 
within 5 days after the visit. 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 will be supplied as paper-set including two different coloured copies. 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 data management. One copy 
(bottom page) of the CRF will be retained at the site. The CRA will keep the middle copy of the 
CRFs.
Central laboratory results will be transferred electronically to Novo Nordisk and will also be 
provided to the investigator.
13.3
Diary
Two set of paper diaries will be provided by Novo Nordisk A/S and will be handed to the patients at 
visit 1 (see section 8.6.2). The completed diary will be returned by the patient at every visit to the 
site and at the end of the trial. The data from the diaries will be checked by the investigator or site 
staff and reported into the eCRF. Corrections to this data may be made by investigator or the 
investigator’s delegated staff after a discussion with patient and the same should be documented in 
the patient’s medical or source records.
14 Monitoring procedures
Monitoring will be conducted using risk based approach including risk assessment, monitoring 
plans centralised monitoring and visits to trial sites. 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 centralised monitoring of the eCRFs
(remote assessment of data by Novo Nordisk), 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 other than the eCRF, except for the data in the 
diary.
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
!
Any disorder which, in the opinion of investigator, might jeopardise patient’s safety or
compliance with the protocol
!
Mental incapacity
!
Haemophilia treatment and bleeding episode 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 exte rnal 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 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.
If paper CRF are used, each copy of the paper CRF are considered to be source and this allows that 
the top page of the paper CRF 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 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. The following data will be source data verified for screening failures:
!
Date of informed consent
!
Violated Inclusion and exclusion criteria
!
Screen failure reason
!
Date patient left the trial
!
Data relating to AE/SAEs if applicable
!
Demography
!
Date of visit
Monitors must review the patient's medical records and other source data (e.g. the diaries) to ensure 
consistency and/or identify omissions compared to the 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.
See section 9.4 how drug accountability must be performed.

15 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. In cases where data is transferred 
via non-secure electronic networks, data will be encrypted during transfer. The central 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 Computerised systems
Novo Nordisk will capture and process clinical data using computerised systems that are described 
in Novo Nordisk Standard Operating Procedures and IT architecture documentation. The use and 
control of these systems are documented.
Investigators working on the trial may use their own electronic systems to capture source data.
17 Statistical considerations
If necessary, a statistical analysis plan (SAP) may be written in addition to the protocol, including a 
more technical and detailed elaboration of the statistical analyses. The SAP will be finalised before 
database lock.
No formal statistical testing will be performed. When confidence intervals are provided they will be 
two-sided 95% intervals.
17.1
Sample size calculation
Sample size is based on Indian Health Authorities(HA)requirements. Indian HA has mandated 
Novo Nordisk to perform a trial with 50 patients (completers). Based on Hanley’s formula31“the 
rule-of-three”we know that with approximately 95% power we will observe at least one patient 
with FVIII inhibitor (≥0.6 BU) if the incidence rate is as low as 6%. The same holds for any other 
type of adverse events.
17.2
Definition of analysis sets
All main descriptions and analyses of efficacy will be based on the Full Analysis Set, as definedin 
ICH E9 Guidelines (Statistical Principles for Clinical Trials).32The Full Analysis Set includes all

dosed patients with data after dosing. Only in exceptional cases will patients be excluded from the 
full analysis set. The patients to be excluded and the reasons for their exclusion must be 
documented and signed by those responsible before database lock. Only in exceptional cases data 
points will be excluded from analysis based on the full analysis set. The observations to be excluded 
from such analysis and the reasons for their exclusion must be documented and signed by those 
responsible before database lock. The patients and observations excluded from analysis sets or any 
analyses, and the reason for this, will be described in the clinical trial report.
The Safety Analysis Set will be identical to the full analysis set. The analyses of the safety 
endpoints will be based on the Safety Analysis Set. The observation period for safety analysis will 
be the on-treatment period with a post treatment window until the follow-up visit to capture all 
treatment emergent events. The observation period is therefore from fist treatment with trial drug 
(visit 2) until the follow-up visit.  
No formal Per-Protocol analysis is planned. However, the sensibility of the results with respect to 
single patient’s data may be investigated by performing additional analyses on subset s of data.
Missing inhibitor test will not be counted as a positive result. This is based on the plausible 
assumption that in case of any clinical signs of inhibitor development inhibitor testing will be 
performed in practice, so missing test is unlikely to indicate positive inhibitor.
In general the statistical analysis will be based on the available data, unless otherwise explicitly 
stated below.
17.3
Primary endpoint
!
Occurrence of confirmed FVIII inhibitors (≥0.6 BU) during 8 weeks of treatment.
A patient is said to have confirmed FVIII inhibitor when two consecutive tests are positive. In case 
of confirmation the inhibitor is considered to have been present from the first of the two tests. The 
estimand for the primary endpoint is an effectiveness estimand among all exposed subject. The 
incidence rate of 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 number of all patients with confirmed inhibitors anytime 
after baseline visit while the denominator will include the number of patients in the safety analysis 
set.
Furthermore, listings will be provided displaying inhibitor status including pertinent clinical 
information such as gene mutation.

Secondary endpoints
17.4.1.1
Efficacy endpoints
Classification of re-bleeds will be done by Novo Nordisk as part of the statistical analysis based on 
bleeding information: A re-bleed is defined as a bleed (worsening of bleeding site conditions e.g. 
swelling, pain) within 72 hours after stopping treatment 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. Relevant data listings will be repeated for re-bleeds 
separately. Minor surgery periods will be excluded from the prophylaxis treatment period. Data 
related to bleeds during these periods will be listed separately.
!
Successful haemostatic effect of turoctocog alfa on treatment of bleeding episodes during the
trial.
Haemostatic effect is assessed on a predefined four point scale: Excellent, Good, Moderate and 
None. Successful haemostatic response is defined by the categories: success (good or excellent) and 
failure (none, moderate, missing).
The haemostatic effect and successful haemostatic of turoctocog alfa will be will be summarised by 
frequency tables containing count and percentages of all bleeds. Summaries will be made separately  
by severity of haemophilia A assessed at baseline. 
The haemostatic effect and successful haemostatic effect of turoctocog alfa will also be summarised 
by the following subgroups: Cause of bleeding episode (Spontaneous, Traumatic), Site of bleeding 
(Central nervous system, Haemarthrosis (Joint), Gastrointestinal, Subcutaneous, Muscular o r other),  
and Classification of bleeding (Mild/Moderate or Severe). Details (cause, site, classification and 
time) about the bleeding episodes will also be summarised and listed.
All bleeding episodes during trial will be listed including pertinent clinical information.
!
Total annualised consumption of turoctocog alfa measured during the 8 weeks of treatment
Total consumption of turoctocog alfa (IU/kg/year) during the trial (given for either prevention, 
treatment of bleeding episodes or during surgery) will be summarised for moderate and severe
haemophilia A patients and listed by patient.
Additionally, number of turoctocog alfa infusions (injections/bleed) required per bleeding episode 
during the 8 weeks of treatment will be summarised. The number of infusions of turoctocog alfa 
required per bleed will be calculated as the number of infusions of turoctocog alfa used in the time 
period from start of the bleed to stop of the bleed. The number of infusions will be presented using 
count and percentages of all bleeds. Presentation will be done separately for moderate and severe
haemophilia A patients. Further, the turoctocog alfa consumption per bleeding episode during the 8

weeks of treatment will be summarised. The consumption of turoctocog alfa (IU/kg BW/bleed) will 
be calculated as the consumption of turoctocog alfa used from start of the bleed to stop of the bleed. 
The consumption will be summarised for moderate and severe haemophilia A patients and listed by 
patient.
17.4.1.2
Safety endpoints
!
Frequency of ARs and SARs reported until follow-up, 12 weeks after the first treatment.
An AR is an AE where the causality is rated as probable or possible by the investigator, similar for 
SAR. ARs and SARs will be analysed by severity of haemophilia A assessed at baseline.
All ARs and SARs will be summarised by frequency of events and frequency of patients with any 
event. Similar summaries cross-classified by severity will be made. 
All AE’s and SAEs will be summarised by frequency of events and frequency of patients with an y 
event. Similar summaries cross-classified by severity will be made. These summary will be made 
by severity of haemophilia A assessed at baseline.
ARs, SARs, AEs, SAEs will be summarised by SOC and PT.
Furthermore, listings will be provided displaying all AEs and SAEs including pertinent clinical 
information.
Separate list will be performed for adverse events with onset before first trial drug or after the 
follow up visit (if any).
!
Frequency of allergic or infusion reactions related to the trial product reported until follow-
up,12 weeks after first treatment.
This endpoint will be reported without additional summaries or listings. The reporting will be based 
on the overall summaries and listings for ARs and SARs.

18 Ethics
The trial will be conducted in compliance with ICH GCP1and applicable regulatory requirements, 
and in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.2
No patientwill consent to the trial before all required IRB/IEC and regulatory approvals have been 
obtained for the trial. 
18.1
Benefit-risk assessment of the trial
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 reaction 
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 A, 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.
The potential benefits to the patients treated with turoctocog alfa include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.
18.2
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 Indian
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.
If the minor reaches legal age while participating in the trial and has only signed an age specific 
informed consent/assent form, the patient has to re-consent to the informed consent form signed by 
the patient’s LAR.
18.3
Informed consent for genotyping
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 
They can abstain from the genetic testing and still participate in the trial.

Informed consent for future research (biospecimen)
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. They can abstain from the additional blood sample and still participate 
in the trial. 
Furthermore, this informed consent also request to store other blood samples for future research, see 
section 8.5.3.2.
18.5
Data handling
If the patient withdraws from the trial or is lost to follow up, then the patient’s data will be handled 
as follows:
!
Data already collected and any data collected at the end-of-trial visit will be retained by Novo
Nordisk, entered into the database and used for the clinical 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.
18.6
Information to the patients during 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 written information to patients must be sent to IRB/IEC for approval/favourable opinion and to 
regulatory authorities for approval or notification according to local regulations.
18.7
Premature termination of the trial and/or trial site
Novo Nordisk, the IRBs/IECs or a regulatory authority may decide to stop the trial, part of the trial 
or a trial site at any time, but agreement on procedures to be followed must be obtained.
If the trial is suspended or prematurely terminated, the investigator must inform the patients 
promptly and ensure appropriate therapy and follow-up. The investigator and/or Novo Nordisk must 
also promptly inform the regulatory authorities and IRBs/IECs and provide a detailed written

for all trial-related medical decisions.
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 trial master file. The documents including the subject identification 
code list must be kept in a secure locked facility, so no unauthorized persons can get access to the 
data. 
The investigator will take all necessary technical and organisational safety measures to prevent 
accidental or wrongful destruction, loss or deterioration of data. The investigator will prevent any 
unauthorised access to data or any other processing of data against applicable law. The investigator 
must be able to provide the necessary information or otherwise demonstrate to Novo Nordisk that 
such technical and organisational safety measures have been taken.

23 Reports and publications
The information obtained during the conduct of this trial is considered confidential,and may be 
used by or on behalf of Novo Nordisk for regulatory purposes as well as for the general 
development of the trial product. All information supplied by Novo Nordisk in connection with this 
trial shall remain the sole property of Novo Nordisk and is to be considered confidential 
information. 
No confidential information shall be disclosed to others without prior written consent from Novo 
Nordisk. Such information shall not be used except in the performance of this trial. The information 
obtained during this trial may be made available to other physicians who are conducting other 
clinical trials with the trial product, if deemed necessary by Novo Nordisk. Provided that certain 
conditions are fulfilled, Novo Nordisk may grant access to information obtained during this trial to 
researchers who require access for research projects studying the same disease and/or trial product 
studied in this trial.
Novo Nordisk may publish on its clinical trials website a redacted clinical trial report for this trial.
One investigator will be appointed by Novo Nordisk 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.33
23.1
Communication of results
Novo Nordisk commits to communicating, and otherwise making available for public disclosure, 
results of trials regardless of outcome. Public disclosure includes publication of a paper in a 
scientific journal, abstract submission with a poster or oral presentation at a scientific meeting, or 
disclosure by other means.
The results of this trial will be subjectto public disclosure on external web sites according to 
international and national regulations, as reflected in the Novo Nordisk Code of Conduct for 
Clinical Trial Disclosure.22
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.

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 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.
23.1.1
Authorship
Authorship of publications should be in accordance with the Uniform Requirements of the 
International Committee of Medical Journal Editors33(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 criteria 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.
23.1.2
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 of a primary publication will take 
place no later than 18 months after trial completion.

24 Retention of clinical trial documentation and human biosamples
24.1
Retention of clinical trial documentation
Patient’s medical records must be kept for the maximum period permitted by the hospital, 
institution or private practice.
The investigator must agree to archive the documentation (this includes both electronic and paper-
based records) pertaining to the trial in an archive after completion or discontinuation of the trial if 
not otherwise notified. The investigator should not destroy any documents without prior permission 
from Novo Nordisk. If the investigator cannot archive the documents at the trial site, Novo Nordisk 
can refer the investigator to an independent archive provider that has a system in place to allow only 
the investigator to access the files.
The investigator must be able to access his/her trial documents without involving Novo Nordisk in 
any way. 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 
supplied by Novo Nordisk. These data must be retained by the trial site. If the 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 at least 20 years 
after discontinuation of the marketing authorisation, termination of the trial or cancellation of the 
research project whichever is longest.
The files from the trial site/institution must be retained for 15 years a fter end of trial as defined in 
section 7, or longer if required by local regulations or Novo Nordisk. In any case trial files cannot 
be destroyed until the trial site/institution is notified by Novo Nordisk. The deletion process must 
ensure confidentiality of data and must be done in accordance with local regulatory requirements.  
24.2
Retention of human biosamples
Biospecimens will be collected and stored for potential future assessments. The samples will be 
stored by a biorepository for up to 15 years from end of trial after which all samples will be 
destroyed according to standard operating procedures by the biorepository. The potential future 
assessments may address issues such as unexpected safety events, refinement of the PK or anti-drug 
antibody assessments and to improve the understanding of the mechanism of action. As new 
biomarkers related to the disease and/or safety, efficacy, immunogenicity, or mechanism of action 
may evolve during the conduct of the trial, the analyses of the stored biospecimens may also include 
biomarkers that are unknown at present or have not been included in the scientific hypotheses at 
initiation of the trial. In the event that the collected biospecimens (specific whole blood, plasma and 
serum samples) will be used in the future, the investigator will be informed directly 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. 
Patients may at any time contact the investigator if they wish to be informed about results derived 
from stored biospecimens obtained from their own body.
The samples might be transferred to other countries, if not prohibited by local regulations. The
patient’s identity will remain confidential and samples will be marked and identified by a unique
sample ID. No direct identification of the patient will be stored together with the samples. The 
analyses will not have any medical consequences for the patients or their relatives. Only Novo 
Nordisk staff and biorepository personnel will have access to the stored biospecimens. Antibody 
and inhibitor samples will be retained for later analysis for further characterisation of antibody 
responses towards trial drug if required by health authorities or for safety reasons. Remaining blood 
from the samples already collected may be used for further development of Anti-Drug antibody 
assays, and will not be reported in this study.
The samples will be stored at a central bio-repository after end of trial and until marketing 
authorisation approval or until the research project terminates, but no longer than 15 years from end 
of trial after which they will be destroyed. The patient’s identity will remain confidential and the 
samples will be identified only by subject number, visit number and trial identification number. No 
direct identification of the patient will be stored together with the samples.
Only Novo Nordisk staff and bio-repository personnel will have access to the stored anti-body 
samples.
Patient can contact the investigator if they wish to be informed about results derived from stored
antibody samples obtained from their own body.
