What this trial studies
This phase 2 trial evaluates the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacodynamics of multiple doses of ALN-6400 in adult and adolescent patients who have von Willebrand disease and heavy menstrual bleeding. Participants will receive ALN-6400 and be monitored for changes in bleeding and relevant biomarkers. The study includes specific eligibility criteria and excludes individuals with certain liver, kidney, or gynecologic conditions, as well as those with recent routine factor prophylaxis or unmet contraception requirements. Sites are located in Orange, San Diego, and San Francisco, California, with Alnylam Pharmaceuticals as the lead sponsor.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants could experience reduced heavy menstrual bleeding and related symptoms.
How similar studies have gone: Previous RNAi-based approaches have shown potential in related bleeding disorders, but this exact therapy is being tested in this population for the first time in this context.
