Answering TTP Foundation had committed almost $2 million to research grants through 2021 thanks to our grass-roots fundraising campaigns like International TTP Day. The 2019 research competition attracted research proposals from North America and Europe. Proposals were peer reviewed by other TTP researchers and physicians. The winner was selected based on scientific merit.

The Ohio State University TTP/aHUS face-to-face meeting was made available to non-local participants to join virtually. On Wednesday November 7th, Dr. Cataland presented a great layman explanation about the role of the ADAMTS13 enzyme in TTP. In addition, he thoughtfully answered questions from both the face-to-face and virtual audiences about TTP triggers, treatments, side effects and more. On an exciting note, he explained the role of a new drug called caplacizumab.
