Primary outcomePrimary: Number of Participants With BAX 888-Related Adverse Events (AEs) — 2; 2 Participants
Summary
The main aim of this study is to check if there are side effects from BAX 888 and to determine the dose of BAX 888 for treating severe hemophilia A in male adults.
Participants will receive one infusion with BAX 888 at the hemophilia treatment center. During the study, participants will visit their study clinic multiple times.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Male, aged 18 to 75 years at the time of screening.
- Established severe hemophilia A (FVIII: C =5 days without FVIII treatment) and/or documented intron 1 inversion or intron 22 inversion mutation in the F8 gene, consistent with severe hemophilia A , and documented evidence of >=3 hemorrhages over the previous 12 months requiring treatment with exogenous FVIII or use of FVIII prophylaxis because of history of frequent bleeding episodes.
- History of greater than (>) 150 exposure days to exogenously administered FVIII concentrates or cryoprecipitate.
- Sexually active men must agree to use barrier contraception (combination of a condom and spermicide) or limit sexual intercourse to post-menopausal, surgically sterilized, or contraception-practicing partners for a minimum of 6 months after administration of BAX 888, or until BAX 888 genomes are no longer detected in the semen, whichever is sooner.
- Participant is willing and able to comply with the requirements of the protocol, including provision of semen samples, maintenance of a diary of bleeding episodes and FVIII protein use.
- Signed informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria
- Bleeding disorder(s) other than hemophilia A.
- Personal laboratory evidence of having developed inhibitors to FVIII protein at any time (>=0.6 Bethesda units [BU] on any single test).
- Documented prior allergic reaction to any FVIII product.
- Anti-Adeno-associated virus, serotype 8 (AAV8) neutralizing antibody titer >=1:5. Participants whose laboratory assessments are less than or equal to ( =40 (Inova QUANTA LiteTM Actin IgG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay [ELISA]); values of 31 to 39 will be flagged as possibly abnormal and the Investigator and Medical Monitor will evaluate the participant for eligibility.
- Elevated anti-liver-kidney microsomal antibody type 1 (LKM1) titers.
- Total immunoglobulin G (IgG) >1.5*upper limit of normal (ULN).
- Antinuclear antibody (ANA) titer >1: 320; OR ANA titer >1:80 if demonstrated concurrently with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) that is >ULN.
- Active Hepatitis virus (Hepatitis C): As indicated by detectable hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
- Hepatitis B: If surface antigen is positive.
- Seropositive for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
- Receiving systemic antiviral and/or interferon therapy within 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
- Clinically significant infections (e.g. systemic fungal infections) requiring systemic treatment.
- Known immune disorder (including myeloma and lymphoma).
- Concurrent chemotherapy or biological therapy for treatment of neoplastic disease or other disorders.
- An absolute neutrophil count =0.48 (i.e., Metavir staging of F2 or greater). Of note, in participants with a known history of Gilbert's syndrome, a Fibrotest cannot be used for fibrosis testing.
- Total bilirubin >1.5*ULN and direct bilirubin >=0.5 milligram per deciliter (mg/dL).
- ALT or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >1.0*ULN.
- Alkaline phosphatase (AP) >2.0*ULN.
- History of liver biopsy indicating moderate or severe fibrosis (Metavir staging of F2 or greater).
- History of ascites, varices, variceal hemorrhage, or hepatic encephalopathy.
- Any findings on screening ultrasound that would preclude the safe use of AAV gene therapy.
- Prothrombin time (PT) international normalized ratio (INR) >=1.4.
- Serum creatinine >1.5 mg/dL.
- Urine protein >30 mg/dL or >0.5 gram per day (g/day).
- Body mass index >38.
- Major surgery or an orthopedic surgical procedure planned within 6 months after enrollment.
- Acute or chronic disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, would adversely affect participant safety or compliance or interpretation of study results.
- Received an AAV vector previously or any other gene transfer agent in the previous 12 months prior to Study Day 0.
- Received an investigational intervention or participated in another clinical trial within 4 weeks prior to enrollment or with
