Geoffrey BarnesHOST
Could you share a little bit about ITP, what it is, what makes it so complex to diagnose and manage? Just a quick primer for us.

Danny HsuGUEST
As you alluded to, really, ITP is an immune-mediated, essentially autoimmune problem where the patient's immune system, unfortunately, starts attacking its own platelets.

Danny HsuGUEST
And we know it's definitely very complex because the mechanism of how the platelets get destroyed, we now realise involve a number of different parts of the immune system.

Danny HsuGUEST
And now we know absolutely that plasma cells play a very big role in the chronic pathophysiology condition.

Geoffrey BarnesHOST
But talk to me a little bit about what are some best practices that clinicians like you and I can use as ways to support our patients with ITP, maybe from a mental and emotional health perspective? Are there things that you do or things that you advocate for so that we can be the best support possible?

And I was wondering if you could tell us a little bit about what you've got in store, Danny.

Danny HsuGUEST
Essentially, we've never done this before, but we're going to do this series called Thans Goes to ISTH.

Danny HsuGUEST
And look, really thank you, Nick, firstly, for really agreeing to this crazy idea.
