The efficacy and safety of recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) in children and adolescent patients with chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) remains unclear. A multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III trial was performed. Patients aged 6-17 years, diagnosed with ITP and resistant or relapsed to corticosteroid treatment were included. For the trial, part 1 was exploratory and part 2 was the main analysis, with part 1 determining whether part 2 was stratified by age. Patients in part 1 were treated with rhTPO (the 6- to 11-/12- to 17-year-old groups; 1:1). Patients in part 2 were randomized (3:1) to receive either rhTPO treatment or placebo. Patients received rhTPO or placebo at a dose of 300 U/kg once daily for up to 14 days. A total of 68 patients were included [part 1 (12 patients), part 2 (56 patients)]. The total response rate (TRR) in part 1 was 50.0% (95% CI: 21.09%-78.91%). For part 2, the TRR was 58.5% (95% CI: 42.11%-73.68%) and 13.3% (95% CI: 1.66%-40.46%) in the rhTPO and placebo groups (FAS) respectively. The difference in TRR between the rhTPO group and placebo group was 45.2% (95% CI: 22.33%-68.08%) and 44.6% (95% CI: 21.27%-67.85%) on the FAS and per-protocol set (PPS), respectively, which indicates the superiority of rhTPO treatment.
重组人血小板生成素(rhTPO)在儿童和青少年慢性原发性免疫性血小板减少症(ITP)患者中的疗效和安全性尚不清楚。开展了一项多中心、随机、双盲、安慰剂对照的III期试验。纳入年龄在6至17岁、诊断为ITP且对皮质类固醇治疗耐药或复发的患者。对于该试验,第1部分为探索性试验,第2部分为主要分析,第1部分确定第2部分是否按年龄分层。第1部分的患者接受rhTPO治疗(6至11/12至17岁组;1:1)。第2部分的患者随机分组(3:1)接受rhTPO治疗或安慰剂。患者接受rhTPO或安慰剂,剂量为300 U/kg,每日一次,最多14天。共纳入68例患者[第1部分(12例患者),第2部分(56例患者)]。第1部分的总缓解率(TRR)为50.0%(95%CI:21.09%-78.91%)。对于第2部分,rhTPO组和安慰剂组(全分析集)的TRR分别为58.5%(95%CI:42.11%-73.68%)和13.3%(95%CI:1.66%-40.46%)。rhTPO组和安慰剂组在全分析集和符合方案集(PPS)上TRR的差异分别为45.2%(95%CI:22.33%-68.08%)和44.6%(95%CI:21.27%-67.85%),这表明rhTPO治疗具有优越性。
