Detailed Description
Eltrombopag, a small molecule agonist of thrombopoietin receptor (TPO-RA), was recommended as the subsequent treatment for ITP patients, which also already showed robust efficacy.Recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) is a full-length glycosylated-TPO produced by Chinese hamster ovary cells, which showed its effectiveness in ITP in a variety of studies.
Both eltrombopag and rhTPO demonstrated good safety in ITP patients. Because of their non-immunosuppressive nature, both of them serve as a reasonable choice during the global COVID-19 pandemic.
Since they increase the number of platelets through different mechanisms, and previous studies demonstrated that they might exert synergic effect. The investigators hypothesized that the combination of these two agents could be a promising option for treatment of corticosteroid-resistant or relapsed ITP patients.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Complete response
Time Frame: 6 weeks
|
A complete response (CR) was defined as a sustained (≥ 3 months) platelet count ≥ 100×10^9/L.
|
6 weeks
|
Response
Time Frame: 6 weeks
|
A response (R) was defined as a sustained (≥ 3 months) platelet count ≥ 30×10^9/L without recurrence of thrombocytopenia.
|
6 weeks
|
No response
Time Frame: 6 weeks
|
No response (NR) was defined as platelet count < 30 × 10^9/L or a less than two fold increase in platelet count from baseline or the presence of bleeding.
Platelet count must be measured on two occasions more than a day apart.
|
6 weeks
|
Relapses
Time Frame: 6 weeks
|
A relapses was defined as platelet count falls below 30×10^9/L or bleeding accrues after achieving R or CR.
|
6 weeks
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Early response
Time Frame: 7 days
|
Early response was defined as the attainment of a platelet count ≥ 30 × 10⁹ and at least a doubling of baseline platelet count at 1 week.
|
7 days
|
Initial response
Time Frame: 1 month
|
Initial treatment was defined as the attainment of a platelet count ≥ 30 × 10⁹ and at least a doubling of baseline platelet count at 1 month.
|
1 month
|
TOR (time to response)
Time Frame: 6 weeks
|
The time to achieve platelet count ≥ 30×10^9/L and at least 2-fold increase of the baseline count and absence of bleeding since start of treatment.
|
6 weeks
|
DOR (duration of response)
Time Frame: 6 weeks
|
The duration of achieve platelet count ≥ 30×10^9/L and at least 2-fold increase of the baseline count and absence of bleeding since start of treatment.
|
6 weeks
|
Treatments associated adverse events
Time Frame: 6 weeks
|
All patients were assessed for safety every week during the first 8 weeks of treatment, and at 2-week intervals thereafter.
Adverse events were scaled according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.
|
6 weeks
|
Reduction in bleeding symptoms
Time Frame: 6 weeks
|
Changes of bleeding after treatment.
Bleeding was defined in accordance with the WHO bleeding scale (0, no bleeding; 1, petechiae; 2, mild blood loss; 3, gross blood loss; and 4, debilitating blood loss).
|
6 weeks
