Immune Thrombocytopenia clinical trials at UCSD

Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a condition where the immune system mistakenly destroys platelets, which are cells that help stop bleeding. This leads to a low number of platelets, making it easier to bruise or bleed. The main aim of this study is to learn whether mezagitamab, when given just under the skin (subcutaneously [SC]), is effective in keeping the platelet count of adults with ITP stable when compared to a placebo. A placebo looks like medicine but doesn't have any active ingredients in it. The participants will be treated with mezagitamab for up to 6 months. During the study, participants will visit their study clinic several times. Participants who complete the TAK-079-3002 study or do not have any response to study treatment by week 16 (according to study criteria) will be given the opportunity to participate in a continuation study to receive open label mezagitamab (if they are eligible and the site is able to open the continuation study).

Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a condition where the immune system mistakenly destroys platelets, which are cells that help stop bleeding. This leads to a lower number of platelets, making it easier to bruise or bleed. The main aim of this study is to check how safe mezagitamab is and how well it is tolerated by adults with chronic primary ITP, if given over a longer time. Other aims are to learn how effective treatment with mezagitamab is and how the body processes it (called pharmacokinetics or PK) over a longer time. Participants of the following previous mezagitamab studies will be invited to join this continuation study: TAK-079-3002 and TAK-079-1004. In this continuation study, participants will receive mezagitamab when certain protocol criteria are met. During the study, participants will visit their study clinic several times.
