Application Number:11/218,406
Patent Claims:1. A method of treating a blood coagulation disorder comprising the step of administering a pharmaceutical preparation comprising an effective amount of a molecule selected from the group consisting of vWF-propeptide (pp-vWF) and pro-vWF to a patient.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the blood coagulation disorder is selected from the group consisting of von Willebrand's disease, phenotypic hemophilia, hemophilia A and factor VIII inhibitors.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical preparation further comprises an effective amount of a hemostasis protein selected from the group consisting of mature vWF, factor VIII, activated blood coagulation factors, blood factors with factor eight inhibitor bypassing (FEIB) activity and FEIBA.

4. A method according to claim 3, wherein pro-vWF is complexed to factor VIII.

5. The method according to claim 3, wherein the thrombosis risk of the patient is reduced when compared to patients treated with a pharmaceutical preparation not comprising an effective amount of a molecule selected from the group consisting of pp-vWF and pro-vWF.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the pharmaceutical preparation further comprises an effective amount of a platelet component selected from the group consisting of collagen, platelet glycoprotein, a platelet, fibrinogen, fibrin, or heparin.

7. A method of treating a patient at risk of a blood coagulation disorder comprising the step of administering a pharmaceutical preparation comprising an effective amount of a molecule selected from the group consisting of vWF propeptide (pp-vWF) and pro-vWF to a patient, wherein the blood coagulation disorder is selected from the group consisting of von Willebrand's disease, phenotypic hemophilia, hemophilia A and factor VIII inhibitors.
