Group/Cohort | Intervention/treatment |

Recombinant human thrombopoietin (rh-TPO) group
Patients who fail previous steroids and eltrombopag and then switch to Rh-TPO will be enrolled. The reason for switch will be recorded. Patients will be given rh-TPO 300 U/kg once daily for 21 days. Rh-TPO will be terminated any time the platelet counts increased above 100 × 10^9/L. The efficacy, safety, and patient/physician preference will be assessed.

Drug: Recombinant human thrombopoietin (rh-TPO)
Patients will be given rh-TPO 300 U/kg once daily for 21 days. |
Eltrombopag group
Patients who fail previous steroids and rh-TPO and then switch to eltrombopag will be enrolled. The reason for switch will be recorded. Patients will be given eltrombopag 50mg once daily for 6 weeks. Eltrombopag will be terminated any time the platelet counts increased above 300× 10^9/L.The efficacy, safety, and patient/physician preference will be assessed.

Drug: Eltrombopag
Patients will be given eltrombopag 50mg once daily for 6 weeks. |
- Response Rate at 6 Weeks After Switching [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]The percentage of patients who have reached platelet count ≥ 50×10^9/L at 6 weeks after switching.
- Treatments Associated Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]Adverse event/serious adverse event associated with study drugs during 6 weeks after switching
- Reasons of Switching [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]Reasons of switching eltrombopag and rh-TPO will be recorded, including lack of efficacy, patient preference, side effects, platelet count fluctuation
- Number of Participants With Bleeding Events [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]Number of participants with bleeding events of the two groups during 6 weeks after switching
- TOR (Time to Response) [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]The time to achieve platelet count ≥ 50×10^9/L after switching.
- DOR (Duration of Response) [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]The duration of achieving platelet count ≥ 50×10^9/L after switching.
