We investigated on how to effectively administer orally factor VIII preparation to two patients with von Willebrand's disease as volunteers, and the following results were obtained: Bleeding time and aPTT were shortened, but no change of PT was observed. Factor VIII:C increased slightly, but no significant increase was observed in factor VIIIC:Ag. The recovery of factor VIII:C was 19-40%. Factor VIIIR:Ag increased slightly, but no changes of factor VIIIR:RCo were observed. In the Ristocetin induced platelet aggregation (1.5 mg/ml of ristocetin), the collected aggregation abilities were not clear. The factor VIII concentrate preparations, entrapped with liposome, were absorbed from the intestines.
