Experimental: Optimized rhTPO treatment
The study in a 2:1 randomization ratio (117 subjects to rhTPO group).
|
Drug: rhTPO
initial therapy: rhTPO s.c, 300 or 600U/kg daily based on baseline platelet count; maintenance therapy: rhTPO s.c, 300 ~ 600U/kg every other day depends on platelet count.

Active Comparator: Eltrombopag treatment
The study in a 2:1 randomization ratio (58 subjects to Eltrombopag group).
|
Drug: Eltrombopag
initial therapy: Eltrombopag oral, 25 or 50mg daily based on baseline platelet count; maintenance therapy: Eltrombopag oral, 25 ~ 75mg daily or every other day depends on platelet count.
Other Name: Eltrombopag olamine |
- Median time to achieve platelet count ≥50x10^9/L during 6 weeks observation [ Time Frame: in 6 weeks treatment ]Time from the start of treatment to the first time of achieving a platelet count ≥50x10^9/L without salvage therapy during the first 6 weeks.
- Early response [ Time Frame: after 1 week treatment ]Early response is defined as platelet count ≥ 30×10^9/L and at least doubling baseline at 1 week.
- Initial response [ Time Frame: after 1 month treatment ]Initial response is defined as platelet count ≥ 30×10^9/L and at least doubling baseline at 1 month.
- 6 weeks response [ Time Frame: after 6 weeks treatment ]6 weeks response is defined as platelet count ≥ 30×10^9/L and at least doubling baseline at 6 weeks.
- 3 months response [ Time Frame: after 3 months treatment ]3 months response is defined as platelet count ≥ 30×10^9/L and at least doubling baseline at 3 months.
- Durable response [ Time Frame: after 6 months treatment ]Durable response is defined as platelet count ≥ 30×10^9/L and at least doubling baseline at 6 months.
- Time to treatment failure [ Time Frame: in 6 weeks treatment ]
Treatment failure is defined as:
- a platelet count ≤ 20 x 109/L for 4 consecutive weeks at the highest dose and schedule ; or,
- a major bleeding event; or,
- a change in therapy due to an intolerable side effect or bleeding symptoms (including a minor bleeding event).
- Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: from study start date to the end of follow-up, up to 6 weeks ]treatment-related adverse events.
- Number of subjects with dosage under 600U/kg of rhTPO adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 [ Time Frame: from study start date to the end of follow-up, up to 6 weeks ]Number of subjects with dosage under 600U/kg of rhTPO adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0
- Number of subjects who develop anti-rhTPO antibodies [ Time Frame: from study start date to the end of follow-up, up to 6 weeks ]Number of subjects who develop anti-rhTPO antibodies
- The duration time with platelet count ≥50x10^9/L [ Time Frame: in 6 weeks treatment ]Total duration of time a subject had platelet count ≥50x10^9/L during treatment
