Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ripertamab in combination with Eltrombopag compared to Eltrombopag alone for patients with Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) who have not responded to or have relapsed after first-line steroid therapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups and followed for 52 weeks to assess response rates and safety.

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial designed to compare the effects of Ripertamab plus Eltrombopag versus Eltrombopag monotherapy in adults with ITP. The study will enroll approximately 78 participants, aged 18 to 80 years, who have had an inadequate response to or relapsed after first-line steroid therapy. The primary outcome measure is the sustained response rate at 12 weeks post-treatment initiation. Secondary outcomes include overall response rate, complete response rate, median time to response, median sustained response time, and safety. Participants will undergo regular blood tests and clinical assessments throughout the study period.

Study Groups

Eltrombopag/Ripertamab

Eltrombopag (starting at 2.5mg once daily, 28 days, adjusted based on platelet count),Ripertamab (375 mg/m² BSA on Day 1)，If the participant remains in remission at the 3-month, an additional intravenous dose of 375 mg/m² BSA Ripertamab is administered

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Ripertamab/Eltrombopag

Intervention Type: COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Ripertamab, a novel anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, in combination with Eltrombopag . Ripertamab is administered intravenously at a dose of 375 mg/m² BSA on Day 1 . If the participant remains in remission at the 3-month mark, an additional intravenous dose of 375 mg/m² Ripertamab is administered. Eltrombopag are given orally at an initial dose of 2.5 mg once daily, with dosage adjustments made every two weeks based on platelet count response, for a total treatment duration of up to Day 28.
