Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disease resulting in a low platelet count. Treatment of ITP involves the use of immunomodulators and corticosteroids as well as multiple therapies specifically approved for ITP. Thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO–RAs)—orally administered eltrombopag (Novartis’s Promacta / Revolade) and avatrombopag (Sobi’s Doptelet) and subcutaneously administered romiplostim (Amgen’s Nplate)—are key treatments for ITP. Rigel Pharmaceuticals / Grifols’ oral Tavalisse / Tavlesse (fostamatinib), a spleen tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is an option for treatment-refractory or unresponsive chronic ITP. Despite the availability of multiple therapies for ITP, effective treatments are needed for patients who are treatment-refractory or unresponsive to current therapies. Drugs that do not require chronic administration are also needed. Thus, ample commercial opportunity remains for pharmacotherapies with novel mechanisms of action as well as those with curative potential.
