Brief Summary:
Thrombopoietin Receptor Agonists (TPO-ra) are novel treatments for patients with refractory Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP). Rh-TPO and eltrombopag increase the number of platelets through different mechanism. If there is cross-resistance between 2 drugs for the treatment of adult ITP is still no answer. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of switching eltrombopag and Rh-TPO in adults with ITP.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Corticosteroid-resistant or Relapsed ITP Drug: Eltrombopag Drug: Recombinant human thrombopoietin (rh-TPO)

Detailed Description:
Non-interventional study. Patients who fail previous steroids and receive rh-TPO and then switch to EPAG or vice versa will be enrolled. The reason for switch will be recorded. Patients in the rh-TPO group were given rh-TPO 300 U/kg once daily for 21 days, and those in the eltrombopag group were given eltrombopag 50mg once daily for 6 weeks. Rh-TPO and eltrombopag were terminated any time the platelet counts increased above 100 × 10^9/L in the rh-TPO group and 300 × 10^9/L in the eltrombopag group. The efficacy, safety, and patient/physician preference will be assessed and compared between the two agents.

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.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. 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.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Treatments Associated Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
    Adverse event/serious adverse event associated with study drugs during 6 weeks after switching

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. TOR (Time to Response) [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
    The time to achieve platelet count ≥ 50×10^9/L after switching.

  5. DOR (Duration of Response) [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
    The duration of achieving platelet count ≥ 50×10^9/L after switching.
