International Working Group on TTP

Advancing TTP science through global collaboration.

IWG TTP brings together clinicians, investigators, and collaborators worldwide to advance research, strengthen scientific consensus, and improve the shared understanding of immune-mediated and congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.

What we do

International expertise focused on shared scientific priorities.

IWG TTP is designed to move international collaboration forward efficiently—bringing together the people, expertise, and scientific priorities needed to address challenges that are difficult to solve within any single country or institution.

01 / Research

Collaborative Research

Develop and support international studies and project teams focused on high-impact, feasible questions in TTP and related TMAs.

02 / Consensus

Scientific Consensus

Bring experts together to refine terminology, outcomes, definitions, and other scientific frameworks that strengthen research and clinical communication.

03 / Exchange

Education & Exchange

Create settings where clinicians and investigators can discuss emerging evidence, practical challenges, and new scientific questions.

04 / Community

Global Collaboration

Connect investigators, institutions, registries, professional societies, and advocacy organizations across an international network.

Scientific priorities

Current scientific priorities.

The 2026–2027 scientific agenda includes terminology and outcome definitions, congenital TTP, recombinant ADAMTS13 surveillance, evolving iTTP treatment strategies, and collaborative studies and publications.

TTP terminology and outcome definitions

Building on prior international consensus work to keep definitions meaningful as treatments, monitoring, and clinical practice evolve.

Congenital TTP and recombinant ADAMTS13

Discussing event definitions, long-term manifestations, surveillance approaches, and emerging scientific questions around recombinant ADAMTS13.

Evolving iTTP treatment strategies

Examining how new therapies and plasma-exchange-sparing strategies affect treatment pathways, outcomes, and future guidance.

Collaborative studies and publications

Creating a practical pathway for member-proposed projects, investigator-led working groups, publications, and future proceedings.

Scientific work in development: Topics discussed by IWG TTP working groups are not final clinical guidance unless formally approved and published by the organization.
