A Study of Recombinant Von Willebrand Factor (rVWF) in Pediatric and Adult Participants With Severe Von Willebrand Disease (VWD)

Baxalta now part of Shire38 enrolled

Overview

The main aim of the study is to check effectiveness of rVWF (vonicog alfa) prophylaxis based on the annualized bleeding rate (ABR) of spontaneous (not related to trauma) bleeding episodes in pediatric and adult participants during the first 12 months on study treatment. The participants will be treated with rVWF for a maximum of 3 years. Their von Willebrand Disease will be treated according to Investigational product (IP) dosing directions.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Spontaneous Annualized Bleeding Rate (sABR)

sABR was derived as \[number of treated bleeds\] / \[duration in years\]. Bleeds with unknown causality were considered as spontaneous. Bleeds were categorized based on the investigator assessment of cause. sABR during the first 12 months of prophylactic treatment with rVWF (vonicog alfa) was reported.

Time frame: Up to 12 months

Secondary Outcomes

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious TEAEs

An adverse event (AE): any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product; the untoward medical occurrence does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product whether or not it is related to medicinal product. TEAE was defined as any AE that started after the first administration of study drug in this continuation study. Serious TEAEs: any untoward medical occurrence that: 1) results in death, 2) is life-threatening, 3) requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, 4) results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, 5) leads to a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of the participant or 6) is medically important.

Time frame: Up to 5.8 years

Number of Participants Based on Severity of TEAEs

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered IP that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. TEAE was defined as any AE that started after the first administration of study drug in this continuation study. Severity of TEAEs was determined by following definitions: Mild: No limitation of usual activities; Moderate: Some limitation of usual activities and may required therapeutic intervention; Severe: Inability to carry out usual activities with sequelae, which required therapeutic intervention. Number of participants with TEAEs based on severity of TEAEs were reported.

Time frame: Up to 5.8 years
