Expanded Access Program of TAK-755 for Congenital Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (cTTP)

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP)

The expanded access program allows people to gain access to unlicensed treatment on compassionate grounds. TAK-755 also known as rADAMTS13, is a medicine that treats people born with severe congenital or hereditary thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP). This expanded access program enables continued access to those participants who have no other treatment options available for cTTP.

A single site observational study aiming to: (i) Identify cases of previously undiagnosed thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and atypical haemolytic syndrome (aHUS) in a cohort of women with complicated pregnancies (ii) Characterise the clinical features of these cases and (ii) Identify clinical features or biomarkers which may help distinguish TTP/aHUS from other complications of pregnancy such as preeclampsia

The ConNeCT Study: Neurological Complications of TTP

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare condition, which has a very high risk of death if not recognised and given immediate treatment. TTP is caused by a very low level of an enzyme in the body, called ADAMTS13. A lack of ADAMTS13 causes multiple small clots to form around the body which can disrupt the blood flow to important organs. Although survival has improved significantly, it is now being recognised that patients with TTP may suffer with longer term complications as a result of their condition; literature from the USA reports higher rates of major depression and also poor memory and reduced concentration in patients with TTP. The investigators aim to improve the understanding of the long-term complications and review, for the first time, forward-looking data at multiple time points in patients with TTP in the UK. Both patients with a new diagnosis and patients with a known diagnosis of TTP identified in NHS hospitals will be included, over a minimum duration of 2 years. This will be a questionnaire based study with both doctor led and participant led questionnaires at pre-determined points in time. By improving the understanding and comparing symptoms to that of the general population, the investigators hope to improve the support and tailor the treatments which can be offered to patients with TTP.

Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune bleeding disorder characterized by bleeding due to isolated thrombocytopenia with platelet count less than 100 × 109/L. ITP is classified based on course of disease into acute (3- <12 months), and chronic (≥12 months). ITP usually has a chronic course in adults whereas approximately 80-90% of children undergo spontaneous remission within weeks to months of disease onset. The main pathogenesis of ITP is the loss of immune tolerance to platelet auto-antigens, which results in increased platelet destruction and impaired thrombopoiesis by autoantibodies and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Platelet autoantibodies, particularly antiglycoprotein (GP) GPIIbIIIa and anti-GPIbIX, are known to cause thrombocytopenia in patients with ITP. As a main component of cellular immunity, T cells play an important role in body defense and peripheral tolerance. Changing number and function of these cells is closely associated with various diseases, including ITP.NK cells can also modulate cellular immunity in ITP patients.

Lymphocyte Counts in Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Thrombocytopenic Purpura

immune thrombocytopenic purpura is an acquired autoimmune disorder characterized by increased platelet destruction and decreased platelet number (cooper N et al 2006) recent studies have demonstrated that the pathogenesis of ITP envolves multifactorial autoimmune mechanisms of both humoral and cellular immunity and that acute and chronic forms may represent two distinct immunopathological disorders ( cooper N et al 2006) ( Gern Sheimer T 2009 )

Cohort of Children With Acute Immune or Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) : a Prospective...

Acute Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

The objective of this study is to describe a paediatric population presenting an acute idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and their evolution during their therapy in the region Pays de la Loire. The study will particularly evaluate the quality of life of these patients and their parents. The secondary objectives are to identify the predictive factors of the complications, the repetitions and the chronicity of the ITP, to estimate the principal parameters of the economic cost of therapy of the children suffering from ITP according to the protocol of therapy, set up in the region Pays de la Loire and the constitution of a blood sample collection which allow a better understanding of the physiopathology of this disease. It is about a prospective, multicentric clinical epidemiologic study of a paediatric cohort. Patients: 100 children from 0 to 17,99 years suffering from a first discovered ITP. The patients are not included if they present a serious, intercurrent, stabilized chronic pathology or not likely to modify the quality of life of the child and if they present a pathology other than the thrombopenia bringing into play the vital prognosis within a time lower than one year. These patients will be followed for 6 months according to the diagnosis of their ITP. During the 6 months follow-up of each patient, the study will not carry out more consultations, nor more blood tests than the usual follow-up of a child suffering from ITP. On the other hand, in addition to the J0 questionnaire, it will be requested to the patient and to his family to fill in the questionnaires of quality of life and way of life during the consultations of J8, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. A check-up of autoimmunity at 6 months will be carried out if the thrombopenia persists (this check-up is usual and not-specific to the study). At the time of the blood test for the control of the platelets at J0 and 6 months, an additional blood sample will be carried out: 5 ml are taken for the children of an age ≤ at 2 years, 10 ml from 2 to 4 years and 15 ml of blood for the children of an age > at 4 years. These blood samples are intended for the constitution of a blood sample collection. The protocol of therapy of the children suffering from ITP is homogeneous in all centers, this protocol being a consensus established by the network of Oncopaediatrics of the Pays de la Loire. The instituted treatment will be in function of the gravity of the ITP expressed in 4 stages: Stage I: Platelets > 20 gigas/L and absence of clinical signs. Stage II: Platelets > 10 gigas/L and hemorrhagic signs: haematomas, petechias or occasional epistaxis without repercussion on the daily life. Stage III: moderate. Platelets > 10.000/mm3 and epistaxis with gauze pluggings or mucous lesions. Stage IV: severe. Platelets ≤ 10.000/mm3 or fall of 2 grs/dl of haemoglobin with bleedings: epistaxis, melaena or haemorrhages requiring a blood transfusion or an hospitalization and important changes in the activities of the daily life. Stages I and II do not receive any treatment and benefit from a simple monitoring. Stages III benefit from either a corticosteroid treatment (Méthylprednisolone or Prednisone) at the dose of 4 mg/kg and per day in 2 intervals during 4 days (maximal dose of 100 mg/day) or a monitoring according to the appreciation of the clinician. Stages IV profit in first intention from a treatment by Méthylprednisolone or Prednisone at the dose of 4 mg/kg and per day in 2 intervals during 4 days (maximal dose of 100 mg/jour). The therapeutic attitude and the stadification belong to a regional consensus, established before the study, but each one can decide to apply a treatment according to the gravity of the clinical state of the child.
