Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) § ITP is characterized by immune-mediated platelet destruction and impairment of platelet production, leading to thrombocytopenia, a predisposition to bleeding, and adverse impact on patient quality of life (QOL) § Current therapies for adults with ITP include − Initial: IVIG, corticosteroids (CS) − Subsequent: splenectomy, thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs), rituximab, fostamatinib, and other immunosuppressive therapies (MMF, cyclosporine) § Unmet needs in relapsed or refractory ITP − Improved remission rates and durability − Avoid rapid increase of platelet counts/thrombosis risk − Steroid-free regimens − A tolerable and safe therapy that ensures good patient QOL IVIG, intravenous immune globulin; MMF, mycophenolate mofetil. 2 1.
