Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Decitabine has been reported to have a clinically significant, often long lasting effect on the platelet count in myelodysplastic syndromes(MDS). It is also reported that decitabine could increase platelet counts by enhancing megakaryocyte maturation and platelet release. Immune thrombocytopenia(ITP) is known as an immune-mediated acquired disease characterized by transient or persistent decrease of the platelet count. However, refractory ITP is lacking of effective treatments and the efficacy of decitabine in ITP remains poorly understood. Data from this study may provide some idea of decitabine in the treatment of ITP.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators are undertaking a multicenter, single-arm study of primary ITP adult patients from 9 medical centers in China. All the participants are selected to receive low-dose of decitabine treatment (given intravenously at a dose of 3.5mg/m2 for 3 days per cycle for 3 cycles). Platelet count, bleeding and other symptoms were evaluated before and after treatment. Adverse events are also recorded throughout the study.
