U.S. FDA Approves Expanded Indication for VONVENDI®
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for VONVENDI® [von Willebrand factor (recombinant)], broadening its indications in von Willebrand disease (VWD).
Key updates include:
- Routine prophylaxis: Now approved to reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes in adults with Type 1 and Type 2 VWD.
- Pediatrics: Approved for on-demand and perioperative management of bleeding in children with VWD.
- Expanded adult use: Builds on prior approvals for on-demand and perioperative management in adults, and prophylaxis in severe Type 3 VWD.
With this decision, VONVENDI becomes the only recombinant VWF replacement therapy approved for both adults and pediatric patients across multiple VWD types.
