TPA
Question: I believe there is an immunosuppressive drug that uses the acronym "TPA". Can you please advise the full name of the drug, if it has a HCPCS code assigned, and if so, what is it?

Answer: TPA usually refers to a drug used to dissolve clots in heart attacks, phlebitis, etc... I’m not aware of a cancer drug called TPA.
