Relapse-free survival is progressively shortened in a subset of Black patients with immune-mediated TTP treated in the rituximab era by Ayotola Fatola, Michael D. Evans, Jenna Brown, Elizabeth Davis, Andrew Johnson, Ana G. Antun, Andrew M. Farland, Ryan Woods, Ara Metjian, Yara A. Park, Gustaaf de Ridder, Briana Gibson, Raj S. Kasthuri, Darla K.

Kocher, Radhika Gangaraju, X. Long Zheng, Jay S. Raval, Camila Masias, Spero R. Cataland, Marshall Mazepa, Shruti Chaturvedi

“…In the prospective cohort, overall RFS progressively shortened after each episode of rituximab treatment with the first episode having the longest RFS (2.8 years; interquartile range, 2.0-6.0) and this loss of response durability was most pronounced in Black patients. The durability of rituximab’s effect declines with subsequent treatments, which is more pronounced in Black patients, who may benefit from closer monitoring and alternative immunomodulatory approaches such as maintenance rituximab and consideration of other agents.…”
