WHAT CABLIVI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Cablivi contains the active substance caplacizumab. It is used to
treat an episode of
ACQUIRED
THROMBOTIC THROMBOCYTOPENIC PURPURA
in adults and adolescents of 12 years of age and older
weighing at least 40 kg. This is a rare blood clotting disorder in
which clots form in small blood
vessels. These clots can block blood vessels and damage the brain,
heart, kidneys, or other organs.
Cablivi prevents the formation of these blood clots by stopping
platelets in the blood from clumping
together. By doing so, Cablivi reduces the risk of experiencing
another episode of aTTP soon after the
first.

THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS

years of age and older weighing
at least 40 kg experiencing an episode of acquired thrombotic
thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP), in
conjunction with plasma exchange and immunosuppression.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Treatment with Cablivi should be initiated and supervised by
physicians experienced in the
management of patients with thrombotic microangiopathies.
Posology
_First dose _
_ _
Intravenous injection of 10 mg of caplacizumab prior to plasma
exchange.
_Subsequent doses _
Daily subcutaneous administration of 10 mg of caplacizumab after
completion of each plasma
exchange for the duration of daily plasma exchange treatment, followed
by daily subcutaneous
injection of 10 mg of caplacizumab for 30 days after stopping daily
plasma exchange treatment.
If at the end of this period there is evidence of unresolved
immunological disease, it is recommended
to optimise the immunosuppression regimen and continue daily
subcutaneous administration of 10 mg
of caplacizumab until the signs of underlying immunological disease
are resolved (e.g. sustained
normalisation of ADAMTS13 activity level).
