Filter by:Description of the long-term evolution of patients with von Willebrand disease and treated with Voncento® and of the hemostatic efficacy in the prevention and the treatment of non-surgical bleeding episodes and prevention of surgical bleeding during 2 years after patient inclusion.
The purpose of this phase 3 study is to investigate the efficacy and safety, including immunogenicity, thrombogenicity and hypersensitivity reactions, as well as pharmacokinetics (PK), health related quality of life (HRQoL) and pharmacoeconomics of prophylactic treatment with recombinant von Willebrand factor (rVWF) (vonicog alfa) in adult participants with severe von Willebrand disease (VWD).
Von Willebrand Disease (VWD) is defined as an inherited bleeding disorder that is caused by deficiency or dysfunction of von Willebrand factor (VWF), a plasma protein that mediates the initial adhesion of platelets at sites of vascular injury and also binds and stabilizes blood clotting factor VIII (FVIII) in the circulation. The most severe forms of VWD are usually easy to diagnose (obvious hemorrhagic symptoms and major VWF deficiency), whereas the mild forms of the disease are still difficult to confirm. It is indeed reported that about 1% of the population carry mild biological VWF deficiency without any bleeding tendency and any "actual disease". On the contrary, some patients with severe bleeding history can carry a true VWF abnormality, well-confirmed by genetic studies, without any VWF deficiency when evaluated with standard biological methods, such as Ristocetin Cofactor activity (VWF:RCo). However, in these patients, the use of alternative methods, such as PFA-100 (Platelet Fonction Analyzer-100), the study of Factor VIII (FVIII:C) to VWF (FVIII:C/VWF) ratio or the evaluation of VWF activity using more specialized methods such as VWF:CB (VWF-Collagen Binding) assay can detect the VWF deficiency and possible hemorrhagic predisposition. In this project, the investigators plan to assess the performance of VWF:CB in the diagnosis of VWF deficiency in patients with unexplained bleeding history.
This is a multi-centre, open-label, single-arm, phase 4, post-marketing study to further investigate the efficacy and safety of Voncento in subjects with Von Willebrand Disease (VWD) in whom treatment with a Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) product is required as on-demand therapy, for prophylactic therapy, or during surgery. Subjects will be treated with Voncento either as an on-demand regimen (eg, to treat a non-surgical spontaneous or traumatic bleeding event) or prevention regimen (eg, to prevent an anticipated bleeding event) at a dose prescribed by the Investigator in accordance with the Voncento Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC), or with a prophylaxis regimen (regular treatment with Voncento at a frequency of 1-3 times per week). Voncento will also be given to prevent and treat any surgical bleeding events.
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of recombinant von Willebrand factor (rVWF) with or without ADVATE in major and minor elective surgical procedures in adult patients with hereditary severe von Willebrand disease (VWD).
The main objective of the study is to compare the pharmacokinetics of Optivate® with the subject's current FVIII concentrate when given as a bolus dose of 50IU/kg. The secondary objective is to compare the first and second pharmacokinetic assessments on Optivate® (and recovery if a subject changes batch) to evaluate Optivate® in terms of clinical tolerance and safety.

This is an observational study, hence there is no study hypothesis
1. Hypothesis a. There are patients with von Willebrand Disease in Cuenca. 2. Primary question a. How many women referred with a history of bleeding may have von Willebrand disease? 3. Secondary 1. Associations between the bleeding score and initial laboratory studies 2. What are the differences on subgroups of enrolled patients with the bleeding score? 4. Ancillary 1. What is the clinical and socio-economic status of women with von Willebrand Disease in Cuenca? 2. What is the clinical and socio-economic status of patients with Hemophilia in Cuenca?
The purpose of this Phase 3 study is to assess the pharmacokinetics of rVWF:rFVIII and rVWF, and to assess the safety and efficacy of rVWF:rFVIII and rVWF in the treatment of bleeding events in subjects with severe hereditary von Willebrand disease (VWD).
