What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This phase 3 trial tests whether adding romiplostim to standard prednisone treatment improves platelet counts in adults with previously untreated primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Participants receive either romiplostim plus prednisone or prednisone alone. The study measures how many people achieve a durable platelet response and how long they stay off additional treatments.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
romiplostim and predniso(lo)ne
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could become a new standard first-line treatment for ITP, reducing the need for long-term steroids and improving platelet counts.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with a moderate size, so results may not confirm benefit. Risks include side effects from both drugs, such as infection or bone marrow changes.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years or adult legal age within country if older than 18 years. * Diagnosis of primary ITP according to the 2019 International Consensus (ICR) that is previously untreated and requires treatment. * Note: The investigator should ensure that the diagnosis of primary ITP is established by excluding other causes of isolated thrombocytopenia, as outlined in the 2019 ICR, which states that the diagnosis of primary ITP is principally based on the exclusion of other causes of isolated thrombocytopenia. * Note: If emergency treatment is necessary, platelet count performed before emergency can be used for study inclusion. * Note: Emergency ITP treatment with any thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs), or splenectomy is not allowed. * Platelet count \< 30 × 10\^9/L or Platelet count \< 50× 10\^9/L with clinically significant bleeding before any medical intervention. Exclusion Criteria: * Life-threatening bleeding at randomization. * Known sensitivity or intolerance to any of the products to be administered during study (eg, uncontrolled diabetes) or to any Escherichia coli-derived product (eg, filgrastim, pegfilgrastim, certain insulins). * Uncontrolled hypertension before randomization. * Abnormal hepatic or renal function at screening. * History of total splenectomy. * Use of concurrent anticoagulation therapy and/or antiplatelet therapy. * Need for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) use and use of NSAIDs within 7 days before randomization. * Venous or arterial thrombotic event within 3 or 6 months, respectively, before randomization. * Other protocol-defined Inclusion/Exclusion may apply.
