Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Percentage of haemostatic efficacy ratings of "excellent" and "good" for bleeding treatments and surgical interventions, as well as the annual bleeding rate in prophylactically treated patients, measured at the end of the study. According to the study protocol, efficacy is rated by the treating physicians for every bleeding event treated with Wilate and surgery respectively treated with Wilate on a 4-point Likert scale (excellent, good, moderate, none). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Safety assessed using the number of patients experiencing at least one adverse drug reaction (ADR) measured at the end of the study 2. Calculation of the VWF dose/kg body weight per injection and calculation of the duration of use in the different treatment options (prophylaxis, bleeding treatment, surgical intervention), depending on the VWD type or severity of bleeding or intervention, at the end of the study 3. Health-related quality of life measured optionally half-yearly using SF-36 during treatment with Wilate, including a comparison between types of VWD and between female and male patients - as far as case numbers allow 4. Comparison of joint status determined optionally half-yearly using the Haemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS) and annualised bleeding rate, taking into account the treatment mode as well as the VWD type (as far as the case numbers allow), at the end of the study 5. PBAC (Pictorial Blood Assessment Chart) scores in relation to treatment regimen and dosages at the end of the study | — |
