Overview

This is a Phase III, multicenter, open-label clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of emicizumab prophylaxis in participants aged 1 month and above, who have been diagnosed with Type 3 von Willebrand disease (VWD). Participants on prior standard of care (SOC) on-demand therapy will be assessed via a randomized comparison (Arm A - emicizumab prophylaxis and Arm B - continuation of SOC on-demand therapy), while participants on prior SOC prophylactic therapy (Arm C - emicizumab prophylaxis) will be assessed via intra-participant analysis with data obtained from the preceding non-interventional study (NIS), WP45335 (NCT06883240).

Additional Inclusion Criteria for Arm C:

• Age ≥2 years at the time of signing Informed Consent/Assent Form
• Documented and confirmed previous use of SOC prophylactic therapy for VWD (1-3 times weekly, as per prescribed dose) as described in the eligibility of Study WP45335

• History of intracranial hemorrhage
• Previous or current treatment for thromboembolic disease or signs of thromboembolic disease
• Other conditions (e.g., certain autoimmune diseases) that may increase risk of bleeding or thrombosis
