Antiangiogenic Therapy to Reduce Bleeding and Improve Health-Related Quality of Life in Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia

US National Heart Lung and Blood Institute grant open #nih-5K23HL159313-04

Summary

Project Summary/Abstract Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), an autosomal dominant bleeding disorder affecting 1 in 5000 people in the US, is a devastating lifelong condition with no FDA-approved treatments. Accordingly, there is an urgent need for efficacious systemic therapies in HHT to reduce bleeding and improve health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Patients with HHT develop fragile telangiectasias along the gut and nasal mucosa secondary to elevated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This leads to recurrent severe epistaxis and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, resulti
