Clinical trial summary

  • We are conducting a clinical trial (called Velora Pioneer) for a new investigational drug that could be used to treat people with Von Willebrand Disease.
  • In this clinical trial we are recruiting male and female participants aged 18 to 65 years with Von Willebrand Disease.
  • We will observe how your body processes the new medicine and how long the new investigational drug stays in your body.
  • You will be paid for your time if you take part in this clinical trial.

If you are interested in participating in this patient engagement study:

  • The intention of the trial drug is to prevent and reduce bleeding events in people with Type 1 Von Willebrand Disease.
  • The clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety of the trial drug when given to people with Type 1 Von Willebrand Disease.
  • The trial also aims to look at how long the drug will remain in the body (pharmacokinetics), how it affects the body (pharmacodynamics), and whether it works for preventing bleeding (efficacy).

This clinical trial will be divided into two parts:

Part A: In this part of the trial, different dose levels of the trial drug will be tested. In Part A there will be up to 48 participants. Each participant will receive a single dose of the trial drug. This part will involve a screening period, an in-house stay (during which you will receive the trial drug) and a follow-up period.

Part B: In Part B there will be up to 60 participants. Each participant will receive three doses of the trial drug over a 9 week period. This part will involve a screening period, a treatment period (during which you will receive repeated doses of the trial drug) and a follow-up period.

If you are interested in taking part in Part A of this clinical trial:

  • You will need to attend a screening appointment so we can check if you are suitable to take part in the trial. At this appointment, we will perform several tests, including but not limited to taking blood, checking your heart and carrying out a physical examination.
  • If results from your screening appointment show you are suitable for the trial, you will be asked to stay for up to 4 nights in our clinical research unit.
  • During your in-house stay, you will receive a single dose of the trial drug via an injection under the skin (subcutaneous) into your abdomen, thigh or arm. After the injection, you will be required to return for follow-up visits 8, 15, 29, 48, and 57 days after you receive the trial drug.
  • This means the trial will take approximately 12 weeks from your screening visit through to your final visit. However, the trial follow-up duration may be extended based on new data.
  • During the trial, we will conduct a number of assessments (like those we did at screening) to check how well you tolerate the trial drug, and to help us understand how long the drug remains in your body (pharmacokinetics) and how it affects your body (pharmacodynamics). If you agree, you will also be asked to complete an electronic diary to record your bleeding events.

Who can take part?

We will check your eligibility for the patient engagement study using the following criteria:

  • You must be male or female between aged between 18 and 65.
  • You must be diagnosed with Type 1 Von Willebrand Disease.
  • You must not have a BMI above 35 kg/m2.
  • You must not have received any live vaccine within 28 days prior to the study and/or are planning to have a live vaccine during the study period.
  • You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Female participants of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective methods of contraception 14 days before dosing, for the duration of the trial and for 6 months after the last dose.
  • Male participants must agree to use a condom 14 days before dosing, for the duration of the trial and for 6 months after the last dose.

A full list of do’s and don’ts will be given to you by a member of our recruitment team if you are interested.

Study Summary

We are conducting a study for participants with genetically diagnosed alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (Alpha 1) who are interested in participating in future gene editing clinical trials.
In this study, we are recruiting participants with Alpha 1 (with a known or suspected PiZZ mutation) aged 18 to 70. We will give you a tour of the clinical trials unit and conduct a number of clinical assessments to establish your current health status.
This study is to help participants with Alpha 1 decide if they want to participate in future gene editing clinical trials.

If you are interested in participating in this patient engagement study

  • You will need to attend an in-person visit, we will give you a tour of the clinical trial unit and perform tests to check your general health to obtain a clinical baseline.
  • The tests can be spread over multiple days (if required).
  • You will have a follow-up call with a doctor a week after the in-person visit.
  • This means the whole process takes approximately 1 week.

Who can take part?

We will check your suitability for the clinical trial using the following criteria:
  • You are aged between 18 to 70 years (inclusive).
  • You must have been diagnosed with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (Alpha 1) (with a known or suspected PiZZ mutation).
  • You must be able and willing to provide informed consent.
