Want to stay up-to-date on the very latest developments in non-malignant haematology? Don't have the time or skills to critically appraise important papers? Join Pip and Rich, two haematology doctors on a journey of learning and discovery. Each episode, they will discuss a seminal trial, critically appraise the paper, interview a study author, and discuss the implications of the trial on clinical practice with a subject expert. CPD credits are available from RCPath. The podcast is sponsored by Sobi as a hands-off educational grant. Sobi have no editorial input whatsoever.
This podcast helps you to go beyond the abstract, delving deep into the methods, results, subanalyses, and implications. Interviews with authors gives a real-life perspective on the running of a clinical trial allowing explanations of why they did what they did and good honest discussion on limitations and how they might do it differently next time.

In this episode, Rich and Pip discuss a paper a German/Austrian study published in Blood: Kühne et al. Management of immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura without therapeutic plasma exchange.
The study is an observational, retrospective study reporting outcomes of patients with TTP who were treated without plasma exchange, which is currently considered the standard of care. The advent of a novel nanobody against vWF called caplacizumab, that targets and prevents catastrophic thrombosis that is seen in TTP, has allowed the study of this approach. Rich and Pip discuss the nuances of the paper and offer critical analysis.
In a follow-up episode, Rich and Pip will interview the study authors.
