Summary

This is a single-center randomized phase III clinical trial, the VWD-Woman Trial, in which 20 pregnant subjects with von Willebrand disease (VWD), defined as VWF ristocetin co-factor activity (VWF:RCo) \<0.50 IU/ml (historic) and previous history of bleeding are enrolled. Subjects will include women with VWD age 18 years and older, excluding those who have a bleeding disorder other than VWD. Once enrolled, subjects who meet all of the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria will be randomized to recombinant Von Willebrand factor (rVWF, Vonvendi ®) with Tranexamic Acid (TA, Cyclokapron®); or recombinant Von Willebrand factor (rVWF, Vonvendi®) alone to prevent postpartum hemorrhage after vaginal or caesarean delivery. The primary endpoint is quantitative blood loss (QBL) by a labor suite nurse at delivery. Secondary endpoints include safety assessment for postpartum lochial blood loss by Pictorial Blood Assessment Chart (PBAC), transfusion, blood products, thromboembolic events, and hysterectomy within 21 days; and mechanism of PPH reduction by VWF assays (VWF:RCo, VWF:Ag, VIII:C), fibrinogen, and d-dimer. Blood draws are at 5 time points, including at 36 weeks' gestation (screening), on admission for childbirth, and at 1 day, 2 days, and 21 days after delivery. The VWD-Woman Trial is considered greater than minimal risk as study drugs are given at delivery and special coagulation studies are obtained.

Conditions

  • Von Willebrand Diseases
  • Postpartum Hemorrhage

Interventions

DRUG

Recombinant Von Willebrand factor

Recombinant Von Willebrand factor(Vonvendi) is an intravenous therapy that replaces missing VWF to restore hemostasis and reduce bleeding with surgery or delivery.

DRUG

Tranexamic Acid Injection [Cyklokapron]

Tranexamic acid (Cyclokapron) is an intravenous anti-fibrinolytic therapy that prevents clot breakdown and reduces bleeding with surgery or delivery.
