The main aim of the study is to check effectiveness of rVWF (vonicog alfa) prophylaxis based on the annualized bleeding rate (ABR) of spontaneous (not related to trauma) bleeding episodes in pediatric and adult participants during the first 12 months on study treatment.
The participants will be treated with rVWF for a maximum of 3 years. Their von Willebrand Disease will be treated according to Investigational product (IP) dosing directions.

Delay criteria Only for Cohort 4, if the participant presents with an acute bleeding episodes or acute illness (eg, influenza, flu-like syndrome, allergic rhinitis/conjunctivitis, and non-seasonal asthma) the screening visit will be postponed until the participant has recovered. For all other participants, end of study (EOS) visit for 071102 or 071301 will be completed per protocol and the completed EOS in Study 071102 or 071301 will also serve as the screening visit for this continuation study (SHP677-304).
