June 4, 2026 updated by: Bing Han, Peking Union Medical College Hospital

Efficacy and Safety of Hetrombopag in Non-severe Aplastic Anemia: a Prospective Single Arm Study

This is a prospective one arm study to explore the efficacy and safety of Hetrombopag in non-severe aplastic anemia. Patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria would be recruited. Treatment of Hetrombopag would be started with 5mg/day. The dosage would be increased by 2.5mg/day every 2 weeks if the platelet count remains less than 20×10e9/L and reduced if the platelet count reaches over than 150×10e9/L. The maximum dosage is 15mg/day. All patients would receive treatment for at least 6 months except that the platelet <20×10e9/L at the dosage of 15mg/day for 4 weeks or the platelet ≥200×10e9/L at the dosage of 5mg/week for 2 weeks. The hematological response rate and safety will be recorded and compared at D15, 1month, 1.5month, 2month, 3month, 4month, 5month, 6month, 8month, 10month and 1year.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
