+ Named after Dr. Erik von Willebrand

* Index case: a 5-year-old Finnish girl

+ Today found in up to 1% of the US
population

— Approx. 3.2 million (or 1 in every 100)
people have VWD

— Occurs equally in men and women

Summary of Challenges and Barriers
to Timely gnosis of VWD

WD is challenging to diagnose owing to disease heterogeneity"

No single laboratory test can determine the presence or absence of functional
WF and pre/post-analytic factors can result in falsely low VWF levels23

On average, patients experience a 1.8-year delay from initial bleeding symptoms
to diagnosis of VWD*

Inadequate use of diagnostic and assessment tools lead to under- or misdiagnosis
of VWD4

To Improve the Management of VWD, We Need to Address
These Challenges and Unmet Needs1*

Diagnostic delays result in more bleeding episodes and high ER visits, which persist even
after diagnosis of VWD, suggesting inadequate management of VWD

Lack of standardized approaches/clear guidance on when and how to treat VWD, in part
due to heterogeneity of the disease, leading to frustration from providers and patients

Challenges related to the need for IV infusions with available therapies, including
resistance among patients to adopt these treatments

Difficult to measure success of therapy due to absence of long-term impacts of bleeding
in patients with VWD (except for iron deficiency anemia)

VWD in women is often more clinically severe due to menorrhagia and poses unique
challenges, especially during pregnancy

Ce

A 28-year-old male diagnosed
with severe VWD type 1 who is
not a good responder to
DDAVP.

+ He has a planned dental
procedure for which he needs
prophylaxis.

Questions to Consider pm

What are the goals of therapy?

Which treatment option is likely to provide
the best protection against bleeds during
his procedure?

What are the dosing, administration, and
safety considerations

General Guidelines for VWD Management!

Condition Treatment (+ Aminocaproic or Tranexamic Acid for Mucosal Bleeding)

Typen Desmopressin usually works in majority of cases
yp For major surgery, VWF replacement may be preferable

1 2A Desmopressin rarely effective
Bid Infuse VWF (plasma-derived FVIII concentrate or VWF)

T 2B Desmopressin maybe deleterious (may lower platelets, cause clots)
ype Infuse VWF (plasma-derived FVIII concentrate or VWF)

Desmopressin rarely effective
Infuse VWF (plasma-derived FVIII concentrate or rVWF)

Type 2N Infuse VWF (plasma-derived FVIII concentrate or rVWF)

Type 3

Goals of VWD Treatment

Increase VWF Replace VWF
+ Desmopressin + Plasma-derived VWF
+ Recombinant VWF

Raise FVIII
+ Often used in type 2/3 VWD

Stabilize Clot
+ Use antifibrinolytics (tranexamic acid, epsilon aminocaproic acid)

Case Discussion on Collaborative VWD Management

O Take-Home Points
A 28-year-old male + Treatment choices should consider patient and product-
diagnosed with severe specific considerations (eg, bleeding risk; thrombosis)
VWD type 3 who has not

had sufficient bleed + Based on guideline recommendations, prophylaxis with

control with DDAVP. factor concentrate targeting 20.50 IU/mL and
antifibrinolytic therapy should be initiated in preparation

+ He has a planned dental for the procedure

procedure for which he

needs prophylaxis * Encourage obtaining PK measurement to determine
procedural plan

Final Take-Homes on the Diagnosis
and Management of VWD

Guidelines for VWD Diagnosis Guidelines for VWD Management

+ Use bleeding assessment tools

+ Use specific lab tests for VWD at
initial diagnosis
Know how to approach patients with
VWF levels that are initially abnormal
and then normalize with age
Use genetic testing in the diagnosis of
VWD subtypes
