New drug aims to fix chemo side effect in breast cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07162519
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a drug called romiplostim N01 in 68 breast cancer patients whose platelet counts dropped too low due to chemotherapy. The goal is to see if weekly injections can bring platelet levels back up within two weeks, so patients can safely continue their cancer treatment. The drug is given for up to four weeks, and dosing stops once platelets reach a safe level.
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 way to manage chemotherapy-induced low platelets in breast cancer patients, allowing them to continue their cancer treatment without delays.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with no control group, so results may not be definitive. The drug may not work for everyone, and side effects are possible.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Signed informed consent form must be obtained prior to enrollment; 2. Aged 18-75 years; 3. Patients with histologically or pathologically confirmed breast cancer; 4. Breast cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CTIT); 5. No prior treatment with romiplostim or romiplostim N01 within 3 months; 6. ECOG PS score: 0-2; 7. Platelet count \<75×10⁹/L; 8. Expected survival period ≥12 weeks at screening; 9. Subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use reliable contraception throughout the study period (including male or female condoms, contraceptive foam, gel, film, cream, suppositories, abstinence, or intrauterine devices, etc.). Exceptions include female subjects who have undergone hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or postmenopausal status for over 1 year, and male subjects who have undergone bilateral vasectomy or ligation; 10. Voluntarily participate in the study, sign informed consent, and demonstrate good compliance. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Presence of hematopoietic system diseases other than chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT), including but not limited to leukemia, primary immune thrombocytopenia, myeloproliferative disorders, multiple myeloma, and myelodysplastic syndromes; 2. Platelet reduction due to causes other than CIT within 6 months prior to screening, including but not limited to chronic liver disease, hypersplenism, infection, or hemorrhage; 3. Bone marrow infiltration or bone marrow metastasis; 4. Prior radiotherapy to the pelvis, spine, or large-field bone irradiation within 3 months before screening, or current/scheduled radiotherapy; 5. History of severe cardiovascular diseases within 6 months prior to screening, such as congestive heart failure (NYHA Class III-IV), arrhythmias known to increase thromboembolic risk (e.g., atrial fibrillation), post-coronary stent implantation, angioplasty, or coronary artery bypass grafting; 6. Clinical manifestations of severe hemorrhage within 2 weeks before screening, such as gastrointestinal or central nervous system bleeding; 7. Brain tumors or brain metastases; 8. Conditions requiring emergency treatment, such as superior vena cava syndrome or spinal cord compression; 9. Absolute neutrophil count \<1.0×10⁹/L or hemoglobin \<80 g/L (use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, red blood cell transfusions, or EPO therapy per clinical practice is allowed); 10. Significant liver dysfunction: For patients without liver metastases, ALT/AST \>3×ULN (upper limit of normal) or TBIL \>3×ULN; for patients with liver metastases, ALT/AST ≥5×ULN or TBIL ≥5×ULN; 11. Renal dysfunction: Serum creatinine ≥1.5×ULN or eGFR ≤60 mL/min (calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula); 12. Known or expected hypersensitivity or intolerance to romiplostim N01 or excipients of rhTPO; 13.HIV-infected patients; 14.Pregnant or lactating women; 15.Participation in any other clinical trial involving investigational drugs or devices within 3 months prior to screening; 16.Other situations deemed by the investigator to pose significant risks to the subject's health or safety, or potentially affecting efficacy evaluation.
