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.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

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.

12. Bleeding History (must meet one of the following):

    1. Prior Observational Study Participation:

       The participant must have participated in the observational study HMB-002-101\_SCR (VELORA Discover), have a minimum annualized treated bleeding event (ATBR) of 3; OR
    2. Medical Record-Documented Bleeding History:

    The Investigator confirms that ≥3 treated bleeding events have been documented in the participant's medical record within the preceding 12 months.

    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).
15. Receives regular VWF concentrate (at least 1/week) as part of their routine care (usual dose ≤50 IU/kg).

Key Exclusion Criteria:

1. Personal history of venous or arterial thrombosis or thromboembolic disease, except for catheter-associated, superficial venous thrombosis.
2. High risk thrombophilia: Homozygous Factor V Leiden (FVL), compound heterozygous FVL/Prothrombin gene mutation, Antithrombin deficiency with activity \<50%. Congenital Protein C and Protein S deficiency with levels \<50%.
3. Body mass index (BMI) \>35 kg/m\^2 (obese, adjusted for ethnicity).
4. Presence of other conditions that substantially increase risk of thrombosis either individually (for participants \>65 years of age) or in combination (for participants ≤65 years of age), at the discretion of the Investigator or Medical Monitor.
5. Clinically significant cardiovascular disease.
6. Other known severe bleeding disorder(s) other than VWD.

   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.
