New drug could reduce need for plasma exchange in rare blood disorder
NCT ID NCT05714969
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a drug called TAK-755 in 29 adults with a rare blood clotting disorder called immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP). The goal was to see if TAK-755, along with standard immune-suppressing drugs, could control the disease with little or no plasma exchange (a procedure that cleans the blood). Participants received TAK-755 during an acute attack and for up to 6 weeks afterward, and were monitored for about 3 months for safety and response.
