• Participants currently or less than 28 days prior to enrollment in this study, enrolled in a clinical study with another investigational drug or device

• Clinical condition other than that associated with TTP, with life expectancy < 6 months, such as end-stage malignancy

• Sensitivity to any of the study interventions, or components thereof, or drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the Investigator, contraindicates participation in the study
