INCLUSION CRITERIA

Participants Transitioning from Other BAX 855 Studies:

Participants transitioning from other BAX 855 studies can be provided with the continuation study informed consent form (ICF) prior to the end of study visit to review and consider participation in this continuation study. These participants will complete any additional screening assessments within 2 weeks of the previous study's end of study visit and will return to the study site within 6 (± 1) weeks of the previous study end of study visit to confirm eligibility for this continuation study.

BAX 855 naïve participants who are < 12 years of age can only be enrolled in this continuation study after enrollment in the pediatric previously treated patient (PTP) study is closed.

- Enrolment of BAX 855 naïve participants will only start once the sponsor has notified the study sites accordingly.
