Clinical Trial Summary

Clinical Trial Description

The EMPOWER trial is a pilot multi-center, placebo-controlled (normal saline), double-blind (patient and outcome assessor), crossover, 2-year randomized trial in female outpatients with von Willebrand disease (VWD) and heavy menstrual bleeding to determine trial feasibility and viability, and explore assay sensitivity of the proposed efficacy clinical outcomes for a definitive randomized controlled trial. For the first treatment period, patients will be randomized to receive either plasma derived von Willebrand factor:Factor VIII (pdVWF:FVIII) concentrate (plus standard of care) or placebo (plus standard of care) for VWD-associated heavy menstrual bleeding for 4 cycles, crossing over to the comparator treatment during the second treatment period. The first treatment period will be followed by a 1 cycle washout period when no study-based treatment will be delivered. The main purpose of the pilot will be to evaluate viability and feasibility of the trial design, as well as to explore assay sensitivity to inform determination of the primary efficacy outcome for the definitive randomized trial which will evaluate the effect of prophylaxis with pdVWF:FVIII concentrate compared with placebo on HMB in women with VWD. A secondary objective is to conduct a preliminary assessment of the effect on clinical outcomes of 2-3 doses of prophylaxis with pdVWF:FVIII concentrate when provided on the first 4 days of menstruation compared with placebo. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
