Daratumumab as a Treatment for Adult Immune Thrombocytopenia (The DART Study)
A multicenter clinical, open-label total dose-escalating phase II study with safety run-in to explore the clinical activity, total dosage, and safety of daratumumab in adult ITP patients who have not responded adequately or relapsed after corticosteroids and at least one second-line therapy including rituximab and/or TPO-RA.
• Male or female aged ≥18 years.
• Primary ITP with a platelet count of ≤30x109/L measured within 2 weeks prior to inclusion with failure to achieve response or relapse after corticosteroid therapy, and at least one second-line therapy including rituximab (last infusion ≥ 24 weeks before study inclusion) and/or TPO-RA. The dose of steroids or/and TPO-RAs (romiplostim, eltrombopag and avatrombopag) has not been changed during the last 2 weeks preceding the inclusion. For the safety run-in phase, a platelet count of 15-30x 109/L will be required.
• Signed and dated written informed consent.
• Females of child-bearing potential accepting to follow effective contraceptive methods for at least 24 weeks following the administration of first daratumumab injection. A man who has not had a vasectomy and who is sexually active with a woman of childbearing potential must agree to use a barrier method of birth control e.g., a condom with spermicidal foam/film/gel/cream/suppository, and all men must also not donate sperm during the study and for 3 months following discontinuation of Daratumumab
