Congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is caused by inherited ADAMTS13 deficiency and can be potentially life-threatening. Scully, M.D., presents results from phase 3 prospective, randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter, crossover study evaluating the efficacy/safety of rADAMTS13 prophylaxis. rADAMTS13 prophylaxis lead to no acute TTP events, and non-acute TTP manifestations were lower in comparison to the standard of care, thus making rADAMTS13 an innovative therapeutic approach for cTTP.
