n, number of study participants with characteristic; N, total number of study participants; PK, pharmacokinetic; VWD, von Willebrand disease. Among other bleedings, one study participant experienced ulorrhagia after each meal, that is, 2–3 times per day; such bleedings also occurred during the study, but were not reported as they were considered too minor.

aBody weight measured at month 12 (start of prophylactic treatment for arm 3 study participants).
