In this video, Ronak Mistry, DO, discusses the results of a study presented at ASH Annual Meeting that examined the use of the Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor rilzabrutinib in patients with immune thrombocytopenic purpura.
Mistry, an assistant professor at University of Pennsylvania, highlighted the phase 3 LUNA-3 study, which compared rilzabrutinib (Sanofi) to a placebo in an effort to measure the durability of response.
“I’m excited to see this drug potentially on the market in the near future, just to continue to give our patients more options for ITP management,” Mistry said.
