New treatment tested to stop rare blood disorder from coming back

NCT ID NCT04074187

Summary

This study tested whether a drug called caplacizumab could prevent acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP), a rare and serious blood clotting disorder, from coming back in Japanese patients. The trial involved 21 adults who were already receiving standard treatment for aTTP. Researchers measured if adding caplacizumab reduced disease recurrence, helped restore normal platelet counts, and improved safety outcomes over several months.
