Brief summary
This is a single-arm pilot study in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Telitacicept will be added on traditional antithrombotic and immunosuppressive treatment in primary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) patients with three positive antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) and at least one extra-criteria manifestations, including thrombocytopenia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, aPL associated nephropathy, heart valvular disease, non-stroke neurological manifestations. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Telitacicept in preventing thrombosis and improving extra-criteria manifestations on high-risk APS patients.
Detailed description
The study started on July 2021 and will last 1.5 years. Primary APS patients with three positive aPL and extra-criteria manifestations with be enrolled. This is a single-arm pilot study. Telitacicept 160mg once a week for 24 weeks will be added on traditional antithrombotic and immunosuppressive treatment. Patients will be followed on week 12 and week 24. The primary endpoint is new thrombotic event. The secondary endpoints are improvement of extra-criteria manifestations, and titer change of aPL.
