Study Description

Brief Summary:

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).

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
ITP - Immune Thrombocytopenia	Drug: hetrombopag 5mg po qd Drug: High-dose Dexamethasone	Phase 2

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

26 week sustained overall response to ITP treatments [ Time Frame: 26-week after treatment started ]
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.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

28-day initial complete response to ITP treatment [ Time Frame: 28 days after treatment started] ]
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.
