Caplacizumab Treatment for Acquired Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
BACKGROUND In acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), an immune‐mediated deficiency of the von Willebrand factor–cleaving protease ADAMTS13 allows unrestrained adhesion of von Willebrand factor multimers to platelets and microthrombosis ...
