Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the biologic efficacy and safety of rhIL-11 when given subcutaneously in adults with moderate or mild hemophilia A or Von Willebrand disease unresponsive to DDAVP. Biologic efficacy will be measured by the number and percent increase of VWD coagulation tests (FVIII:C, VWF: Ag, VWF: RCo, closure time, APTT, and VWF multimers) to the normal range, or at least to 1.5-3 time baseline, following dosing of rhIL-11 when given daily for 4 days, and boosted by DDAVP infusion on day 4, in those in whom DDAVP is not contraindicated. Safety will be measured by the frequency of adverse events, including fever, headache, fatigue, myalgias, arthralgias, fluid retention, or edema.
The aim of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy, and safety of Biostate® in subjects with Von Willebrand Disease (VWD). Pharmacokinetic Component: PK parameters will be determined from a subgroup of subjects. Subjects who complete the PK component will subsequently continue in the efficacy component of the study, either continuing on a previously established prophylaxis regimen or continuing to receive on-demand treatment with the occurrence of non-surgical bleeding (NSB) events. Efficacy Component: Three treatment arms are defined for the efficacy component of the study. (1) Subjects who are currently being treated on a set prophylaxis regimen with a VWF product at the time of study entry will be enrolled in the "Prophylaxis" arm. (2) Subjects not being treated on a set prophylaxis regimen at the time of study entry who require a VWF product for the treatment of NSB events will be enrolled in the "On-demand" arm and commence using Biostate in the treatment of NSB events. (3) Subjects enrolled in the "On-demand" arm have the possibility to enter the "Cross-over to Prophylaxis" arm to receive an additional 12 months of prophylactic treatment.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the immediate tolerability and safety of rVWF:rFVIII in subjects with Type 3 Von Willebrand Disease after administration of various dosages of VWF:RCo.
Patients with severe aortic stenosis often suffer from an acquired Von Willebrand syndrome by degeneration of the polymers during passage through the narrow valve leading to turbulences. We hypothesized that the diagnosis of acquired von Willebrand syndrome influence perioperative blood loss in patients undergoing open cardiac valve replacement.
As part of CSL Behring Canada's continued commitment to ensuring the safety of the new low volume preparation of Humate-P®, CSL Behring Canada proposes to conduct a prospective, multi-center structured data collection of routine management of patients with von Willebrand disease treated with Humate P® ivr in Canada. The surveillance will be non-interventional and non-experimental. During the observation period, the routine medical care of the patient will be documented. It is expected that there will be no difference in the safety and tolerability of Humate-P® ivr compared to Humate-P®
To evaluate the effect of ARC1779, a therapeutic oligonucleotide ("aptamer") in patients with Type2B von Willebrand Disease.
Von Willebrand disease is an inherited bleeding disorder that impacts the blood's ability to clot properly. Von Willebrand disease is cause by the lack or not working substance in the blood known as Von Willebrand factor. Current therapy for Von Willebrand disease includes desmopressin acetate (DDAVP) and /or VWF/FVIII concentrates. Patients with severe Von Willebrand disease face a lifetime of weekly treatments and mounting medical bills. Gene therapy could help these patients improve their quality of life by providing the missing factors necessary for the blood's ability to clot properly. The gene transfer options being studied include naked DNA, viral gene transfer vectors encoding Von Willebrand factor transgenes, and ex vivo cell therapy. The latter involves transplantation of the patient's own cells modified with a corrected copy of the defective gene. Human blood outgrowth endothelial cells (BOEC) display all the properties needed for successful ex vivo cell therapy. We plan to obtain blood samples from normal research subjects and patients with Von Willebrand Disease in order to isolate blood outgrowth endothelial cells (BOEC) from peripheral blood, and develop a ex vivo gene therapy for Von Willebrand Disease.
The von Willebrand Disease Prophylaxis Network (VWD PN) is an international study group formed with the goal of investigating the role of prophylaxis in clinically severe VWD that is non-responsive to other treatment(s).
To assess the efficacy of FVIII/VWF Complex (Human), Alphanate® as replacement therapy in preventing excessive bleeding in subjects with congenital Type 3 von Willebrand Disease (VWD) who undergo surgical procedures.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of rhIL-11, when given subcutaneously for six consecutive months, in reducing menstrual blood loss in women with type 1 von Willebrand disease and refractory menorrhagia. Efficacy will be measured by subjective bleeding severity scale and pictorial bleeding chart. Safety will be measured by the frequency of adverse events, including fever, headache, fatigue, myalgias, arthralgias, fluid retention, or edema.
