Inclusion criteria

  • Diagnosed with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) for at least 6 months prior to signing the form (ICF).
  • Subject is ≥ 18 years old while signing the ICF.
  • Patients who have no response or after splenectomy. Or patients who have not been splenectomised and have no response or relapse to at least 1 prior treatment for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).
  • The mean of 3 scheduled counts taken during the screening period must be: \< 30 ×10\^9/L, with none >35×10\^9/L.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any known history of bone marrow stem cell disorder. Any abnormal bone marrow findings other than those typical of ITP.
  • Any active . If prior history of cancer other than basal cell carcinoma or cervical carcinoma in situ, and no treatment or active disease within 5 years prior to signing the ICF..
  • Received hematopoietic growth factors (e.g., granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, macrophage colony-stimulating factor, erythropoietin, interleukin-11) for any reason within 4 weeks prior to signing the ICF.
  • Received myeloproliferative leukemia (MPL) stimulation product other than the subject who had suspended recombinant human thrombopoietin (rHuTPO) for injection for 4 weeks before signing ICF.
  • Received any anti-malignancy agents (e.g., cyclophosphamide, 6-mercaptopurine, vincristine, vinblastine, Interferon-alfa) for any reason within 8 weeks prior to signing the ICF.
  • Received any monoclonal antibody drugs (e.g., rituximab) for any reason within 14 weeks prior to signing the ICF.
  • Less than 4 weeks since end of any clinical trials about therapeutic drug or device prior to signing the ICF.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • In the opinions of the principal investigator or investigators, the patients are not suitable for participation in this trial.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Sep 2015 to primary completion in Feb 2017, 17 months.

Of 41 industry-sponsored phase 3 interventional studies under Purpura, Thrombocytopenic, Idiopathic, half reached primary completion within 25 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 21 and three quarters within 45. This study's 17 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 57 studies reached it within 28 months; a quarter within 22 and three quarters within 49.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
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 Apr 29, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
