About this study
Official title: Multicenter Randomized Controlled Study of Efficacy, Safety and Immunogenicity of GP40141 (GEROPHARM, Russia) Compared With Nplate® (Amgen, the Netherlands) in Patients With Persistent or Early Immune Thrombocytopenia
The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate equivalent efficacy and comparable safety of the drug GP40141 (GEROPHARM, Russia) in comparison with the drug Nplate® (Amgen, the Netherlands). the main questions are
- Assess the effectiveness of GP40141 in comparison with Nplate®.
- Assess the immunogenicity of GP40141 in comparison with the drug Nplate®.
- Assess the safety of GP40141 in comparison with the drug Nplate®.
- Assess the safety of changing romiplostim and eltrombopag to GP40141.
- Assess the pharmacokinetic parameters of the study drugs in patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia.
Participants divided into 2 cohorts (naïve or treated with a thrombopoietin receptor agonist) will receive romiplostim and platelet response, immune response and adverse reactions will be assessed.
Read the detailed description
The study will be conducted in adult patients with persistent or chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia. Patients both naïve to treatment with a thrombopoietin receptor agonist (cohort 1) and those who have previously received therapy (cohort 2) will be included.
Cohort 1:
Adult steroid-dependent or steroid-refractory patients with persistent or chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia (PIT) with or without a history of splenectomy who have not previously received thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO-RA) therapy.
Cohort 2:
Adult patients with persistent or chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia receiving TPO-RA (romiplostim or eltrombopag) for ≥12 weeks and with sustained response status at screening.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| GP40141 | Experimental | Lyophilized powder for solution 250 mcg in vials is diluted in sterile water for injection to a concentration of 500 mcg/ml. Administer once a week.
Cohort 1 Starting dose of romiplostim is 1 mcg/kg actual body weight. The weekly dose of romiplostim is increased in increments of 1 mcg/kg body weight until the patient's platelet count reaches ≥50 x 10*9/L. Platelet counts are assessed weekly.
Cohort 2
* For subjects receiving Nplate®, a switch to GP40141 at an equivalent dose is recommended 7±2 days after the last Nplate® administration. The transition is equidosal since the drugs contain the same active ingredient.
* For patients receiving eltrombopag or Etrombopag-29F® (Pharmproekt, Russia)), it is recommended to switch to GP40141 at an initial dose of 1 mcg/kg the day after the last dose of eltrombopag.
The maintenance dose, dose adjustment, and maximum dose are consistent for both cohorts. Duration of therapy with study drugs will be 26 weeks. Receives: Drug: GP404141 |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing GP404141 and Nplate in people with Drug Effect and Safety Issues, run by Geropharm at 6 sites in Russia.
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 10 inclusion and 33 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 6 sites in Russia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Proportion of subjects with platelet response (time frame: 10 weeks). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06497036, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 Jul 2024.
