Summary

This study looks at whether adding rituximab to the standard drug eltrombopag helps adults with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) who haven't responded well to past treatments. About 224 participants will be randomly assigned to get either eltrombopag alone or eltrombopag plus rituximab. The main goal is to see if more people reach a safe platelet count by weeks 4, 8, and 12.
