On the horizon: upcoming new agents for the management of ITP

Abstract Treatment of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) has evolved over the last 20 years in response to our increased understanding of the pathophysiology of this complex immune disorder. New treatments in development have taken advantage of our evolving understanding of the biology of this disease to target new mechanisms and expand the available ways in which to approach patients with this disorder. This review focuses on novel therapeutics in the ITP pipeline and discusses the pathophysiology of ITP that has led to their development.
