Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a research study for patients diagnosed with heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) and low Von Willebrand Factor (VWF). Menstruation, also known as a period, is the regular discharge of blood and tissues from the uterus. HMB is having a heavier amount of discharge during menstrual period. Low Von Willebrand Factor means that the participant has lower level of a blood protein that is important for clotting of blood and so, the participant is at a higher risk for bleeding.

The purpose of this project is to study the genetic differences of adolescent females with HMB and low VWF activity and compare the genetic differences with their bleeding manifestations, response to medications and outcome.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

One hundred and twenty subjects will be enrolled. Adolescent females with heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) and low Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) will be recruited.

Data collection will occur from participant's medical records in regards to their low VWF activity and HMB medical history.

Participants will be asked to complete symptom questionnaires in regards to their HMB.

A blood sample will be collected to analyze how many participants have the disease causing sequence variation in the VWF gene and other genes affecting bleeding, clotting and blood vessel biology and correlated with their bleeding history.

The blood sample will be deidentified and stored indefinitely for future research.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group A

Adolescent women with heavy menstrual bleeding and low von willebrand factor activity.

Genetic Analysis

Intervention Type OTHER

Blood sample will be drawn to assess the number of participants enrolled that have sequence variation in the von willebrand factor gene and other genes affecting bleeding, clotting and blood vessel biology.

Medical Record Data Abstraction

Intervention Type OTHER

The subject's response to intranasal or intravenous desmopressin (DDAVP) challenge performed as part of standard of care will be recorded. The desmopressin is a drug that increases the clotting factor in blood to prevent bleeding.

Medical and family history including and not limited to age, diagnoses, race/ethnicity, lab values, HMB and low VWF activity diagnoses, and treatment history and outcome will also be recorded.

Pictorial Blood Assessment Chart (PBAC) score

Intervention Type OTHER

PBAC is a pictorial tool to assess menstrual blood loss. Study team will complete the PBAC assessment with each study participant evaluating and measure response to different treatments for menstrual blood loss in the clinic setting between those with VWD versus other bleeding disorders.

Complete Bleeding Symptom ISTH Bleeding Assessment Tool

Intervention Type OTHER

Study participants will complete the ISTH BAT assessment. The ISTH BAT is a questionnaire to aid in the standardized evaluation of the presence and severity of bleeding symptoms.
