ABSTRACT
Background Recombinant von Willebrand factor (rVWF, vonicog alfa, Takeda Pharmaceuticals USA) is indicated in adults diagnosed with von Willebrand disease (VWD). In this study, the exposure-response (ER) relationship between VWF activity (VWFRCo) or factor VIII activity (FVIIIC) and spontaneous bleeding events (BEs) was evaluated in adults with severe VWD receiving rVWF prophylaxis for up to 1 year. Methods This secondary analysis included 23 patients receiving rVWF prophylaxis in the open-label, phase 3 prophylaxis trial (NCT02973087). Population pharmacokinetic (PK) and PK/pharmacodynamic (PD) models were used to characterize VWF activity and endogenous FVIIIC, and PK/PD simulations were linked to spontaneous BEs to develop an ER model. Results None of the five patients with VWD types 1 or 2A/B experienced spontaneous BEs. Five of 18 patients with VWD type 3 experienced ≥1 spontaneous BEs. An ER relationship was observed whereby higher VWFRCo levels were associated with a numerically lower spontaneous BE risk ( p < 0.10). This relationship was independent of patients' pretrial VWF treatment. A statistically significant ER relationship was observed after accounting for relevant data (average ± standard error exposure estimate for VWFRCo over 24 hours prior to the spontaneous BE -0.043 ± 0.021, p = 0.041). The model-generated hazard ratio for a 10 IU/dL increment in the average exposure of VWFRCo 24 hours before a spontaneous BE was 0.651 (95% confidence interval 0.431-0.982). Conclusions This ER analysis suggests a causal association between VWFRCo and spontaneous BEs, with an increase of VWFRCo exposure leading to a decrease in spontaneous BE risk.
