Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Is an adolescent or adult patient with a diagnosis of VWD (including Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and -type VWD) and HMB for 2 cycles during screening

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria -

  • Has (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) greater than 2 times the (ULN)
  • Has total greater than 1.5×ULN (except for patients with Gilbert's syndrome)
  • Has an estimated glomerular filtration () less than 30 mL/min/1.73m\^2 at screening
  • Is not willing to comply with the requirements during the study period
  • Used routine factor prophylaxis (greater than or equal to 1 infusion of factor per week over 12 weeks) within 4 weeks of screening or plans use for routine factor prophylaxis during the study
  • New placement of any hormonal or nonhormonal intrauterine device (IUD) or hormonal implants within 24 weeks of screening
  • Known current gynecological conditions causing abnormal uterine bleeding (including infection, fibroids, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, or dysplasia)

Note: other protocol defined inclusion / exclusion criteria apply

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
