Background information and rationale for the trial
The trial will be conducted in compliance with this protocol, International Conference on 
Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use
(ICH) GCP1 and applicable regulatory requirements, and in accordance with the Declaration of 
Helsinki2. 
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
Haemophilia
Haemophilia A is a rare congenital bleeding disorder that manifest as abnormal bleeding 
tendency due to deficiency in coagulation factor VIII (FVIII). Haemophilia A has an incidence 
of approximately 1 in 5,000 male births3. Currently, it is recommended to treat haemophilia 
with coagulation factor replacement therapy; either on demand (OD) treatment of bleeding 
episodes or regular prophylaxis (PPX) for prevention of bleeds4. The factor replacement therapy 
is administered as intravenous (i.v.) injections of the deficient clotting factor. Regular PPX has 
increasingly become preferred over OD treatment in order to prevent progressive destructive 
joint damage, which is one of the most significant late stage effects of repeated joint bleeds 
potentially progressing into crippling disability, chronic pain, and functional limitations severely 
impairing quality of life5, 6.
The most serious complication of factor replacement therapy is development of inhibitory 
antibodies (inhibitors) compromising or completely eliminating the effect of factor replacement 
therapy. This complication occurs in about 30% of patients with severe haemophilia A7.
For an assessment of benefits and risks of the trial, see Section 18.1.
3.1.2
Subcutaneous turoctocog alfa pegol (SC N8-GP)
turoctocog alfa pegol (N8-GP) is a long-acting recombinant factor eight (rFVIII) compound 
currently in clinical development for i.v. treatment of haemophilia A (NN7088; pathfinderTM
clinical programme). In non-human primates, N8-GP has a significantly increased 
bioavailability in comparison to rFVIII after subcutaneous (s.c.) administration, indicating that 
FVIII activity levels suitable for prophylactic treatment may be obtainable also in humans. No 
safety signal in terms of increased incidence has been observed in the N8-GP i.v. programme. 
An isotonic and close to neutral pH formulation of N8-GP has been developed for s.c. 
administration (SC N8-GP) and it could provide clinically relevant benefit of increased 
convenience in regular prophylaxis for patients with haemophilia A, while at the same time

maintaining a sufficient average FVIII activity level comparable to or above the trough level 
achieved with i.v. FVIII treatment.
The purpose of the NN7170-4213 trial is to evaluate safety including immunogenicity (anti-drug 
antibody development), local tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary efficacy of 
SC N8-GP used as regular prophylaxis in previously treated patients (PTPs) with severe 
haemophilia A. The NN7170-4213 trial is the first clinical trial with SC N8-GP, and thus 
follows a cautious approach, starting with single dose exposure of ascending dose levels with 
safety assessments between dose levels prior to multiple dose exposure. 
3.1.3
Immune Tolerance Induction
Formation of neutralising antibodies (inhibitors) against FVIII is a known complication in the 
management of individuals with haemophilia A. The risk of inhibitor formation varies 
depending on patient population. In PTPs the cumulative risk of inhibitor formation is 2-3 per 
1000 patients/ year whereas in previously untreated patients (PUPs) the risk is around 30%7. 
Inhibitors in haemophilia A are usually IgG immunoglobulins directed against the FVIII pro-
coagulant activity, which are quantified in Bethesda Units (BU). Inhibitor development is a 
serious complication for patients with haemophilia A due to the increased risk of uncontrolled 
bleeding and therefor an increased morbidity and mortality. Additionally, patients with 
inhibitors experience a decrease in quality of life and an increase in health related cost of 
treatment compared to haemophilia A patients without inhibitors8. s.c administration of 
therapeutic proteins (including N8-GP) may potentially have a higher immunogenicity 
compared to i.v. administration9, and should a patient develop an inhibitor towards FVIII during 
NN7170-4213, immune tolerance induction (ITI) may be indicated. Should the FVIII activity 
measures (recovery) and/or bleed pattern indicate a lack of clinical response to treatment in 
patients with low titre inhibitor, the patient will be regarded as having a clinically relevant 
inhibitor.
ITI constitutes of regular administration of usually high doses of factor concentrate to 
haemophilia A patients with inhibitors. By repeated exposures, ITI treatment aims at inducing 
immunologic tolerance and hereby disappearance of the inhibitor and thereby making regular 
FVIII replacement therapy feasible. Various ITI treatment regimens exist with differences in 
dose, frequency and with or without use of immunosuppression. Bleeding episodes in patients 
undergoing ITI and in chronic inhibitor patients are usually treated with “bypassing agents” e.g. 
recombinant activated factor VII (rVIIa) or plasma derived activated prothrombin complex 
concentrate4.
The International Immune Tolerance study compared a high dose FVIII regimen (200 
units/kg/day) with a low dose regimen (50 units/kg/3 times per week) and found that the overall 
success rate did not differ between the two study arms10. However, they showed that time to 
achieve defined success of ITI was significantly shorter in the high-dose regimen and that

patients in the low-dose arm experienced more bleeds compared to patients in the high-dose 
treatment arm. 
ITI therapy is the first-choice approach in patients with high titre FVIII inhibitors, and the only 
proven strategy for eradicating FVIII inhibitors11.
3.2
Rationale for the trial
The purpose of this exploratory trial is to provide ITI treatment using turocotocog alfa and to 
evaluate safety and efficacy of ITI treatment in patient(s) who have developed neutralising 
antibodies (inhibitors) against FVIII, after exposure to SC N8-GP in the NN7170-4213 trial. 
ITI treatment is not an authorised indication for turoctocog alfa, therefore it is considered as
investigational use, and the ITI treatment will for that reason be conducted in the setting of a 
separate exploratory trial. 
With current knowledge, the benefit/risk ratio for using turoctocog alfa for ITI treatment is 
expected to be favourable.

Trial design
5.1
Type of trial
The trial is a single arm, open-label, interventional trial. In this trial, PTPs with haemophilia A,
who have developed clinically relevant inhibitors during the NN7170-4213 trial, will be offered 
ITI treatment with turoctocog alfa. 
The trial duration for a single patient will be maximum 31 months (visit 1 to visit 11) with a 
maximum treatment period of 24 months. During treatment period, patients will be called for 
visits to the clinic every 3rd month (Figure 5–1). After approximately 12 months treatment, a 
stop/go visit (visit 6) will take place where ITI treatment response will be evaluated based on 
the inhibitor titre.
Figure 5–1
Trial overview
Each box represents one visit. The Stop/Go visit taking place after 12 months of ITI treatment 
with turoctocog alfa is represented by the light blue box (visit 6).
5.2
Rationale for trial design
The concept of this trial design is to follow local clinical practice for offering and monitoring 
ITI treatment.
5.3
Treatment of patients
All patients entering this trial will receive the same trial product: turoctocog alfa for i.v. 
administration.
ITI dosing will be decided at the investigators discretion in accordance with local practice.
However, a maximum dose of 200 IU/kg daily is defined. The trial product should be 
administered by the patient or patient’s caregiver between the scheduled visits. 
Besides the 11 planned visits, monitoring and evaluation of ITI treatment response can be done 
during ITI response visits at the investigators discretion (see Section 8.1.7). The ITI treatment 
response visits can be done at any time during the trial.

Bleeding episodes that occur during the trial can be treated with FVIII or bypassing agents 
according to local practice (see Section 8.3.2).
5.4
Treatment after discontinuation of trial product
When discontinuing trial product, either at the scheduled end of treatment (EOT) visit or if trial 
product is discontinued prematurely according to discontinuation criteria 1 or 2 (see section 
6.4), the patient can be switched to a suitable marketed product at the discretion of the 
investigator. 
Upon successful ITI treatment in accordance with the outlined criteria (see Section 4.2.2), the 
patient will leave the trial. The patients may then be switched to a suitable marketed FVIII 
product at the discretion of the investigator.
5.5
Rationale for treatment
The key rationale for using turoctocog alfa for ITI treatment in this trial, is the long term safety 
record and the fact that turoctocog alfa has the same protein backbone as SC N8-GP which is 
based on the approved Novo Nordisk product NovoEight® (active substance, turoctocog alfa). 
Furthermore, a newly published article has presented the first published case on the use of 
turoctocog alfa for ITI treatment where a rapid success of ITI treatment was found even though 
the inhibitor was elicited by a plasma derived FVIII product12.
Due to the s.c. route of administration, SC N8-GP is not considered a feasible choice for ITI 
treatment where high plasma concentrations are targeted. Moreover, N8-GP for i.v. use is 
currently undergoing investigation (including use for ITI in PUP’s) in an ongoing Novo Nordisk 
development programme, and the results are not yet available.
The dose and the dosing regimen will be chosen at the investigators discretion in accordance 
with local practice.

Methods and assessments
8.1
Visit procedures
The following sessions describe the assessments and procedures (see Section 2) and outline of visit 
procedures (see Figure 8–1). 
Informed consent must be obtained before any trial related activity, see section 18.2.
A screening session will be completed at visit 1. At the screening, patients will be provided with a 
card stating that they are participating in a trial and giving contact address(es) and telephone 
number(s) of relevant trial site staff. Patients should be instructed to return the card to the 
investigator at the last trial visit, or to destroy the card after the last visit.
The investigator must keep a patient screening log, a patient identification code list and a patient 
enrolment log. The patient screening log and patient enrolment log may be combined into one log. 
Only patients who have signed the informed consent form should be included in the logs. 
Each patient entering this trial will keep the unique 6-digit subject number from the trial NN7170-
4213 at the time point when FVIII inhibitor development was confirmed (part A or part B from 
NN7170-4213). This unique 6-digit subject number will remain the same throughout the trial.
An unscheduled visit can be performed at any time during the trial at the discretion of the 
investigator. The unscheduled visit must be documented in the case report form (CRF).
Screening failures: For screening failures the following must be completed in the screening failure 
form in the CRF: 
!
Date of screening visit
!
Date of informed consent
!
Demographics (sex, date of birth and race) 
!
Violated inclusion/exclusion criteria
!

SAE
Follow-up on SAEs must be carried out according to Section 12. 
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 
according to discontinuation criteria 1 and 2 (see Section 6.4), the investigator must undertake 
procedures similar to those for visit 10 as soon as possible after discontinuation of trial product. In

addition, the follow up visit should be performed approximately 30 days after discontinuation of 
trial product.
The primary reason for premature discontinuation of trial product must be specified in the end-of-
treatment form in the CRF and final drug accountability must be performed. The affirmation 
statement in the CRF must be signed.
Withdrawal from trial: If a patient withdraws consent, the investigator must aim to undertake 
procedures similar to those for visit 10 as soon as possible after discontinuation of trial product. If 
patient agrees, follow-up visit should be performed approximately 30 days after discontinuation of 
trial product.
The end-of-trial form must be completed, and final drug accountability must be performed even if 
the patient is not able to come to the trial site. The affirmation statement 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 CRF.
Data review: Review of laboratory reports etc. must be documented either on the documents or in 
the patient’s medical record.

8.1.7
ITI response visit
If the investigator suspects ITI treatment success at any time during the trial, the patient should be 
called in for ITI response visits. If ITI treatment success is confirmed, the patient must attend a 
second confirmatory ITI response visit. If the success criteria are not met, the patient will continue 
with ITI treatment. The details of any ITI response visit will be decided for each individual patient 
according to local practice and at the discretion of the investigator. ITI response visits should be 
preceded by a 72-hour treatment-free washout period prior to the visit to avoid that any residual 
FVIII impact on inhibitor analysis. The 72-hour treatment-free washout should be recorded in the 
CRF. 
8.1.7.1
First ITI response visit
During the first ITI response visit, the following assessments must be performed and recorded in the 
CRF:

IU/Kg.
8.1.7.2
Second ITI response visit
The second ITI response visit should preferably take place within 14 days after the first ITI 
response visit. The same parameters as for the first ITI response visit will be tested as a 
confirmatory test during the second ITI response visit. If the success criteria are achieved, ITI 
treatment will be stopped and the patient will attend visit 10 as soon as possible. The follow-up visit
should be performed approximately 30 days after discontinuation of trial product. The following

Unscheduled visit
If the patient is still inhibitor positive after 12 months of ITI treatment (visit 6), a confirmatory 
FVIII inhibitor peak titre decline level should be measured during unscheduled visit and recorded in 
the CRF. 
If the patient attends the clinic outside the visit schedule, the unscheduled visit form in the CRF 
should be completed if trial related. The unscheduled visit form in the CRF should not be completed 
if the patient attends the clinic only to obtain trial supplies or for re-scheduling visits. The 
investigator may at any time during the trial perform an unscheduled visit. 
The investigator may at any time during the trial perform inhibitor analysis at an unscheduled visit.
8.2
Patient related information/assessments 
8.2.1
Concomitant illness other than haemophilia
A concomitant illness is any illness that is present at the start of the trial (i.e. at the first visit or 
specify when) or found as a result of a screening procedure or other trial procedures performed 
before exposure to trial product.
The information collected for concomitant illness should include diagnosis, date of onset and date 
of resolution or continuation, 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. If the change influences the patient’s 
eligibility to continue in the trial then the monitor must be informed.
8.2.2
Concomitant medication
A concomitant medication is any medication, other than the trial product which is taken during the 
trial, including the screening and follow-up periods.
Details of any concomitant medication must be recorded at visit 1. Changes in concomitant 
medication must be recorded at each visit as they occur. 
The information collected for each concomitant medication includes trade name or generic name, 
indication, start date and stop date or continuation. The dose should also be collected if available.

If a change is due to an AE, then this must be reported according to Section 12. If the change 
influences the patient’s eligibility to continue in the trial, the monitor must be informed.
Concomitant medication also includes use of haemostatic medication other than trial product used 
to treat or prevent a bleed during the trial.
8.3
Efficacy assessments
8.3.1
FVIII inhibitors
The patient will be assessed for FVIII inhibitors before dosing in all visits during the treatment 
period, as well as during the safety follow-up visit.
Blood samples for measurement of inhibitors towards FVIII will be analysed. All analyses for 
inhibitors will be performed by the local laboratory.
An inhibitor test with a result <0.6 BU (or LLoQ if above 0.6 BU) will be considered a negative 
inhibitor test. Once the first negative inhibitor results are available, the patient must attend ITI 
response visits as soon as possible. A patient is verified inhibitor negative (<0.6 or LLoQ if above
0.6 BU) if two consecutive samples are negative after 72 hour washout-out.  A patient having an 
initial negative inhibitor test and a second positive inhibitor test will be regarded as inhibitor 
positive and can continue in the trial.
Upon successful ITI treatment (see Section 4.2.2) the patient will leave the trial after attending the 
two ITI response visits, visit 10, and follow-up visit. The patients may be switched to a suitable 
marketed FVIII product at the discretion of the investigator.
All per protocol inhibitor analyses will be performed by the local laboratory, and only these results 
will be used in the trial data analysis.
8.3.2
Bleeding episodes
Bleeding episodes that occur during the trial can be treated with trial product (turoctocog alfa), 
FVIII other than trial product, or bypassing agents (recombinant FVIIa or Activated prothrombin 
complex concentrates) with a treatment regimen according to local practice.
Use of turoctocog alfa for treatment of bleeds is mainly indicated in relation to final stage of a 
successful ITI treatment, when the inhibitor is almost eradicated and the patient experiences clinical 
response to FVIII treatment. It is therefore expected that only a minor fraction of the total 
turoctocog alfa consumption for each patient will be used for treatment of bleeds. 
Bleeding episodes will be recorded in the CRF during planned visits. The following must be 
recorded for all periods in between scheduled visits:

8.3.3
Incremental Recovery
Incremental recovery should be calculated at every scheduled visit, including ITI response visit (see 
Section 8.1.7). The investigator should calculate the incremental recovery based on FVIII recovery
30 ± 15 min post dose, FVIII trough level, administered dose and patient weight, see Section 
17.4.1.3. All the above assessments must be recorded in the CRF.

Pharmacokinetic assessments
PK sessions can be performed during the ITI response visits (see Section 8.1.7), if deemed relevant 
by the investigator, and will be based on FVIII recovery and FVIII trough level. The half-life should
be calculated by the investigator (see Section 17.4.1.2) and recorded in the CRF.
Guidance for PK assessments
As a recommendation; In addition to a pre-dose sample and a recovery sample, a minimum of three 
PK samples (LLoQ) should be taken between 6-28 hours after administration of turoctocog alfa for 
half-life determination. Further, there must be at least 20 hours between the first and the last (of 
minimum 3) PK samples used for half-life calculation (see Figure 8–2 for guidance).

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: 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 concomitant illness).
!
Pre-planned procedures unless the condition for which the procedure was planned has 
worsened from the first trial related activity after the patient has signed the informed 
consent.
!
Bleeding events and other symptoms (e.g. pain, swelling, synovitis, arthralgia, injection site 
haematoma) in connection with bleeding episodes should not be reported as AE/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 should always be 
reported as 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 
o
Mild – no or transient symptoms, no interference with the patient’s daily activities.
o
Moderate – marked symptoms, moderate interference with the patients’s daily 
activities.
o
Severe – considerable interference with the patients’s daily activities; unacceptable.
!
Causality 
Relationship between an AE and the relevant trial product(s): 
o
Probable - Good reason and sufficient documentation to assume a causal 
relationship.
o
Possible - A causal relationship is conceivable and cannot be dismissed.
o
Unlikely - The event is most likely related to aetiology other than the trial product.
!
Final outcome
o
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.
o
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.
o
Recovered/resolved with sequelae - The patient has recovered from the condition, 
but with lasting effect due to a disease, injury, treatment or procedure. If a sequela 
meets an SAE criterion, the AE must be reported as an SAE.
o
Not recovered/not resolved - The condition of the patient has not improved and the 
symptoms are unchanged, or the outcome is not known.
o
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.
o
Unknown - This term is only applicable if the patient is lost to follow-up.
12.1.2
Serious adverse event
A SAE is an experience that at any dose results in any of the following:
!
Death.
!
A life-threateninga experience.
!
In-patient hospitalisationb or prolongation of existing hospitalisation.
!
A persistent or significant disability or incapacityc.
!
A congenital anomaly or birth defect.

Important medical events that may not result in death, be life threateninga or require 
hospitalisationb may be considered an SAE when - based on appropriate medical judgement 
- they may jeopardise the patient and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent 
one of the outcomes listed in the definition of SAEd. 
a. The term “life threatening” in the definition of SAE refers to an event in which the patient was at 
risk of death at the time of the event. It does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have 
caused death if it was more severe.
b. The term “hospitalisation” is used when a patient: 
–
Is admitted to a hospital or in-patient, irrespective of the duration of physical stay, or 
–
Stays at the hospital for treatment or observation for more than 24 hours
Medical judgement must always be exercised, and when in doubt, the hospital contact should be 
regarded as a hospitalisation. Hospitalisations for administrative, trial related and social purposes do 
not constitute AEs and should therefore not be reported as AEs or SAEs. Hospital admissions for 
surgical procedures, planned before trial inclusion, are not considered AEs or SAEs.
c. A substantial disruption of a patient’s ability to conduct normal life functions (e.g. following the 
event or clinical investigation the patient has significant, persistent or permanent change, 
impairment, damage or disruption in his/her body function or structure, physical activity and/or 
quality of life).
d. For example intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home of allergic bronchospasm, 
blood 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:
!
Suspicion of transmission of infectious agents via the trial product 
!
Risk of liver injury defined as alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase >3 x 
UNL and total bilirubin >2 x UNL, where no alternative aetiology exists (Hy's law).
12.1.3
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 Dispensing unit number (DUN) is not considered a medication error unless 
it results in administration of wrong drug.
!
Wrong route of administration, such as intramuscular.
!
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 8.4.1.1
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 AEs require the completion of specific event forms in the CRF:
!
Hypersensitivity reaction.
For details, see Section 8.4.1.2.
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 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 CRF 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, either 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 should report the 
diagnosis, if available. If no diagnosis is available, the investigator should record each sign and 
symptom as individual AEs using separate AE forms.  
For SAEs, a paper 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. 
For all non-serious AEs, the applicable forms should be signed when the event is resolved or at the 
end of the trial at the latest.
Timelines for initial reporting of AEs:
The investigator must complete the following forms in the CRF within the specified timelines:
!
SAEs: The AE form within 24 hours and the paper safety information form within 5 
calendar days of the investigator’s first knowledge of the SAE.
For 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.
The paper forms or safety information form and specific event forms for AESIs must be forwarded 
to Novo Nordisk either by fax, e-mail or courier. 
Contact details (fax, telephone, e-mail and address) are provided in the investigator trial master file.

Reporting of AEs 
Reporting of trial product-related SUSARs by Novo Nordisk:
Novo Nordisk will notify the investigator of trial product-related suspected unexpected serious 
adverse reactions (SUSARs) in accordance with local requirements and ICH GCP1. In addition, the 
investigator will be informed of any trial-related SAEs that may warrant a change in any trial 
procedure.
In accordance with regulatory requirements, Novo Nordisk will inform the regulatory authorities, 
including European Medicines Agency, of trial product-related SUSARs. In addition, Novo Nordisk
will inform the IRBs/IECs of trial product-related SUSARs in accordance with local requirement 
and ICH GCP1, unless locally this is an obligation of the investigator.
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.

The investigator must forward follow-up information as corrections to the original forms or by 
using a new form marked as follow-up.
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 should report this SAE within the same timelines as for SAEs 
during the trial.

13 Case report forms
In this trial, the CRF will be paper-based.
CRFs will be provided by Novo Nordisk A/S. The activities for preparation of the CRFs will be 
under the direction of Novo Nordisk A/S.
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 
signing the affirmation statement, the investigator confirms that the information in the CRF and 
related forms is complete and correct.
13.1
Corrections to case report forms 
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). If corrections are made by the investigator’s 
delegated staff after the date of the investigator’s signature on the affirmation statement, the 
affirmation statement must be signed and dated again by the investigator.
Corrections necessary after the CRFs have been removed from the trial site must be documented on 
a data clarification form (DCF) or a monitor -initiated discrepancy form (MIDF). If the affirmation 
statement for the patient has not yet been signed, any corrections must be approved by the 
investigator or her/his delegated staff. If the affirmation statement for the patient has already been 
signed, the investigator must approve any correction.
13.2
Case report form flow 
The investigator must ensure that data is recorded in the CRF as soon as possible after the visit.
CRFs will be supplied on paper-sets including the required different coloured original and a copy. 
The original will be collected by the monitor. Once monitored, the CRFs are provided to Data 
Management. From this stage, the CRFs are not modified anymore and all requested modifications 
are traced on paper DCFs or MIDFs. One copy of the CRF will be retained at the site.
Results from central laboratory will be provided in a format which is loadable into the clinical 
database of the sponsor.

14 Monitoring procedures 
During the course of the trial, the monitor will visit the trial site to ensure that the CRFs are 
completed correctly and the protocol adhered to, to perform source data verification, monitor drug 
accountability and collect completed CRF pages. The first monitoring visit will be performed as 
soon as possible after FPFV at the trial site and no later than 4 weeks after. The monitoring visit 
intervals will depend on the trial site's recruitment rate and the compliance of the trial site to the 
protocol and GCP, but will not exceed 12 weeks until LPLV at the trial site.
The monitor must be given direct access to all 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 trial, 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 CRF, except for the following 
data that may be recorded directly in the CRFs, and will be considered source data:
!
Body measurements.
!
Vital signs.
!
Physical examination.
!
ECG evaluation.
If source data is entered directly in a paper CRF, each data entry or clear series of data entry must 
be signed and dated separately by the trial staff making the entry.
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 signed laboratory reports are source data and should be archived at the trial site. 
Source data generated by the trial site can be corrected by another person than the person entering 
the source data if accepted by local regulations; any correction must be explained, signed and dated 
by the person making the correction.
The monitor will ensure that the CRFs are completed and collected.

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 patient and any biological material obtained from the patient will be identified by subject
number and trial ID. 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
Novo Nordisk will be responsible for the statistical analysis.
No testing of statistical hypotheses will be performed. Evaluation of data will be based on 
descriptive statistics, i.e. summary tables and listings.
Generally, data will be presented according to whether they occur prior to ITI treatment (from Visit 
1 to Visit 2), during ITI treatment with turoctocog alfa or after ITI treatment. End of ITI treatment is 
either defined as; the second ITI response visit at which successful ITI is confirmed and terminated 
or at Visit 10, if ITI is not terminated before a second ITI response visit. 
Summaries will not be prepared if the trial only enrols 3 or fewer patients.
When calculating actual dose in IU/kg based on reported volume, the last measured body weight 
must be used.
17.1
Sample size calculation
No formal sample size calculations have been performed, since the number of patients in the trial 
depends on the number of patients developing inhibitors in the preceding NN7170-4213 trial that 
require ITI treatment. This number is expected to be low, but cannot otherwise be robustly 
predicted. 
17.2
Definition of analysis sets
All patients initiating ITI treatment with turoctocog alfa will be included in the Safety Analysis Set 
(SAS), as well as the Full Analysis Set.
17.3
Primary endpoint
The primary endpoint is the number of adverse events during ITI treatment with turoctocog alfa.
AEs will be summarised by preferred term during ITI treatment (from visit 2), before ITI treatment, 
after ITI treatment as well as total AEs. Similar summaries will be presented by severity and causal 
relation to trial product.
In addition, listings of all AEs and SAEs will be provided with indication of which period they have 
occurred in.

Secondary endpoints
17.4.1
Supportive secondary endpoints
17.4.1.1
Secondary efficacy endpoints
As secondary efficacy endpoint, the trial defines response to ITI treatment (success, partial success, 
failure, other) within a maximum ITI treatment duration of 24 months.
The ITI treatment response categories referred in the endpoint are defined according to the 
following criteria:
!
Success (all criteria need to be fulfilled):
o
Undetectable inhibitor titre < 0.6 BU (or LLoQ if above 0.6 BU).
o
Normalised FVIII in vivo recovery, defined as H 0.013 (IU/ml)/(IU/kg) (66% of 
expected incremental recovery).
o
turoctocog alfa half-life H 7 hours (based on FVIII activity) after 72-hrs treatment-
free washout period1.
!
Partial success (all criteria need to be fulfilled):
o
Inhibitor titre J5 BU.
o
Clinical response to turoctocog alfa therapy as judged by the investigator.
!
Failure (one criterion need to be fulfilled):
o
Failure to attain defined success or partial success after 24 months of ITI treatment 
with turoctocog alfa.
o
Decrease in inhibitor titre after 12 months of ITI treatment <20% compared to peak 
titre.
!
Other (one criterion needs to be achieved): 
o
Patients not fulfilling the above criteria e.g. early withdrawal from ITI treatment, 
lack of adherence to recommended ITI protocol etc.
1If turoctocog alfa half-life is not calculated, the success criteria is achieved if the patient fulfils the 
first two criteria.
17.4.1.2
Pharmacokinetic endpoints
It is up to the discretion of the investigator to decide whether actual PK sampling session will be 
conducted in order to calculate the half-life as supplement in the evaluation of inhibitor status and 
response to ITI treatment. PK parameters are therefore optional and not defined as actual endpoints. 
The PK parameters are described in the subsequent section 17.4.1.3.

17.4.1.3
Pharmacokinetic assessments
FVIII trough level and FVIII recovery will be summarised and listed. Incremental recovery is 
calculated as the baseline subtracted FVIII activity post dosing (IU/ml) divided by the actual dose 
(IU/kg).
If blood sampling is conducted as specifies in Section 8.3.5.1, half-life should be calculated as t½ = 
ln(2) / Yz, where Yz is the elimination rate (slope) estimated using linear regression on the logarithm 
of the collected minimum 3 values larger than LLoQ as described in section 8.3.5.1. The time-
points and FVIII activity values used for calculating t½ should be recorded in the CRF, see Section 
8.1.7.
17.5
Other assessments
A number of assessments not specified as endpoints are collected during the trial, covering the 
following:
!
Concomitant medication.
!
Bleeding episodes.
!
Lupus anticoagulant.
!
Antibodies.
The following data collected in trial NN7170-4213 will be transferred and presented in this trial 
(NN7170-4345).
!
Demography.
!
Medical history.
!
Haemophilia treatment and bleed history.
!
Details of Haemophilia.
The listed assessments will be summarized by trial period (before, during and after ITI treatment) as 
well as listed. Bleeding episodes are reported by the patient at the planned visits to the clinic, see 
Section 8.3.1.

18 Ethics
The trial will be conducted in compliance with ICH GCP 1 and applicable regulatory requirements, 
and in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki2.
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
The key arguments for offering turoctocog alfa for ITI is its long term safety record and because 
turoctocog alfa has the same protein backbone as SC N8-GP that is based on the approved Novo 
Nordisk product NovoEight® (active substance, turoctocog alfa). Further, a newer article has 
presented the first published case on the use of turoctocog alfa for ITI treatment, and found a rapid 
success of ITI treatment, this despite that the inhibitor was elicited by a plasma derived FVIII 
product12. So far no FVIII product has been approved for ITI treatment and therefor the risk profile 
for this mode of treatment is still not fully established. However; ITI therapy is the f irst-choice 
approach in patients with high responding FVIII inhibitors, and the only proven strategy for 
eradicating FVIII inhibitors11. It is expected that the risk/benefit profile of turoctocog alfa is similar 
to that of other FVIII contacting product currently used for ITI treatment.
The safety profile of turoctocog alfa is similar to that of other marketed rFVIII products, which has 
been confirmed in the completed clinical trials. No special clinical risks have been identified for 
turoctocog alfa. The risk of transmission of viral and other blood-borne diseases has been virtually 
eliminated as the product is produced by a serum-free process and using a 20 nm filtration step. As 
with any intravenous protein product allergic hypersensitivity reactions may occur.
It is evaluated that the potential benefits of turoctocog alfa for ITI treatment outweigh the 
recognised risks.
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 
Helsinki2.
Before any trial-related activity, the investigator must give the patient and/or the patient’s LAR 
verbal and written information about the trial and the procedures involved in a form that the patient 
or the patient’s LAR can read and understand. This includes the use of an impartial witness where 
required according to local requirements.
The patients or the patient’s 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 ample time to come to a decision whether or not to 
participate in the trial. 
A voluntary, signed and personally dated informed consent must be obtained from the patient 
and/or the patient’s LAR before any trial-related activity.  
All minors under the age of 18 must sign an assent form. 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. 
The responsibility for seeking informed consent must remain with the investigator, but the 
investigator may delegate the task to a medically qualified person, in accordance with local 
requirements. The written informed consent 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 be relevant to the patient’s willingness to continue 
participating in the trial, the investigator must inform the patient and/or the patient’s LAR in a 
timely manner, and a revised written patient information must be provided and a new informed 
consent must be obtained.
18.3
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 including follow up 
visits 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.
18.4
Information to patients during trial
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.
18.5
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

19 Protocol compliance
19.1
Protocol deviations
Deviations from the protocol should be avoided.
If deviations do occur, the investigator must inform the monitor and the implications of the 
deviation must be reviewed and discussed.
Deviations must be documented and explained in a protocol deviation by stating the reason, date, 
and the action(s) taken.
Documentation on protocol deviations must be kept in the investigator trial master file and sponsor 
trial master file.
19.2
Prevention of missing data
The importance of patient retention will be addressed by Novo Nordisk in the training and 
communication with the trial sites.
The patients will be carefully informed about the trial procedures before signing informed consent, 
so that they know the implications of participating in the trial.
Close surveillance of patient retention will be performed throughout the trial by Novo Nordisk with 
focus on reasons for premature discontinuation of trial product or withdrawal of consent to secure 
early mitigations in collaboration with the trial sites. 
The investigator will make every effort to ensure that all assessments are performed and data is 
collected. If missing data does occur the reason will be collected via the protocol deviation process, 
see Section 19.1. Novo Nordisk will monitor protocol deviations on an on-going basis throughout 
the trial followed by appropriate actions (e.g. re -training of site staff).

22 Responsibilities
The investigator is accountable for the conduct of the trial at his/her site and must ensure adequate 
supervision of the conduct of the trial at the trial site. If any tasks are delegated, the investigator 
must maintain a log of appropriately qualified persons to whom he/she has delegated specified trial-
related duties. The investigator must ensure that there is adequate and documented training for all 
staff participating in the conduct of the trial. It is the investigator's responsibility to supervise the 
conduct of the trial and to protect the rights, safety, and well-being of the patients.
A qualified physician, who is an investigator or a sub-investigator for the trial, must be responsible 
for all trial-related medical decisions.
The investigator 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 patient 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 demon strate to Novo Nordisk that 
such technical and organisational safety measures have been taken.
During any period of unavailability, the investigator must delegate responsibility for medical care of 
patients to a specific qualified physician who will be readily available to patients during that time.
If the investigator is no longer able to fulfil the role as investigator (e.g. if he/she moves or retires), 
a new investigator will be appointed in consultation with Novo Nordisk. 
The investigator and other site personnel must have sufficient English skills according to their 
assigned task(s).

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.
If this trial becomes a multicentre trial, depending on how many patients that develop inhibitors 
while participating in NN7170-4213 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 publications20.
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 patient to public disclosure on external web sites according to 
international and national regulations, as reflected in the Novo Nordisk Code of Conduct for 
Clinical Trial Disclosure13.
Novo Nordisk reserves the right to defer the release of data until specified milestones are reached, 
for example when the clinical trial report is available. This includes the right not to release the 
results of interim analyses, because the release of such information may influence the results of the 
entire trial.
At the end of the trial, one or more scientific publications may be prepared collaboratively by the 
investigator(s) and Novo Nordisk. Novo Nordisk reserves the right to postpone publication and/or 
communication for up to 60 days to protect intellectual property.

In all cases the trial results will be reported in an objective, accurate, balanced and complete 
manner, with a discussion of the strengths and limitations. All authors will be given the relevant 
statistical tables, figures, and reports needed to evaluate the planned publication. In the event of any 
disagreement on the content of any publication, both the investigators’ and Novo Nordisk opinions 
will be fairly and sufficiently represented in the publication.
Where required by the journal, the investigator from each trial site will be named in an 
acknowledgement or in the supplementary material, as specified by the journal.

Authorship
Authorship of publications should be in accordance with the Uniform Requirements of the 
International Committee of Medical Journal Editors20 (sometimes referred to as the Vancouver 
Criteria).
23.1.2
Site-specific publication(s) by investigator(s)
If this trial becomes a multicentre trial, depending on how many patients that develop inhibitors 
while participating in NN7170-4213 trial, then the following section will apply:
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. 
23.2
Investigator access to data and review of results
As owner of the trial database, Novo Nordisk has the discretion to determine who will have access 
to the database. 
Individual investigators will have their own research patients’ data.

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 after 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 mus t 
ensure confidentiality of data and must be done in accordance with local regulatory requirements.
24.2
Retention of human biosamples
Antibody samples will be retained for later analysis for further characterisation of antibody 
responses towards drug, if deemed relevant or if required by health authorities or for safety reasons. 
In the event that the collected blood samples will be used in the future, the investigator will become 
directly informed by Novo Nordisk about the results if the findings are deemed clinically relevant 
and analytically valid and quantifiable. Patient or parent(s) can contact the investigator if they wish 
to be informed about results derived from stored blood samples obtained from their own body.
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.

Sampling of blood for analysis
NB: The patient name must NOT be listed on shipped vials. The tubes should be marked with 
patient ID, visit ID and visit date.
Sampling: The blood sample should be collected in 2 x 4.5 mL tubes with 3.2% (0.109 M) sodium 
citrate. 
The blood must be obtained and prepared for shipment as follows:
1. Draw blood into 4.5 mL vacutainer tubes, containing 3.2% (0.109 M) sodium citrate. Be 
sure to draw the full volume to ensure correct blood-to-anticoagulant ratio.
2. Invert the vacutainer tubes carefully 3-4 times if using BD vacutainer (blue top). Otherwise 
according to manufacture´s instructions.
3. Samples should be centrifuged immediately. This should be carried out at room temperature 
for 15 minutes at 1500 RCF (approximately 2000 g) for BD vacutainers (or refer to speed 
and times recommended by manufacturer). Do not use brake to stop centrifugation.
4. This will give three layers: (from top to bottom) plasma, leucocytes (buffy coat), 
erythrocytes. 
5. Carefully aspirate the supernatant (plasma) at room temperature and transfer into 6
cryovials, each with minimum 0.6 mL separated plasma (e.g. Nunc with star foot). Take 
care not to disrupt the cell layer or transfer any cells.
6. Inspect plasma for turbidity. Turbid samples should be centrifuged and aspirated again to 
remove remaining insoluble matter.
7. The cryovials should immediately be stored at minus 20 °C and be stored on site until 
patient’s last visit. 
8. Ensure that the cryovials are adequately labelled with relevant information, including; 
Patient ID, Visit ID and Visit date.
9. After patients last visit, the samples should be sent to the same Novo Nordisk A/S 
specialised laboratory as for the NN7170-4213 trial. The address of the specialised lab will 
be provided to you after study initiation of the trial.

Introduction including rationale for the protocol amendment
The rational for this amendment is to align with new internal procedures in Novo Nordisk. 
Summary of Product Characteristics will no longer be the source of the Reference Safety 
Information (RSI) for assessment of AE expectedness. Instead, we will use the Investigator 
Brochure (IB). Furthermore, the RSI is no longer specified in the protocol, but in the cover letter. A 
cover letter and the IB (Edition 9) are enclosed in this amendment application. 
Continued, a small change has been done in the treatment of patient section, in order to allow 
investigators to treat the patients as deemed relevant and according to local guidelines.
In addition to the above changes, testing for non-neutralising antibodies will only be performed if 
deemed relevant or for safety reasons, e.g. in case of adverse events suspected of being related to 
antibodies. Patients enrolled in the trial already have confirmed neutralising antibodies (inhibitors) 
and these are being monitored in accordance with local standard of care. The patients receive 
immune tolerance inducing therapy (ITI) using marketed unmodified recombinant FVIII 
(NovoEight). Given the circumstances, there is limited value of additional antibody testing.

Changes
2.1
Section 5.3
Treatment of patients
…
ITI dosing will be decided at the investigators discretion in accordance with local practice. 
However, a maximum dose of 200 IU/kg daily is defined. If deemed relevant by the investigator, 
patients can be switched from a higher dose to a lower dose while participating in this trial. The trial 
product should be administered by the patient or patient’s caregiver between the scheduled visits.
2.2
Section 8.5.3 Specialised laboratory assessments
Analysis of antibody samples (see Section 8.5.4) will be analysed, if deemed relevant, by a 
specialised laboratory. If applicable, tThese antibody analyses will take place using the same 
appointed specialised laboratory as for the NN7170-4213 trial. The antibody analysis will take place 
at end-of-trial. The detailed description of the assay methods and the antibody results will be 
included in the antibody analysis report at the end of the study.
