Phase 3
Recruiting
Conditions
Purpura, Thrombocytopenic, Idiopathic
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT05438875
Lead Sponsor
Peking University People's Hospital
Brief Summary

A Prospective, Randomized, Open-Label, Multicenter Clinical Trial study to compare the efficacy and safety of ATRA plus eltrombopag compared to eltrombopag monotherapy in the treatment of steroid-resistant/relapsed immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).

Detailed Description

The investigators are undertaking a parallel group, multicenter, randomized controlled trial of patients with ITP in China. Patients were tested for MSCs, and they were divided into MSC-C5b-9+ group and MSC-C5b-9- group according to the test results, and the two groups were randomized to ATRA + eltrombopag and eltrombopag monotherapy group. Platelet count, bleeding and other symptoms were evaluated before and after treatment. Adverse events are also recorded throughout the study.

EltrombopagEltrombopagThe initial dose of eltrombopag was 50 mg/time, once a day. According to the clinical standard of eltrombopag dose adjustment in the research protocol set by the research group, the dose was increased when the platelet count was lower than 5×109/L. The highest is 75mg/d, if the dose is higher than 200×109/L, the dose is reduced. When the dose is higher than 400×109/L, the drug is temporarily discontinued, and the drug is repeated according to the platelet count. The treatment course is 12 weeks.
ATRA and Eltrombopagall-trans retinoic acidATRA 10 mg, 2 times a day, orally; The initial dose of eltrombopag was 50 mg/time, once a day. According to the clinical standard of eltrombopag dose adjustment in the research protocol set by the research group, the dose was increased when the platelet count was lower than 5×109/L. The maximum dose is 75 mg/d, the dose is reduced if it is higher than 200×109/L, and the drug is temporarily discontinued when it is higher than 400×109/L, and the drug is repeated according to the platelet count. The treatment course is 12 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Sustained Response Rate (SR) at 18 months18 months

The maintenance of platelet count ≥ 30 x 10\^9/L, at least 2-fold increase of the baseline count, the absence of bleeding, and no need for rescue medication at the 18-month follow-up

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
