An Investigation of rhTPO With Different Frequencies in the Management of ITP
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The project was undertaking by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and other well-known hospitals in China. In order to study the efficacy and safety of different dose and frequency Recombinant Human thrombopoietin in treating the primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP)

Detailed Description
The investigators are undertaking a parallel group, multicentre, randomised controlled trial of 30 primary ITP adult patients from 3 medical centers in China. They will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio into three groups .The patients in group A (total 10 patients) will receive rhTPO at a dose of 300Units/kg ,daily for 14 consecutive days;The patients in group B will receive rhTPO at a dose of 300Units/kg ,one times every other day for 7 times.The patients in group C will receive rhTPO at a dose of 300Units/kg ,daily for 7 consecutive days .All the patients will follow with a flexible dosage depending on platelet count during the following 12 weeks.
Platelet counts, bleeding and other symptoms were evaluated before and after treatment, in order to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different dose and frequency Recombinant Human thrombopoietin in treating the primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP)

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Early Response [14 days]
response rate (CR+R) at the 14th day and the 14th week from the initial injection of rhTPO. CR is defined as platelet count ≥ 100×10^9/L, and R is defined as platelet count of >30 × 10^9/L with a least a doubling of the baseline value.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Safety [1 years]
The type and frequency of therapy associated adverse events

To show a platelet count < 30×10^9/L, and with bleeding manifestations.
-
Willing and able to sign written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
