Study summary

Intensive chemotherapy is associated with significant thrombocytopenia, often requiring platelet transfusion to maintain platelet counts. This investigational drug has demonstrated the ability to increase platelet counts. This study will test the safety and efficacy of an investigational drug in the prevention of thrombocytopenia in patients with high-risk sarcoma receiving AI (Adriamycin/Ifosfamide) chemotherapy.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. To evaluate the effectiveness of intravenous rhTPO versus placebo in reducing the cumulative proportion of patients who experience severe chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Identify the effect of rhTPO on the number of platelet transfusions.

  2. Evaluate the severity and duration of thrombocytopenia and neutropenia associated with rhTPO prophylaxis.

  3. Quantify the effect of rhTPO on the occurrence of any bleeding events associated with thrombocytopenia.

  4. Assess the likelihood that patients were to have adequate hematological recovery to allow on-time chemotherapy administration in the subsequent cycles.

  5. Assess the safety of multiple IV doses of rhTPO.

  6. Determine the occurrence and clinical implications of any anti-TPO antibodies.

  7. Assess the antitumor activity of AI chemotherapy.

  8. Evaluate the impact of rhTPO prophylaxis on health economics/cost effectiveness.

  9. Evaluate the impact of rhTPO prophylaxis on patient quality of life.

  10. Determine serum concentrations of TPO in the context of rhTPO and chemotherapy administration

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 4, 2015, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
