5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Randomized, open-label study to compare the efficacy and safety of prednisone plus recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) compared to prednisone monotherapy for the treatment of immune thrombocytopenia in pregnancy
Detailed Description
The investigators are undertaking a parallel group, randomized controlled trial of adults with ITP in pregnancy in China. Patients were randomized to prednisone plus rhTPO and prednisone monotherapy group. Platelet count, bleeding and other symptoms were evaluated before and after treatment. Adverse events are also recorded throughout the study.
