Emicizumab for Severe VON Willebrand Disease (VWD) and VWD/Hemophilia A
Von Willebrand Disease (VWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder affecting up to 0.1% of the population, is usually characterized by mucocutaneous bleeding, HMB, surgical bleeding or other hemostatic challenges. Severe bleeding events require VWF concentrates administered solely through intravenous access. Emicizumab (Hemlibra) is a monoclonal bispecific antibody developed to bind activated FIX and FX and mimic FVIII cofactor functionality. Hemlibra is administered via subcutaneous injection rather than intravenous infusion. The hypothesis of this study is that Emicizumab is safe and efficacious for prophylaxis in severe VWD and concomitant VWD/hemophilia patients.
Investigating a Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) Functional Screening Assay for Assigning the Phenotypic Variants of Von Willebrand Disease (VWD)
The purpose of this study is to improve the investigators ability to diagnose von Willebrand Disease (VWD), a common inherited bleeding disorder. This study will look at a new screening blood test used to determine if a person has VWD. This new screening blood test can determine a diagnosis more rapidly than current blood tests. Also this test could be available at local hospital labs rather than require samples to be sent to bigger more specialized labs.
