| Caplacizumab Phase III Trial (HERCULES) | The study is a phase III, double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of caplacizumab treatment. "Conclusions: Among patients with TTP, treatment with caplacizumab was associated with faster normalization of the platelet count; a lower incidence of a composite of TTP-related death, recurrence of TTP, or a thromboembolic event during the treatment period; and a lower rate of recurrence of TTP during the trial than placebo." |
