Filter by:The primary aim of this study is to prospectively investigate the current bleeding tendency of children and adults with VWD.
The main aim of the study is to check effectiveness, side effects, and tolerability of recombinant von Willebrand Factor (rVWF), with or without ADVATE, in the treatment and control of nonsurgical bleeding events in pediatric participants (less than (<)18 years of age) with severe hereditary von Willebrand disease (VWD). The participants will be treated with rVWF for 12-18 months. Their von Willebrand Disease will be treated by their doctor according to their doctor's usual clinical practice. During the study, participants will be followed up at clinics or over telephone calls.
The present Project is a third phase of the previous PCM-EVW-ES Project (Batlle et al. Thromb & Haemost 2015) with the aim of its extension, further analysis with an innovation development in the field of von Willebrand disease (VWD) based in the newer recently available methodologies. The aim of this project is to help the physician in a more uniform characterization and therapy of VWD in clinical practice, at an international level. A reduction of the expenses in the diagnosis process by using the new methodologies is pursued.
Multicenter, prospective, non-controlled study in a pediatric cohort (<6 years-old) with severe (type 2 or 3) hereditary Von Willebrand Disease (VWD).
Menorrhagia is the term used to define excessive menstrual blood losses, as often based on a subjective judgment of women. Many arbitrary values, expressed in milliliters of blood, have been proposed to define this symptom: 60 on each cycle has also been confirmed in our preliminary study on 87 healthy women. The quantitative determination of menstrual blood losses is nevertheless rarely performed, only in research settings. Although menorrhagia is a quite frequent symptom in healthy women apparently haemostatically competent in the fertile age (20-30%), its incidence becomes very high in women affected by congenital coagulation factors deficiency and (50-62.9%) inherited platelet defects, e.g. Glanzmann's Thromboasthenia (GT); also in von Willebrand Disease the bleeding symptom "menorrhagia" has an high prevalence (60-75%)(8); for GT an incidence of 90% has been reported. This explains the need for a study focused on the evaluation of menorrhagia in CBDs, addressed to answer to the following, still unsolved questions: 1. Definition of the entity of menstrual blood losses in women affected by CBDs 2. Elaboration of specific treatment schedules for each type of CBD 3. Impact of different specific treatment schedules on kinetic and entity of menstrual losses (how does treatment modify losses?).
