Summary

This study was a Phase II, single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to determine whether anti-vWF Nanobody is safe and effective as adjunctive treatment in patients with aTTP. Patients received either placebo or anti-vWF Nanobody as adjunctive therapy to plasma exchange (PE).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 18 years of age or older (adults) or aged 12 to 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (needed to differentiate isolated increase in indirect bilirubin due to hemolysis, this was not an exclusion parameter but disease-related)
  • alanine transaminase (ALT)/ aspartate transaminase (AST) > 5 x ULN
  • alkaline phosphatase (ALP) > 5 x ULN
  • gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) > 5 x ULN
  • Severe chronic renal impairment, as defined by glomerular filtration rate < 30 mL/min

Note that the use of another investigational drug or device within 30 days prior to screening was not allowed. Participation in non-interventional/observational studies and registries during the study period was allowed. Participation in another clinical study was not allowed until the end of the follow-up period or within 30 days after the last study treatment in case of early subject withdrawal from the study. Subjects who had already participated in the current study and had either completed the study per protocol or had discontinued prematurely, were not allowed to be re-included.
