9. The subject has been diagnosed with renal disease, with a serum creatinine (CR) level ≥2.5 mg/dL.
10. The subject has a platelet count <100,000/mL at screening. (for subjects with type 2B VWD, platelet count(s) at screening will be evaluated taking into consideration historical trends in platelet counts and the investigator's medical assessment of the patient's condition).
11. The subject has been treated with an immunomodulatory drug, excluding topical treatment (eg, ointments, nasal sprays), within 30 days prior to signing the informed consent (or assent, if appropriate).

16. For new OD subjects, the subject is scheduled for a surgical intervention.
17. The subject is identified by the investigator as being unable or unwilling to cooperate with study procedures.
18. The subject has a mental condition rendering him/her unable to understand the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study and/or evidence of an uncooperative attitude.

AE will be assessed at each study visit. thromboembolic events and occurrence of hypersensitivity reactions monitored throughout the study.
