About this study

Official title: The Combination of Oral Zanubrutinib and High-dose Dexamethasone vs High-dose Dexamethasone as First-line Treatment in Adult Immune Thrombocytopenia: A Multicenter, Randomized, Open-label Trial

Randomized, open-label, multicenter study to compare the efficacy and safety of zanubrutinib plus high-dose dexamethasone compared to high-dose dexamethasone monotherapy for the first-line treatment of adults with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).

Read the detailed description

The investigators are undertaking a parallel group, multicenter, randomized controlled trial of patients with ITP in China. Patients were randomized to Zanubrutinib + high-dose dexamethasone and high-dose dexamethasone monotherapy group. Platelet count, bleeding and other symptoms were evaluated before and after treatment. Adverse events are also recorded throughout the study.

Being tested
Zanubrutinib, Dexamethasone
Keywords
BTK inhibitor, High-dose Dexamethasone
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sustained response

    The maintenance of platelet count ≥ 30 x 10^9/L, at least 2-fold increase of the baseline count, the absence of bleeding, and no need for rescue medication at the 12-month follow-up

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Initial complete response

    Initial complete response (CR) was defined as platelet count more than 100,000 per cubic millimeter and absence of bleeding.

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Initial response

    Initial response (R) as platelet count more than 30,000 per cubic millimeter and at least 2-fold increase of the baseline count and absence of bleeding.

    Measured: 1 month

  3. Number of patients with bleeding

    Number of patients with bleeding complication ( WHO bleeding score).

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Number of patients with adverse events

    Number of patients with adverse events

    Measured: 12 months

  5. Time to response (TTR)

    The time from starting treatment to time of achievement of CR or R

    Measured: 12 months

  6. Duration of response (DOR)

    Duration of response at 12-month follow up

    Measured: 12 months

  7. Loss of response

    Platelet counts below 100 x 109/L or bleeding (from CR) or platelet counts below 30 x 109/L, less than 2-fold increase of baseline platelet count or bleeding (from R)

    Measured: 12 month

  8. Durable response

    Platelet count ≥30 X 10^9/L and at least doubling of the baseline count at 6 mo

    Measured: 6 months

  9. Early response

    Platelet count ≥30 X 10^9/L and at least doubling baseline at 1 wk

    Measured: 1 week

  10. Remission

    Platelet count >100 X 10^9/L at 12 month

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Zanubrutinib and Dexamethasone in people with Immune Thrombocytopenia, run by Peking University People's Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 May 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Xiaohui Zhang, MD (+8613522338836, zhangxh100@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sustained response (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 May 2022.
