Study Summary

This trial determines the effectiveness of TAK-755 in adults with immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP). Participants take TAK-755 & immunosuppressive therapy for 3 months.

Who is the study for?
Adults diagnosed with iTTP who haven't had more than two plasma exchanges before the study can join. They must be willing to use effective birth control, follow study rules, and give consent. Those with severe allergies to TAK-755 components, recent other investigational treatments, or certain health conditions like unstable HIV cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests TAK-755 in adults with iTTP to see if they can respond clinically without needing plasma exchange. Participants will receive TAK-755 along with immunosuppressive therapy during an acute attack and for up to six weeks after, totaling about three months of study involvement.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of TAK-755 may include allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis due to its ingredients or related proteins from Chinese hamster ovary cells used in its production.
