Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Immune thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune condition delineated by humoral as well as cell mediated immune response against thrombocyte surface proteins GPIIb/IIIa receptors, affecting primary homeostasis leading to mucocutaneous bleeding.ITP is characterized by platelet count \<100 x 109/L. The conventional line of treatment for newly diagnosed ITP is steroids but significant disadvantages have been associated with long term use and a high risk of relapse when reducing the dose. The addition of MMF to the first line treatment of ITP resulted in substantial response and a lower risk of refractory ITP with decreased financial burden and improved outcome.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP) is an acquired, immune-mediated disorder characterized by a severe decrease in peripheral thrombocyte count to less than 100 x 10⁹/L, leading to mucocutaneous bleeding. Our primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of adding Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) alongside steroids in the first-line treatment of ITP, aiming for an enhanced therapeutic response, lower risk of refractory and chronic ITP, reduced financial burden, and improved overall outcomes.

The study aims to validate the efficacy and safety of MMF as a first-line treatment option for ITP while reducing the economic burden and risk of relapse associated with the condition

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) Treatment

Patients in this arm will receive Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) at a starting dose of 500mg twice daily along with Prednisolone.

The pediatric dose of MMF will be calculated by 30mg/kg/day. Dose adjustment will be based on treatment response, with potential increases to 750mg twice daily or 1g twice daily.

MMF will be administered for a specific duration, as determined by the study design.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) Treatment

Intervention Type DRUG

The first-line treatment of immune thrombocytopenia purpura with Mycophenolate Mofetil produced a significant response, a lowered likelihood of refractory ITP, a better outcome, and less financial burden.

Standard Treatment Control

Patients in this arm will receive the standard treatment for ITP, which may include corticosteroids (prednisolone) commonly used for ITP management.The treatment regimen will be determined based on current standard guidelines and clinical practice.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
