Summary

This multicenter randomized, open-label study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of eltrombopag combining rituximab with eltrombopag in China adult ITP patients .This study was be conducted in adult ITP patients who had not responded to or had relapsed after previous treatment of ITP, including first line therapy and /or splenectomy.

Description

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of eltrombopag combining rituximab treating previously treated ITP patients compared to eltrombopag. The secondary objective was to evaluate the efficacy of eltrombopag combining rituximab in ITP patients with positive autoantibody compared to eltrombopag .In addition, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measure was assessed in all participants.

224 eligible subjects were randomized to either eltrombopag combining rituximab or eltrombopag treatment in 1:1 ratio. 112 enrolled patients are randomly picked up to take eltrombopag combining with rituximab at the indicated dose. 112 enrolled patients are randomly picked up to take eltrombopag at the indicated dose.

The initial dose of eltrombopag administration was an oral 75 mg once daily in all participants .The dose of eltrombopag was adjusted according to the subject platelet count during the period from week 1 to week 24.

Subjects in eltrombopag combining rituximab treatment group received single dose infusion of rituximab 375 mg/m(2) within 14 days after enrollment.

Subjects treated with previous therapy(including but not limited to corticosteroid, azathioprine, danazol, cyclosporin A, mycophenolate mofetil) must have been completed prior to randomization, or must not be increasing a dose after enrollment
No pre-existing cardiac disease within the last 3 months. No arrhythmia known to increase the risk of thrombolic events (e.g. atrial fibrillation), or patients with a Corrected QT interval (QTc) >450msec or QTc >480 for patients with a Bundle Branch Block

White blood cell count, neutrophil absolute value, hemoglobin, within the reference range, with the following exceptions
Hemoglobin: females and males 10.0 g/dl are eligible for inclusion
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) 1500/L (1.5109/L) is required for inclusion
The following blood chemistry test result no exceed normal by more than 20%:alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, creatinine,serum albumin must not be below the lower limit of normal (LLN) by more than 10%

Exclusion Criteria

Any clinical history for hepatitis C infection; chronic hepatitis B infection; or any evidence for active hepatitis at the time of subject screening. Laboratory test shows positive serology for Hepatitis C or Hepatitis B (HB). In addition, if negative for HBsAg but HBcAb positive (regardless of HBsAb status), a HB DNA test will be performed and if positive the subject will be excluded
History of platelet aggregation that prevents reliable measurement of platelet counts
Any clinically relevant abnormality, other than ITP,which in the opinion of the investigator makes the subject unsuitable for participation in the study
