Study summary

The main aim of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of PN20 in adult patients with chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CID). The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Is PN20 safe in these patients?
  • Could these patients potentially benefit from PN20 prevention? Participants will
  • Receive subcutaneous injections of PN20 according to weight on the first day of chemotherapy cycle, within 1 hour before the administration of chemotherapy drugs,
  • Visit the clinic on Day 1 (D1), D2, D3, D4, D5, D8, D11, D13, D15 and D21 for assessment.
Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, single-arm, open-label, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of PN20 for the Prevention of Chemotherapy-induced Thrombocytopenia in Adult Patients With Lymphoma or Solid Tumor.

This study was divided into two phase, single-dose and multiple-dose. After single-dose period (21 days), if the subject meets the multiple-dose criteria, he or she can enter the multiple-dose phase for the second cycle of PN20 prevention. Subjects could receive a maximum of two cycles of PN20 prevention.

  5. Platelet count (PLT) was between 75 and 150×10\^9/L (including the critical value) one day before the start of chemotherapy in the first treatment cycle or before enrollment;
  6. There was a decrease in PLT to 25×10\^9/L≤ PLT \<75×10\^9/L during the previous chemotherapy cycle before enrollment;
  7. Expected survival ≥ 12 weeks;
  8. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Physical Score is ≤ 2;
  9. No fertility plan during the trial and within 6 months after the end of the follow-up, and agree to take medically recognized contraceptive measures (such as complete abstinence, condoms, contraceptive rings, ligation, drug contraception, etc.) to avoid pregnancy for themselves or their partners;
  10. Be able to understand the requirements and procedures of the protocol, voluntarily participate and sign the informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. With thrombocytopenia caused by non-chemotherapy within 6 months before screening, including but not limited to ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-dependent pseudothrombocytopenia, hypersplenism, infection and bleeding;
  2. With other hematopoietic diseases other than lymphoma and chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia, including leukemia, primary immune thrombocytopenia, myeloproliferative diseases, multiple myeloma and myelodysplastic syndrome;
  3. The tumor has already undergone bone marrow invasion or metastasis;
  4. With active central nervous system metastasis (such as clinical symptoms, cerebral edema, requiring hormone intervention (excluding maintenance of low-dose hormones)), progression of brain metastasis, and carcinomatous meningitis. Subjects with previously treated brain metastases who meet the following conditions may participate in the study: clinical stability has been maintained for ≥ 2 months, and systemic hormone therapy (prednisone or other equivalent doses of hormones at a dose of >10 mg/day) has been discontinued for >4 weeks;
  5. Acute or active bleeding of clinical significance (such as gastrointestinal or central nervous system) within 7 days before screening;
  6. Have a history of any arteriovenous thrombosis within 6 months before screening;
  7. Have a history of major cardiovascular disease within 6 months before screening (such as congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association (NYHA) heart function score III-IV), arrhythmias known to increase the risk of thromboembolic events (atrial fibrillation, etc.), coronary stent implantation, angioplasty or coronary artery bypass grafting);
  8. Accompanying diseases that the investigator believes the investigational drug may cause unnecessary risks of, such as: severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, digestive system diseases, liver and kidney dysfunction diseases, or a family history of mental illness;
  9. Laboratory examination abnormalities during the screening period (baseline), such as:

    1. Blood biochemistry: alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin ≥ 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) (if liver metastasis exists, ALT, AST, total bilirubin can be ≥ 5 × ULN); serum creatinine ≥ 1.5 × ULN;
    2. Blood routine: absolute neutrophil value \<1.5×10\^9/L; hemoglobin \< 80 g/L;
  10. Abnormal electrocardiogram of clinical significance during screening or prolonged QT/QTc interval, such as QTcF ≥ 450ms (male) or 470ms (female); family history of QT prolongation;
  11. Active hepatitis B (hepatitis B virus titer > 1,000 copies/ml or 200IU/ml); hepatitis C virus infection (HCV-RNA Above the detection limit); preventive antiviral treatment other than interferon is allowed. For patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), hepatitis B virus titer> 10,000 copies/ml or 2000IU/ml; human immunodeficiency virus antibody (HIV), syphilis positive;
  12. Received platelet transfusion within 5 days before the first dose;
  13. Anticoagulants (heparin, warfarin, apixaban, bivalirudin, etc.), antiplatelet drugs (clopidogrel, aspirin, etc.), fibrinolytic drugs (urokinase, etc.) were used for prevention or treatment within 1 week before the first dose;
  14. Received other drugs with platelet-raising effects (e.g., caffeic acid tablets, leucogen tablets, aminopeptide tablets, or platelet-raising capsules, etc.) within 1 week before the first dose; received recombinant human thrombopoietin (rh-TPO) or used recombinant human interleukin-11 (rhIL-11), thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO-RA) within 10 days before the first dose or 5 half-lives of the drug (whichever is longer);
  15. Currently receiving or received radiotherapy within 3 months before screening;
