New hope for young cancer patients: drug may fix Chemo-Related low platelets
NCT ID NCT07043894
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a drug called romiplostim N01 in children, adolescents, and young adults (ages 6-24) with cancer who develop low platelet counts from chemotherapy. The drug is given as a weekly shot to help the body produce more platelets. The goal is to see if it can safely and quickly bring platelet levels back up, which could reduce bleeding risks and help patients complete their cancer treatment. The study involves 50 participants and will monitor for side effects like blood clots.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- romiplostim N01 (a platelet-boosting drug)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a safe and effective way to quickly restore platelet counts in young cancer patients, reducing bleeding risks and allowing chemotherapy to continue on schedule.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase (Phase 2) study with no comparison group, so results may not be definitive. The drug may not work for everyone and could cause side effects like blood clots or increased bleeding.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Voluntary participation with signed informed consent. 2. Aged 6-24 years, any gender. 3. ECOG performance status 0-2. 4. Histologically/cytologically confirmed non-myeloid malignancy requiring high-intensity chemotherapy with ≥1 myelosuppressive agent. 5. Patients with potential curative opportunity eligible for standard therapy. 6. Chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (platelets \<75×10⁹/L). 7. Anticipated survival ≥8 months. 8. Planned ≥2 additional chemotherapy cycles (21-/28-day cycles). 9. Laboratory parameters meeting: * Renal function: Cr ≤1.5×ULN; Ccr ≥55 mL/min. * Hepatic function: * Total bilirubin ≤1.5×ULN; ALT/AST ≤3×ULN; * For liver metastasis/cholangiocarcinoma: bilirubin ≤3×ULN, transaminases ≤5×ULN. 10. No participation in other drug trials within 4 weeks. 11. Good compliance with efficacy/safety follow-up per protocol. 12. Absence of severe complications (e.g., active GI bleeding/perforation, jaundice, obstruction, non-cancer fever \>38°C). 13. Ability to comprehend and sign informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Hematologic disorders (non-CIT etiology): AML, ITP, MDS, MPN, multiple myeloma, etc. 2. Non-CIT thrombocytopenia within 6 months (e.g., chronic liver disease, hypersplenism, infection, hemorrhage). 3. Known hypersensitivity to romiplostim N01 or excipients (cellulose-lactose, L-HPC, magnesium stearate, film coating). 4. Refractory cytopenias: * Hemoglobin \<50 g/L despite RBC/EPO; * ANC \<1.0×10⁹/L despite G-CSF. 5. Pelvic/spinal/large-field radiotherapy within 3 months. 6. Arterial/venous thrombosis within 3 months. 7. Severe cardiovascular disease (NYHA Class III-IV, arrhythmia with thromboembolic risk, post-CABG/stent) within 6 months. 8. Use of rhTPO, rhIL-11, or TPO-RAs (eltrombopag/avatrombopag/hetrombopag) within 2 weeks. 9. Investigator-assessed risks compromising safety/efficacy evaluation.
