主权项

1. A method for treating Von Willebrand Disease or Hemophilia A in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising: intravenously administering to the subject a composition comprising recombinant Von Willebrand Factor (rVWF) wherein endogenous Factor VIII half-life is extended as compared to a subject administered plasma derived Von Willebrand Factor, wherein the rVWF is not modified with a water soluble polymer, wherein the composition is a high molecular weight VWF multimer composition comprising at least 20% VWF decamers or higher order multimers, and wherein the rVWF has a higher specific activity than plasma derived Von Willebrand Factor, and the higher order rVWF multimers are stable for at least 3 hours post-administration.
