    Abstract Monitoring factor VIII (FVIII) activity has traditionally been complicated by discrepancies between assays for the various sorts of FVIII molecules. The advent of novel nonfactor therapies (emicizumab, fitusiran, and anti-tissue factor pathway inhibitor antibodies) in hemophilia A poses a new level of difficulty on the laboratory monitoring of these patients. To use the correct assays and for a proper interpretation of their results, it is pertinent to understand the mode of action of these nonfactor agents. Furthermore, the biochemical consequences for the different types of activity assays (whether it be specific FVIII activity assays or global coagulation assays) should be taken into account as well. In this review, these aspects will be discussed. In addition, the use of various animal models to estimate FVIII-equivalence of the nonfactor therapies will be presented.

    Abstract Replacement therapy has been proven effective in the management of bleedings in haemophilia A. Nevertheless, this approach comes with several shortcomings, like the need for frequent intravenous infusions and the development of neutralizing antibodies in 20 to 30% of the patients with severe haemophilia A replacement. This has led to the development of novel strategies to expand the spectrum of treatment options, some of which are based on antibody technology. These include a bispecific antibody that bridges enzyme factor IXa and substrate factor X, monoclonal antibodies that block the function of tissue factor pathway inhibitor, and a factor VIII-nanobody fusion protein with strongly enhanced von Willebrand factor binding. In this review, functional and mechanistic considerations on the use of these antibody variants will be discussed.

    Abstract von Willebrand disease (VWD) is characterized by its heterogeneous clinical manifestation, which complicates its diagnosis and management. The clinical management of VWD has remained essentially unchanged over the last 30 years or so, using von Willebrand factor (VWF) concentrates, desmopressin, and anti-fibrinolytic agents as main tools to control bleeding. This is in contrast to hemophilia A, for which a continuous innovative path has led to novel treatment modalities. Despite current VWD management being considered effective, quality-of-life studies consistently reveal a higher than anticipated burden of VWD on patients, which is particularly true for women. Apparently, despite our perceived notion of current therapeutic efficiency, there is space for innovation with the goal of reaching superior efficacy. Developing innovative treatments for VWD is complex, especially given the heterogeneity of the disease and the multifunctional nature of VWF. In this perspective article, we describe several potential strategies that could provide the basis for future VWD treatments. These include genetic approaches, such as gene therapy using dual-vector adenoassociated virus and transcriptional silencing of mutant alleles. Furthermore, protein-based approaches to increase factor FVIII levels in VWD-type 3 or 2N patients are discussed. Finally, antibody-based options to interfere with VWF degradation (for congenital VWD-type 2A or acquired von Willebrand syndrome-type 2A) or increase endogenous VWF levels (for VWD-type 1) are presented. By highlighting these potential strategies, we hope to initiate an innovative path, which ultimately would allow us to better serve VWD patients and their specific needs.

    Abstract Deficiency or dysfunction of von Willebrand factor (VWF) is associated with a bleeding disorder known as von Willebrand disease (VWD). The clinical manifestations of VWD are heterogeneous, and are in part dictated by the structural or functional defects of VWF. The tools to control bleeding in VWD are dominated by VWF concentrates, desmopressin and antifibrinolytic therapy. In view of these treatments being considered as effective, it is surprising that quality-of-life studies consistently demonstrate a significant mental and physical burden in VWD patients, particularly in women. Apparently, the current weaponry to support the management of VWD is insufficient to fully address the needs of the patients. It is important therefore to continue to search for innovative treatment options which could better serve the VWD patients. In this short review, two of such options are discussed in more detail: emicizumab to correct for the deficiency of factor VIII (FVIII), and the pegylated aptamer BT200 to increase endogenous levels of the VWF/FVIII complex.

    Abstract Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is an essential contributor to microvascular thrombosis. Physiological cleavage by ADAMTS13 limits its prothrombotic properties, explaining why ADAMTS13 deficiency leads to attacks of microthrombosis in patients with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). We previously reported that plasminogen activation takes place during TTP attacks in these patients. Furthermore, stimulation of plasminogen activation attenuates pathogenesis in preclinical TTP models in vivo. This suggests that plasmin is an endogenous regulator of VWF thrombogenicity, in particular when ADAMTS13 falls short to prevent microvascular occlusions. VWF cleavage by plasmin is biochemically distinct from cleavage by ADAMTS13. We hypothesized that plasmin-cleaved VWF (cVWF) holds value as a biomarker of microvascular thrombosis. We here describe the development of a VHH-based bioassay that can distinguish cVWF from intact and ADAMTS13-cleaved VWF in plasma. We validate this assay by tracking cVWF release during degradation of microthombi in vitro. We demonstrate that endogenous cVWF formation takes place in TTP patients during acute attacks of thrombotic microangiopathy, but not in remission. Finally, we show that therapeutic plasminogen activation in a mouse model for TTP amplifies cVWF formation, which is accompanied by VWF clearance. Our combined findings indicate that cVWF is released from microthrombi in the context of microvascular occlusion.

    Abstract Background: Biosynthesis of von Willebrand factor (VWF) in endothelial cells drives the formation of storage-organelles known as Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs). WPBs also contain several other proteins, including angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2).
    Objectives: At present, the molecular basis of the VWF-Ang-2 interaction is poorly understood. Here, we used immunosorbent-binding assays and specific recombinant VWF fragments to analyze VWF-Ang-2 interactions.
    Results: We found that VWF bound to immobilized Ang-2 most efficiently (half-maximal binding at 0.5 ± 0.1 μg/mL) under conditions of high CaCl
    Conclusion: Our data show that both Ang-1 and Ang-2 bind to VWF, seemingly using different interactive sites. Ang-2 modulates the binding of VWF to Ang-1, the (patho)-physiological consequences of which remain to be investigated.
