About this study

Official title: High-dose Dexamethasone Plus Hetrombopag Versus High-dose Dexamethasone Alone as Frontline Treatment for Newly Diagnosed Adult Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP):A Prospective Multicenter Randomized Trial

The project was undertaking by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University in China. In order to report the efficacy and safety of Hetrombopag plus high-dose dexamethasone for the treatment of adults with newly-diagnosed primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).

Read the detailed description

The investigators anticipate to undertaking a parallel group, randomised controlled trial of 100 ITP patients. One part of the participants are randomly selected to receive hetrombopag with starting dose 5mg po qd for 8 weeks(increase daily dose to a maximum of 7.5 mg/day if platelet count<50000 per μL following at least 2 weeks of treatment) combining with dexamethasone (given at a dose of 40 mg qd for 4 consecutive days). The others are selected to receive high-dose of dexamethasone alone. Patients who do not respond to dexamethasone may receive another cycle of high-dose dexamethasone therapy within 2 weeks. Platelet count, bleeding and other symptoms were evaluated before and after treatment. Adverse events are also recorded throughout the study. The purpose of this study is to report the efficacy and safety of Hetrombopag combining with high-dose dexamethasone therapy for the treatment of newly diagnosed ITP.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 26 week sustained overall response to ITP treatments

    Complete response was defined as a platelet count of 100 000 per μL or higher and an absence of bleeding.

    Partial response was defined as a platelet count of 30000 per μL or higher,and at least a doubling of the baseline platelet count and an absence of bleeding.

    No response was defined as a platelet count of less than 30000 per μL, or less than two-times increase from baseline platelet count, or bleeding.

    Measured: 26-week after treatment started

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. 28-day initial complete response to ITP treatment

    Complete response was defined as a platelet count of 100 000 per μL or higher and an absence of bleeding.

    Partial response was defined as a platelet count of 30000 per μL or higher,and at least a doubling of the baseline platelet count and an absence of bleeding.

    No response was defined as a platelet count of less than 30000 per μL, or less than two-times increase from baseline platelet count, or bleeding.

    Measured: 28 days after treatment started]

  2. 28-day initial overall response to ITP treatment

    Complete response was defined as a platelet count of 100 000 per μL or higher and an absence of bleeding.

    Partial response was defined as a platelet count of 30000 per μL or higher,and at least a doubling of the baseline platelet count and an absence of bleeding.

    No response was defined as a platelet count of less than 30000 per μL, or less than two-times increase from baseline platelet count, or bleeding.

    Measured: 28 days after treatment started

  3. 8-week complete response to ITP treatment

    Complete response was defined as a platelet count of 100 000 per μL or higher and an absence of bleeding.

    Partial response was defined as a platelet count of 30000 per μL or higher,and at least a doubling of the baseline platelet count and an absence of bleeding.

    No response was defined as a platelet count of less than 30000 per μL, or less than two-times increase from baseline platelet count, or bleeding.

    Measured: 8 weeks after treatment started

  4. 8-week overall response to ITP treatment

    No response was defined as a platelet count of less than 30000 per μL, or less than two-times increase from baseline platelet count, or bleeding.

    Measured: 8 weeks after treatment started

  5. time to response

    the time from treatment initiation to achieve a complete response or a partial response

    Measured: an average of 6 months

  6. duration of response

    the time from achievement of a complete response or a partial response to the loss of response

    Measured: through study completion, an average of one year

  7. therapy associated adverse events

    Measured: through study completion, an average of one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing hetrombopag 5mg po qd and High-dose Dexamethasone in people with ITP - Immune Thrombocytopenia, run by Shandong University at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 11 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 26 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Yan Shi (8682169896, shiyansjj@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

26 week sustained overall response to ITP treatments (time frame: 26-week after treatment started). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 26 Sep 2023.
