Study description

The main aim of this non-interventional, secondary data use Post-Authorization Safety Study (PASS) is to assess safety of emicizumab use in children with haemophilia A during routine clinical care, among pediatric patients enrolled in the European Pediatric Network for Haemophilia Management (PedNet) Registry. PedNet Registry is the largest registry in the world for pediatric patients with haemophilia, currently, 20 countries with approximately 32 treatment centers participate. The registry includes all age groups and severities (FVIII <25%), which includes substantial coverage and an adequate representation of the pediatric patient population. The primary safety events of interest in this study are thromboembolic events (TEs), thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), and anaphylaxis. However, all safety events collected in the PedNet Registry will be reported. In addition to safety, effectiveness of emicizumab will be evaluated by the annual bleeding rate, as reported in the PedNet Registry. The following criteria describe the population eligible for this study, which will be a subset of the overall population participating in the PedNet Registry.

Inclusion criteria for inclusion in the PedNet Registry:
- Diagnosis of haemophilia A
- Factor VIII activity <25%
- Treated in one of the participating centers.

Additional inclusion for emicizumab-specific analysis:
- Received prophylactic treatment with emicizumab.

Exclusion criteria for the PedNet Registry:
- Referral to a participating center after development of inhibitors
- Informed consent for participation in the PedNet Registry not obtained.

Exclusion criteria for emicizumab-specific analysis:
- Inherited or acquired bleeding disorder other than haemophilia A.

The PedNet Registry will extract data indicated in this protocol, perform the statistical analysis, and provide results to the Marketing Authorization Holder (MAH) who will generate an annual PASS report and/or include the results in the PBRER.
