Description:
The management of Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) has seen a renaissance in the available therapies and in the approach to patients with the diagnosis in recent years. This has lead to an expanding number of therapeutic options for patients and physicians to consider as they embark on their therapeutic journey with ITP. Dr. Waleed Ghanima will discuss the new approaches incorporating combination strategies in management of patients with ITP including suggestions for when to consider moving beyond mono therapy for ITP. Dr. Annemarie Fogerty will then discuss updates on ITP in pregnancy, a special category of ITP with implications for both maternal and fetal health and provide the most information on both treatments and outcomes. Finally, Dr. Michele Lambert will then describe current clinical trials (or recently completed) and provide information on novel therapeutics that are in development as well as the current treatment gaps where additional study is needed.
