VONCENTO (CSL Behring Gmbh, Marburg, Germany) is a plasma-derived, high concentration, lower volume [relative to HAEMATE P (CSL Behring)], high-purity von Willebrand factor (VWF)/factor VIII (FVIII) concentrate with a VWF/FVIII ratio similar to HAEMATE P. This open-label, multicentre study investigated the pharmacokinetic, haemostatic efficacy, and safety profiles of VONCENTO in study participants at least 12 years of age with von Willebrand disease (VWD) who required treatment of nonsurgical bleeding (NSB) events or underwent surgery or prophylaxis. The first 12-month on-demand treatment period comprised a pharmacokinetic investigation and an efficacy analysis. After 12 months, qualifying study participants were switched to prophylactic therapy and included in a further 12-month efficacy analysis. In total, 21 study participants (including three adolescents, and 13 study participants with VWD type 3) received VONCENTO as on-demand treatment for 12 months. 'Excellent'/'good' haemostatic efficacy was achieved in 98.3% of the 407 NSB events assessed by investigators. Following the switch to prophylactic treatment, the total number of NSBs in eight patients markedly decreased from 304 to 10 (with haemostatic efficacy judged to be 'excellent' for all). The annualised bleeding rate also significantly decreased from a median of 26.5 events to one event. Safety assessments showed no inhibitory antibodies to either FVIII or VWF, no transmission of infectious agents, no thromboembolic events and no treatment-related serious adverse events. VONCENTO was shown to be well tolerated and provided excellent haemostatic efficacy in the treatment of bleeds or during prophylaxis in study participants with VWD, including also those with type 3, the severest form of VWD.
