00:00 Intro

00:52 Why is it important for physicians to have some understanding about TTP?

04:26 What’s new in this immune TTP area?

08:57 If you have a new patient show up, you do caplacizumab and plasma exchange together or are there certain patient populations, like certain characteristics who would or would not get this medication? 

11:29 I was wondering if you could elaborate a little bit more about these chronic complications?

16:32 Do you think there is a role for repeat testing of ADAMTS13 on these patients in chronic phase, or is that an area that is unknown at this point?

18:53 What do you see on the horizon, what do you think the future looks like for TTP?

21:36 Outro
