Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary study outcome is active von Willebrand factor levels, normalized to levels in normal pooled plasma (% of NPP), as measured by the immunosorbent assay. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| * Binding of the VHH to different forms of vWF (expressed as OD at 490 nm after addition of substrate OPD to reaction). * Ristocetin-induced vWF-platelet binding, measured by flow cytometric assay, expressed as median fluorescence index (MFI). * Ristocetin-, collagen or ADP-induced vWF-dependent platelet agglutination or aggregation (respectively), measured by LTA, expressed as maximal platelet aggregation. * Aperture occlusion time, as measured by PFA-200, expressed in seconds * Platelet covered area (%), measured from images taken during perfusion experiments * Fluorescence intensity (AU), measured from images taken during perfusion experiments | — |
