Study summary

This clinical trial is undertaking by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, aims at evaluating efficacy and safety of rhTPO in management of ITP in pregnancy.

Read the detailed description

The investigators are undertaking a single-center, non-randomized, non-controlled trial of 30 ITP patients in pregnancy from Qilu Hospital of Shandong University. ITP patients in pregnancy who failed to respond to prednisone, IVIG and developed refractoriness to platelet transfusion will be given rhTPO intravenously at a dose of 300U/kg every day. Dose will be tapered to 300U/kg every other day when platelet count rise over 50×10\^9/L. Maintenance will be continued after delivery and the dose will be further reduced to 300U/kg per week. Platelet count, bleeding and other symptoms will be evaluated before and after treatment. Adverse events will be recorded throughout the study.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Early Response

    Response rate (CR+R) at the 14th day, the 10th week from the initial injection of rhTPO, ante partum and one month after delivery. CR is defined as platelet count ≥ 100×109/L, and R is defined as platelet count of \>30×109/L with at least a doubling of the baseline value.

    Time frame: one month after delivery

Secondary outcomes

  1. Safety

    Adverse events in patients and infants.

    Time frame: six months after delivery
