Management of immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura with caplacizumab : a Canadian, single-centre, real-world experience
When combined with therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) and immunosuppression, upfront universal administration of caplacizumab was shown to be effective in the management of immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP). However, access to this drug remains challenging in many jurisdictions. We retrospectively review results of a single-institution experience with caplacizumab over a 3-year period. During the study period, we treated 48 patients with iTTP, of which 11 (23%) received caplacizumab. Eight of these 11 patients (73%) were female; the median age was 45 years (IQR 37.0-58.5). All received TPE within 24 h of admission (median 9 exchanges, IQR 7.0-12.5), and high-dose steroids. Caplacizumab was initiated for a median of 6 days after admission (IQR 2.5-8.0) and continued for a median of 26 days (IQR 14.0-33.0). Five patients (45%) had refractory disease at caplacizumab initiation. Ten patients (91%) survived, reaching clinical remission. Platelet normalization was reached with a median of 4 days following caplacizumab initiation (IQR 1.5-4.0). Complications included minor bleeding (n = 1) and local allergic reaction (n = 1). No patients experienced TTP exacerbation; relapse occurred in two patients (18%) over 1-5 years of follow-up. Caplacizumab appeared to be effective and safe, despite delayed initiation and in the setting of refractory disease.
