December 19, 2023 updated by: Xiao Hui Zhang, Peking University People's Hospital
The Combination of Teriflunomide and High-dose Dexamethasone vs High-dose Dexamethasone Alone as First-line Treatment for Newly Diagnosed Adult Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP): A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Trial
A randomized, open-label, multicenter study to compare the efficacy and safety of teriflunomide plus high-dose dexamethasone compared to high-dose dexamethasone monotherapy for the first-line treatment of adults with newly diagnosed primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).

Detailed Description
This is a parallel-group, multicenter, randomized controlled trial of 132 adults with ITP in China.
Patients were randomized to teriflunomide plus high-dose dexamethasone and high-dose dexamethasone monotherapy group.
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.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Teriflunomide plus Dexamethasone
Oral Teriflunomide was given at a dose of 7 mg once daily for 24 weeks and dexamethasone was given at a dose of 40mg, orally, once per day for 4 consecutive days (Days 1, 2, 3, and 4).
Nonresponsive participants with platelets less than 20 x10^9/L or with active bleeding were allowed to repeat the 4-day course of dexamethasone treatment.
|
Teriflunomide 7 mg orally once daily for 24 weeks.
Dose adjustments were made throughout the study based on individual platelet counts.
Other Names:
Dexamethasone 40 mg orally once daily for four consecutive days (the 4-day course of dexamethasone was repeated in the case of lack of response by day 14).
|
Active Comparator: Dexamethasone
Dexamethasone was given at a dose of 40mg, orally, once per day for 4 consecutive days (Days 1, 2, 3, and 4).
Participants in this treatment arm who failed to achieve a sustained response and had a platelet count of less than 20 x 10^9/L or with active bleeding were also allowed to repeat the 4-day course of dexamethasone treatment.
|
Dexamethasone 40 mg orally once daily for four consecutive days (the 4-day course of dexamethasone was repeated in the case of lack of response by day 14).
