A Study Assessing HMB-002 in Participants With Von Willebrand Disease
What this study is about
This is a first-in-human (FIH), Phase 1/2, 3-part where both patients and doctors know the treatment given, gradually increasing doses, safety, tolerability, how the drug moves through the body (PK), how the drug affects the body (PD), and effectiveness study evaluating HMB-002 in participants with VWD.
View original scientific description
This is a first-in-human (FIH), Phase 1/2, 3-part open-label, dose escalation, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), and efficacy study evaluating HMB-002 in participants with VWD. Part A of the study involves a single ascending dose (SAD) regimen design to establish safety, tolerability, PK, and PD effect. In Part B of the study, the safety and tolerability of repeat dosing will be established prior to cohort expansion to explore efficacy. Part C will evaluate the safety, PK, and PD of a single concomitant dose of HMB-002 and factor concentrate with Type 3 VWD or Type 1 VWD with low residual VWF and FVIII who use factor concentrate as prophylaxis.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.

- Residual VWF activity of ≤ 50 IU/dL and FVIII activity ≤ 70 IU/dL during screening. Part B Only:
- Age: ≥16 and \<70 years of age at the time of informed consent.
- VWD Subtype Eligibility: Participants with Type 1 VWD (including Type 1C) and Type 2A.
- Residual VWF activity of ≤50 IU/dL and FVIII activity ≤70 IU/dL during screening.
- Symptomatic Disease: Participants must be symptomatic, typically reporting bleeding events on a monthly basis.
- Bleeding History (must meet one of the following):
- Prior Observational Study Participation: The participant must have participated in the observational study HMB-002-101\_SCR (VELORA Discover), have a minimum annualized treated bleeding event (ATBR) of 3; OR

- Age: ≥18 and \<70 years of age at the time of informed consent.
- Participants with Type 3 VWD or Type 1 VWD with low residual VWF and FVIII activity levels (VWF activity \<5 IU/dL and FVIII activity \<10 IU/dL).
- Receives regular VWF concentrate (at least 1/week) as part of their routine care (usual dose ≤50 IU/kg). Key
Exclusion criteria

- Clinically significant cardiovascular disease.
- Other known severe bleeding disorder(s) other than VWD.
- Requirement for concomitant medications that affect hemostasis (including, but not limited to anticoagulation, antiplatelet agents, certain non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and cannot refrain from use for 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug and throughout the study. Exclusion Criteria for Part A and Part B Only
- Requirement for ongoing hemostatic treatment to prevent bleeding (bleed prophylaxis). Prophylaxis administered intermittently for procedures or surgery to reduce bleeding risk is permitted.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
