2 When is prophylaxis in patients with VWD recommended? 2 von Willebrand disease - Background Therapy Options Definition Prophylaxis and Literature Review Potential Indications to start Prophylaxis

3 Von Willebrand disease Most frequent congenital bleeding disorder approx. 1% of caucasian population Etiology: Reduced or defective production of VWF Dysfunction of VWF release Severity types Type 1 (normally mild phenotype) Type 2 (variable phenotype) Type 3 (severe phenotype) Acquired (rare; variable phenotype) 3

4 Options for clinical phenotyping Medical history of patient Family history Bleeding questionaires specific VWD score* specific questionaires for severity of menstrual bleeding (PBAC) * Rodeghiero et al. J Thromb Haemost 2005: 3;

5 When is prophylaxis in patients with VWD recommended? 5 von Willebrand disease - Background Therapy Options Definition Prophylaxis and Literature Review Potential Indications to start Prophylaxis

6 Von Willebrand disease Dual defect: Primary & secondary haemostasis is affected 1.Dysfunction of platelet adhesion 2.Reduction of factor VIII activity in plasma Therapeutic aim: Correction of both defects 6

7 Von Willebrand disease Therapeutic options Depending on type of VWD in case of Acute bleeding: DDAVP (p.r.n. + Antifibrinolytics) or VWF/FVIII-concentrate Joint bleeding: VWF/FVIII-concentrate prophylaxis Menorrhagia: Antifibrinolytics or VWF/FVIII-concentrate or Estrogenes Surgery: DDAVP (+ Antifibrinolytics) or VWF/FVIII-concentrate (+ Antifibrinolytics) DDAVP Vasopressin-Analogue 7

36 Summary and take home message -2- All patients in this patient cohort benefited from long-term prophylaxis. Bleeding frequency, Bleeding Score, Hb, VWF:Rco, FVIII:C, quality of life was improved. No allergic reaction or inhibitor development was observed in n=24 patients using Wilate. Concomitant medication was used in n=1/24 (4,2%).
