NCT ID: NCT01261936 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Von Willebrand Disease

Evaluation of Menses in Congenital Bleeding Disorders

MEVA-3
Start date: February 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

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?).
