Une étude menée par le consortium international sur le PTT et autres MAT, à laquelle la France a grandement participé, montre que le caplacizumab, lorsqu'il est administré tôt, améliore la survie et réduit les complications.

ADAMTS13 70% 就不是 TTP
確診 TTP 需要活性 <10%。血漿置換 7 天後測到 70%,代表當初的診斷方向要重新檢討 —— 應停止血漿置換,回頭找其他 TMA 原因(aHUS、次發性 TMA、惡性腫瘤相關)。
繼續置換並加 caplacizumab 或 rituximab 是錯誤的方向。

Caplacizumab 不是取代 ADAMTS13
它是 anti-VWF 的 nanobody,阻斷 VWF A1 domain 與血小板 GPIb 的交互作用,把「血小板黏上去」這一步擋掉。
它不分解 ULVWF,也不影響抗體生成,所以必須併用血漿置換與免疫抑制,不能單獨使用。

三種 TMA 的分流
ADAMTS13 <10% → TTP,治療是血漿置換加免疫抑制(可加 caplacizumab)。
前驅血性腹瀉、補體正常 → STEC-HUS,支持性治療為主,不建議抗補體。
兩者都不是 → aHUS,治療用 eculizumab 或 ravulizumab。

Caplacizumab 的角色與代價
Nanobody,阻斷血小板與 VWF 結合,可加速血小板正常化、降低 30 天內早期復發(風險差 −29%),但出血風險上升(風險差 +17%)。
它不影響抗 ADAMTS13 抗體的產生,所以必須併用類固醇與 rituximab,否則停藥後晚期復發。

Might kick this off with a short and sweet piece about TTP and pregnancy.

TTP is always a time for swift action but it doesn’t have to be scary:
(1) Stop clots fast
(2) Multidisciplinary decision making
(3) Best thing for bub is a healthy mum
TTP and pregnancy
Following the diagnosis of thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) in pregnancy, plasma exchange and steroids should be initiated. Rituximab can be used and caplacizumab can be considered. In subsequent pregn...
