    Abstract Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare and potentially fatal condition, with >90% mortality if untreated; deficiency of ADAMTS13 leads to widespread microvascular thromboses and organ injury particularly affecting organs with high shear stress, including the brain. The acute neurological complications have historically been those most feared by clinicians and synonymous with a poor prognosis. TTP, however, is no longer perceived as two extremes of acute presentation and remission, rather once diagnosed a chronic condition with the potential for a long-term symptom burden. Optimal neuroimaging timing and modality lacks consensus and as we learn more about the changes seen during the acute and chronic stages of TTP, there is scope for neuroimaging to play a greater role in guiding management and the secondary prevention of vascular disease. Reduced ADAMTS13 activity levels have been associated with increased thrombotic risk and novel therapies including caplacizumab and recombinant ADAMTS13 may offer a neuroprotective role. Given the increasing evidence of the neurocognitive and psychological disease in TTP, the importance of screening and timely intervention should not be underestimated. As more patients are surviving their initial TTP presentation, it is crucial for us to develop a greater understanding of the longer-term morbidity affecting these patients.

    Abstract An elevated risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) following a first dose of the ChAdOx1 adenovirus-vectored vaccine was found in a national epidemiological study in England using routine discharge diagnosis codes. Separately, the syndrome of vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) was identified using haematological criteria based on presence of thrombocytopenia, significantly elevated D-dimers and development of anti-PF4 antibodies. To re-evaluate risk estimates using haematological criteria, we obtained the haematology results for hospital admitted patients aged 18–64 years in 43 National Health Service trusts in England who were included in the national epidemiological study. Diagnoses were confirmed and haematological parameters obtained from local records without knowledge of vaccination status. The haematological parameters in patients admitted for a confirmed VTE following ChAdOx1 or BNT162b2 mRNA vaccination were then compared with those in a randomly selected 40% sample of unvaccinated patients with VTE. Overall, 12 (14%) of the 84 vaccinated cases had a diagnosis compatible with VITT, 11 after a first dose of ChAdOx1 and one after a first dose of BNT162b2. Thrombocytopenia (platelet count <150 × 10⁹/L) occurred in 17 vaccinated (20%) and 4 (4%) of 108 unvaccinated patients, with all 6 cases of severe thrombocytopenia (<50 × 10⁹/L) occurring within 42 days of a first dose of ChAdOx1. The attributable risk estimates for a cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) or other VTE with thrombocytopenia after a first dose of ChAdOx1 vaccine were 2.82 and 9.62 per million doses respectively. However, elevated risks were also found after a first dose of ChAdOx1 for VTE without thrombocytopenia with relative incidences for CVT and other VTE of 2.67 (1.77–3.77) and 1.93 (1.57–2.35) respectively. While we identified a distinct population with features of VITT within 42 days of receiving ChAdOx1 vaccination, confirming current diagnostic criteria, we also found evidence of an increased risk of a VTE without thrombocytopenia after ChAdOx1 vaccine.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has been the most significant health crisis in recent global history. Early studies from Wuhan highlighted COVID-19-associated coagulopathy and a significant association with mortality was soon recognised. As research continues across the world, more evidence is emerging of the cross-talk between the innate immune system, coagulation activation and inflammation. Immunothrombosis has been demonstrated to play a key role in the pathophysiology of severe COVID-19, with extracellular histones and neutrophil extracellular traps detected in the plasma and cardiopulmonary tissues of critically ill patients. Targeting the components of immunothrombosis is becoming an important factor in the treatment of patients with COVID-19 infection. Recent studies report outcomes of intermediate and therapeutic anticoagulation in hospitalised patients with varying severities of COVID-19 disease, including optimal dosing and associated bleeding risks. Immunomodulatory therapies, including corticosteroids and IL-6 receptor antagonists, have been demonstrated to significantly reduce mortality in COVID-19 patients. As the pandemic continues, more studies are required to understand the driving factors and upstream mechanisms for coagulopathy and immunothrombosis in COVID-19, and thus potentially develop more targeted therapies for SARS-CoV-2 infection, both in the acute phase and in those who develop longer-term symptom burden.

    Abstract Background: Adenoviral vector-based COVID-19 vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) is rare but carries significant risks of mortality and long-term morbidity. The underlying pathophysiology of severe disease is still not fully understood. The objectives were to explore the pathophysiological profile and examine for clinically informative biomarkers in patients with severe VITT.
    Methods: Twenty-two hospitalized patients with VITT, 9 pre- and 21 post-ChAdOx1 vaccine controls, were recruited across England, United Kingdom. Admission blood samples were analyzed for cytokine profiles, cell death markers (lactate dehydrogenase and circulating histones), neutrophil extracellular traps, and coagulation parameters. Tissue specimens from deceased patients were analyzed.
    Results: There were strong immune responses characterized by significant elevations in proinflammatory cytokines and T helper 1 and 2 cell activation in patients with VITT. Markers of systemic endothelial activation and coagulation activation in both circulation and organ sections were also significantly elevated. About 70% (n = 15/22) of patients met the International Society for Thrombosis and Haemostasis criteria for disseminated intravascular coagulation despite negligible changes in the prothrombin time. The increased neutrophil extracellular trap formation, in conjunction with marked lymphopenia, elevated lactate dehydrogenase, and circulating histone levels, indicates systemic immune cell injury or death. Both lymphopenia and circulating histone levels independently predicted 28-day mortality in patients with VITT.
    Conclusion: The coupling of systemic cell damage and death with strong immune-inflammatory and coagulant responses are pathophysiologically dominant and clinically relevant in severe VITT.

    Abstract The cornerstone of life-saving therapy in immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) has been plasma exchange (PEX) combined with immunomodulatory strategies. Caplacizumab, a novel anti-von Willebrand factor nanobody trialed in 2 multicenter randomized controlled trials (RCTs) leading to European Union and US Food and Drug Administration approval, has been available in the United Kingdom (UK) through a patient access scheme. Data were collected retrospectively from 2018 to 2020 for 85 patients (4 children) receiving caplacizumab from 22 UK hospitals. Patient characteristics and outcomes in the real-world clinical setting were compared with caplacizumab trial end points and historical outcomes in the precaplacizumab era. Eighty-four of 85 patients received steroid and rituximab alongside PEX; 26% required intubation. Median time to platelet count normalization (3 days), duration of PEX (7 days), and hospital stay (12 days) were comparable with RCT data. Median duration of PEX and time from PEX initiation to platelet count normalization were favorable compared with historical outcomes (P < .05). Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) recurred in 5 of 85 patients; all had persistent ADAMTS13 activity < 5 IU/dL. Of 31 adverse events in 26 patients, 17 of 31 (55%) were bleeding episodes, and 5 of 31 (16%) were thrombotic events (2 unrelated to caplacizumab); mortality was 6% (5/85), with no deaths attributed to caplacizumab. In 4 of 5 deaths, caplacizumab was introduced >48 hours after PEX initiation (3-21 days). This real-world evidence represents the first and largest series of TTP patients, including pediatric patients, receiving caplacizumab outside of clinical trials. Representative of true clinical practice, the findings provide valuable information for clinicians treating TTP globally.
