Wolfgang Miesbach: Beyond Immunosuppression – Two new ways to treat ITP
Wolfgang Miesbach, Professor of Medicine at Frankfurt University Hospital, shared on LinkedIn:
“Beyond Immunosuppression: Two new ways to treat ITP. David Kuter gave a great presentation at ASH 2025:
- Increase Platelet Production
The latest TPO receptor agonist, hetrombopag, now in Phase 3 trials, offers a direct pathway to boost platelet synthesis—moving away from suppression toward restoration. - Decrease Platelet Destruction
A diverse arsenal of targeted therapies can redefineour strategy:
– Anti-CD38 antibodies (daratumumab, mezagitamab)
– BAFF/BAFF-R inhibitors
– FcRn inhibitors (efgartigimod)
– BTK inhibitors (rilzabrutinib, orelabrutinib)
– Complement inhibitors + immunomodulatory approaches
– T-cell engagers and CAR-T therapies
ITP is now recognized as a disorder of both reduced production AND increased destruction—this understanding drives treatment selection toward complete remission, not just disease suppression.”
