Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients presenting with an acute episode of Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) will be asked to consent for the registry once in remission. However, for those sites undertaking ADAMTS13 analysis, consent for admission and remission samples for TTP cases will be requested. A screening log of all cases analysed will be kept by sites and forwarded at 3 monthly intervals. This will help identify other non-TTP causes for ADAMTS13 analysis.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with a clinical diagnosis of TTP, defined by thrombocytopenia, MAHA which may be associated with clinical evidence of organ compromise.Confirmed by severely reduced ADAMTS13 levels and/or a positive antibody screen.
  • No age restriction.
  • Consent for addition to the Registry and collection/storage of admission information once in remission.
  • Consent to collect, analyse and store EDTA sample once in remission.
  • Consent to store samples once in remission (sample taken as part of standard care).
  • For sites undertaking ADAMTS13 analysis, consent to send admission and remission samples for analysis relating to TTP.
  • Follow up laboratory and clinical data at least yearly to identify any changes.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with cancer or transplant associated MAHA will not be included.
  • Patients not wishing to be involved with the registry.

About this study

Official title: The United Kingdom Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Registry

This is a UK (United Kingdom) based registry, involving all sites treating newly presenting Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP). From this registry, important epidemiological data will be obtained. Admission and remission samples will be collected. DNA will be collected and analysed from patients wishing to participate to determine if any link exists between mutations/polymorphisms and the risk of TTP. As part of NHS commissioning, we will be undertaking long term follow up, to understand the impact of acute TTP on morbidity and mortality.

Read the detailed description

The UK TTP registry started in January 2009, following 3 years MRC funding, involving UK collaboration from all sites treating TTP patients. It has resulted in a cohort of data and samples from UK TTP cases. The registry promotes a collaborative approach with all UK patients and physicians involved with this life threatening disorder. The UK TTP registry has been used to provide information for highly specialist commissioning via NHS England and moving forward will be required to provide data relevant to the UK TTP Group and commissioners.

University College London (UCL) Haemostasis Research Unit (HRU) will collect and collate the data and help administrate for those sites participating in the registry. However, ADAMTS13 assays will no longer be subsidised. For those sites undertaking local assays, a record of cases will be shared centrally. The UK TTP registry will be part of the UK TTP Group.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of TTP - Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, run by University College, London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact I Obu (0207 679 6428, uclh.ttp@nhs.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

TTP incidence (time frame: At study completion, approximately in 2023). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Feb 2019.
