Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Current bleeding due to AHA at the time of screening
  • * Plan to be adherent to emicizumab prophylaxis during the study
  • * For women of childbearing potential who meet the following criteria:
  • * Refrain from heterosexual intercourse or use contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of \<1% per year during the study period A woman with ≥ 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause and has not undergone surgical sterilization (removal of ovaries and/or uterus). use of combined oral or injected hormonal contraceptive, bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormone- releasing intrauterine devices, and copper intrauterine devices.

  • * Contraindications according to the Investigator's Brochure of emicizumab
  • * Current treatment with emicizumab at time of screening
  • * History of clinically significant hypersensitivity associated with monoclonal antibody therapies or components of the emicizumab injection by the discretion of the investigator
  • * Concurrent disease, treatment, or abnormality in clinical laboratory tests that could interfere with the conduct of the study, may pose additional risk, or would, in the opinion of the local investigator, preclude the patient's safe participation in and completion of the study
  • * Addiction or other diseases that preclude the patient from appropriately assessing the nature and scope as well as possible consequences of the clinical study by the discretion of the investigator
  • * Pregnant or breast-feeding women
  • * Would refuse treatment with blood or blood products, if necessary.
  • * Subject is in custody by order of an authority or a court of law
  • * Treatment with any of the following:
  • * An investigational drug to treat or reduce the risk of hemophilic bleeds within 5 half-lives of last drug administration before Study Day 1
  • * A non-hemophilia-related investigational drug within the last 30 days or 5 half-lives- before Study Day 1, whichever is longer
  • * An investigational drug concurrently
