First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026

Summary

This study looks at children with immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) who also have certain antibodies, as they are at higher risk of developing lupus. Researchers will analyze blood samples to track immune cell changes and markers that may signal the transition to lupus. The goal is to better understand how lupus begins and find ways to prevent it in the future.
