Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Overall Clinical Assessment of the Haemostatic Efficacy of Octafibrin in the On-demand Treatment of the First Documented Bleeding Episode of Each Patient Based on a 4-point Haemostatic Efficacy Scale
The overall clinical assessment of the haemostatic efficacy of Octafibrin in treating the first documented bleeding episode (BE) of each patient. The first bleeding episode covered the time from the first Octafibrin infusion until 24 hours (i.e. 1 day) after the last infusion or the end of the treatment observation period, which ever came last.
The investigator's overall clinical assessment of haemostatic efficacy for bleeding was based on a 4-point haemostatic efficacy scale (excellent, good, moderate or none). Excellent result was defined as immediate cessation of bleeding; 'Good' was eventual complete cessation of bleeding; 'Moderate' was incomplete cessation of bleeding and 'None' was no cessation of bleeding with alternative haemostatic intervention required.
The IDMEAC conducted an independent adjudication of all haemostatic efficacy results and evaluated the investigator's assessments of the efficacy in the treatment of each BE.
Overall Clinical Assessment of the Haemostatic Efficacy of Octafibrin in the On-demand Treatment of the First Documented Bleeding Episode of Each Patient Based on a 2-point Haemostatic Efficacy Scale
The overall clinical assessment of the haemostatic efficacy of Octafibrin in treating the first documented bleeding episode (BE) of each patient. The first bleeding episode covered the time from the first Octafibrin infusion until 24 hours (i.e. 1 day) after the last infusion or the end of the treatment observation period, which ever came last.
The investigator's overall clinical assessment of haemostatic efficacy for bleeding was based on a 2-point haemostatic efficacy scale (success and failure). Efficacy rating of excellent or good on the four-point scale (above) indicated success and efficacy rating of moderate or none indicated failure.
The IDMEAC conducted an independent adjudication of all haemostatic efficacy results and evaluated the investigator's assessments of the efficacy in the treatment of each BE.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Single-dose Pharmacokinetics of Octafibrin: Area Under the Concentration-time Curve Normalised (AUCnorm)
AUCnorm (Area under the concentration-time curve normalized to the dose administered) was assessed after a single intravenous infusion of 70 mg/kg body weight of Octafibrin.
Single-dose Pharmacokinetics of Octafibrin: Response - Incremental in Vivo Recovery (IVR)
IVR was assessed after a single intravenous infusion of 70 mg/kg body weight of Octafibrin.
Single-dose Pharmacokinetics of Octafibrin: Terminal Elimination Half-life (t1/2)
t1/2 was assessed after a single intravenous infusion of 70 mg/kg body weight of Octafibrin.
Single-dose Pharmacokinetics of Octafibrin: Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)
Cmax was assessed after a single intravenous infusion of 70 mg/kg body weight of Octafibrin.
Single-dose Pharmacokinetics of Octafibrin: Time to Reach Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax)

Vss was assessed after a single intravenous infusion of 70 mg/kg body weight of Octafibrin.
Single-dose Pharmacokinetics of Octafibrin: Clearance (Cl)
Cl was assessed after a single intravenous infusion of 70 mg/kg body weight of Octafibrin.
Change in Maximum Clot Firmness (MCF) for the First Bleeding Episode for Each Patients and for All Bleeding Episodes
MCF was measured using thromboelastometry (ROTEM). ROTEM is a method for the continuous measurement of clot formation and clot firmness. It utilises a mechanical detection system which is based on the ability of the blood or plasma clot to form a mechanical coupling over a distance of 1 mm.
ROTEM was used to measure MCF as a surrogate efficacy marker for haemostatic efficacy before and after the first infusion of Octafibrin for treatment of the first bleeding episode and all bleeding episodes. The change in MCF was measured from baseline to 1 hour post-infusion of Octafibrin administration.
Change in the Fibrinogen Level for All Bleeding Episodes up to 1 Hour-post Infusion for the First Bleeding Episode and All Bleeding Episodes
Change in fibrinogen level was assessed using the Clauss fibrinogen assay for the first bleeding episode and all bleeding episodes. The change in fibrinogen level was assessed from Day 1 pre-infusion to 1 hour post-infusion of Octafibrin.
Incremental in Vivo Recovery Following the First Infusion of Octafibrin Administration for the Treatment of the First Bleeding Episode and of All Bleeding Episodes
Incremental IVR calculated as the maximum increase in plasma fibrinogen (i.e. Clauss data) between the pre-infusion and the 3-hour post-infusion measurement, (expressed as absolute concentration in plasma [mg/dL]), divided by the exact dose of Octafibrin per body weight (expressed as mg/kg dosed).
Incremental (response) IVR data for the firstBLEED and BLEED populations were calculated.
Efficacy of Octafibrin in All Bleeding Episodes Based on a Four-point Haemostatic Efficacy Scale
The haemostatic efficacy of Octafibrin in the on-demand treatment of all bleeding episodes was based on a 4-point haemostatic efficacy scale ranging from excellent, good moderate and none. The efficacy assessment of each patients was assessed by the Investigator and the Independent Data Monitoring & Endpoint Adjudication Committee (IDMEAC).
.
Efficacy of Octafibrin in All Bleeding Episodes Based on a Two-point Haemostatic Efficacy Scale
The haemostatic efficacy of Octafibrin in the on-demand treatment of all bleeding episodes was based on a 2-point haemostatic efficacy scale ranging from success to failure. The efficacy assessment of each patients was assessed by the Investigator and the Independent Data Monitoring & Endpoint Adjudication Committee (IDMEAC).
Efficacy of Octafibrin in Surgical Prophylaxis Based on a Four-point Haemostatic Efficacy Scale
The haemostatic efficacy of Octafibrin was assessed during surgery prophylaxis by the surgeon and the Independent Data Monitoring & Endpoint Adjudication Committee (IDMEAC), on a 4-point scale ranging from excellent, good, moderate and none. Intra-operative blood loss lower or equal to the average expected blood loss was rates as 'Excellent'; intra-operative blood loss higher than average expected blood loss but lower or equal to maximal expected blood loss was rated as 'Good'; intra-operative blood loss was higher than expected blood loss was rated as 'Moderate' and haemostasis that was uncontrolled and necessitated a change in clotting factor replacement regimen was rated as 'None'.
The surgical observation period started lasted from the first dose of Octafibrin to at least 3 post-operative days for minor and 7 post-operative days for major surgeries or until the day of the last post-operative infusion, whichever comes last.
Efficacy of Octafibrin in Surgical Prophylaxis Based on a Two-point Haemostatic Efficacy Scale
The haemostatic efficacy of Octafibrin was assessed during surgery prophylaxis by the surgeon and the Independent Data Monitoring & Endpoint Adjudication Committee (IDMEAC), on a 2-point scale ranging from success to failure.
Efficacy rating of excellent or good from the 2-point efficacy scale indicated 'Success', and efficacy rating of moderate or none indicated 'Failure'.
The surgical observation period started lasted from the first dose of Octafibrin to at least 3 post-operative days for minor and 7 post-operative days for major surgeries or until the day of the last post-operative infusion, whichever comes last.
Patients With Elevated Values of Prothrombin Fragments 1+2
Thrombogenicity was assessed by measuring the plasma levels of prothrombin fragment 1 (F1) and prothrombin fragment 2 (F2), before and after each Octafibrin infusion for the treatment of bleeding episodes during the study. This outcome measure examined the number of patients with elevated values of prothrombin fragments F1 + F2 that were outside of the reference range of 69 to 229 pmol/L, three hours post-infusion with Octafibrin.
Safety Assessment: Immunogenicity Testing for Anti-fibrinogen Antibodies
The number of patients developing anti-fibrinogen antibodies were observed during the observation period using an experimental non-standard ELISA quantitative laboratory test.
Immunogenicity testing for the presence of anti-fibrinogen antibodies before the first infusion of Octafibrin and on Day 30 after the treatment of each bleeding episode.
Safety Assessment: Adverse Events
Adverse events, including thromboembolic complications and early signs of allergic or hypersensitivity reactions.
