The ITP ASH 2024 grant initiative, offered by SANOFI, is designed to identify and fund projects that aim to close significant healthcare gaps related to the treatment and management of Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP).

SANOFI is particularly interested in supporting educational and therapeutic strategies that promise to enhance the clinical handling of ITP, focusing on innovative treatment methodologies and educational activities that can lead to improved patient outcomes.

This grant opportunity, offered by Sanofi, aims to address gaps and provide educational resources related to the diagnosis and treatment of Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). CIDP is a heterogeneous, immune-mediated neuropathy characterized by demyelination of motor and sensory nerves, leading to various clinical challenges. Sanofi seeks proposals for educational programs, particularly those that can effectively recap information from the 2024 Peripheral Nerve Society Annual Meeting and offer independent medical education (IME) activities. Programs should focus on key evidence-based data and offer recommendations to healthcare providers dealing with CIDP, particularly in areas such as treatment options, clinical challenges, and the role of complement therapeutics in CIDP care.
