Pivotal Trial
Summary
This trial tests two doses of ianalumab to see if it can help people with ITP whose first treatment didn't work.
Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) who didn't respond well to steroids can join. They must have a low platelet count and be eligible for eltrombopag treatment. People with coagulation disorders, other cytopenias, significant blood diseases, life-threatening bleeding history, or positive HIV/HCV cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing how effective two doses of ianalumab are when added to eltrombopag in prolonging the time before ITP treatment fails after steroid therapy doesn’t work. Participants will either receive ianalumab or a placebo alongside eltrombopag.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions at the injection site for ianalumab, liver function changes due to eltrombopag, and general symptoms like headaches or fatigue. The exact side effects may vary between individuals.
