Initial Treatment of Patients With Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP^2)

2. januar 2014 oppdatert av: HealthCore-NERI

Initial Treatment of Patients With Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura: The ITP^2 Study

This study will compare treatment with 3 courses of high-dose dexamethasone versus treatment with prednisone, for patients recently diagnosed with immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). The primary hypothesis is that patients treated with high-dose dexamethasone will obtain a more durable remission than patients treated with prednisone.

Detaljert beskrivelse

ITP is a common disorder associated with significant morbidity. For more than 40 years it has been recognized that this disorder was responsive to corticosteroid therapy. As corticosteroids are easily obtainable and inexpensive, they have become the standard first-line therapy for adult patients with newly-diagnosed ITP. Generally, patients are treated with prednisone at a dose of approximately 1 mg/kg, or 60 mg/day, and once a response is obtained the daily dosage is gradually tapered. While approximately 70% of patients treated in this manner respond initially, most will relapse as the corticosteroid dose is lowered; ultimately only 15-20% of patients achieve a complete or partial remission of their ITP at an "acceptable" dose of prednisone. Recently, several studies have suggested that the use of high dose corticosteroids, specifically pulse dexamethasone, may be a more efficacious initial therapy for ITP, capable of causing a higher initial response rate and a significantly longer duration of remission despite a shorter course of initial therapy.

This study will compare treatment with 3 courses of high-dose dexamethasone versus treatment with prednisone, for patients recently diagnosed with immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). The primary hypothesis is that patients treated with high-dose dexamethasone will obtain a more durable remission than patients treated with standard oral corticosteroids. This may reflect the ability of high dose corticosteroids to eradicate a sensitive pathogenic lymphoid clone that may be transiently susceptible to aggressive immunosuppressive therapy early in the course of disease.

  • Known HIV infection
  • Known HCV infection
  • Known systemic lupus erythematosus
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding

Våpen og intervensjoner

Deltakergruppe / Arm
Intervensjon / Behandling
Eksperimentell: High dose pulse dexamethasone
The dose for dexamethasone is 30 mg/day for patients < 60 kg and 40 mg/day for patients > 60 kg. The patient will be dosed on days 1-4, 15-18 and 29-32. On the remaining days during the treatment phase of the study, the patient will receive placebo capsules.
Aktiv komparator: Standard prednisone therapy
Prednisone will be administered to study patients at a dose of 60 mg/day for patients less than 60 kg and 80 mg/day for patients > 60 kg for 21 days. The following schedule for tapering of prednisone will be used: after three weeks of treatment at either 60 mg/day (for patients < 60 kg) or 80 mg/day (for patients ≥ 60 kg), the dose will be reduced to 40 mg/day for 1 week, then 20 mg/day for 1 week, then 10 mg/day for 1 week, then 5 mg/day for 1 week and then stopped. Placebo capsules will be added as necessary during the treatment phase of the study, to maintain blinding.
