| E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
| Hemophilia A with or without Factor VIII inhibitors |

| E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language |
| Hemophilia A is a genetic deficiency in blood clotting factor VIII, which causes increased bleeding. Inhibitors, however, prevent replacement factor VIII concentrates from controlling bleeds. |
