Caplacizumab: A game changer also in pregnancy-associated immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura?
Abstract
Therapeutic options in immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) during pregnancy are limited besides therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) and corticosteroids. The report by Odetola et al. suggests that caplacizumab represents a reasonable option in iTTP during pregnancy, especially when the disease is not rapidly controlled with the standard TPE-corticosteroid association. Commentary on: Odetola et al. Safe and effective use of caplacizumab in pregnancy-related acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Br J Haematol 2023;202:879-882.
Keywords: ADAMTS13; caplacizumab; pregnancy-associated immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura; therapeutic plasma exchange.
