Summary

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a haemorrhagic disorder often associated with CTD. Corticosteroids are the first-line treatment for CTD-associated thrombocytopenia, but not all patients respond well. Eltrombopag is an oral, small molecule thrombopoietin receptor agonist. It interacts with the transmembrane domain of the thrombopoietin receptor and stimulates platelet production. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of eltrombopag in patients with refractory CTD-ITP. It is a single-centre, retrospective, observational study involving a cohort of 52 patients diagnosed with CTD-RITP who received eltrombopag between 2013 and 2023. Follow-up data will be systematically collected and analysed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of the drug. The study will provide valuable insight into the benefit of eltrombopag in CTD-RITP by reviewing baseline characteristics and performing subsequent clinical assessments to determine drug response and adverse events.
