Abstract | Background: Purpose: To develop population pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic (PD) models that describe VWF: ristocetin cofactor (VWF:RCo) activity and its relationship with FVIII activity (FVIII:C) over time following intravenous administration of either rVWF or a pdVWF/FVIII concentrate (VWF:RCo/FVIII:C 2.4:1) in patients with VWD; to use the final PK/PD models for an in silico comparison of rVWF and pdVWF/FVIII. Methods: The population PK model for rVWF was based on data from four clinical studies in which rVWF was administered to adult patients with VWD type 1, 2 or 3 (phase 1: NCT00816660; phase 3: NCT01410227 and NCT02283268) or severe hemophilia A (phase 1: EudraCT 2011-004314-42). The PK and PK/PD models for pdVWF/FVIII were based on data from the phase 1 study (NCT00816660) in patients with type 3 VWD who received either rVWF plus recombinant FVIII (rFVIII, octocog alfa, ADVATE®, Takeda Pharmaceuticals USA, Lexington, MA, USA) or pdVWF/FVIII. Results: There was a marked difference in clearance following rVWF administration compared with pdVWF/FVIII in type 3 VWD, leading to a ~1.75 longer mean residence time (ie, persistence of VWF:RCo activity in the body) and half-life for rVWF versus pdVWF/FVIII. Simulations showed that following repeated administration of rVWF (50 IU/kg), a FVIII:C activity of >40 IU/dL can be maintained for the full 72 h dosing interval. Conclusion: The slower elimination of VWF:RCo following rVWF administration results in a prolonged effect on FVIII turnover compared with pdVWF/FVIII administration.
