NCT02760251 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE4 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study aims to investigate immunomodulatory effects of thrombopoietin-receptor Agonist (TPO-RA) in patients with primary ITP, who failed first-line therapy or who became intolerant to it. It is hypothesized that the early phase of this autoimmune disease may exhibit a stronger immunomodulatory potential in response to a stimulus, such as romiplostim. Such a process may subsequently be capable to induce regulatory mechanisms or tolerance.

Romiplostim (a thrombopoietin-receptor agonist, TPO-RA) will be administered subcutaneously once weekly over 22 weeks with a starting dose of 1mcg/kg body weight. The dose will be adjusted based on platelet counts as described in the summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC).
