EC approves product for von Willebrand disease

Intra- and post-operative hemostasis was rated as “excellent” (as good as or better than expected) in 60% of patients and “good” (probably as good as expected) in 40% of patients.

One patient developed deep vein thrombosis 3 days after undergoing hip replacement surgery.

One patient tested positive for binding antibodies to VWF. None of the patients developed binding antibodies against potential impurities such as rFurin, CHO-protein, or mouse IgG.

These results were presented at the WFH 2018 World Congress.
