Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Signed informed consent prior to participation in the study. Male or female participants aged 18 years and older on the day of signing informed consent Primary ITP diagnosed within 3 months before initiating first-line ITP therapy (corticosteroids, IVIG) Platelet count below 30 G/L before starting any first-line ITP therapy (corticosteroids, IVIG) Response (platelet count less than or equal to 50 G/L) to corticosteroids (+/- IVIG) at any time prior to randomization.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Evans syndrome or any other cytopenia, Current life-threatening bleeding, Previous ITP treatment, including splenectomy, except for corticosteroids and/or IVIG for up to 28 days before randomization, Prior use of B-cell depleting therapy (e.g., rituximab). Absolute neutrophil count below 1.0 G/L at randomization, Participants with concurrent coagulation disorders and/or receiving anti-platelet or anticoagulant medication with an exemption of low dose of acetylsalicylic acid

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To demonstrate that the addition of ianalumab (either dose) to standard first-line corticosteroids prolongs Time to Treatment Failure (TTF) compared to corticosteroids alone in participants with primary ITP who responded to corticosteroids (+/-IVIG) prior to randomization. Timepoint: Time from randomization to Treatment Failure (TTF) defined as platelet count below 30 G/L later than 8 weeks from randomization, need for a rescue treatment later than 8 weeks from randomization, start of a second-line therapy or death, (whatever the cause)
