Treatment with Cablivi should be initiated and supervised by physicians experienced in the management of patients with thrombotic microangiopathies.
First dose
Intravenous injection of 10 mg of caplacizumab prior to plasma exchange.
Subsequent doses
Daily subcutaneous administration of 10 mg of caplacizumab after completion of each plasma exchange for the duration of daily plasma exchange treatment, followed by daily subcutaneous injection of 10 mg of caplacizumab for 30 days after stopping daily plasma exchange treatment.
If at the end of this period there is evidence of unresolved immunological disease, it is recommended to optimise the immunosuppression regimen and continue daily subcutaneous administration of 10 mg of caplacizumab until the signs of underlying immunological disease are resolved (for example, sustained normalisation of ADAMTS13 activity level).
In the clinical development program, caplacizumab has been administered daily for up to 65 days. No data on re-treatment with caplacizumab are available.
For further information refer to the Product Information.

The sponsor must contact Biochemistry.Testing@health.gov.au for specific material requirements related to the batch release testing/assessment of the product. More information on TGA testing of biological medicines is available at Testing of biological medicines.
This batch release condition will be reviewed and may be modified on the basis of actual batch quality and consistency. This condition remains in place until the sponsor if notified in writing of any variation.
Certified Product Details
The Certified Product Details (CPD), as described in Guidance 7: Certified Product Details of the Australian Regulatory Guidelines for Prescription Medicines (ARGPM), in PDF format, for the above products should be provided upon registration of these therapeutic goods. In addition, an updated CPD should be provided when changes to finished product specifications and test methods are approved in a Category 3 application or notified through a self-assessable change.
CPDs should be emailed to Biochemistry.Testing@health.gov.au as a single PDF document.
- A condition of this registration will be that Study ALX0681-C302 is provided to TGA no later than it is submitted for evaluation to European Medicines Agency (EMA), United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or Health Canada.
- The Cablivi European Union-Risk Management Plan (EU-RMP) (version 1.0, dated 31 August 2018, data lock point 6 March 2018), with Australian Specific Annex (version 1.0, dated 29 May 2019), included with submission PM-2019-02057-1-6, and any subsequent revisions, as agreed with the TGA will be implemented in Australia.
An obligatory component of risk management plans is routine pharmacovigilance. Routine pharmacovigilance includes the submission of periodic safety update reports (PSURs).
Reports are to be provided in line with the current published list of EU reference dates and frequency of submission of PSURs until the period covered by such reports is not less than three years from the date of this approval letter.
The reports are to at least meet the requirements for PSURs as described in the European Medicines Agency's Guideline on Good Pharmacovigilance Practices (GVP) Module VII-periodic safety update report (Rev 1), Part VII.B Structures and processes. Note that submission of a PSUR does not constitute an application to vary the registration.
