28 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Immune-mediated Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a rare, autoimmune disorder characterized by life-threatening episodes of thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and organ damage. Patients have an unpredictable course punctuated by relapses associated with autoantibody-mediated (primarily IgG) depletion of ADAMTS13, a key regulator of coagulation. ADAMTS13 deficiency during remission has been associated with increased risk of relapse, but also, and potentially more devastating, ischemic stroke. Until recently, it was presumed that rituximab (a monoclonal antibody targeting B cells) improved relapse-free survival in most patients, but this was based on findings from very small studies. Given concern about stroke and relapse risk, preventive immunosuppression with rituximab has also recently come into practice for patients with falling ADAMTS13 activity (ADAMTS13-relapse). It is expected that following efgartigimod therapy, there will be a rise in ADAMTS13 activity to the normal range that will be sustained during the treatment period. Following withdrawal of therapy, it is expected that most participants will experience a fall in ADAMTS13 activity, demonstrating the safety and efficacy in efgartigimod to reliably but temporarily reduce pathogenic antibodies. This would demonstrate the potential efficacy for efgartigimod as a maintenance therapy to safely prevent relapse of iTTP to be further explored in a larger efficacy study.
This is a study of TAK-755 in adults with immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP). The main aim of this study is to determine the percentage of participants with a clinical response without plasma exchange during the study. Participants who have an acute attack of iTTP will receive TAK-755 and immunosuppressive therapy during their stay at the hospital until they achieve a clinical response. Participants will also be treated with TAK-755 for an additional time of up to 6 weeks after the acute phase. In total, participants will stay in the study for approximately 3 months.
This is a single group, treatment, Phase 3, open-label, single-arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of caplacizumab and immunosuppressive therapy (IST) without firstline therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) with primary endpoint of remission in male and female participants aged 18 to 80 years with immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP). The anticipated study duration per participant without a recurrence while on therapy is maximum 24 weeks (ie, approximately 1 day for screening + maximum 12 weeks of treatment for the presenting episode + 12 weeks of follow-up). Participants will have daily assessments during hospitalization and weekly visits for assessments during ongoing treatment with caplacizumab and IST. There will be 3 outpatient visits for assessments during the follow-up period. There will be two additional follow-up visits for participants who do not have ADAMTS13 activity levels of ≥50% at the time of caplacizumab discontinuation.
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (or TTP for short) is a condition where blood clots form in small blood vessels throughout the body. The clots can limit or block the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the body's organs, such as the brain, kidneys, and heart. As a result, serious health problems can develop. The increased clotting that occurs in TTP uses up the cells that help the blood to clot, called platelets. With fewer platelets available in the blood, bleeding problems can also occur. People who have TTP may bleed underneath the skin forming purple bruises, or purpura. TTP also can cause anemia, a condition in which red blood cells break apart faster than the body can replace them, leading to fewer red blood cells than in normal. TTP is caused by a lack of activity in the ADAMTS13 enzyme, a protein in the blood involved in controlling clotting of the blood. The ADAMTS13 enzyme breaks up another blood protein called von Willebrand factor that forms blood clots by clumping together with platelets. Some people are born with this condition, while others develop the condition during their life. Many people who are born with TTP experience frequent flare-ups that need to be treated right away. TAK-755 is a medicine that replaces ADAMTS13 and may prevent or control TTP flare-ups, called acute TTP events. The main aim of the study is to check for side effects of long-term treatment with TAK-755. Treatment will be given in 2 ways: 1. TAK-755 treatment given either every week or every other week to prevent acute TTP events from happening (the "prophylactic" cohort). 2. TAK-755 treatment given to control an acute TTP event when it happens (the "on-demand" cohort). Participants in the prophylactic cohort will receive treatment in the clinic or at home for up to approximately 3 years. They will visit the clinic at least every 12 weeks. Participants in the on-demand cohort will receive daily treatment for the acute TTP event until the flare-up has gotten better. They will have a follow-up visit at the clinic 4 weeks later.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy of rADAMTS-13 (SHP655) administered in addition to standard of care (SoC) treatment of acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP) participants.
The purpose of this study is to assess the psychometric properties of a recently developed congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP)-specific patient-reported outcomes (PRO) instrument.
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (or TTP for short) is a condition where blood clots form in small blood vessels throughout the body. The clots can limit or block the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the body's organs, such as the brain, kidneys, and heart. As a result, serious health problems can develop. The increased clotting that occurs in TTP uses up the cells that help the blood to clot, called platelets. With fewer platelets available in the blood, bleeding problems can occur. People who have TTP may bleed underneath the skin forming purple bruises or purpura, or from the surface of the skin. TTP also can cause anemia, a condition in which red blood cells break apart faster than the body can replace them leading to lower than normal number of red blood cells. A lack of activity in the ADAMTS13 enzyme, a protein in the blood involved in blood clotting, causes TTP. The enzyme breaks up another blood protein called von Willebrand factor that clumps together with platelets to form blood clots. Some people are born with this condition, others get the condition during their life. Many people who born with TTP experience frequent flareups that need to be treated right away. If not treated It can be fatal or cause lasting damage, such as brain damage or a stroke. BAX 930 is a medicine that replaces ADAMTS13 and can prevent or control TTP flareups, called TTP events. The main aim of this study is to compare the number of TTP events in people born with severe TTP when they treated with BAX 930 versus when they are treated with the standard treatment. Treatment will be given in 2 ways: * BAX 930 or standard treatment given to prevent TTP events from happening. * BAX 930 or standard treatment given to control an acute TTP event when it happens, according to the clinic's standard practice. Both BAX 930 and standard treatment are given slowly through a vein (infusion). At the first visit, the study doctor will check if you can participate in the study. If you are eligible and enter the study, you will follow an assigned schedule and either start with BAX 930 (Period 1) and then switch to standard treatment (Period 2) or start with standard treatment (Period 1) and then switch to BAX 930 (Period 2). Everyone will be treated with BAX 930 again for Period 3. Each Period will last approximately 6 months. If you enter the study to control an acute TTP event, you will follow a schedule receiving either BAX 930 or standard care to treat your acute TTP event. Once the acute TTP event has gotten better, you can decide to continue in the study and be given treatment to prevent TTP events from happening, following the schedule above. Another study's aim is to assess side effects from treatment with BAX 930 and standard treatment. To do that, the study doctor will ask you questions about your health at each study visit. The study doctors will also check how long BAX 930 stays in the blood of the participants, over time. They will do this from blood samples taken after participants receive their specific infusions of BAX 930. This will happen at different times during the study. 1 month after all treatment has been completed, participants will visit the clinic for a final check-up.
The study was a Phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy of caplacizumab in more rapidly restoring normal platelet counts as measure of prevention of further microvascular thrombosis
The purpose of this Phase 1, prospective, uncontrolled, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation study is to evaluate the safety, including immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetics of BAX930 (rADAMTS13) in a total of 14 evaluable subjects diagnosed with severe hereditary thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) (plasma ADAMTS13 activity \<6%) who are assigned to one of three dose cohorts.
In this study, the investigators want to determine if N-acetylcysteine(NAC), given intravenously, will decrease complications in patients with Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (TTP) who are receiving treatment with therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE). The investigators want to determine, through anti-oxidant activity, if NAC will have additional efficacy in TTP by improving cleavage of the patients' VWF by ADAMTS13, and preventing propagation of platelet/VWF strings. This will be manifest by a more rapid improvement in the patient's platelet count, decrease in number of days requiring TPE, and decrease in microvascular thrombotic complications. The investigators will additionally: 1) Assess safety of NAC by evaluating subjects for adverse events and significant adverse events 2) Determine effects on TTP by measuring clinical and research laboratory values 3) Determine drug effects by measuring clinical and research laboratory values.
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a disease characterized by small blood clots throughout the body that can damage major organs and cause death. TTP is treated with plasma exchange (also called "plasmapheresis"). Patients who do not respond initially to plasma exchange often are helped by later treatment with rituximab. The purpose of this study is to see whether combining low doses of rituximab with plasma exchange will help patients get better sooner and reduce the chance of getting TTP again.
Hereditary thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (Upshaw-Schulman syndrome) is a rare disorder characterized by thrombocytopenia as a result of platelet consumption, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, occlusion of the microvasculature with von Willebrand factor-platelet-thrombic and ischemic end organ damage. The underlying patho-mechanism is a severe congenital ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 13) deficiency which is the result of compound heterozygous or homozygous ADAMTS13 gene mutations. Although considered a monogenic disorder the clinical presentation in Upshaw-Schulman syndrome patients varies considerably without an apparent genotype-phenotype correlation. In 2006 we have initiated a registry for patients with Upshaw-Schulman syndrome and their family members to identify possible triggers of acute bouts of TTP, to document individual clinical courses and treatment requirements as well as possible side effects of long standing plasma substitution, e.g. alloantibody formation or viral infections.
This study was a Phase II, single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to determine whether anti-vWF Nanobody is safe and effective as adjunctive treatment in patients with aTTP. Patients received either placebo or anti-vWF Nanobody as adjunctive therapy to plasma exchange (PE).
The purpose of the study is to find out if administration of danazol with plasma exchange and corticosteroids will reduce the number of plasma exchanges required to control Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP).
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare disorder that causes blood clots to form in blood vessels. The main treatment for TTP is plasma exchange, in which affected patients receive transfusions of plasma, the liquid part of blood, from healthy donors. This study will examine the effectiveness of an antibody, rituximab, in combination with plasma exchange, at improving the immune response in people with TTP and decreasing the recurrence of TTP.
This research involves the use of immune base therapy as an adjunct to plasma exchange, the present standard of care for thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Funding source -FDA OOPD
Prior to the use of plasma products, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) was usually a fatal condition. During plasma exchange therapy, patients need transfusion plasma that is blood group specific. Transfusing a patient with an incorrect blood group may have fatal consequences. Uniplas is a universally applicable human plasma, which can be administered irrespective of the patient's blood group. This study will test the safety and efficacy of Uniplas in comparison to cryosupernatant plasma in treatment of patients with TTP.
The purpose is to evaluate safety and feasibility of the use of Rituximab as an adjunct to standard therapy (plasmapheresis + steroids) for patients with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). This includes evaluating the rate and type of treatment failure.
The objectives of this study were to evaluate long-term safety and efficacy of caplacizumab, to evaluate safety and efficacy of repeated use of caplacizumab and to characterize long-term impact of acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP).
To assess and evaluate the safety of octaplas™ in comparison to standard plasma product (e.g., fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and other approved plasma products used within 24 hours of thawing) used in the treatment of TTP, in patients undergoing Therapeutic Plasma Exchange, with a special emphasis on the occurrence of thromboembolic events (TEEs).
The investigators propose to characterize MPs in aHUS and TTP both at the onset and throughout treatment. The investigators believe that the number, size, and cell origin of MPs will differ between these two diseases. The hypothesis is that endothelial derived MPs will be higher in number and comprise a larger portion of the MP population in aHUS and that platelet MPs will comprise a larger number and greater proportion of MPs in TTP. The investigators believe that MP identity and number can be used to reliably differentiate between aHUS and TTP at disease onset.
