New hope for toddlers with rare bleeding disorder: wilate shows promise
NCT ID NCT04953884
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a medicine called wilate in 12 children under 6 years old with severe von Willebrand disease, a bleeding disorder. The goal was to see if regular infusions of wilate could prevent bleeding episodes over 12 months. Researchers measured how many bleeds occurred, how the drug moved through the body, and any side effects. The treatment aims to control the disease, not cure it.
