29 KEY POINTS Rituximab in TTP in suboptimal response : 1. Allows to prevent late-onset responses ( > 1 month) 2. Is not efficient immediately (only after ~ 15 days); does not prevent early deaths 3. Does not systematically prevent late-onset relapses (when B-cell reconstitution occurs) (> 1 year)

30 UNRESOLVED QUESTIONS - Optimal dose and schedule of rituximab administration? Adaptation of rituximab infusions according to residual B-lymphocytes - Evaluation of B-cell repopulation after rituximab? Early CD19 + /CD5 + lymphocytes Memory CD27 + lymphocytes PTTRITUX2 study - Role of a preemptive treatment with rituximab

31 Preemptive treatment with rituximab I. 22 patients received a preemptive treatment with rituximab Median number of episodes of PTT before rituximab : 2 [1-14] Previous treatments : - Vincristine - Splenectomy 4 patients (18%) : > 1 cycle of rituximab: 4 cycles (1 case) at 1,4 y - 3,4 y - 5 y 6,5 y 3 cycles (1 case) at 1,3 y - 5 y - 6 y then CPM 2 cycles (2 case) at 1 y - 2,7 y ; 2,5 y - 4,2 y 18 patients (82%) : 1 unique cycle of rituximab 18 episodes: 4 infusions 11 episodes: 1 to 3 infusions (1/w, 375 mg/m 2 ) ADAMTS13: 81% [0% 113%] at 2 y of treatment [6,3 months 4,4 y] Median follow-up : 3,5 y [3 months 7,5 y] 6 patients with a severe acquired deficiency w/o preemptive treatment: 3/6 relapses No relapse +++ Splenectomy Rituximab Death (relapse)
