Efficacy and Safety of Glucocorticoids Combined With Recombinant Human Thrombopoietin (rhTPO) Sequential Eltrombopag Olamine for Severe Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) in Adults

To address the clinical need for improving early response rates, maintaining sustained responses, reducing relapse rates, and minimizing adverse events in the treatment of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), the investigators developed a comprehensive in-hospital and post-discharge management strategy. In this study, hospitalized participants will receive a 14-day regimen of high-dose dexamethasone (HD-DXM) plus recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO), followed by a 10-week course of oral eltrombopag olamine dry suspension after discharge. The investigators aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this sequential treatment strategy in adult ITP patients.

Aplastic anemia is a bone marrow failure disorder marked by cytopenias that impair oxygen delivery, immune defense, and hemostasis. Standard therapy traditionally combines immunosuppression with or without hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and more recently incorporates thrombopoietin receptor agonists to stimulate residual hematopoiesis. Eltrombopag improved outcomes when added to immunosuppressive therapy, but its association with hepatotoxicity limits its suitability for patients with underlying liver disease or elevated baseline liver enzymes. Avatrombopag is a newer oral thrombopoietin receptor agonist that does not require dietary restrictions and does not undergo significant hepatic metabolism, which offers a potential therapeutic advantage in settings where liver function is compromised. This review evaluated ten clinical studies published from 2023 to October 2025 that investigated avatrombopag in acquired aplastic anemia across varied patient populations, including treatment-naive, relapsed or refractory cases, older adults, and patients with secondary aplastic anemia related to chemoradiation. Across these studies, overall response rates ranged from 55% to 85%, and complete response rates reached up to one-third of treated patients. Response onset typically occurred within 1–2 months, which aligns with clinical decision timelines for assessing therapeutic benefit. Avatrombopag supported reductions in transfusion requirements and sustained hematologic improvement in both severe and non-severe disease. Patients previously intolerant or non-responsive to eltrombopag also demonstrated clinical improvement, which suggests pharmacologic differences translate into meaningful therapeutic effects. Importantly, avatrombopag demonstrated a favorable safety profile in all reviewed settings. Reports did not identify clinically relevant hepatotoxicity, clonal evolution, or treatment-limiting adverse effects. Its tolerability in patients with liver dysfunction distinguishes it from earlier agents in this drug class. Ongoing trials will clarify optimal dosing strategies and define its future role within first-line therapy and salvage treatment pathways for aplastic anemia.

American Society of Hematology, Dec. 6 to 9

The annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology was held from Dec. 6 to 9 in Orlando, Florida, and attracted participants from around the world, including hematology specialists as well as clinical practitioners and other health care professionals. The conference featured presentations focusing on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders affecting blood, bone marrow, and the immunologic, hemostatic, and vascular systems. In the phase 3 GIMEMA ALL2820 trial, Sabina Chiaretti, M.D., Ph.D., of Sapienza University in Rome, and colleagues found a chemo-free targeted/immunotherapy-based approach to be significantly beneficial for patients with newly diagnosed Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and found that it outperformed a tyrosine kinase inhibitor/chemotherapy-based backbone. The authors conducted a randomized trial (2:1 ratio in favor of the chemo-free arm) designed for newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL patients (older than 18 years; no upper age limit), in which the chemo-free arm was based on induction with ponatinib (45 or 30 mg daily, depending on age) followed by at least two cycles of intravenous blinatumomab (maximum, five cycles). The control arm was based on the administration of imatinib and chemotherapy (again, dose adjusted according to age). A crossover was allowed from the control to the experimental arm in the case of molecular residual disease persistence or development of ABL1 mutations. The researchers observed a significant advantage of the experimental arm over the control arm, with hematologic responses at the end of induction being 94.3 and 79.4 percent, respectively, while death was 2.5 and 10.2 percent, respectively, and off-treatment was 2.8 and 8.9 percent, respectively. In line with the findings, molecular responses after consolidation (two cycles of blinatumomab/four to six cycles of chemotherapy) were significantly better in the experimental arm (70.9 versus 48.7 percent); relapses occurred slightly less frequently in the experimental arm (6 versus 8 percent). Treatment was well tolerated overall. Event-free survival was 90 and 74 percent and overall survival was 94 and 77 percent in the experimental and control arms, respectively. Notably, patients undergoing crossover had an overall survival of 97 percent. "These findings should be regarded as clinical practice-changing. Nonetheless, most countries do not have access to blinatumomab in the first-line setting," Chiaretti said. "Thus, there is a strong wish that these results will lead to blinatumomab approval, not only for patients enrolled in the clinical trials, but for all patients." Several authors disclosed ties to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, including Amgen (blinatumomab) and Takeda (ponatinib). Abstract No. 439 In the phase 3 VAYHIT2 study, Hanny Al-Samkari, M.D., of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, and colleagues found that a monoclonal antibody that inhibits the B-cell activating factor receptor ianalumab improves outcomes among patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) previously treated with corticosteroids. The investigators randomly assigned (1:1:1) 152 patients with primary ITP to receive eltrombopag plus either ianalumab 9 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg or placebo. The primary end point was time to treatment failure (TTF), and the key secondary end point was stable response at six months (SR6). The researchers found that TTF was significantly longer with ianalumab 9 mg/kg and ianalumab 3 mg/kg when compared with placebo. Significantly more patients achieved SR6 with ianalumab 9 mg/kg compared with placebo. Furthermore, response and complete response rates were significantly higher with ianalumab 9 mg/kg. "Ianalumab in combination with eltrombopag prolonged TTF, improved SR6, reduced fatigue, facilitated tapering off eltrombopag, and delayed need for subsequent therapy in patients with primary ITP previously treated with corticosteroids," the authors write. "Ianalumab was well tolerated, with no observed increase in infection risk relative to placebo. Ianalumab may be disease-modifying when used early in the course of ITP." Several authors disclosed ties to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, including Novartis, the manufacturer of ianalumab. Abstract No. LBA-2 In a phase 3 study, Wojciech Jurczak, M.D., Ph.D., of the National Research Institute of Oncology in Krakow, Poland, and colleagues found that the noncovalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor pirtobrutinib improves outcomes among patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL). The authors assessed the efficacy and safety of pirtobrutinib compared with bendamustine plus rituximab (BR) in patients with CLL/SLL who had not undergone treatment. For the study, 282 patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either pirtobrutinib monotherapy or six cycles of BR. The researchers found that independent review committee progression-free survival (the primary end point) was significantly improved with pirtobrutinib compared with BR. Pirtobrutinib was found to be well tolerated. Specifically, the investigators identified only low discontinuation rates and the presence of atrial fibrillation/flutter. "While overall survival data remained immature, a notable trend favoring pirtobrutinib was observed, despite 52.9 percent of BR patients crossing over to receive pirtobrutinib after disease progression," the authors write. "Taken together, these data suggest that pirtobrutinib may be considered a potential new standard-of-care treatment for patients with untreated CLL/SLL, including older patients who may receive only one line of therapy." Several authors disclosed ties to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, including Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of pirtobrutinib.

Experimental Drug, Ianalumab, Provides Lasting Relief For Bleeding Condition

FRIDAY, Dec. 12, 2025 — More than half of people with a rare life-threatening bleeding condition received lasting relief from an experimental antibody treatment, clinical trial results show. Ianalumab, a monoclonal antibody, helped patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) maintain safe platelet counts without serious bleeding episodes for at least a year, according to results published Dec. 9 in The New England Journal of Medicine . The drug achieved that after four monthly doses, researchers reported. “This study shows that prolonged, durable responses to ITP treatment, without the need for ongoing therapy, are possible — and that’s a huge advantage for patients,” lead researcher Dr. Adam Cuker , clinical director of the University of Pennsylvania Blood Disorders Center, said in a news release. ITP is an autoimmune disease that causes the body’s immune cells to attack platelets, the blood cells responsible for clotting, researchers said in background notes. It affects about 50,000 people in the U.S. The disease causes abnormal bleeding from the skin and mucous membranes, including nosebleeds, gum bleeding and heavy menstruation. Patients might also suffer from easy bruising and fatigue. ITP patients who develop low platelet counts or suffer severe bleeding initially are treated with steroids, researchers said. After that, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved three drugs for ITP, but all require that people take daily pills or weekly injections for the rest of their lives. “As a hematologist, I’m glad that we have effective therapies for ITP, but they’re not necessarily ideal for chronic disease management or long-term quality of life,” Cuker said. Ianalumab works by targeting the immune cells that generate platelet-attacking antibodies, researchers said. For the new trial, researchers recruited 152 people with ITP and randomly assigned them to one of three groups. The first two groups got either a high or low dose of ianalumab, while the third group received a placebo. The patients received their doses once a month for four months. Everyone also received eltrombopag , a drug that spurs platelet production, for up to four months. Results showed that 54% of people who got a higher dose of ianalumab and nearly 51% of those who got the lower dose were likely to maintain normal platelet counts for a year, compared to only 30% of those receiving a placebo. When platelet counts were measured at six months — two months after the last dose of ianalumab — 62% of the high-dose patients had stable platelet counts, versus 39% in the placebo arm. Additional clinical trials for ianalumab are ongoing, including studies of other autoimmune disorders, researchers said. Researchers will continue to follow the patients from this trial to track their long-term response. "We’re looking forward to seeing if the treatment-free responses in this study extend out even further,” Cuker said. “Improving the long-term reality of living with ITP is not something we’ve been able to think about before. The goal has always been to improve platelet counts or reduce the risk of bleeding, but this research is ushering in a new era of hope for patients with ITP.” Ianalumab is not yet FDA-approved for patients, researchers noted. Novartis , the developer of ianalumab, funded the clinical trial. Sources University of Pennsylvania, news release, Dec. 9, 2025

Novartis ianalumab significantly extends disease control in patients with immune thrombocytopenia with only four once-monthly doses

Ianalumab (9 mg/kg) plus eltrombopag extended ITP disease control by 45% with patients maintaining disease control 2.8 times longer than with placebo plus eltrombopag1,2 62% of patients treated with ianalumab plus eltrombopag achieved sustained platelet response at six months compared to 39% with placebo plus eltrombopag1,2Ianalumab, administered as four once-monthly intravenous doses in the ITP setting, has the potential to reduce the need for chronic treatment and deliver durable disease control in ITPNovartis plans to submit VAYHIT2 data from second-line ITP with results from ongoing first-line ITP trial, VAYHIT1, to health authorities in 2027 Basel, December 9, 2025 – Novartis today announced positive results from VAYHIT2, a Phase III trial evaluating ianalumab plus eltrombopag in patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) previously treated with corticosteroids1-3. Ianalumab (9 mg/kg) plus eltrombopag extended ITP disease control by 45%, based on the primary endpoint of time to treatment failure (TTF), which assesses how long patients maintain safe platelet levels during and after the treatment period1,2. The median time to treatment failure for patients receiving ianalumab plus eltrombopag was 2.8 times longer than those on placebo plus eltrombopag (13.0 months vs. 4.7 months)1,2.Detailed data will be presented during the Late-Breaking Abstract Session at the 67th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting & Exposition (ASH) and simultaneously published in The New England Journal of Medicine1,2.“Treatments for ITP have historically focused on raising platelet counts, often requiring chronic therapy to control ITP. This means many patients remain on treatment long-term, facing persistent disease burden and symptoms like fatigue,” said Hanny Al-Samkari, M.D., Peggy S. Blitz Endowed Chair in Hematology/Oncology, Mass General Brigham, and Associate Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School. “The VAYHIT2 trial results are encouraging, as they demonstrated improved disease control even while patients spend time off treatment, pointing toward possible progress for people living with ITP.”Patients receiving ianalumab (9 mg/kg) plus eltrombopag also achieved a significantly higher rate of sustained platelet count improvement at six months versus placebo plus eltrombopag (62% vs. 39%), meeting the key secondary endpoint1,2. Fatigue improvement, as measured by PROMIS Fatigue, showed a mean reduction of 7.7 points with ianalumab plus eltrombopag versus 3.6 points with placebo plus eltrombopag1,2.“B cells drive the autoimmune response that leads to platelet destruction and increased bleeding risk in ITP. The novel dual mechanism of action of ianalumab aims to deplete B cells while blocking their survival signals,” said Mark Rutstein, M.D., Global Head, Oncology Development, Novartis. “Guided by our decades-long experience advancing ITP care, the VAYHIT2 findings underscore the potential of ianalumab to deliver durable control with a short course of four once-monthly doses, offering patients the possibility of achieving disease stability without ongoing treatment.”Two doses of ianalumab were assessed in VAYHIT2 with ianalumab 9 mg/kg demonstrating statistically significant improvements across both the primary and key secondary endpoints, and ianalumab 3 mg/kg demonstrating statistically significant improvements in the primary endpoint and numerical improvements in the key secondary endpoint1-3. Ianalumab 9 mg/kg + eltrombopag (N=50) Ianalumab 3 mg/kg + eltrombopag (N=51) Placebo + eltrombopag (N=51) Primary endpoint: Time to treatment failure (TTF) 13.0 months (HR 0.55; 95% CI: 0.32, 0.92; p=0.021a) Not estimable (HR 0.58; 95% CI: 0.34, 0.98; p=0.023a) 4.7 months Key secondary endpoint: Stable response at 6 months (SR6) 62.0% (p=0.023a) 56.9% (p=0.035a) 39.2% a. Required p-value for statistical significance is one-sided <0.025Ianalumab was well tolerated with no new safety signals, and the side effect profile was consistent with previous studies1,2. Adverse events were comparable between the ianalumab and placebo arms, with the most common AEs for ianalumab plus eltrombopag being headache (14% with 9 mg/kg, 10% with 3 mg/kg vs. 8% with placebo) and infusion-related reactions (14% with 9 mg/kg, 8% with 3 mg/kg vs. 8% with placebo)1,2. Neutropenia* occurred more frequently in the ianalumab groups (16% with 9 mg/kg, 12% with 3 mg/kg) compared to placebo (2%) with most cases resolving without requiring treatment or dose interruption1,2. No on-treatment adverse event led to permanent discontinuation of therapy1,2. VAYHIT2 marks the third positive Phase III trial with ianalumab, following two positive trials in adults with active Sjögren's disease1,4. Novartis plans to submit the data from VAYHIT2 along with results from the ongoing first-line ITP trial, VAYHIT1, in 2027. Ianalumab has been granted Orphan Drug Designation by the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency5,6. *An adverse event of special interest encompassing several terms related to low levels of neutrophils, neutrophil precursors and leukocytesAbout ianalumab Ianalumab (VAY736) is a novel fully human monoclonal antibody being investigated for its potential to treat various B cell-driven autoimmune diseases, including Sjögren’s disease, immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), lupus nephritis (LN), warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) and diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc)3,7-13. Its mechanism of action targets B cells in two ways, namely combining B cell depletion via antibody-dependent cellular toxicity (ADCC) and interruption of BAFF-R mediated signals of B cell function and survival8. In clinical trials, ianalumab showed promising efficacy and a favorable safety profile in Sjögren’s disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, and immune thrombocytopenia4,14-16. Ianalumab originates from an early collaboration with MorphoSys AG, a company which Novartis later acquired in 202417. About primary immune thrombocytopenia Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a rare, autoimmune disorder in which the immune system mistakenly targets and destroys platelets, the cells essential for blood clotting18. This can lead to symptoms such as prolonged bleeding, easy bruising and chronic fatigue, which can significantly impact daily life18,19. Despite available treatments, many people living with ITP cycle through multiple therapies, unable to achieve long-term disease control20. Current options often focus on maintaining safe platelet levels and preventing bleeding complications and may require ongoing use20,21. The burden of chronic treatment and unpredictability of relapses can significantly impact quality of life19,22. There is a need for therapies that offer durable response while reducing the burden of long-term treatment23. About VAYHIT2 VAYHIT2 (NCT05653219) is a Phase III, multi-center, randomized, double-blind study evaluating the efficacy and safety of two different doses of ianalumab versus placebo, in addition to eltrombopag, in adults with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) (platelet count <30 G/L) who failed previous first-line treatment with corticosteroids3. Alongside eltrombopag, patients were randomized 1:1:1 to receive four once-monthly intravenous infusions of ianalumab at 3 mg/kg, ianalumab at 9 mg/kg or placebo3. The primary endpoint was time to treatment failure, which is defined as the time from randomization until either: a platelet count of less than 30 G/L later than 8 weeks from randomization; the need for rescue therapy later than 8 weeks from randomization; initiation of a new ITP treatment at any time; ineligibility or inability to taper/discontinue eltrombopag; or death3. The key secondary endpoint is the percentage of patients with a stable platelet count response at Month 63. Other secondary endpoints include measures of depth and duration of platelet response as well as patient-reported outcomes that measure quality of life and fatigue, among other endpoints3.
