Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Improvement in Systemic TMA & Vital Organ Involvement at 8 weeks of treatment defined as either complete or partial responder based on hematologic normalization/improvement & clinically important improvement in Vital Organs: Brain, Kidney, and Thrombosis [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Analysis of primary endpoint will occur after all patients have reached 8 weeks of treatment. The response rate will be summarized as patients who are either a complete or partial responder.
