Exclusion Criteria: 1. Have immune thrombocytopenia secondary to other pathologies or drug mediated thrombocytopenia. 2. Have a known diagnosis of other autoimmune diseases, established in the medical history and laboratory findings with positive results for the determination of antinuclear antibodies, anti-cardiolipin antibodies, lupus anticoagulant or direct Coombs test. 3. Present important active bleeding due to other reasons apart from the ITP. 4. Exhibit an identifiable alternative cause of their thrombocytopenia, such as splenomegaly, family thrombocytopenia, bacteraemia, sepsis or active infection requiring or not therapy. 5. Are presenting renal dysfunction. 6. Have non-controlled arterial hypertension. 7. Have documented liver cirrhosis or any hepatic disorder with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels 2.5 times or more than the normal upper limit or bilirubin greater than 2 mg/dL. 8.

Have been previously treated with IVIG or anti-D immunoglobulin being unresponsive. 11. Have a history of serious adverse reactions or non-serious but frequent adverse reactions to intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) preparations or other products derived from blood. 12. Have known allergies to any IGIV3I Grifols components, such as D-sorbitol. 13. Are simultaneously participating in other clinical studies or have received an investigational drug in the 3 months prior to the start of the study. 14. Have been involved in the present study and being treated with the formulation at 5% (IGIV3I Grifols 5%). 15. Have conditions that might affect patient compliance. 16. Are unable to provide a storage serum sample just before the first dose of IGIV3I Grifols. 17. Are pregnant or nursing an infant child or unwilling to practice adequate birth control in 1-month period after the first infusion in the study. |

| Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Responder Patients | The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients who reached a platelet count = 50x10^9/L. | At any time during the study period (The platelet count was measured at Days 1-6, 10, 14. 21, 30, 60, 90). | No |
| Secondary | Maximum Platelet Level Reached During the Follow-up Period | Platelet count was measured at various time points in the follow-up period after infusion. | During the follow-up period (time points: Days 6, 10, 14, 21, 30, 60, 90 post-first infusion day [Day 1]) | No |
| Secondary | Time to Reach Platelet Count = 50x10^9/L (= Days) | The time taken for the platelet count to reach = 50x10^9/L from first dose | At any time during the study period (time points: Days 1-6, 10, 14, 21, 30, 60, 90 post-first infusion day [Day 1]) | No |
| Secondary | Length of Time Platelet Count Remains = 50x10^9/L (= Days) | Length of time platelet count remained = 50x10^9/L from first dose (Day 1) | At any time during the study period (up to 3 months [90 days]) | No |
| Secondary | Regression of Hemorrhages. | Percentage of subjects with regression of hemorrhages of Types 1 to 3: Type 0: Patients without symptoms of bleeding at the first infusion continue without presenting spontaneous bleeding Type 1: Patients with bleeding symptoms at the first infusion had a reduction of the size of large ecchymoses, and no spontaneous appearance of new ecchymoses Type 2: Patients with bleeding symptoms at the first infusion had a decrease in the number of cutaneous petechiae, or the extent of the affected area of the body decreased Type 3: Patients had active mucosal bleedings at the first infusion, these episodes stopped without re-bleeding, and there was no occurrence of new spontaneous mucosal hemorrhages (e.g., gingival bleeding, epistaxis) |
First 10 to14 days since the first infusion day (Day 1) | Yes |
| Secondary | Frequency of Adverse Reactions During and After Infusions by Percentage of Patients | All adverse events (AEs) are tabulated and summarized. The incidence, severity, and causal relationship of the AEs to IGIV3I Grifols are presented by system organ class after medical coding according to the version 15.0 of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). The frequency of patients with at least one AE and adverse drug reactions are estimated. | At any time during the study period (from patient's signature of the informed consent form until 3 months of follow-up) | Yes |
| Secondary | Frequency of Adverse Reactions During and After Infusions by Percentage of Infusions | All adverse events (AEs) are tabulated and summarized. The incidence, severity, and causal relationship of the AEs to IGIV3I Grifols are presented by system organ class after medical coding according to the version 15.0 of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). The frequency of infusions associated with at least one AE and adverse drug reactions are estimated. | At any time during the study period (from patient's signature of the informed consent form until 3 months of follow-up) | Yes |
| Secondary | Changes in Vital Signs and Clinically Relevant Changes in Laboratory Parameters After the Infusions, Including Renal Function (Creatinine Levels) | Laboratory parameters at each treatment day and visit are summarized by patient. Results were marked as normal/abnormal (whether the result is below, within or above the respective reference range) and relevant/irrelevant (as determined by the investigator). The number of abnormal values considered clinically relevant changes (based on the investigator's judgment) was listed. | At any time during the study period (from patient's signature of the informed consent form until 3 months of follow-up) | Yes |

A comparison of negative viral markers on Day 1 and Month 3 was performed | At any time during the study period (from patient's signature of the informed consent form until 3 months of follow-up) | Yes |
