ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the safety and effectiveness of a medicine called VONVENDI for adults of Chinese descent who have Von Willebrand Disease (VWD), a condition that causes problems with blood clotting and leads to bleeding. The study will look at how well VONVENDI controls bleeding, especially in people who may need surgery or dental work. Researchers will also study how the medicine works in the body and how the body responds to it. Some participants may receive another medicine called ADVATE if their blood clotting factor levels are too low.

To join the study, participants must be adults of Chinese ethnicity living in China or nearby regions, have a confirmed diagnosis of severe VWD, and have experienced at least three bleeding episodes in the past year that required treatment. Women who could become pregnant need to have a negative pregnancy test and agree to use birth control during the study. The study will last about 14 months, with regular check-ins either in the clinic or by phone. People with certain other health conditions, allergies to study medicines, or recent use of other experimental treatments may not be eligible. This research aims to help improve treatment options for people with VWD.

Eligibility criteria

• • Inclusion Criteria
• • 1. Participant must voluntarily sign an institutional review board (IRB)/independent ethics committee-approved written informed consent form after all relevant aspects of the study have been explained and discussed with the participant.
• 2. Participant has a documented diagnosis of severe VWD (baseline VWF:RCo less than \[\<\]20 international units \[IU\]deciliter \[dL\]) with a diagnosis of VWD type verified per the following recommended criteria:
• • Type 1 (von Willebrand factor:Ristocetin cofactor activity \[VWF:RCo\] \<20 IU/dL and by VWF activity/VWF:antigen \[Ag\] ratio) or,
• • Type 2A or type 2B (by VWF activity/VWF:Ag ratio and multimer pattern, with genetics if necessary), type 2N (FVIII:C \<10% and genetics), type 2M (by VWF activity/VWF:Ag ratio and multimer pattern) or
• • Type 3 (VWF:Ag \<=3 IU/dL). Diagnosis is confirmed, when applicable, by genetic testing and/or by multimer analysis.
• • 3. Participant is at least 18 years of age at screening.
• • 4. Participant is ethnic Chinese and lives in China, including those from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao.
• • 5. If female of childbearing potential, participant presents with a negative pregnancy test and agrees to employ adequate birth control measures for the duration of the study.
• • 6. Participant is willing and able to comply with the requirements of the protocol.
• • 7. Participant has had a minimum of 3 documented bleeds that indicated the need for VWF coagulation factor replacement therapies during the previous 12 months prior to enrollment.
• • Exclusion Criteria
• • 1. Participant has been diagnosed with pseudo VWD or another hereditary or acquired coagulation disorder other than VWD (example \[eg\], qualitative and quantitative platelet disorders or elevated prothrombin time \[PT\]/international normalized ratio \>1.4).
• • 2. Participant has a history or presence of a VWF inhibitor at screening.
• • 3. Participant has a documented history of a VWF:RCo half-life of \<6 hours.
• • 4. Participant has a history or presence of a FVIII inhibitor with a titer greater than or equal to \[\>=\] 0.6 Bethesda units per milliliter \[BU/mL\] (by Bethesda assay or Bethesda method with Nijmegen modification).
• • 5. Participant has a known hypersensitivity to any of the components of the study drugs, such as to mouse or hamster proteins.
• • 6. Participant has a medical history of immunological disorders, excluding seasonal allergic rhinitis/conjunctivitis, mild asthma, food allergies or animal allergies.
• • 7. Participant has a medical history of a thromboembolic event.
• • 8. Participant is human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive with an absolute cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) count \<200/cubic millimeter (mm\^3).
• • 9. Participant has been treated with an immunomodulatory drug, other than antiretroviral chemotherapy eg, α-interferon, or corticosteroid agents at a dose equivalent to hydrocortisone greater than 10 milligram (mg)/day (excluding topical treatment \[eg, ointments, nasal sprays\]), within 30 days prior to signing the informed consent (or assent, if appropriate).
• • 10. Participant is pregnant or lactating at the time informed consent is obtained.
• • 11. Participant has participated in another clinical study involving an IP, or investigational device within 30 days prior to enrollment or is scheduled to participate in another clinical study involving an IP or investigational device during the course of this study.
• • 12. Participant is diagnosed with progressive fatal disease and/or has a life expectancy of less than 15 months.
• • 13. Participant is member of the study team conducting this study or in a dependent relationship with one of the study team members. Dependent relationships include close relatives (that is, children, partner/spouse, siblings, parents) as well as employees.
• • 14. Participant has an acute illness (eg, influenza, flu-like syndrome, allergic rhinitis/conjunctivitis, nonseasonal asthma) at screening.
• • 15. Participant is diagnosed with significant liver disease, as evidenced by, but not limited to, any of the following: serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) greater than 5 times the upper limit of normal; hypoalbuminemia; portal vein hypertension (eg, presence of otherwise unexplained splenomegaly, history of esophageal varices) or liver cirrhosis classified as Child-Pugh class B or C.
• • 16. Participant has been diagnosed with renal disease, with a serum creatinine level \>=2.5 milligram per deciliter (mg/dL).
• • 17. Participant has a platelet count \<100,000/ milliliter (mL) at screening (except for participants with type 2B VWD, whose platelet count\[s\] at screening will be evaluated taking into consideration historical trends in platelet counts and the investigator's medical assessment of the participant's condition).
• • 18. Participant has cervical or uterine conditions causing menorrhagia or metrorrhagia (including infection, dysplasia).
• • 19. In the judgment of the investigator, the participant has another clinically significant concomitant condition (eg, uncontrolled hypertension) that may pose additional risks for the participant.
• • 20. Participant is identified by the investigator as being unable or unwilling to cooperate with study procedures.
