Acquired Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Brief 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).

Interventions

BIOLOGICALCaplacizumab

* Subjects received a first intravenous (i.v.) bolus of 10 mg (filled at 5 mg/mL) caplacizumab via push injection within 6 hours to 15 minutes prior to the first PE on study. The first PE on study could either be the very first PE session for the current episode of aTTP (if the subject was randomized prior to the initiation of PE) or the second PE session (if the subject was randomized after a single PE session). * The first PE on study was followed by subcutaneous (s.c.) administration of 10 mg study drug within 30 minutes after the end of the PE procedure. * All subsequent study drug administrations were daily s.c. injections within 30 minutes after the end of the PE procedure (if applicable) or within 24 hours of the previous dose. * Subjects received caplacizumab up to 30 days after the last PE session.

BIOLOGICALPlacebo

* Subjects received a first i.v. bolus of placebo via push injection within 6 hours to 15 minutes prior to the first PE on study. The first PE on study could either be the very first PE session for the current episode of aTTP (if the subject was randomized prior to the initiation of PE) or the second PE session (if the subject was randomized after a single PE session). * The first PE on study was followed by s.c. administration of placebo within 30 minutes after the end of the PE procedure. * All subsequent study drug administrations were daily s.c. injections within 30 minutes after the end of the PE procedure (if applicable) or within 24 hours of the previous dose. * Subjects received placebo up to 30 days after the last PE session.

Masking
SINGLE (Subject)

Masking description

A single-blinded study design was initiated because, in the initial versions of the protocol, the dosing regimen could be adjusted dependent on the results of the Ristocetin Cofactor (RICO) test following the initial dose. Therefore, a double-blind design was not feasible because the results of the RICO test effectively unblinded the Investigator. Single-blind design was maintained due to the objective nature of the primary endpoint.

Platelet response was defined as recovery of platelets ≥ 150,000/µL. This response had to be confirmed at 48 hours after the initial reporting of platelet recovery ≥ 150,000/µL by a de novo measure of platelets ≥ 150,000/µL and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) ≤ 2x upper limit of normal (ULN) (i.e., 'confirmed platelet response').

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number and Percentage of Subjects With Exacerbations of TTPWithin 30 days of last day of initial daily PENumber and percentage of subjects with exacerbations of TTP (defined as recurrent thrombocytopenia following a confirmed platelet count response and requiring a re-initiation of daily PE treatment after ≥ 1 day but ≤ 30 days of end of daily PE treatment. Time to first exacerbation of TTP was also examined as part of this end point analysis; the median time to first exacerbation could not be determined because of the small number of events.
Number and Percentage of Subjects With Relapse of TTPLater than 30 days after the last daily PENumber and percentage of subjects with relapse of TTP (defined as de novo TTP event that occurred later than 30 days after the last daily PE) was evaluated.
Number of Daily PE Sessions During the Initial Daily PE PeriodDuring the initial daily PE period, with a median (min, max) duration of exposure to study drug of 6 (2, 36) daysNumber of daily PE sessions during the initial daily PE period which could include more than 1 PE per day was evaluated.
Total Volume of Plasma Administered During the Initial Daily PE PeriodDuring the initial daily PE period, with a median (min, max) duration of exposure to study drug of 6 (2, 36) daysThe total volume of plasma administered during the initial daily PE period was measured.
Number of Days With at Least One PE Administration During the Total Course of the StudyDuring the total course of the study (from Screening till the 12-month follow-up [FU] visit)Number of days for PE was evaluated. This implies the number of days with at least one PE administration during the total course of the study.
The Maximum Number of Consecutive Days Per Subject Where There Was no Interruption of PE During the Initial Daily PE PeriodDuring the initial daily PE period, with a median (min, max) duration of exposure to study drug of 6 (2, 36) daysThe maximum number of consecutive days per subject where there was no interruption of PE during the initial daily PE period.
Resolution of Non-focal Neurological SymptomsFrom Baseline till the 12-month FU visitResolution of non-focal neurological symptoms as defined by neurocognitive function at complete remission, measured by a Computerised Neuropsychological Test Battery(CNTB) (adults only). The CNTB included 6 modules: word list learning and selective reminding (WLL/SR), choice reaction time (CRT), visual memory (VMEM), simple reaction time (SRT), working memory (WMEM), and word list learning and delayed recall (WLL/DR). The 6 tasks are rated as a percentage correct (for CRT and SRT, the percentage correct corresponds to the percentage hits) and the mean score from these provides the CNTB summary score (range: 0-100). A higher CNTB summary score indicates better neuropsychological functioning.
Number of Participants With Resolution of TTP-related Signs or SymptomsEnd of daily PE treatment period (median [min, max] duration of exposure to study drug of 6 [2, 36] days), end of study treatment period (median [min, max] duration of exposure to study drug of 36.5 [2, 90] days) and at 1 month follow-upResolution or improvement (improvement of ≥ 1 grade in the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[CTCAE\] v4.0 scale) of TTP-related signs and symptoms as captured on physical examination and as adverse events.

Resolution of Non-focal Neurological Symptoms

Resolution of non-focal neurological symptoms as defined by neurocognitive function at complete remission, measured by a Computerised Neuropsychological Test Battery(CNTB) (adults only). The CNTB included 6 modules: word list learning and selective reminding (WLL/SR), choice reaction time (CRT), visual memory (VMEM), simple reaction time (SRT), working memory (WMEM), and word list learning and delayed recall (WLL/DR). The 6 tasks are rated as a percentage correct (for CRT and SRT, the percentage correct corresponds to the percentage hits) and the mean score from these provides the CNTB summary score (range: 0-100). A higher CNTB summary score indicates better neuropsychological functioning.

Time frame: From Baseline till the 12-month FU visit

Population: The Computerized Neuropsychological Test Battery (CNTB) was completed by a low proportion of subjects with baseline data available for only 3 subjects in the caplacizumab and 4 subjects in the placebo group and 12 month post-discharge data available for 10 and 6 subjects, respectively.
