A Clinical Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Herombopag in the Treatment of Senile Primary ITP

Phase 2

Recruiting

• Conditions: Herombopag
• Interventions: Drug: herombopag olamine tablets

• Registration Number: NCT06838949
• Lead Sponsor: Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, China

Brief Summary

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Herombopag in the treatment of elderly patients with ITP.

Detailed Description

This is a single-arm, prospective clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of herombopag in the treatment of elderly patients with ITP. The study will include 80 patients. Screening of patients will be 2 weeks after the longest period, to enter after the treatment period, accept the herombopag 5 mg, once daily, on an empty stomach, oral medication can be eating only 2 hours, and 24 weeks of treatment, and adjust the dosage according to the platelet count. If patients do not respond to treatment after 8 weeks, it is recommended to withdraw from the study and continue safety visits for 4 weeks. During treatment, the patient continues treatment until the investigator assesses the occurrence of intolerable toxicity, disease progression, withdrawal of informed consent, or other discontinuation criteria specified in the protocol (whichever occurs first). Follow-up treatment for patients who withdraw from treatment due to safety or ineffectiveness is determined by the investigator according to clinical practice. Safety assessment during treatment, including vital signs, physical examination, laboratory examination, etc.; Check your blood routine at least once a week. A 4-week safety visit was performed after the final treatment.
