New treatment option for Immune-mediated Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Official title A Pilot Study of Efgartigimod for Immune-mediated Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (iTTP)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06831058
What this study is testing
What is efgartigimod?
efgartigimod is an investigational medicine, given as an once-weekly infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- 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.
