Interventions

  • rituximab; recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) — DRUG
    patients in recombination treatment group take Rituximab( intravenously ,100 mg weekly for 4 consecutive weeks); in combination with Rh-TPO( subcutaneously , 300U/kg for 14 consecutive days,followed by flexible treating dosage so as to keep the platelet count above 50×10\^9/L until the 29th day)
  • Rituximab — DRUG
    patients in recombinant treatment group take Rituximab intravenously at 100 mg weekly for 4 consecutive weeks(Day 1,8,15,22)

Study Details

The project was undertaking by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and other 13 well-known hospitals in China. In order to report the efficacy and safety of Recombinant Human thrombopoietin combining with Rituximab for the treatment of adults with refractory immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), compared to conventional Rituximab therapy.
