Alternate-day dosing of caplacizumab for immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura

Lucas Kuehne et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the risks and benefits of an alternate-day dosing regimen of caplacizumab in 25 iTTP patients. The results showed that alternate-day dosing appeared feasible and led to persisting normal platelet counts in most patients. However, some patients experienced exacerbations or relapses that required daily administration of caplacizumab.

Mind and matter: The neurological complications of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura

Rebecca J. Shaw et al.

Summary: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is a rare and potentially fatal condition with neurological complications that have a significant impact on patient prognosis. Neuroimaging may play a crucial role in guiding treatment and preventing vascular diseases as our understanding of the acute and chronic stages of TTP deepens. Reduced ADAMTS13 activity levels are associated with increased thrombotic risk, and novel therapies may offer neuroprotective effects. Screening and timely intervention for TTP patients are of great importance.

Redefining outcomes in immune TTP: an international working group consensus report

Adam Cuker et al.

Summary: Immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a potentially fatal disease caused by severe deficiency of ADAMTS13, and standardized definitions of response and exacerbation primarily based on platelet count have been modified to incorporate ADAMTS13 activity and the effects of anti-VWF therapy. The revised definitions distinguish between clinical and ADAMTS13 remission and relapse, and are benchmarked against not only the timing of discontinuation of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) but also that of anti-VWF therapy. Validation of the revised definitions is retrospective, with discussion on the clinical implications of the updated outcome definitions.

Real-world experience with caplacizumab in the management of acute TTP

Tina Dutt et al.

Summary: In a real-world study of 85 patients receiving caplacizumab, it was found that caplacizumab in combination with PEX and other treatments effectively shortened the time to platelet count normalization in a clinical setting, demonstrating favorable outcomes compared to historical controls.

Multimer Analysis of Von Willebrand Factor in Von Willebrand Disease with a Hydrasys Semi-Automatic Analyzer-Single-Center Experience

Ingrid Skornova et al.

Summary: von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder caused by defects or deficiency of von Willebrand factor. Laboratory testing for VWF-related disorders requires assessment of VWF levels and activity, as well as multimer analysis to evaluate structural features. The introduction of VWF multimer analysis into standard VWD diagnostics helps in patient classification, treatment selection, and dosage determination.

Recombinant ADAMTS13 reduces abnormally up-regulated von Willebrand factor in plasma from patients with severe COVID-19

Peter L. Turecek et al.

Summary: Thrombosis is common in severe COVID-19 patients, with an imbalance of VWF/ADAMTS13 implicated in its pathogenesis. Correction of this imbalance through rADAMTS13 may help restore hemostatic balance and potentially serve as a therapeutic approach in severe COVID-19 cases.
