Narsoplimab Results in Excellent Survival in Adults and Children With Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Associated Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TA‐TMA)

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 100, Issue 11, Page 2040-2051, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Inappropriate complement activation is a key driver of hematopoietic cell transplant‐associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA‐TMA). Treatment with narsoplimab, an inhibitor of MASP‐2, the effector enzyme of the lectin pathway, resulted in a response rate of 61% in a Phase 2 clinical trial in adults with TA‐TMA.
