Therapeutic management of patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) remains challenging; however, thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO‐RAs) have revolutionised the treatment landscape of ITP. It is increasingly hypothesised that TPO‐RAs may have an immune modulatory role and Pizzi and colleagues provide evidence in support of this by demonstrating that TPO‐RA treatment restores the decreased regulatory T cell (Treg) numbers in the splenic microenvironment of patients with ITP.
