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 Results may not be published yet.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

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.

Summary

This study tests all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), a form of vitamin A, in adults with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) whose platelet counts stay low despite steroid treatment. About 192 participants will receive either ATRA or a placebo for 24 weeks. The goal is to see if ATRA can safely raise platelet counts to safer levels.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), also known as tretinoin
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a new treatment option for adults with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) whose platelet counts remain low despite standard steroid therapy.
What could go wrong
This is a phase 3 trial, but it hasn't started recruiting yet. ATRA may not improve platelet counts more than placebo, and side effects like skin dryness or liver issues are possible.

Inclusion Criteria: * Primary ITP if aged ⩾18 years; * With an average of two platelet counts ⩾1 day apart of \<30×10\^9/L during screening and no single platelet count \>35×10\^9/L within 2 weeks before study treatment; * Patients who have previously received at least one first-line standard therapy for ITP (corticosteroid and/or intravenous immunoglobulin) with unsustained efficacy, relapse, intolerance to standard therapy, or insufficient response. Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant or lactating women, and who were possibly pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or who had partners planning to become pregnant; * With active malignancy or a history of malignant tumor; * Having experienced severe bacterial, viral, fungal or parasitic infection within the past 4 weeks; * With a history of symptomatic herpes zoster infection within 12 weeks prior to screening; * Active or chronic HBV, HCV or HIV infection; * Evidence of active tuberculosis; or previous evidence of active tuberculosis without appropriate and documented treatment; or household contact with patients with active tuberculosis without appropriate and documented tuberculosis prophylaxis; * Receipt of live vaccines within the past 12 weeks, or planned live vaccination during the study period; * Prior ATRA therapy; * History of solid organ transplant or planned surgery; * Myelodysplastic syndrome, aplastic anemia or myelofibrosis; * Patients with other diseases were undergoing treatment with immunosuppressants; * Clinically significant thromboembolic events within the past 24 weeks, or ongoing anticoagulant treatment, who are deemed ineligible for the study by the investigator; * History or presence of myocardial infarction, unstable ischemic heart disease, stroke, or NYHA Class IV heart failure; * History or presence of cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurological, neuropsychiatric or any other severe and/or unstable diseases that, in the opinion of the investigator, may pose an unacceptable risk with the investigational product or interfere with the interpretation of study data; * AST \> 2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), ALT \> 2×ULN, TBIL ≥ 1.5×ULN; * WBC \< 2500/µL, neutrophil count \< 1200/µL, lymphocyte count \< 750/µL, hemoglobin \< 9 g/dL; * eGFR \< 50 mL/min/1.73m²; * Other patients deemed unsuitable for enrollment in this study by the investigator.
