New weekly drug aims to fix Chemo-Induced low platelets
NCT ID NCT06759636
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new drug called romiplostim N01, given as a weekly shot, against a standard daily shot (rhIL-11) for cancer patients whose platelet counts drop due to treatment. About 88 adults with various cancers and low platelets will be randomly assigned to one of the two drugs. The main goal is to see which drug raises platelet counts faster and more safely.
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 more effective and convenient weekly injection to manage low platelets caused by cancer therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small Phase 3 trial (88 people), and the drug may not prove superior to the existing daily injection. Risks include potential side effects like bone marrow changes or blood clots.

Exclusion Criteria: * 1\. Platelet values at screening or baseline were ≤10×10\^9/L; * 2.Participants with a history of any hematological malignancy,including but not limited to leukemia, primary immune thrombocytopenia, myeloproliferative diseases, multiple myeloma, and myelodysplastic syndrome; * 3.Participants had a history of chronic platelet or bleeding disorders,or screening for thrombocytopenia caused by causes other than CIT within the first 6 months, including but not limited to chronic liver disease, splenic hyperfunction, infection, and bleeding; * 4.Bone marrow invasion or metastasis; * 5.Have received pelvic and spinal radiation therapy, as well as bone field radiation therapy, or are currently/expected to receive radiation therapy within the three months prior to screening; * 6.Brain tumors or brain metastases; * 7.Screening for a history of severe cardiovascular disease within the first 6 months, such as congestive heart failure (NYHA heart function score III-IV), known arrhythmias that increase the risk of thromboembolism, such as atrial fibrillation, after coronary stent implantation, angioplasty, and coronary artery bypass grafting; * 8.Any history of arterial or venous thrombosis occurring within the first 6 months of screening; * 9.Screening for clinical manifestations of severe bleeding within the first two weeks, such as gastrointestinal or central nervous system bleeding; * 10.Neutrophil absolute value \< 1.0 × 10\^9/L, hemoglobin \< 80g/L, allowing the use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factors and red blood cells that comply with clinical norms EPO infusion therapy * 11.Significant abnormalities in liver function: patients without liver metastasis, ALT/AST\>3ULN (upper limit of normal value), TBIL\>3ULN; Patients with liver metastasis are present, ALT/AST≥5ULN,TBIL≥5ULN; * 12.Renal dysfunction: blood creatinine ≥ 1.5ULN or eGFR ≤ 60 ml/min (Cockcroft Gault formula); * 13.Received thrombopoietin receptor agonists, recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO), or recombinant human interleukin-11 (rhIL-11) within 5 half-lives of the drug prior to screening.
