PG - 1076029619873976 LID - 10.1177/1076029619873976 [doi] LID - 1076029619873976 AB - Patients with von Willebrand disease (VWD) often require treatment with supplemental von Willebrand factor (VWF) prior to procedures or to treat bleeding. Commercial VWF concentrates and more recently recombinant human VWF (rVWF) have replaced cryoprecipitate as the mainstay of therapy. In comparison with cryoprecipitate, the VWF content and multimer distribution under current manufacturing processes of these commercial products has not been reported. We measured the factor VIII (FVIII:C), VWF antigen (VWF:Ag), VWF collagen-binding activity (VWF:CB), VWF platelet-binding activity by GPIbM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (VWF:GPIbM), and percentage of high-molecular-weight (HMWM) VWF in 3 pools of group A and O cryoprecipitate, 3 vials of VWF concentrate (Humate-P), and 1 lot of rVWF (Vonvendi). We found that both group O and group A cryoprecipitate have significantly higher ratios of VWF:GPIbM activity and FVIII:C activity relative to VWF:Ag and have better preservation of HMWM than Humate-P. Although not compared statistically, rVWF appears to have more HMWM VWF and a higher ratio of VWF:GPIbM to VWF:Ag than Humate-P and cryoprecipitate. The estimated acquisition cost for our hospital for treating one major bleeding episode was more than 4-fold higher with Humate-P and 7- to 10-fold higher with rVWF than with cryoprecipitate.
