- Treatment of mucosal bleeding (epistaxis, gastrointestinal and menorrhagia) and joint bleeding remains problematic in clinically severe von Willebrand Disease (VWD). Patients are often unresponsive to treatment (e.g. desmopressin or antifibrinolytic therapy) and may require von Willebrand (VW) factor replacement therapy. There are little data on the use of prophylaxis in VWD and none applied in a prospective, treatment escalation design.

- Objective: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and the clearance pathways of rFVIIa after intravenous administration to haemophilia patients. Methods: Ten severe haemophilia patients were included in the study; all patients were intravenously administered a clinical relevant dose of 90 μg/kg (1.8 nmol/kg) rFVIIa. Blood samples were collected consecutively to describe the pharmacokinetics of rFVIIa. All samples were analysed using three different assays: a clot assay to measure the activity (FVIIa:C), an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) to measure the antigen levels (FVII:Ag), and a EIA (FVIIa-AT) to measure the FVIIa antithrombin III (AT) complex. Pharmacokinetic parameters were evaluated both by use of standard non-compartmental methods and by use of mixed effects methods. A population pharmacokinetic model was used to simultaneously model all three datasets. The total body clearance of rFVIIa:C was estimated to be 38 mL/h/kg. The rFVII:AT complex formation was responsible for 65% of the total rFVIIa:C clearance. The initial and the terminal half-life of rFVIIa:C was estimated to be 0.6 and 2.6 hours, respectively. The formation of rFVII-AT complex were able to explain the difference observed between the rFVIIa:C and the rFVII:Ag concentration. The non-compartmental analysis resulted in almost identical parameters.

- Development of autoantibody against coagulation factor V (FV) is a rare clinical condition with hemorrhagic complications of varying severity. The aim of this study was to establish the pathomechanism of an acquired FV deficiency and characterize the FV inhibitor responsible for the clinical symptoms. A 78-year-old female was admitted to hospital with severe gastrointestinal bleeding. General clotting tests and determination of clotting factors were performed by standard methods. FV antigen and FV containing immune complexes were measured by ELISA. The FV molecule was investigated by Western blotting and by sequencing the f5 gene. The binding of patient's IgG to FV and activated FV (FVa) was demonstrated in an ELISA system and its effect on the procoagulant activity of FVa was tested in clotting tests and in a chromogenic prothrombinase assay. Localization of the epitope for the antibody was performed by blocking ELISA. FV activity was severely suppressed both in plasma and platelets. FV antigen levels were normal by ELISA using polyclonal anti-FV antibody or monoclonal antibody against the connecting region of FV, but depressed when HV1 monoclonal antibody against the C2 domain in the FV light-chain was used as capture antibody. The FV molecule was found intact. An IgG reacting with both FV and FVa was present in the patient's plasma and its binding to FV was inhibited by HV1 antibody. FV-containing immune complexes were detected in the patient's plasma and platelet lysate. The patient's IgG inhibited the procoagulant function of FVa. An anti-FV IgG was present in the patient's plasma and platelets. The autoantibody reacted with an epitope in the C2 domain of FV light chain and neutralized the procoagulant function of FVa.

- BACKGROUND: The inflammatory biomarker interleukin-6 (IL-6) is associated with mortality in atrial fibrillation (AF).OBJECTIVE: To investigate if repeated IL-6 measurements improve the prognostication for stroke or systemic embolism, major bleeding, and mortality in anticoagulated patients with AF.METHODS: IL-6 levels by ELISA were measured at study entry and at 2 months in 4830 patients in the Apixaban for Reduction in Stroke and Other Thromboembolic Events in Atrial Fibrillation (ARISTOTLE) trial with 1.8 years median follow-up. In the Randomized Evaluation of Long-Term Anticoagulation Therapy (RE-LY) trial, IL-6 was measured at study entry, 3, 6, and 12 months in 2559 patients with 2.0 years median follow-up. Associations between a second IL-6 measurement and outcomes, adjusted for baseline IL-6, clinical variables, and other cardiovascular biomarkers, were analyzed by Cox regression.RESULTS: Median IL-6 levels were 2.0 ng/L (interquartile range [IQR] 1.30-3.20) and 2.10 ng/L (IQR 1.40-3.40) at the two time-points in ARISTOTLE, and, in RE-LY, 2.5 ng/L (IQR 1.6-4.3), 2.5 ng/L (IQR 1.6-4.2), 2.4 ng/L (IQR 1.6, 3.9), and 2.4 ng/L (IQR 1.5, 3.9), respectively. IL-6 was associated with mortality; hazard ratios per 50% higher IL-6 at 2 or 3 months, respectively, were 1.32 (95% confidence interval, 1.23-1.41; P < .0001) in ARISTOTLE, and 1.11 (1.01-1.22, P = .0290) in RE-LY; with improved C index from 0.74 to 0.76 in ARISTOTLE, but not in the smaller RE-LY cohort. There were no consistent associations with second IL-6 and stroke or systemic embolism, or major bleeding.CONCLUSIONS: Persistent systemic inflammatory activity, assessed by repeated IL-6 measurements, is associated with mortality independent of established clinical risk factors and other strong cardiovascular biomarkers in anticoagulated patients with AF.
