New enzyme replacement therapy aims to stop dangerous blood clots in rare disease

NCT ID NCT04683003

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a medicine called TAK-755 in people with a rare inherited blood disorder called congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP). The condition causes dangerous blood clots and bleeding. TAK-755 replaces a missing enzyme to help prevent or treat these episodes. About 77 participants will receive the drug either regularly to prevent flare-ups or as needed during an acute event, and researchers will monitor side effects over about three years.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

TAK-755 (a replacement for the missing ADAMTS13 enzyme)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a safe, long-term treatment option to prevent or control TTP flare-ups, reducing hospitalizations and serious complications.

What could go wrong

This is an open-label study with no placebo group, so results may be less definitive. Long-term side effects are still being monitored, and the treatment requires regular infusions.
