Detailed Description
The investigators are undertaking a multicenter trial of 100 primary ITP adult patients from 5 medical centers in China. All participants receive dexamethasone (given orally at a dose of 40 mg per day for 4 days), rituximab (given intravenously at a dose of 500mg once), cyclosporin (given orally at a dose of 2.5-3 mg/kg per day for 28 days) and intravenous immunoglobulin (given intravenously at a dose of 5g per month for 6 months) for the treatment of adults newly diagnosed ITP patients.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Evaluation of platelet response (Complete Response) [The time frame is up to 3 months per subject]
CR. A complete response (CR) was defined as a sustained (≥ 3 months) platelet count ≥ 100×10^9/L
- Evaluation of platelet response (Response) [The time frame is up to 3 months per subject]
R. A response (R) was defined as a sustained (≥ 3 months) platelet count ≥ 30×10^9/L without recurrence of thrombocytopenia.
- Evaluation of platelet response (No Response) [The time frame is up to 3 months per subject]
NR.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.
- Evaluation of platelet response (relapses) [The time frame is up to 9 months per subject]
A relapses was defined as platelet count falls below 30×10^9/L or bleeding accrues after achieving R or CR.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The number and frequency of therapy associated adverse events [up to 9 months per subject]
