Platelet Disorder Support Association

The Platelet Disorder Support Association (PDSA) is a premier non-profit patient advocacy organization dedicated to improving the lives of those with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and other platelet disorders. Founded in 1998, the association provides essential education, advocacy, and support services to patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers globally. PDSA actively funds research initiatives aimed at finding a cure and improving treatment outcomes for rare bleeding disorders. The organization also facilitates a network of support groups and hosts an annual ITP Conference to foster community and knowledge sharing. By collaborating with regulatory agencies and industry partners, PDSA ensures the patient perspective is integrated into the drug development process.
