Summary: multicenter, prospective, non-controlled study in a pediatric cohort (\<6 years-old) with severe (type 2 or 3) hereditary von willebrand disease (vwd).

this is a multicenter, prospective, open-label, and single-arm study. the study population is planned to include 8 pediatric subjects (\<6 years of age) with severe (type 2 or 3) hereditary vwd without inhibitors and with no active bleeding at the time of inclusion. eligible subjects will receive a single dose of fanhdi for a pk evaluation and will be followed for 12 months for which the efficacy and safety of fanhdi will be assessed. in addition, the type 3 vwd subjects, after 6 months of follow-up of the first infusion, will receive the second dose as in the 1st pk evaluation and undergo a 2nd pk evaluation. the study will consist of 2 phases: * pk profile evaluation in which all eligible subjects will receive a single dose of 80 iu/kg von willebrand factor: ristocetin cofactor activity (vwf:rco) of fanhdi. in addition, after 6 months of follow-up of the first infusion, type 3 vwd subjects will receive the second dose of fanhdi and undergo a 2nd pk evaluation with a reduced sampling schedule. * a 12-month follow-up period during which the safety and efficacy of fanhdi will be assessed in the prevention and management of bleeding episodes and/or management of perioperative hemostasis during surgery and/or invasive procedures.
