Successful Treatment of Acquired Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura With Caplacizumab Combined With Plasma Exchanges and Immune Suppression in 3 Children. J Pediatr Hematol Oncol 2024; 46:e220-e222. [PMID: 38447071 PMCID: PMC10956674 DOI: 10.1097/mph.0000000000002843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024]
Abstract
Acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic (aTTP) purpura is a life-threatening condition that can lead to devastating thromboembolic events. Recently, caplacizumab has been shown to rapidly restore platelet numbers and reduce the risk of severe end-organ damage when added to plasma exchanges (PEXs) and immunosuppression (IST). Here, we report the outcomes in 3 children with aTTP who were treated with caplacizumab in combination with PEXs and IST. In all 3 patients, platelet count increased to >15,000/mm 3 in 24 h and normalized on day 4, whereas normalization of ADAMTS13 activity >50% and elimination of the inhibitor was achieved after 18 to 89 days. Epistaxis was observed in 2 patients and was the only side effect related to caplacizumab. Caplacizumab is a promising agent for first-line treatment of children with aTTP.

Abstract
Immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a rare and life-threatening haematological condition. Initial treatment involves plasma exchange (PLEX), corticosteroids, caplacizumab and rituximab. In relapsed and refractory cases despite initial treatments, further immune-modulating therapy includes the proteasome inhibitor, bortezomib. Evidence for bortezomib in this setting is limited to case reports and case series. We report our experience and perform a systematic review of the literature. We identified 21 publications with 28 unique patients in addition to our cohort of eight patients treated with bortezomib. The median age of patients was 44 years (IQR: 27-53) and 69% female. They were usually in an initial, refractory presentation of iTTP where they had received PLEX, corticosteroids, rituximab and another line of therapy. After bortezomib administration, 72% of patients had a complete response, with 85% maintaining a durable response without relapse at the last follow-up.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the efficacy and adverse reactions of a combination therapy regimen based on bortezomib and glucocorticoids in recurrent/refractory immune thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) . Methods: Six patients with recurrent/refractory TTP were included and treated with a glucocorticoid and two courses of bortezomib-based regimen. The clinical remission status of patients, changes in ADAMTS13 activity/ADAMTS13 inhibitor, and the occurrence of treatment-related adverse reactions were observed. Results: Of the 6 patients, 2 were males and 4 were females, with a median age of 21.5 (18-68) years. Refractory TTP was found in 1 case and recurrent TTP in 5 cases. Glucocorticoids were administered with reference to prednisone at 1 mg·kg(-1)·d(-1), and gradually reduced in dosage after achieving clinical remission. Bortezomib is subcutaneously administered at 1.3 mg/m(2) on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 with a 28-day treatment course consisting of 2 courses. Six patients achieved clinical remission after receiving bortezomib as the main treatment. ADMATS13 activity returned to normal in all patients with TTP after treatment, and the ADAMTS13 inhibitor turned negative. Thrombocytopenia is the most common adverse reaction after treatment, with other adverse reactions, including peripheral neuritis and abdominal pain, but ultimately all patients returned to normal. In a median follow-up of 26 (9-41) months, 5 patients maintained sustained remission, and 1 patient relapsed after 16 months of bortezomib treatment. Conclusion: Combination therapy of bortezomib and glucocorticoids has a satisfactory therapeutic effect and controllable adverse reactions for recurrent/refractory iTTP.

Abstract
Background Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a clinically rare thrombotic cardiovascular and microvascular disease. The purpose of this study was to observe the clinical efficacy and safety of plasma exchange in the treatment of TTP. Methods A total of 16 TTP patients who underwent plasma exchange from January 2015 to December 2020 were selected. The clinical data of all patients were collected for retrospective analysis. The effective rate of treatment, the changes of blood cell count before and after treatment, and adverse reactions during treatment were analyzed. Results A total of 50 plasma exchanges were performed in 16 TTP patients. After plasma exchange treatment, there were 4 invalid and 12 improved patients. The total effective rate of plasma exchange in patients with TTP was 75.0%. After treatment, platelet count (PLT) and hemoglobin (Hb) levels were significantly increased in TTP patients. Compared with before treatment, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), indirect bilirubin (IBIL), total bilirubin (TBIL), and broken red blood cells were significantly reduced. In addition, 3 adverse reactions occurred in 50 plasmapheresis procedures, and the incidence of adverse reactions was 6.0%. Conclusion Plasma exchange therapy has a good therapeutic effect on TTP and can significantly improve abnormal blood cell count in patients with high safety.

Abstract
The review discusses approaches to treatment of acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpuгa (aTTP). In patients with aTTP plasma exchanges, glucocorticosteroids allow to stop an acute attack of TTP, and use of rituximab allows to achieve remission. In recent years, caplacizumab has been used. Treatment options such as cyclosporin A, bortezomib, splenectomy, N-acetylcysteine, recombinant ADAMTS13 are also described. Separately discussed issues of management of patients with TTP during pregnancy, and pediatric patients with TTP.
