Mechanism of action

ITI works by suppressing the immune system's response to factor VIII through a regimen typically involving factor VIII infusions combined with immunosuppressive drugs (such as cyclophosphamide and corticosteroids). The goal is to eliminate or reduce factor VIII inhibitor antibodies, allowing patients to safely use factor VIII replacement therapy again. This approach aims to restore immune tolerance rather than simply managing inhibitor levels.
