Brief Summary

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

This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label Phase 2 clinical study. It is aimed to enroll 27 essential thrombocytopenia (ET) patients who are resistant to or intolerant of hydroxyurea(HU). Eligible patients will be randomized to receive either Peginterferon α-2b 135 mcg or Peginterferon α-2b 180 mcg at a ratio of 1:2, and all subjects will go through a target treatment period (Weeks 1 \~ Week 48), an extension treatment period (Weeks 49 \~ Week 96) and a follow-up period (Weeks 97 \~ Week 100). Pharmacokinetics, safety, efficacy will be evaluated.

Peginterferon α-2b 135 mcg dose group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Peginterferon α-2b injection

Intervention Type DRUG

Peginterferon α-2b injection, 135 mcg, s.c., once a week, during the targeted treatment period (the first 48 week), peginterferon α-2b dose is depended on the patient's response and tolerability during the extension treatment (week 49 to week 96).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Peginterferon α-2b injection

Intervention Type DRUG

Peginterferon α-2b injection, 180 mcg, s.c., once a week, during the targeted treatment period (the first 48 week), peginterferon α-2b dose is depended on the patient's response and tolerability during the extension treatment (week 49 to week 96).

2. Platelet count greater than 400\*10\^9/L while white blood cell (WBC) count lower than 2.5\*10\^9/L, or platelet count greater than 400\*10\^9 /L while hemoglobin lower than 100 g/L at any dose of HU;
3. Presence of HU-related toxicities at any dose of HU: e.g. ulcers in legs, or any unacceptable skin mucosal manifestations or fever;
* Platelet counts \> 450\*10\^9/L at screening;
* Neutrophil count ≥1.0\*10\^9/L at screening;
* Haemoglobin ≥11 g/dL at screening for males and 10 g/dL for females at screening;

* Both male and female subjects must agree take an appropriate contraceptive method, including:

1. Male subjects: must agree to use reliable contraception from inform consent until 6 months following the last dose of the study drug.
2. Female subjects: Must meet at least one of the following conditions:

i) Women without childbearing potential; ii) Women of childbearing potential: no pregnant or breastfeed, negative in blood pregnancy test within 4 days prior to the first dosing, and must agree to use reliable contraception from inform consent until 6 months following the last dose of the study drug;
* Subjects understand the objective, characteristic, method and possible adverse reactions of the study, voluntarily participate in this study, and sign informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

* History of any other myeloproliferative tumors, or evidence of the presence of any other myeloproliferative tumors;
* Contraindications or hypersensitivities to interferons of any of its excipients;
* Severe medical conditions or serious comorbidities that the investigators determined could jeopardize the safety or protocol adherence, e.g. New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] Class III-IV, congestive heart failure, symptomatic arrhythmias,pulmonary hypertension;
* History of major organ transplantation;
* Documented autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease at screening, e.g. medication un-controlled thyroid dysfunction, autoimmune hepatitis, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, scleroderma, psoriasis, or any autoimmune arthritis;
* Clinically significant pulmonary infiltration, infectious pneumonia, and non-infectious pneumonia at screening that, in the investigator's opinion, would jeopardize the safety of the subject or their compliance with the protocol;
* Infection with systemic clinical manifestations at screening, e.g., bacteria, fungi, human immunodeficiency virus, excluding hepatitis B and/or C;
* Evidence of severe retinopathy, e.g., cytomegalovirus retinitis, symptomatic macular degeneration, or clinically significant eye disease, e.g. due to diabetes mellitus or hypertension;
