Study summary

This prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled Phase II study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of romiplostim for platelet engraftment after haploidentical or HLA-matched unrelated donor allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Approximately 120 patients aged ≥18 years will be randomized equally to the romiplostim group or the best supportive care group. Romiplostim will be administered subcutaneously at 1 μg/kg once weekly, starting on day +3 after transplantation. The primary outcomes are platelet engraftment rates at days +30 after transplantation.

Read the detailed description

This investigator-initiated, prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled Phase II study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of romiplostim for platelet engraftment after haploidentical or HLA-matched unrelated donor allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).

Approximately 120 patients with hematologic diseases undergoing allo-HSCT will be enrolled and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the romiplostim group or the best supportive care group. Eligible participants must meet protocol-defined inclusion criteria, including age ≥18 years, an ECOG performance status of 0-3, an expected survival of ≥4 months, and adequate hepatic and renal function. Patients with uncontrolled infections or other protocol-defined exclusion criteria will not be eligible. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants before enrollment.

Participants assigned to the romiplostim group will receive romiplostim at a dose of 1 μg/kg by subcutaneous injection once weekly, starting on day +3 after transplantation. Participants in both groups will receive transfusion support and other supportive treatments according to clinical needs and the judgment of treating physicians.

The primary efficacy outcomes are platelet engraftment rates at days +30 after transplantation. Platelet engraftment is defined as a platelet count greater than 20 × 10⁹/L for seven consecutive days without platelet transfusion support.

Secondary outcomes include time to platelet engraftment, time to neutrophil engraftment, disease relapse rate, incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), non-relapse mortality (NRM), overall survival (OS), and the incidence of grade ≥3 adverse events and laboratory abnormalities.

Safety assessments will include the incidence of adverse events, treatment-related adverse events, and adverse events leading to death, treatment discontinuation, or premature withdrawal from the study.

Blood counts and other laboratory assessments will be monitored according to the protocol-defined schedule. The primary data analysis will be performed after the last enrolled participant completes the treatment period and 3 months of follow-up. All participants will continue long-term follow-up to evaluate survival outcomes and other long-term clinical outcomes.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age ≥18 years, regardless of sex.
  • Undergoing haploidentical or fully HLA-matched unrelated donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for a hematologic disease.
  • No severe allergic predisposition.
  • No uncontrolled infection or severe psychological disorder.
  • Hepatic function: (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5 times the (ULN), and ≤2 times ULN.
  • Renal function: creatinine ≤ULN.
  • (ECOG) performance status of 0-3 and an anticipated of ≥4 months.
  • Voluntary participation, with written provided by the participant or their legally authorized representative after fully understanding the study, and willingness and ability to comply with and complete all study procedures.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • Known to the study drug or any to its use.
  • Severe hepatic impairment, defined as or AST ≥5 times .
  • Smoking or chronic alcohol abuse that may interfere with the evaluation of study results.
  • Psychiatric illness or another condition that prevents from being obtained or precludes cooperation with required treatment and examination procedures.
  • Major organ surgery within the preceding six weeks.
  • Any other significant medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric disorder that, in the investigator's judgment, makes the individual unsuitable for study participation.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

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.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

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.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Platelet Engraftment Rate at Day +30 After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

    The proportion of participants who achieve platelet engraftment at day +30 after allo-HSCT will be assessed. Platelet engraftment is defined as a platelet count greater than 20×10⁹/L for 7 consecutive days without platelet transfusion support.

    Time frame: Day +30 after allo-HSCT

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to Platelet Engraftment

    Time from allo-HSCT to platelet engraftment. Platelet engraftment is defined as a platelet count \>20 × 10⁹/L for seven consecutive days without platelet transfusion support.

    Time frame: From transplantation (Day 0) through Day +60

  2. Time to Neutrophil Engraftment

    Time from allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to neutrophil engraftment.

    Time frame: From transplantation (Day 0) through Day +60

  3. Relapse Rate

    The proportion of participants who experience relapse of their underlying hematologic disease after transplantation during the observation period.

    Time frame: From transplantation (Day 0) through 1 year

  4. Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD)

    The proportion of participants who develop graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation during the observation period.

    Time frame: From transplantation (Day 0) through Day 2 years

  5. Non-Relapse Mortality

    The proportion of participants who die without prior relapse of their underlying hematologic disease after transplantation during the observation period.

    Time frame: From transplantation (Day 0) through 2 years

  6. Overall Survival

    Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from the start of study treatment to death from any cause. Participants who are alive at the end of follow-up will be censored at the date they were last known to be alive. Survival status will be assessed by telephone or in-person visits every 2-3 months after completion of study treatment.

    Time frame: From transplantation (Day 0) through 2 years

  7. Incidence of Grade 3 or Higher Adverse Events and Laboratory Abnormalities

    The number and percentage of participants who experience grade 3 or higher adverse events or laboratory abnormalities during study treatment and at the end-of-treatment visit. Clinically significant laboratory abnormalities will be reassessed until resolution or stabilization.

    Time frame: From transplantation (Day 0) through Day +100
