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.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of rhIL-11 when given subcutaneously in adults with type 1 von Willebrand disease undergoing elective surgery or major dental procedure. Efficacy will be measured by estimated blood loss, and frequency and severity of bleeding and transfusion requirement during and after surgery. Safety will be measured by the frequency of adverse events, including fever, headache, fatigue, myalgias, arthralgias, fluid retention, or edema.
The objective of this study is to assess the clinical presentation, the treatment and the complications of the disease and treatment in moderate and severe von Willebrand disease. Another goal is to investigate the influence of von Willebrand disease on quality of life.
Indirect evidence suggests that hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle also affect the bleeding and clotting system. This study looks at two sensitive laboratory tests at four time points during the menstrual cycle to determine if there is a natural variation in coagulation and platelet function. Laboratory tests in healthy subjects will be compared to women with von Willebrand's disorder type 1, a bleeding disorder. In the future, these laboratory tests may help in the diagnosis of bleeding and clotting disorders and to design treatments for women with abnormal menstrual bleeding.
An open, multi-centre study in patients with von Willebrand Disease (VWD) undergoing surgery.
The main objective of the study is to assess the pharmacokinetics of OPTIVATE® after a single dose of 80 IU/kg VWF:RCo. The secondary objectives of the study are to assess efficacy and safety of OPTIVATE® in long-term use over at least 12 months.
