Brief Summary
This is a prospective, non-randomized, controlled study to examine whether or not having a higher trough during prophylactic treatment with clotting factor offers better joint protection than the standard trough of 1% Factor IX (FIX or Factor 9). This study will test the hypothesis that an extended half-life (EHL) FIX product with an intended trough of \>10% could offer better protection than previous treatment concentrates. This study also examines whether or not joint damage could be diagnosed earlier using ultrasound images.

Study Arms (3)
Group A
Episodic treatment with FIX concentrates for bleeding episodes
Group B
Prophylaxis using any FIX concentrate with an intended trough of 1-5%
Group C
Prophylaxis with an extended half-life (EHL) FIX with an intended trough of \>10%
Eligibility Criteria
Participants are male, age 16 or older, have severe hemophilia B, and are currently on either an episodic or prophylactic treatment regimen with FIX concentrates
You may qualify if:
- Severe hemophilia B (FIX \<1%)
- Either on demand or on prophylaxis with rFIX or EHL-rIX products with the intention to stay on the current regimen for the next 3 years
- For Group C, start of this treatment regimen up to 6 months prior is permissible
You may not qualify if:
- Other known bleeding disorder
- Other rheumatologic disorder affecting joints
- Other known neuromotor defect (making physical exam difficult)
