Efficacy and Safety of TPO-RAs Combined With Anti-CD20 Antibody in the Treatment of Adult Immune Thrombocytopenia With Autoantibodies Failed to First-line Treatment: a Prospective, Open-label, Nonrandomized, Multicenter Clinical Trial
This prospective, open-label, nonrandomized, multicenter clinical trial aims at comparing the efficacy and safety of combined use of TPO-RAs with low-dose anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody vs. the best available therapy（BAT）in adult immune thrombocytopenia with autoantibodies failed (due to intolerance or resistance) to first-line treatment.
• The patients have provided written informed consent prior to enrollment.
• 18-65 years old.
• Diagnosed as ITP secondary to connective tissue diseases (including but not limited to systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis), primary ITP with positive antinuclear antibody but not up to the diagnostic criteria of connective tissue diseases, primary Evans syndrome, Evans syndrome secondary to connective tissue diseases, and primary ITP with positive Coomb's test but not up to the diagnostic criteria of Evans syndrome.
• Platelet count\<30 ×10\^9/L at screening.
• Patients who have received at least one first-line treatment of ITP (glucocorticoid and / or intravenous immunoglobulin) in the past, failed (poor efficacy, or failure to maintain efficacy, or relapse), or had contraindications, intolerance, or refusal of first-line treatment.
• Treatment for ITP (including but not limited to glucocorticoids, recombinant human thrombopoietin (rTPO)) must be completed before enrollment, or the dose must be stable or in a phase of reduction within 2 weeks before enrollment. Immunosuppressants (including but not limited to azathioprine, danazol, cyclosporine A, mycophenolate mofetil) must be finished before entering the group, or the dose must be stable or in the reduction period within 3 months before entering the group.
• Effective contraceptive measures will be taken during the clinical trial.
