NCT Number: NCT07334093

A Study of Hetrombopag Combined With rhTPO in the Treatment of Cancer Therapy-induced Thrombocytopenia (CTIT) in Solid Tumor Patients.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hetrombopag plus rhTPO versus hetrombopag monotherapy for CTIT in solid-tumor patients.

Participants 204 histologically- or cytologically-confirmed solid-tumor patients with ≥grade 3 thrombocytopenia following anti-cancer treatment.

Design

Open-label, multicenter, randomized controlled phase II study. Patients are randomized 1:1 into two arms:

Experimental arm (N=102):

rhTPO 15,000 IU/day subcutaneously + hetrombopag 7.5 mg/day orally, both starting on Day 1 for up to 14 days.

Control arm (N=102):

Hetrombopag 7.5 mg/day orally starting on Day 1 for up to 14 days. Stopping & Rescue Rules Stop study drug if PLT ≥100×10⁹/L or rises ≥50×10⁹/L from baseline. If PLT ≤10×10⁹/L or <20×10⁹/L with bleeding risk, give rescue therapy (platelet transfusion or investigator-chosen alternative).

Primary Endpoint Proportion of patients achieving PLT ≥100×10⁹/L or an increase ≥50×10⁹/L from baseline within 14 days of treatment.

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

Inclusion criteria

  • Age 18-75 years (inclusive), both sexes eligible.
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed malignant solid tumor (e.g., lung, breast, gastric, colorectal, genitourinary cancers, etc.).
  • Currently receiving anti-cancer therapy: chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immuno-chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or combinations.
  • Grade ≥3 cancer-therapy-induced thrombocytopenia (PLT <50×10⁹/L).
  • ECOG performance status 0-1.
  • Estimated life expectancy ≥12 weeks.
  • Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days before first dose and not be breastfeeding; they must agree to use effective contraception from enrollment through 7 days after the last study drug. Men with partners of child-bearing potential must be surgically sterilized or agree to use effective contraception during the same period and must not donate sperm.
  • Willing to participate, able to provide written informed consent, and expected to comply with the study protocol.

Exclusion criteria

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
  • Individuals unable to understand the nature of the study or who have not given informed consent.
  • History of any arterial or venous thrombosis (stroke, transient ischemic attack, myocardial infarction, deep-vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism) or clinical/laboratory evidence of a hypercoagulable disorder.
  • Cardiac disease within 3 months before screening: grade 3/4 congestive heart failure, arrhythmia requiring medication, myocardial infarction, conditions predisposing to thrombo-embolism (e.g., atrial fibrillation), or QTc prolongation.
  • Thrombocytopenia attributed to: concurrent chemoradiotherapy, non-anti-cancer therapy, oxaliplatin-induced sinusoidal injury, definite immune-mediated thrombocytopenia, severe bleeding symptoms, refractory persistent thrombocytopenia, or bone-marrow involvement proven by biopsy in patients with bone metastases.
  • Significant hepatic impairment:
  • No liver metastases: ALT/AST > 3 × ULN or TBL > 3 × ULN.
  • Liver metastases present: ALT/AST ≥ 5 × ULN or TBL ≥ 5 × ULN.
  • Known or anticipated hypersensitivity/intolerance to TPO-receptor agonists or any ingredient of hetrombopag ethanolamine tablets.
  • Concomitant use of other agents that may affect platelet count (e.g., traditional Chinese medicines, other thrombopoietic agents, antiplatelet drugs).
  • Receipt of any TPO-receptor agonist (eltrombopag, romiplostim, etc.), recombinant human TPO, or recombinant IL-11 within 1 month before screening.
  • Platelet transfusion within 3 days before randomization/first dose.
  • Any condition that, in the investigator's opinion, renders the patient unsuitable for enrollment.
