Summary

This phase 2 study tests whether combining orelabrutinib (a targeted drug) with romiplostim (a platelet booster) can improve platelet counts in adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) who haven't responded well to standard treatments. About 28 participants will receive the combo for 24 weeks, with follow-up to 56 weeks. The goal is to see if this approach leads to more stable platelet levels and longer remission without rescue therapy.
