NCT07459114
This is a Phase 1/2, prospective, adaptive design trial of TGD001 in participants with suspicion or clinical diagnosis of acute immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) episodes and participants with suspicion or clinical diagnosis of an acute Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TMA) episode. The trial is an open-label, dose escalation and expansion basket trial.
NCT06291025
Immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is caused by a severe, autoantibody-mediated deficiency of ADAMTS13 leading to an accumulation of ultra-large von Willebrand factor multimers in plasma and finally to microthrombi in blood vessels. The current standard of care of iTTP consists in the triple association of daily plasma exchange (PEX, 60 ml/kg/day), immunosuppressive agents and anti-adhesive treatment (Caplacizumab). Our group recently reported the outcome of 90 patients with iTTP treated with this triple association and when compared to historical patients, the triplet regimen prevented death, refractoriness and exacerbations. Likewise, plasma volumes were reduced by 2 to 3-fold and the median number of PEX sessions could be reduced from 13 to 6. PEX is an invasive and time-consuming procedure, associated with catheter and plasma-related complications ranging from 22% to 30%. Consequently, to alleviate the burden of care in iTTP, using a regimen without PEX would represent a major and topical goal. Attempts to treat patients with plasma infusion (PI) without PEX were previously reported and provided evidence that large volumes of PI (20-30 ml/kg/day) improved the initial outcome of iTTP. However, fluid overload occurred in most cases after 5-7 days, limiting the feasibility of this strategy. Nevertheless, the recent availability of caplacizumab opens the perspective of treating patients with plasma for a shorter period. Recently, strategies without PEX have been carried out in Jehovah's Witnesses with iTTP \[5\]. Impressively, improvement was rapid and comparable to those provided with a standard PEX-based treatment. Additionally, a treatment combining caplacizumab and immunosuppression only was successfully performed in six iTTP patients with severe neurologic and/or cardiac involvement. The rapid and durable improvement provides evidence that a regimen without plasma seems feasible. However, it's considered that robust data are still lacking to completely remove plasmatherapy from iTTP management. Based on these statements, the objective is to address the efficacy and safety of a PEX-free regimen, combining PI only (15 ml/kg/day), corticosteroids/rituximab, and caplacizumab.
NCT03205995
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the platelet count change from baseline and safety of OMS721 (narsoplimab) in adults and adolescents with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). The study will also evaluate pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and anti-drug antibody response (ADA).
NCT06102694
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about plasma biomarkers of diagnosed transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) in patients undergoing transplantation. The main questions it aims to answer are: whether there are molecules that can accurately diagnose and predict TA-TMA; whether the current biomarkers related to TA-TMA can well predict the occurrence and survival of TA-TMA in adult patients with malignant hematopoietic diseases, for example, acute leukemia. Participants will receive laboratory tests of peripheral blood and urine specimens related to TA-TMA at regular times after transplantation.
NCT05855083
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of narsoplimab in pediatric patients with thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA) following hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT).
NCT06098378
Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA) are defined as a triad combining mechanical hemolytic anemia, peripheral thrombocytopenia and ischemic organ damage. Mitomycin C is an alkylating agent used as chemotherapy in adenocarcinomas of the breast, lung, pancreas, rectum and anal carcinoma. Mitomycin-C-induced TMA (m-TMA) is a potentially serious complication of chemotherapy: its estimated incidence ranges from 4 to 15% and its mortality exceeds 70%, with an estimated median survival of 2 months. This can also be responsible for kidney failure, sometimes requiring hemodialysis. The time to onset of m-TMA varies from one week to 15 months after the last infusion and is believed to depend on the cumulative dose of mitomycin C. Eculizumab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to complement protein C5, blocking activation of the terminal complement pathway and formation of the membrane attack complex. This therapy has significantly changed the prognosis of patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a disease in which complement activation plays a central role in TMA. Recently, a retrospective study suggested efficacy of eculizumab in TMA induced by gemcitabine, another chemotherapy, with normalization of platelets and LDH in 83% of patients, and partial or complete renal recovery in 67% and 17% of patients. These results provided arguments in favor of a potential benefit of complement-targeted therapies in TMA induced by certain chemotherapies. However, data on eculizumab in m-TMA remain extremely limited to date. The objective of this study is to describe the clinical, biological and histological presentation of patients with m-TMA and their evolution after treatment with or without eculizumab.
NCT05996679
Recently a pilot study was conducted to evaluate the impact of an electronic alert (e-alert) triggered by the automated algorithm in the efficiency and rapidity in TMA patients' identification in our University Hospital A. Gemelli over 12 months.the TMA diagnostic algorithm has been implemented in the laboratory software of the hospital and applied whenever a patient in the Emergency ward or any other department undergoes blood tests that include platelet count and lactate dehydrogenase. The basic profile in the Emergency ward always has these two parameters. The algorithm automatically identifies patients with a predicted probability of TMA \>90% (6); if this criterion is associated with a platelet count\<100 x 109/L, an automated warning to the hematologist on-call is issued with an SMS, and the patient enters the TMA diagnostic process defined in the diagnostic and treatment pathways (Percorso Diagnostico e Terapeutico Assistensiale, PDTA). The on-duty hematologist urgently evaluates the patient for whom a warning has been issued, relating with the clinician(s) of the ward in which the patient is located. If the suspicion of TMA is confirmed, the diagnostic procedures outlined in the PDTA are performed, with the immediate execution of 2nd level tests. If the on-duty hematologist considers the diagnosis of aHUS possible, they contact the on-call Nephrologist directly for immediate diagnostic investigation and specific urgent therapeutic measures, as needed. The TMA-expert Hematologist and/or TMA-expert Nephrologist is notified as soon as possible by the on-duty hematologist of all cases, both highly suspected and uncertain, and follow up all patients to complete the diagnostic workup to confirm or rule out the diagnosis and implement the appropriate clinical measures. Therefore, the treatment in smaller hospitals that do not have a 24-hour hematological guard service available and the same awareness for TMA. The present study aims to validate these results by testing the system in a multicenter study involving centers with different availability of the hematologist and awareness for TMA.
NCT04570397
Ultomiris (Ravulizumab), is a monoclonal antibody that specifically targets terminal complement products and is proposed for the treatment of COVID-19 induced microvasculature injury and endothelial damage leading to thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) causing acute kidney injury (AKI). Ravulizumab is to be used for participants with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 who clinically or diagnostically present with deteriorating renal function. Ravulizumab causes immediate and sustained inhibition of the terminal complement cascade. The use of ravulizumab could ameliorate COVID-19 induced kidney injury due to TMA, shorten hospital stay, and improve the overall survival.

The observation indexes of the study include the basic information of patients' age and gender and the clinical-related data of thrombotic microangiopathy.
NCT03384693
Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a common complication in the stem cell transplant population. Certain populations within the hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) population are at a higher risk than others. Defibrotide is an endothelial stabilizing agent which may prevent the endothelial damage that triggers TMA in HSCT patients. The feasibility, safety, and efficacy of defibrotide prophylaxis in a pediatric transplant population is unknown. Twenty five patients age 0 to 30 years receiving autologous or allogeneic hematopoeitic stem cell transplant who meet TMA high risk criteria will be enrolled. Patients will receive Defibrotide for 28-35 days starting before conditioning, and will be closely monitored for any adverse events up through 6 months post-transplant. The feasibility of administering defibrotide will be evaluated as well as incidence of TMA.
NCT04949698
Early identification of the risk factors of pregnancy-related thrombotic microangiopathies can help us reduce the complications of such patients and increase the survival rate of patients. In addition, it is still controversial whether patients with pregnancy-related thrombotic microvessels should receive plasma therapy.
