About this study
Official title: A Post-marketing Observational Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of the FVIII/VWF Complex (Human), Alphanate®, in Preventing Excessive Bleeding During Surgery in Subjects With Congenital Type 3 Von Willebrand Disease
To assess the efficacy of FVIII/VWF Complex (Human), Alphanate® as replacement therapy in preventing excessive bleeding in subjects with congenital Type 3 von Willebrand Disease (VWD) who undergo surgical procedures.
Read the detailed description
For the treatment of surgical procedures the intended dose of Alphanate® will be given as a single dose or as multiple doses over several days, depending on the clinical situation, and according to the Full Prescribing Information guideline and the investigator's judgment. For each treated event, the subject's treatment period will be finished when, in the opinion of the local Investigator, the participating subject would not benefit from further infusions of the study concentrate.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Alphanate SD/HTBiological
Also called Alphanate® Factor VIII/VWF concentrate (Human)
A general guideline based on the product Full Prescribing Information is recommended with a maximum dose of 80 VWF:RCof IU/kg. The number of administrations before, during, and after the surgery procedure depends on the subject's clinical condition and the type of surgery itself. Single administrations or multiple doses may be appropriate. The dose of Alphanate® administered to each subject will be recorded as IU of VWF:RCof and also as IU of FVIII:C. The lot number for each vial of concentrate administered will also be recorded.

|---|---|---|
| Coagulation FVIII/VWF | Experimental | Anti-Hemophilic/von Willebrand Factor VIII (Human) Alphanate SD/HT Receives: Biological: Alphanate SD/HT |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Investigator Overall Rating as a Measure of the Overall Treatment Outcome for Each Treated Surgical Procedure
The local Investigator to rate the replacement treatment outcome (Investigator Overall Rating - Verbal Rating Scale) as a measure of overall clinical efficacy for each treated event.
It is rated using a 2-point Verbal Rating Scale as: Excellent/Good and Poor/None.
Measured: Up to 30 days
Secondary outcomes (1)
Number of Surgical Procedures at Both Visits Rated as Excellent/Good by the Investigator
The number of surgical procedures rated by the local Investigator for the treatment outcomes at both visits.
Measured: Day 0 (surgery day) and Day 1 (post-surgery day)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Alphanate SD/HT in people with Von Willebrand Disease, run by Grifols Biologicals, LLC.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Sep 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Investigator Overall Rating as a Measure of the Overall Treatment Outcome for Each Treated Surgical Procedure (time frame: Up to 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Sep 2026.
