Zanubrutinib and Eltrombopag as Second-line Treatment in Adults With Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Randomized, open-label, multicenter study to compare the efficacy and safety of zanubrutinib plus eltrombopag compared to eltrombopag monotherapy for the first-line treatment of adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).
| Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
The investigators are undertaking a prospective trial of patients with ITP in China. Zanubrutinib is administered as 80 mg po. qd for 6 weeks. Eltrombopag is given with 50 mg once daily for up to 6 weeks. Platelet count, bleeding and other symptoms were evaluated before and after treatment. Adverse events are also recorded throughout the study. This study assessed the efficacy and safety of eltrombopag plus zanubrutinib.

Drug: Eltrombopag
eltrombopag 50 mg qd for up to 6 weeks. The eltrombopag dose could be increased from 50 mg to 75 mg after 3 weeks in patients whose platelet counts were less than 50 000 per μL. Treatment was discontinued in patients who attained a platelet count greater than 200 000 per μL.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Treatment response [6 weeks]
The proportion of patients who had an increase in platelet counts to 50 000 per μL or more after 6 weeks of treatment
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Overall response [6 weeks]
The maintenance of platelet count ≥ 30 x 10^9/L, at least 2-fold increase of the baseline count, the absence of bleeding, and no need for rescue medication after 6 weeks of treatment
- Complete response (CR) [6 weeks]
Complete response (CR) was defined as platelet count more than 100,000 per cubic millimeter and absence of bleeding
- Time to response [6 weeks]
The time from starting treatment to time of achievement of Response
- Sustained response [12 month]
The maintenance of platelet count ≥ 30 x 10^9/L, at least 2-fold increase of the baseline count, the absence of bleeding, and no need for rescue medication at the 12-month follow-up
- Number of patients with bleeding [12 months]
Number of patients with bleeding complication ( WHO bleeding score)
- Number of patients with adverse events [12 months]
Number of patients with adverse events
- Duration of response (DOR) [12 months]
Duration of response at 12-month follow up
- Loss of response [12 months]
Platelet counts below 100 x 109/L or bleeding (from CR) or platelet counts below 30 x 109/L, less than 2-fold increase of baseline platelet count or bleeding (from R)
