Pivotal Trial
Summary
This trial studies two doses of ianalumab to see if they can help maintain platelet counts in adults with primary ITP.
Who is the study for?
Adults diagnosed with primary ITP within the last 3 months, having a platelet count below 30 G/L before treatment, and who've responded to corticosteroids can join. Excluded are those with other blood disorders, neutrophil counts below 1.0 G/L, life-threatening bleeding, previous ITP treatments (other than specific first-line therapies), or use of B-cell depleting therapy.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing two doses of Ianalumab versus a placebo in combination with corticosteroids to see if they help maintain platelet counts above 30 G/L in adults with primary ITP. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Ianalumab or a placebo.
What are the potential side effects?
Ianalumab may cause side effects such as infections due to immune system suppression, infusion reactions similar to allergic responses, fatigue, headaches and potentially impact liver function. Corticosteroids can also have multiple side effects like increased appetite, mood changes and higher blood sugar levels.
