About this study

A single-center, open-label, dose-escalation study to assess the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of MegaLT for treating refractory thrombocytopenia following radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or transplantation.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age between 4 and 75 years (inclusive) at screening; gender is not restricted;
  • Diagnosed with refractory thrombocytopenia following radiotherapy/chemotherapy or transplantation;
  • Adequate organ function:Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) < 2.5*upper limit of normal (ULN); Serum creatinine < 1.5* ULN; Total bilirubin level < 1.5* ULN; Coagulation function: International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5* ULN, Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) ≤ 1.5*ULN; Hemoglobin ≥ 60 g/L, or hemoglobin maintained at this level after transfusion; Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.0×10^9/L;
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2;
  • Voluntarily participating in the clinical trial, with full understanding of the trial details and having signed the informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients with any malignant tumor relapse;
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women;
  • Life expectancy less than 3 months;
  • Severe infections or severe concurrent conditions such as heart, liver, lung, kidney, neurological, or metabolic diseases;
  • History of severe thrombotic events or known thrombotic risk factors. Exceptions: Participants for whom the potential benefits of the study, as determined by the investigator, outweigh the potential risks of thromboembolic events;
  • Uncontrolled infectious or other serious diseases, including but not limited to infections (e.g., HIV positive), congestive heart failure, unstable angina, arrhythmias, psychiatric disorders, or conditions that limit the ability to meet study requirements or pose unpredictable risks as judged by the primary physician;
  • Active hepatitis B or C infection;
  • Refractory thrombocytopenia post-transplant with Grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) [according to NIH standards] or severe chronic GVHD (NIH 2014 standards);
  • History of organ transplantation or planned organ transplantation (excluding hematopoietic stem cell transplantation);
  • Participation in another clinical study within 30 days prior to the baseline visit, involving any investigational drug or device; observational studies are allowed;
  • Any other conditions deemed by the investigator to make the participant unsuitable for the clinical trial.

Treatment and study plan

MegaLT injection

Biological

Three dose groups were set: 1×10^6/kg, 5×10^6/kg, and 1×10^7/kg. The dose escalation was carried out in ascending order using a "3+3" design. To ensure participant safety, enrollment followed a "1+2" rule. Specifically, the first participant in each dose group received the cell infusion and was observed for 14 days. If no dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was observed, the remaining two participants could then be enrolled and receive cell therapy at the same dose level.

Primary outcomes

  1. Adverse Event(AE)

    Time frame: From the date of initial infusion to 1 year after initial infusion

    Number of treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

  2. Incidence of bleeding events

    Time frame: From the date of initial infusion to 1 year after initial infusion

    The incidence of bleeding events after initial infusion

  3. The cumulative incidence and grade of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) including acute and chronic GVHD

    Time frame: From the date of initial infusion to 1 year after initial infusion

    The occurrence incidence and grade of GVHD after transplantation

  4. The probability of GVHD-free, relapse-free survival(GRFS)

    Time frame: From the date of initial infusion to 1 year after initial infusion

    The composite endpoint of GRFS was defined as the first events occurring after transplantation among Grade III to IV aGVHD, moderate to severe cGVHD, relapse, or death for any reason.

  5. Overall response rate (ORR)

    Time frame: 4 weeks after initial infusion

    Percentage of participants achieved Complete response(CR) or Partial response(PR)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall response rate (ORR)

    Time frame: 1, 2 and 8 weeks after initial infusion

    Percentage of participants achieved Complete Response(CR) or Partial Response(PR)

  2. Complete remission (CR) rate

    Time frame: 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks after initial infusion

    CR was defined as a platelet count ≥ 50×10^9/L without platelet transfusions for 7 consecutive days

  3. partial response rate (PR)

    Time frame: 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks after initial infusion

    PR was defined as a platelet count < 50×10^9/L but above the baseline level at enrollment, with a sustained increase for 7 consecutive days without platelet transfusions

  4. Changes in platelet counts

    Time frame: before treatment and at 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks after treatment

    Changes in platelet counts before treatment and at 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks after treatment

  5. Median time of platelet count ≥ 50×10^9/L

    Time frame: 1 year after initial infusion

    Platelet count ≥50×10^9/L for 3 consecutive days without platelet transfusions for 7 consecutive days

  6. Median time of platelet count ≥ 100×10^9/L

    Time frame: 1 year after initial infusion

    Platelet count ≥50×10^9/L for 3 consecutive days without platelet transfusions for 7 consecutive days

  7. Total platelet transfusion during 4 weeks of treatment

    Time frame: 4 weeks after initial infusion

    Total platelet transfusion during 4 weeks of treatment

  8. neutrophil reconstitution

    Time frame: 1 year after initial infusion

    Neutrophil engraftment time was defined as the first of three consecutive days during which the neutrophil count was at least 0.5×10^9/L

  9. erythroid reconstitution

    Time frame: 1 year after initial infusion

    Red blood count (RBC) engraftment time was defined as the first day of achieving a reticulocyte count greater than 1% for 3 consecutive days.

  10. Megakaryocyte levels in bone marrow smears

    Time frame: before treatment and 2 and 4 weeks after treatment

    Megakaryocyte levels in bone marrow smears
