According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial (NCT02847637) enrolled 152 people in total across four groups. Eighteen participants received no preventive treatment at first before later switching to emicizumab (the control group, Arm C); 36 received emicizumab at 1.5 mg/kg once a week (Arm A); 35 received emicizumab at 3 mg/kg every two weeks (Arm B); and 63 who had previously been on a standard clotting-factor treatment received emicizumab at 1.5 mg/kg once a week (Arm D). The trial was measuring how often participants experienced bleeds — specifically tracking bleeds that needed treatment, bleeds in joints, bleeds that happened without an obvious cause (spontaneous), and bleeds in joints that had been repeatedly affected before the trial started. The vast majority of participants completed the study. The reported data shows that the main outcome — the estimated number of treated bleeds per year — differed notably across groups. The control group (no preventive treatment) recorded an estimated 38.2 treated bleeds per year, while the three emicizumab groups recorded 1.5, 1.3, and 1.6 treated bleeds per year respectively. When all bleeds (treated and untreated) were counted, the control group recorded an estimated 47.6 per year, compared with 2.5, 2.6, and 3.3 per year in the emicizumab groups. For bleeds specifically in joints, the control group recorded an estimated 26.5 treated joint bleeds per year, versus 1.1, 0.9, and 1.2 in the emicizumab groups. For spontaneous treated bleeds, the figures were 15.6 per year in the control group and 1.0, 0.3, and 0.5 in the emicizumab groups. For bleeds in repeatedly affected ("target") joints, the control group recorded 13.0 per year versus 0.6, 0.7, and 0.6 in the emicizumab groups. A separate within-person comparison for participants who had previously been on standard clotting-factor treatment showed an estimated 4.8 treated bleeds per year before the study, compared with 1.5 per year while on emicizumab during the study.
