About this study
Official title: A Prospective Observational Study of Switching Avatrombopag and Rh-TPO in Chinese Adult Patients With Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia
Thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs) represent a highly effective and well-tolerated second-line ITP treatment that provides excellent responses.If there is cross-resistance between 2 drugs for the treatment of adult ITP is still unkonwn.The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of switching avatrombopag and rh-TPO in adults with ITP.
Read the detailed description
Thrombopoietin Receptor Agonists (TPO-RAs) are novel treatments for patients with chronic Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP). According to the findings of mechanism-based studies, rhTPO competes with endogenous TPO for binding to TPO-R while avatrombopag has an additive effect with endogenous TPO, indicating that the treatment mechanism and side-effect profiles could be somewhat different between these drugs. If there is cross-resistance between 2 drugs for the treatment of adult ITP is still no answer. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of switching avatrombopag and rh-TPO in adults with ITP.This is a non-interventional study. Patients who fail previous steroids and receive rh-TPO and then switch to avatrombopag or vice versa will be enrolled. The reason for switch will be recorded. The efficacy, safety, and patient/physician preference will be assessed and compared between the two agents.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Recombinant human thrombopoietin (rh-TPO) group | Patients who fail previous steroids and avatrombopag and then switch to Rh-TPO will be enrolled. The reason for switch will be recorded. Patients will be given rh-TPO 300 U/kg once daily for 14 days as initial treatment. After initial treatment, maintenance therapy were performance. At initial therapy, rhTPO will be suspended when platelet counts ≥100×10^9 / L. During maintenance therapy, patients with platelet counts >150×10^9 / L will suspend treatment until platelet counts drop to ≤150×10^9 / L. Dosing interval will be prolonged when platelet count is ≥100×10^9 / L to ≤150×10^9 / L. Dose modification is not required when platelet count is ≥30×10^9 / L to <100×10^9 / L. The efficacy, safety, and patient/physician preference will be assessed. | |
| Avatrombopag group | Patients who fail previous steroids and rh-TPO and then switch to avatrombopag will be enrolled. The reason for switch will be recorded. Patients will be given avatrombopag 20mg once daily as initiate treatment, and adjust the dosage according to the count of platelets. The maximum dose of avatrombopag is 40mg daily.Avatrombopag will be terminated any time the platelet counts increased above 250×10^9/L. Dose adjustment of avatrombopag will be allowed to maintain platelet counts between 30×10^9/L and 150×10^9/L. The efficacy, safety, and patient/physician preference will be assessed. |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Corticosteroid-resistant or Relapsed ITP, run by Peking University People's Hospital.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Haixia Fu, MD (8610-88324577, fuhaixia_210@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Initial response after switching (time frame: 4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04913597, which also lists 6 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Jun 2021.
