Gender: Both
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Intervention(s)
Drug: rituximab
Primary Outcome(s)
To evaluate the kinetics of B-cell depletion by rituximab and its pharmacokinetics in patients treated with rituximab in association with plasma exchanges [Time Frame: at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months]
Secondary Outcome(s)
To evaluate the incidence of persistent severe acquired ADAMTS13 deficiency following treatment with rituximab, as well as the incidence of relapses. [Time Frame: at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months]
To evaluate the tolerance of rituximab, the volume of plasma and the number of plasma exchange sessions required to achieve a durable complete remission, and to determinate the duration of B-cell depletion [Time Frame: at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months]
