New enzyme therapy shows promise in controlling rare blood clotting disorder
NCT ID NCT03393975
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a medicine called BAX 930 in 52 people born with severe TTP, a rare condition that causes dangerous blood clots. The medicine replaces a missing enzyme to prevent or treat sudden flare-ups. Participants received either BAX 930 or standard treatment for 6 months, then switched, followed by everyone getting BAX 930. The goal was to see if BAX 930 reduces flare-ups and is safe.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participant or legally authorized representative has provided signed informed consent \>= 18 years of age and/or assent form (signed by legal representative if participants is \<18 years of age). * Participant is 0 to 70 years of age, inclusive, at the time of screening. (Participants \< 18 years of age will be enrolled only after at least 5 adults (\>= 18 years of age) each have at least 10 exposures with BAX 930 and reviewed by the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC). In France, no participants younger than 18 years of age will be enrolled into the study before the first adult participant has been treated with BAX 930 for a minimum of 6 months. * Participant has a documented diagnosis of severe hereditary ADAMTS13 deficiency, defined as: * Confirmed by molecular genetic testing, documented in participant history or at screening, and * ADAMTS13 activity \< 10 % as measured by the fluorescent resonance energy transfer- von Willebrand factor73 (FRETS-VWF73) assay, documented in participant history or at screening (participants currently receiving standard of care (SoC) prophylactic therapy may exceed 10% ADAMTS13 activity at screening). Note: Participants currently receiving prophylactic therapy will be screened immediately prior to their usual prophylactic infusion * Participant does not display any severe thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) signs (platelet count \< 100,000/ microliter (mcL) and elevation of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) greater than (\>2)\* ULN) at screening. (Prophylactic cohort only). * Participant is currently on a prophylactic dosing regimen or has a documented history of at least 1 TTP event and an ability to tolerate SoC prophylactic dosing (prophylactic cohort only). * Participants \>= 16 years of age must have a Karnofsky score \>= 70% and participants \< 16 years of age must have a Lansky score \>= 80%. * Participant is hepatitis C virus (HCV)-negative as confirmed by antibody or polymerase chain reaction testing OR HCV-positive if their disease is chronic but stable. * If female of childbearing potential, participant presents with a negative blood or urine pregnancy test, confirmed no more than 7 days before the first administration, and agrees to employ adequate birth control measures for the duration of the study and to undergo quarterly pregnancy testing. * Sexually active males must use an accepted and effective method of contraception during the treatment and until a minimum of 16 days after the last dose administered. * Participant is willing and able to comply with the requirements of the protocol. Exclusion Criteria: * Participant has been diagnosed with any other TTP-like disorder (microangiopathic hemolytic anemia), including acquired TTP. * Participant has known hypersensitivity to hamster proteins. * Participant has experienced an acute TTP event less than 30 days prior to screening (prophylactic cohort only). * Participant has a medical history or presence of a functional ADAMTS13 inhibitor at screening. * Participant has a medical history of genetic or acquired immune deficiency that would interfere with the assessment of product immunogenicity, including participants who are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive with an absolute cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) count \< 200/ cubic millimeter (mm\^3) or who are receiving chronic immunosuppressive drugs. * Participant has been diagnosed with severe cardiovascular disease (New York Heart Association classes 3 to 4). * Participant with end stage renal disease requiring chronic dialysis. * Participant has been diagnosed with hepatic dysfunction, as evidenced by, but not limited to, any of the following: * Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \>= 2\* ULN. * Severe hypoalbuminemia \< 24 gram per liter (g/L). * Portal vein hypertension (e.g., presence of otherwise unexplained splenomegaly, history of esophageal varices). * In the opinion of the investigator, the participant has another clinically significant concomitant disease that may pose additional risks for the participant. * Participant has been treated with an immunomodulatory drug, excluding topical treatment (e.g., ointments, nasal sprays), within 30 days prior to enrollment. Use of corticosteroids in conjunction with administration of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) to prevent allergic reactions is permitted. * Participant has an acute illness (e.g., influenza, flu-like syndrome, allergic rhinitis/conjunctivitis, bronchial asthma) at the time of screening (prophylaxis cohort only). * Participant is receiving or anticipates receiving another investigational drug and/or interventional drug within 30 days before enrollment. * Participant has a history of drug and/or alcohol abuse within the last 2 years. * Participant has a progressive fatal disease and/or life expectancy of less than 3 months. * Participant is identified by the investigator as being unable or unwilling to cooperate with study procedures. * Participant suffers from 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. * Participant is a family member or employee of the sponsor or investigator. * If female, participant is pregnant or lactating at the time of enrollment. * Any contraindication to SoC medicinal product(s) as per local prescribing information.
