Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Incidence of Related Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Throughout the study period of approximately 6 years

TEAE: any adverse event emerging or manifesting at or after the initiation of treatment with TAK-755 or any existing adverse event that worsens in either intensity or frequency following exposure to TAK-755. SAE: Signs, symptoms or outcomes which results in death, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, results in a congenital abnormality/birth defect, or is an important medical event.

Number of Participants With Acute Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) Events During Prophylactic Treatment
Up to 74.5 months

As per planned analysis, data for this outcome measure were collected and reported only for the prophylaxis cohorts, in a combined manner for Periods 1 and 2 for TAK-755 and SoC treatments respectively, and separately for Period 3 in which all participants received TAK-755.

Part A and B: Percentage of Participants who Develop Symptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage (sICH) as Defined by the Heidelberg Bleeding Classification System
Up to 120 hours of study drug administration

The Heidelberg Bleeding Classification System is used to determine whether an Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH) is symptomatic (sICH) or asymptomatic (aICH). It uses a structured 7-step approach that integrates imaging findings with clinical deterioration. This algorithm includes anatomic description of hemorrhage, adjudication of neurological deterioration, and relatedness between ICH and clinical deterioration. Percentage of participants who develop sICH will be reported.

Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and Adverse Event of Special Interest (AESIs) After Receiving any Dose of Investigational Product (IP)
Through study completion, approximately 12 weeks

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (e.g., a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. SAE: Signs, symptoms or outcomes which results in death, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, results in a congenital abnormality/birth defect, or is an important medical event. Adverse events of special interest include major thrombotic events and treatment-related bleeding events.

ADAMTS-13 Activity Levels
Up to Days 11 or 12

ADAMTS-13 Activity Levels was assessed by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRETS) ADAMTS13 activity, with or without SHP655 Supplementation. Schedule A (Days 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, and every 3 days thereafter) or Schedule B (Days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, and every 3 days thereafter). Data is reported for multiple timepoints as Within 15 minutes pre-PEX and post-PEX; Within 15 minutes, 0.5-3 hours, 4-6 hours post end of investigational product (IP) infusion 1; Within 15 minutes, 0.5-3 hours post end IP infusion 2; 30 minutes pre-IP infusion 2 of Schedule A and Schedule B (up to Day 11 or 12).

Platelet Count
Baseline and end of study (EOS) (up to approximately 15 months)

The platelet counts are reported in units of 10\^9 per liter blood.

Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) Levels
Baseline and EOS (up to approximately 15 months)

The lactate dehydrogenase levels are reported.

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious (TEAEs)
From date of signing informed consent up to end of study visit (Day 28)

An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this investigational product (IP) or medicinal product. TEAEs were defined as AEs that started or worsened in severity on or after the infusion of IP. A serious TEAEs was any untoward clinical manifestation of signs, symptoms or outcomes (whether considered related to investigational product or not and at any dose) which resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization, prolongation of hospitalization, was an important medical event. TEAEs included both serious and non-serious AEs.

Number of Participants Who Developed Positive Binding Anti-ADAMTS13 and Inhibitory Anti-ADAMTS13 Antibodies to TAK-755
From date of signing informed consent up to end of study visit (Day 28)

Measurement of Anti-ADAMTS13 antibodies can be used to assess whether the body's immune system has been stimulated to react to TAK-755. Binding Anti-ADAMTS13 antibodies measure antibodies that are able to bind to ADAMTS13, whether or not the antibodies have an effect on how well ADAMTS13 works. An inhibitory Anti-ADAMTS13 antibody is antibody that both binds to ADAMTS13 and able to affect how well ADAMTS13 works. Binding and Inhibitory anti-ADAMTS13 antibodies were categorized as pre-existing, treatment-induced, and treatment-boosted. Pre-existing: anti-ADAMTS13 antibodies were detected in the baseline sample prior to infusion with TAK-755. Treatment-induced: no anti-ADAMTS13 antibodies were detected in baseline sample but were detected in any sample drawn after TAK-755 infusion. Treatment-boosted: anti-ADAMTS13 antibodies were pre-existing and were detected at any time after TAK-755 infusion at titers that were at least 4 steps higher than the titers detected before TAK-755 infusion.

Occurrence of adverse events (serious and non-serious), including the incidence of binding and inhibitory antibody formation
Up to 28 (± 3) days after investigational product infusion

Recombinant ADAMTS13EXPERIMENTALThe study is comprised of 3 dose cohorts and two dose escalation steps \[Cohort 1: 3 subjects; Cohort 2: 3 subjects; Cohort 3: 8 subjects\]. Subjects will be enrolled and dosed sequentially. Subjects will be recruited to the next dose level only after short-term safety has been demonstrated and reviewed by an independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) at the preceding dose level. The first 2 subjects in any cohort will be ≥ 18 years of age. The effects of the investigational product on vital signs, hematology, and clinical chemistry parameters (up to 96 ± 2 hrs blood sampling timepoint) will determine short-term safety. The DMC will recommend whether to proceed with the study or in case of a safety concern recommend remedial actions and/or to discontinue the study. Subject participation will continue until 28 ± 3 days after infusion of the investigational product. Subject participation in one Dose Cohort (1-3) is expected to be approximately 6-8 weeks.
