A Study of TAK-755 (rADAMTS13) With Little to No Plasma Exchange (PEX) Treatment in Adults With Immune-mediated Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (iTTP)

This is a study of TAK-755 in adults with immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP). The main aim of this study is to determine the percentage of participants with a clinical (Part 1) or platelet (Part 2) response without plasma exchange during the study. Participants who have an acute attack of iTTP will receive TAK-755 and immunosuppressive therapy during their stay at the hospital until they achieve a clinical response in Part 1 or platelet response in Part 2. Participants will also be treated with TAK-755 for an additional time of up to 6 weeks after the acute phase. In total, participants will stay in the study for approximately 3 months.

About this study

This study consists of 2-parts. Part 1 is a double-blind, randomized study in which participants were randomized 1:1, in a blinded fashion, into 2 TAK-755 dose groups. Part 1, randomization was stratified based on whether the participant had received pre-study PEX and on the participant's Glasgow Coma Scale. Part 2 is an open-label study in which participants with iTTP experiencing an acute iTTP episode will be enrolled and assigned to a single-arm treatment.

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and Adverse Event of Special Interest (AESIs) After Receiving any Dose of Investigational Product (IP)

    Time frame: Through study completion, approximately 12 weeks

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (e.g., a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. SAE: Signs, symptoms or outcomes which results in death, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, results in a congenital abnormality/birth defect, or is an important medical event. Adverse events of special interest include major thrombotic events and treatment-related bleeding events.
