An Important Step Forward in ITP: Shreeram Aradhye Shares Ianalumab Phase III Results!
Shreeram Aradhye, President, Development and Chief Medical Officer at Novartis, shared on LinkedIn:
”Today, at the Late-Breaking Abstract Session at the 67th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition, we shared positive results from a Phase III trial in adults with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) previously treated with corticosteroids.
With a course of four once-monthly doses, our investigational therapy studied in this trial offers a promising alternative to chronic treatment.
ITP is a rare autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly destroys platelets, leading to prolonged bleeding, easy bruising and chronic fatigue.
This potential treatment is designed to target B cells, a key driver in ITP and other autoimmune diseases, through a dual mechanism of action.
Today’s results represent an important step forward in ITP and add to the growing body of evidence for this therapy, which is currently being studied across multiple B cell-driven conditions.
Thank you to all the patients, investigators, and teams involved in this research.”
