Breakthrough in Blood: Cécile Denis and INSERM Team Develop Nanobody Therapy for Type 1 VWD
Cécile Denis, director of research at INSERM, shared a post on LinkedIn:
”The result of an almost 10-year journey: a bispecific nanobody bridging von Willebrand factor to albumin in order to prolong the half-life of VWF and increasing its plasma levels. A potential treatment for patients with decreased VWF levels (Type 1 VWD).
We should not forget that Von Willebrand disease remains largely underestimated and therefore untreated, especially in type 1 patients.
