- Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate equivalent efficacy and comparable safety of the drug GP40141 (GEROPHARM, Russia) in comparison with the drug Nplate® (Amgen, the Netherlands). the main questions are
1. Assess the effectiveness of GP40141 in comparison with Nplate®.
2. Assess the immunogenicity of GP40141 in comparison with the drug Nplate®.
3. Assess the safety of GP40141 in comparison with the drug Nplate®.
4. Assess the safety of changing romiplostim and eltrombopag to GP40141.
5. Assess the pharmacokinetic parameters of the study drugs in patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia.
Participants divided into 2 cohorts (naïve or treated with a thrombopoietin receptor agonist) will receive romiplostim and platelet response, immune response and adverse reactions will be assessed.
- Detailed Description
The study will be conducted in adult patients with persistent or chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia. Patients both naïve to treatment with a thrombopoietin receptor agonist (cohort 1) and those who have previously received therapy (cohort 2) will be included.
Cohort 1:
Adult steroid-dependent or steroid-refractory patients with persistent or chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia (PIT) with or without a history of splenectomy who have not previously received thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO-RA) therapy.
Cohort 2:
Adult patients with persistent or chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia receiving TPO-RA (romiplostim or eltrombopag) for ≥12 weeks and with sustained response status at screening.

Group Intervention Description Nplate Nplate Lyophilized powder for solution 250 mcg in vials is diluted in sterile water for injection to a concentration of 500 mcg/ml. Administer once a week. Cohort 1 Starting dose of romiplostim is 1 mcg/kg actual body weight. The weekly dose of romiplostim is increased in increments of 1 mcg/kg body weight until the patient's platelet count reaches ≥50 x 10\*9/L. Platelet counts are assessed weekly. Cohort 2 Initial dose: • For patients receiving eltrombopag or Etrombopag-29F® (Pharmproekt, Russia)), it is recommended to switch to at Nplate® initial dose of 1 mcg/kg the day after the last dose of eltrombopag. The maintenance dose, dose adjustment, and maximum dose are consistent for both cohorts. Duration of therapy with study drugs will be 26 weeks. GP40141 GP404141 Lyophilized powder for solution 250 mcg in vials is diluted in sterile water for injection to a concentration of 500 mcg/ml. Administer once a week. Cohort 1 Starting dose of romiplostim is 1 mcg/kg actual body weight. The weekly dose of romiplostim is increased in increments of 1 mcg/kg body weight until the patient's platelet count reaches ≥50 x 10\*9/L. Platelet counts are assessed weekly. Cohort 2 * For subjects receiving Nplate®, a switch to GP40141 at an equivalent dose is recommended 7±2 days after the last Nplate® administration. The transition is equidosal since the drugs contain the same active ingredient. * For patients receiving eltrombopag or Etrombopag-29F® (Pharmproekt, Russia)), it is recommended to switch to GP40141 at an initial dose of 1 mcg/kg the day after the last dose of eltrombopag. The maintenance dose, dose adjustment, and maximum dose are consistent for both cohorts. Duration of therapy with study drugs will be 26 weeks.
