New hope for ITP patients: experimental drug aims to boost platelet counts

NCT ID NCT05885555

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study tests an experimental drug called ianalumab in 41 adults with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), a condition where the immune system destroys platelets, causing bleeding risks. Participants have already tried steroids and another drug (TPO-RA) without lasting success. The main goal is to see if ianalumab can safely raise platelet counts to a safe level. This is a phase 2 trial, meaning it checks both effectiveness and safety before larger studies.
