Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this study is to gather more information on safety and efficacy of Kovaltry for the prevention and treatment of bleeds in Chinese children, adolescents/adults with severe hemophilia A. In addition, pharmacokinetic parameters of Kovaltry will be assessed in a subset of patients.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Part A (PTPs):

* Chinese participants with severe hemophilia A (defined as Factor VIII (FVIII): C \< 1% with one- stage clotting assay documented at the time of screening)
* Currently receiving on-demand or any type of prophylaxis treatment regimen with any FVIII product
* For participants \< 12 years of age, ≥ 50 exposure days (ED); for participants ≥ 12 to 65 years of age, ≥ 150 ED with any FVIII product
* No current evidence of inhibitor
* No history of FVIII inhibitor formation
* Signed informed consent

Part B (PUPs/MTPs):

* Participants must be \<6 years of age at the time of their parent or legal representative's signature of informed consent on the participant's behalf
* Chinese participants with severe hemophilia A (defined as Factor VIII (FVIII): C \< 1% with one- stage clotting assay documented at the time of screening)
* PUPs must have no previous exposure to any FVIII product. MTPs must have no more than 1 ED with any purified FVIII concentrate or 3 exposures with FFP or cryoprecipitate.
* MTPs must have no current evidence of inhibitor antibody as measured by the Nijmegen-modified Bethesda assay (\<0.6 BU/mL) in 2 consecutive samples and must have absence of clinical signs or symptoms of decreased response to FVIII administration. Testing for the 2 negative samples must be performed by the central laboratory at least 1 week but not more than 2 weeks apart. Participants may not receive FVIII product within 72 hours prior to the collection of samples for inhibitor testing.
* PUPs and MTPs must observe a 6-month washout period if they have received subcutaneous factor substitution therapy (emicizumab).
* PUPs may be included if they will receive their first FVIII dose with KOVALTRY for treatment of first bleed and agree to start prophylaxis as part of their care. MTPs may be included if they agree to start prophylaxis as part of their care.

Exclusion Criteria

Part A (PTPs):

* Any other bleeding disease that is different from hemophilia A (e.g. von Willebrand disease, hemophilia B)
