    aTTP-related events were defined as: aTTP-related death, recurrence of aTTP (defined as recurrent thrombocytopenia requiring initiation of daily PE) or at least one major thromboembolic event (e.g., myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, pulmonary embolism, or deep venous thrombosis). Percentage of participants with at least one aTTP-related events during the study were reported in this outcome measure.

    Time frame: From Baseline up to 36 months

    aTTP-related events were defined as: aTTP-related death, recurrence of aTTP (defined as recurrent thrombocytopenia requiring initiation of daily PE) or at least one major thromboembolic event (e.g., myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, pulmonary embolism or deep venous thrombosis).

  3. Time to First Acquired Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura-related Events

    Time frame: From Baseline up to 36 months
