IMMUNE THROMBOCYTOPENIC PURPURA

This study tested two low-dose rituximab schedules in 100 adults with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), a condition causing low platelet counts and bleeding. The goal was to see which regimen better raises platelets and controls bleeding. Participants had failed or relapsed on stand…

This study looked at whether treating Helicobacter pylori (a common stomach infection) with antibiotics can raise platelet counts in people with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), a condition where the immune system destroys platelets, causing bleeding and bruising. Researchers enrol…

This completed study looked at blood samples from 70 children and adults newly diagnosed with immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), a condition that causes easy bruising and bleeding. Researchers wanted to see if certain immune and blood markers could predict whether the disease…

This study followed 37 adults over age 60 with unexplained low platelet counts to see if certain tests could predict immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Participants had blood tests, bone marrow biopsies, and a short course of the steroid prednisone. The goal was to find which…

This study looked at 33 adults who had both immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) — a condition where the immune system destroys platelets — and cancer. Researchers wanted to see if treating the cancer could also improve ITP. They also investigated whether cancer cells might mimic platel…
