| Abstract | A subset of individuals with 'primary' or 'idiopathic' immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) who fail to respond to conventional first- and second-line agents or who lose responsiveness are considered to have 'refractory' disease (rITP), placing them at increased risk of bleeding and complications of intensive treatment. However, the criteria used to define the refractory state vary among studies, which complicates research and clinical investigation. Moreover, it is unclear whether rITP is simply 'more severe' ITP, or if there are specific pathogenic pathways that are more likely to result in refractory disease, and whether the presence or development of rITP can be established or anticipated based on these differences. This paper reviews potential biological features that may be associated with rITP, including genetic and epigenetic risk factors, dysregulation of T cells and cytokine networks, antibody affinity and specificity, activation of complement, impaired platelet production and alterations in platelet viability and clearance. These findings indicate the need for longitudinal studies using novel clinically available methodologies to identify and monitor pathogenic T cells, platelet antibodies and other clues to the development of refractory disease. |
