Popis: The benefits of caplacizumab in acute immune mediated TTP (iTTP) are well established. We identified a delay in normalisation of ADAMTS13 activity (>30%) in a subgroup of caplacizumab treated patients which was not evident in the pre-caplacizumab era. Caplacizumab treated patients (n=64) achieved ADAMTS13 activity >30% at median 31 days post PEX, compared to 11.5 days in the non-caplacizumab group (n=50, p=0.0004). 18/64 (28%) caplacizumab treated patients had an ADAMTS13 activity 30% (median 139 days after completing PEX). 18/64 (28%) of patients receiving extended caplacizumab (31-58 days) failed to achieve ADAMTS13 activity >30% at time of stopping caplacizumab compared to 4/47 (8.5%) of historical controls at similar timepoint (30+28 days, p30% within 30+28 days was 6 times more likely in caplacizumab treated patients (OR 6.3, p=0.0006).
