Summary

This Phase 3 trial tested an oral drug called HMPL-523 (sovleplenib) in 272 adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), a condition where the immune system destroys platelets, causing bleeding risks. Participants who had not responded well to prior treatments received either the drug or a placebo daily for 24 weeks. The study measured whether platelet counts could be raised and maintained at safe levels.
