Filter by: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?).
The aim of the Von Willebrand Disease (VWD) therapy is to treat and prevent bleeding episodes due to abnormal platelet adhesion and abnormal blood coagulation as a result of low or abnormal Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) and/or Factor VIII (FVIII) levels. The long-term efficacy and safety of a VWF/FVIII concentrate, Biostate, will be investigated in children, adolescents, and adults with VWD in whom treatment with a VWF product is required for prophylactic therapy, haemostatic control during surgery, or control of a non-surgical, spontaneous, or traumatic bleeding event.
This is an open-label study to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy, and safety of a von Willebrand Factor/Factor VIII (VWF/FVIII), Biostate, in children with Von Willebrand disease (VWD) in whom treatment with a VWF product is required for prophylactic therapy, haemostatic control during surgery, or control of a non-surgical, spontaneous, or traumatic bleeding event.
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®
The high percentage of failure using available non-surgical options to treat menorrhagia in women with bleeding disorders shows a continuing need for innovative treatments. This has led to development of this protocol in order to make available tranexamic acid as a potentially effective menorrhagia therapy option in women with an underlying bleeding disorder. We anticipate that Tranexamic Acid may be a beneficial choice for controlling menorrhagia in bleeding disorder patients.
