Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 65 with a documented diagnosis of congenital Type 1 Von Willebrand Disease.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients outside the age range or those with other types of Von Willebrand Disease may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of HMB-002 in adults with Type 1 Von Willebrand Disease. It consists of two parts: Part A involves a single ascending dose to establish initial safety and effects, while Part B focuses on the safety of repeat dosing and explores efficacy. The study is designed to gather critical data on how well HMB-002 works in this patient population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve the management of Von Willebrand Disease, enhancing patient quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel for HMB-002, similar studies targeting Von Willebrand Disease have shown promise in improving treatment outcomes.

Part C Only:
13. Age: ≥18 and \<70 years of age at the time of informed consent.
14. Participants with Type 3 VWD or Type 1 VWD with low residual VWF and FVIII activity levels (VWF activity \<5 IU/dL and FVIII activity \<10 IU/dL).

Exclusion Criteria for Part A and Part B Only
8. Requirement for ongoing hemostatic treatment to prevent bleeding (bleed prophylaxis). Prophylaxis administered intermittently for procedures or surgery to reduce bleeding risk is permitted.
