Brief Summary

Bone marrow failure disease(BMFD) is a kind of bone marrow due to congenital or acquired hematopoietic stem cells (hemopoietic stem cell, HSC) function damage. Allogenic hemopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) might be the most possible treatment to cure the disease.However, 5-26% of patients have been reported to have delayed platelet engraftment (DPE), which is defined as persistent severe thrombocytopenia (\<20 × 109/L) for \>35 days after transplantation . To date, no standard treatment and prevention has been recommended for DPE. In patients with DPE, the amount of transfusion, the increased risk of infection, and the prolonged average hospital stay were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of allo-HSCT patients. Due to continuous and progressive failure in the bone marrow hematopoiesis, thrombocytopenia post HSCT is more common in BMFD patients and often achieves low response to conventional therapy, such as platelet transfusion. Therefore, it is of great significance to effectively promote hematopoietic reconstruction to improve the prognosis of transplant patients.

Detailed Description

Bone marrow failure disease(BMFD) is a kind of bone marrow due to congenital or acquired hematopoietic stem cells (hemopoietic stem cell, HSC) function damage. Generally, BMFD can be divided into two categories based on pathogenesis, which is primary and secondary BMFD. The latter is commonly seen secondary to infection, cancer, drugs, while aplastic anemia(AA), myelodysplastic syndromes(MDS), paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria(PNH) and Fanconi anaemia(FA) are included in primary BMFD. Although immunotherapy or allogenic hemopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) can be selected based on different individuals, allo-HSCT is still the most effective treatment for diseases that pose a greater threat to life or have a higher degree of malignancy, such as sereve aplastic anemia(SAA), MDS and PNH. Patients undergoing allo-HSCT typically achieve neutrophil and megakaryocyte reconstruction within 2 weeks and 3 weeks after transplantation respectively. However, 5-26% of patients have been reported to have delayed platelet engraftment (DPE), which is defined as persistent severe thrombocytopenia (\<20 × 109/L) for \>35 days after transplantation . To date, no standard treatment and prevention has been recommended for DPE. In patients with DPE, the amount of transfusion, the increased risk of infection, and the prolonged average hospital stay were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of allo-HSCT patients. Due to continuous and progressive failure in the bone marrow hematopoiesis, thrombocytopenia post HSCT is more common in BMFD patients and often achieves low response to conventional therapy, such as platelet transfusion. Therefore, it is of great significance to effectively promote hematopoietic reconstruction to improve the prognosis of transplant patients.

• Study Design: PARALLEL

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
supportive care	Supportive care	patients in this group will receive supportive care, including blood products transfusion, anti-infective therapy rather than rhTPO or TPO-RAs.
Eltrombopag group	Eltrombopag 25 MG Oral Tablet	Eltrombopag treatment will be started at the dose of 50mg/d from the 1st day post hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and the dose will be titrated by 25mg each every 7 days up to 100mg/d according to the tolerability. If not tolerable, reduce the dose to the previous tolerable level (if not tolerable at 50mg/d, reduce to 25mg/d) and maintain this dose for the following 7 days, with the attempt to restart dose escalation after this 7-day period.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number and proportion of platelet engraftment on day 35 post HSCT.	From day 28 to 35 post HSCT	Platelet engraftment is defined as platelet count \>20×109/L in consecutive 7 days (namely day 28 to day 35 after HSCT) without platelet transfusion in the prior 7 days (in other words, no platelet transfusion after day 21).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number and proportion of subjects achieving neutrophil engraftment at day 35 post HSCT.	From day 28 to 35 post HSCT	Neutrophil engraftment is defined as ANC\>0.5×109/L for consecutive 3 days without administration of G-csf
Hematopoietic reconstruction time.	From day 1 to day 180 post HSCT	Reconstruction time is defined as the time from day 1 after allo-HSCT to platelet or neutrophil engraftment
Overall survival (OS)	From day 1 to day 720 post HSCT or the time of the patients enrolled dead or quitting	OS is defined as the time from the date of day 1 post HSCT to the date of death due to any cause.
