The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics and demonstrate bioequivalence of a reconstituted new lyophilized formulation of caplacizumab for subcutaneous (s.c.) injection as compared to an equal nominal s.c. dose of the reference liquid formulation of caplacizumab.
The secondary objective of the study is to compare the safety and tolerability, and the pharmacodynamic parameters of the new formulation with those of the reference formulation.

- Pharmacokinetics: concentration of caplacizumab in plasma [ Time Frame: Day 1 (pre-dose) until Day 7 ]
- Pharmacodynamics as measured by Ristocetin cofactor activity in plasma [ Time Frame: During screening until day 29 +/-1 ]
- Safety and Tolerability: safety markers [ Time Frame: From signing of informed consent form until day 43 +/- 2 ]Adverse events, local tolerability, laboratory assessments, urinalysis, vital signs, 12-lead ECG, physical examinations
- Pharmacodynamics as measured by von Willebrand factor antigen in plasma [ Time Frame: During screening until Day 29 +/- 1 ]
- Pharmacodynamics as measured by Factor VIII clotting activity in plasma [ Time Frame: During screening until day 29 +/- 1 ]
