Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Terbutaline plus Danazol group

Arm Description

Terbutaline 2.5mg tid po plus danazol 200mg bid po for 12weeks

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Sustained response
The maintenance of platelet count ≥ 30 x 10^9/L, at least 2-fold increase of the baseline count, the absence of bleeding, and no need for rescue medication at the 6-month follow-up. Interim analysis was scheduled at 50% through recruitment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

complete remission
The number of participants (responders) with platelet count>=100x10^9/L (CR) and the absence of bleeding.
partial remission
The number of participants (responders) with platelet count >=30x10^9/L and at least a 2-fold increase in the baseline count (PR) without the administration of any other platelet increasing therapy.
time to response
Time to response was defined as the time from starting treatment to the time to achieve the response. Interim analysis
duration of response
Duration of response was measured from the achievement of response to the loss of response.
incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events
Adverse events were scaled according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Single-arm, open-label, single center study to assess the efficacy and safety of terbutaline plus danazol in patients with corticosteroid resistant/relapsed ITP.
Detailed Description
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a severe bleeding disorder. Approximately 2/3 of patients achieve remission from first-line therapies. However, the underlying mechanism of corticosteroid-resistant or relapsed ITP is not well understood; thus, treatment remains a great challenge. β2-AR agonist terbutaline modulates T cell differentiation and effector cell function. A single center prospective study was performed in non-splenectomized ITP patients who were either resistant to a standard dose of corticosteroids or had relapsed. Patients were assigned to terbutaline plus danazol group. Platelet count, bleeding and other symptoms were evaluated before and after treatment. Adverse events are also recorded throughout the study, in order to assess the efficacy and safety of terbutaline plus danazol in patients with corticosteroid-resistant/relapsed ITP.
