Correlation between endogenous VWF:Ag and PK parameters and bleeding frequency in severe haemophilia A subjects during three‐times‐weekly prophylaxis with rFVIII‐FS

Abstract: Patients with severe haemophilia A experience frequent and spontaneous bleeding, causing debilitating damage to joints and decreasing quality of life. Prophylaxis with factor VIII (FVIII) reduces joint damage if initiated early. Circulating FVIII levels may be influenced by endogenous von Willebrand factor (VWF), a chaperone protein that binds and stabilizes FVIII. The aim of this study was to determine whether endogenous VWF antigen (VWF:Ag) levels are correlated with FVIII pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters and… Show more

“…This prolongation was likely related in part to the use of pdFVIII containing a relatively higher amount of vWF. We also observed the increased levels of vWF after infusion (Table ), confirming that increased VWF:Ag level is associated with a significant increase in FVIII T1/2 and decrease in clearance . We have not explored why the in vivo recovery was high, but to the best of our knowledge, there is no established relationship between FVIII in vivo recovery and VWF level.…”

“…17 Such a positive correlation between T 1/2 of rFVIII and VWF levels has been previously reported. 18,19 This finding suggests that the clinical management of prophylaxis in subjects with low VWF:Ag levels be monitored more closely, as these subjects might benefit from a personalized dosing regimen. 20 Subjects in the prophylaxis group had a significantly reduced (90%) ABR compared with those in the on-demand group.…”

“…The sites of bleeding reported are varied – joint , muscle , all sites of bleeding . The number of bleeding events are defined differently – annualized bleeding , mean joint bleed per month , bleeds per month , mean annual joint bleed , and the central tendency of the outcome are reported as either mean with SD or median with inter quartile range (IQR) . More importantly, the observation time is varied from several months to many years.…”
