This is a multi-center, observational, Phase 4 study in patients with Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) designed to describe the real-world effectiveness of Doptelet and assess the patterns of drug utilization to add to the knowledge base regarding the use of Doptelet in routine medical practice. Patients eligible for participation will, as part of their routine medical care, be receiving Doptelet for the treatment of ITP.
This is a multi-center, observational, Phase 4 study in patients with ITP designed to describe the real-world effectiveness of Doptelet and assess the patterns of drug utilization to add to the knowledge base regarding the use of Doptelet in routine medical practice. Patients eligible for participation will, as part of their routine medical care, be receiving Doptelet for the treatment of ITP. The scope of the study is to collect both retrospective and prospective data. The main part of the study will be prospective collecting data on usage, effectiveness, safety, patient- and clinician-reported outcomes and health economic parameters whereas the retrospective part will consist of collection of information on previous treatments, reason for treatment switch, healthcare resource use and, if applicable, Doptelet treatment prior to enrollment. The retrospective data collection will be based on the information available in the patient's medical records. Data will be collected for up to 12 months prior to Doptelet treatment start. Prospective data will be collected at routine clinical visits throughout the study. Patients will be followed for 12 (+6) months and will be enrolled until their first scheduled visit after 12 months of enrollment, or until early termination, whichever occurs first.

According to prescription
Cumulative number of weeks with a platelet count ≥30×109/L during Doptelet treatment.
Laboratory measures of platelet count will be collected if performed according to routine clinical practice and available in the patient's medical records. All analyses of platelet counts will be based on local laboratory results. Platelet count is an accepted surrogate marker for bleeding risk.

Adherence to Doptelet treatment assessed via the 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8).
MMAS-8 is an 8-item structured, self-reported medication adherence measure. The self-reported measure of medication taking was developed from a previously validated 4-item scale and supplemented with additional items addressing the circumstances surrounding adherence behavior. Each item measures a specific medication-taking behavior and not a determinant of adherence behavior. Response categories are yes/no for each item with a dichotomous response and a 5-point Likert response for the last item. Adherent patients are identified with the score of 8 on the scale, medium adherers with a score of 6 to \<8, and low adherers with a score of \<6. The MMAS-8 Scale, content, name, and trademarks are protected by US copyright and trademark laws. Permission for use of the scale and its coding is required.

Time frame: Data will be collected for all routine visits completed during the study period which is at least 12 but not more than 18 months.
Physician assessment of clinical change of Doptelet treatment using the Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC) scale.

Time frame: Data will be collected for all routine visits completed during the study period which is at least 12 but not more than 18 months.
Change from enrollment in the European Quality of Life - 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D-5L) scale.
The EQ-5D is a standardized generic instrument for use as a measure of health outcome. The EQ-5D consists of 2 parts - the EQ-5D descriptive profile which is mapped into a single index value for health status (utility value) and the EQ visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). The EQ-5D-5L descriptive system comprises the following 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems.
Time frame: Data will be collected for all routine visits completed during the study period which is at least 12 but not more than 18 months.
Change from enrollment in the Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura Patient Assessment Questionnaire (ITP-PAQ).
ITP-PAQ is a disease-specific self-administered tool which was developed and validated to assess health related quality of life (HRQoL) in adult patients with ITP using a 4-week recall period. It consists in 44 items distributed across 10 dimensions: Symptoms (6 items), Bother-Physical Health (3 items), Fatigue/Sleep (4 items), Activity (2 items), Fear (5 items), Psychological Health (5 items), Work (4 items), Social Activity (4 items), Women's Reproductive Health (6 items) and Overall QoL (5 items). Each scale is scored from 0 to 100, with higher scores representing better HRQoL.
Time frame: Data will be collected for all routine visits completed during the study period which is at least 12 but not more than 18 months.
Change from enrollment in the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue) questionnaire.
FACIT-Fatigue is a 13-item scale developed to assess specifically quality of life concerns related to fatigue in patients with chronic diseases. The scale was initially developed to assess cancer-related fatigue, however it has been since then used and psychometrically validated in other chronic diseases, including ITP. The instrument includes items such as tiredness, weakness, listlessness, lack of energy, and the impact of these feelings on daily functioning over the past seven days. Each item is scored on a 5-point Likert Scale ranging from "0-Not at all" to "4-Very much".
Time frame: Data will be collected for all routine visits completed during the study period which is at least 12 but not more than 18 months.
Change from enrollment in Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) scale.

Time frame: Data will be collected for all routine visits completed during the study period which is at least 12 but not more than 18 months.
Change from enrollment in Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) questionnaire.
WPAI for specific health problem, WPAI:SHP v2.0 questionnaire is a generic and standard instrument developed to measure the effect of specific health problems and symptom severity on work productivity and regular activities during the past seven days. It contains six items which ascertain employment status and quantify absenteeism due to health problems, presenteeism and overall health-related impairment in both paid work and regular activities over the previous 7 days. The WPAI provides quantitative data at the item level compatible with economic modelling.
