Immune & cytokine safety
Anti-drug antibodies observed but did not affect exposure except in one 26-week monkey
“Anti-drug antibodies were observed but did not affect drug exposure, with the exception of one animal in the 26-week Cynomolgus monkey study, which consequently was excluded from the study interpretation.”

Biodistribution & persistence
Mouse radiolabel study: free drug eliminated via kidneys, vWF-complexed drug targets and is likely catabolized in liver
“data from the biodistribution study in mice using 125I-radiolabeled caplacizumab suggest that free caplacizumab is eliminated via the kidneys, while vWF-complexed caplacizumab appears to target and possibly be catabolized in the liver.”

Modality-specific risk
Bleeding from exaggerated pharmacology (vWF neutralization)
“Excessive pharmacology in the form of increased bleeding was identified as the only relevant safety risk.”
