About This Trial

This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, active-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Romiplostim N01 plus all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) compared with Romiplostim N01 alone in adults with persistent isolated chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (PICIT) after complete remission of gastrointestinal/digestive system solid tumors, including but not limited to gastrointestinal tract, pancreatic, and colorectal cancers. Eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive Romiplostim N01 plus oral ATRA or Romiplostim N01 alone for 12 weeks, with follow-up through Week 24. The primary outcome is the overall platelet response rate at Week 12, defined as platelet count \>50 x 10\^9/L in at least 2 of the last 3 scheduled platelet assessments up to Week 12. Secondary outcomes include sustained response during Weeks 13 to 24, complete and partial response rates, duration of response, time to response, platelet count changes, platelet transfusion requirements, bleeding events, and safety.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Persistent Isolated Chemotherapy-Induced Thrombocytopenia and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 220 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Persistent Isolated Chemotherapy-Induced Thrombocytopenia subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: 1. Age 18 years or older. 2. Prior diagnosis of a gastrointestinal/digestive system solid tumor, including but not limited to gastrointestinal tract, pancreatic, or colorectal cancer. 3. Complete remission of the underlying tumor after chemotherapy or antitumor treatment, with tumor-related treatment discontinued for at least 12 weeks before enrollment, no evidence of recurrence or progression by specialist assessment, and no current need for additional tumor-directed therapy. 4. Persistent isolated chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia, defined as platelet count \<30 x 10\^9/L on two peripheral blood tests at least 7 days apart; or platelet count slightly higher than 30 x 10\^9/L with dependence on platelet transfusion to maintain a safe platelet level. 5. Thrombocytopenia has persisted since the last chemotherapy treatment without a clear trend of spontaneous recovery. 6. Red blood cell count and neutrophil count are generally preserved, without clinically significant anemia or neutropenia. 7. Bone marrow assessment performed within 1 year after tumor diagnosis and chemotherapy shows no tumor cell infiltration; megakaryocyte count is normal or increased, with or without maturation impairment. 8. No hepatosplenomegaly, portal hypertension, or other evidence suggesting abnormal platelet redistribution as the main cause of thrombocytopenia. 9. Prior treatment with at least one thrombopoietin receptor agonist or recombinant human thrombopoietin for PICIT without response, defined as failure of platelet count to rise to a safe level or to at least 2 times baseline after at least 2 weeks of standard-dose treatment. 10. No prior use of Romiplostim N01. 11. Other platelet-raising medications have been discontinued before enrollment. No waiting period after previous treatment is required for prior thrombopoietin receptor agonists; other investigational drugs or off-label treatments must be discontinued for at least 1 month before enrollment. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Treatments Being Tested

DRUG

Romiplostim N01

Romiplostim N01 will be administered by subcutaneous injection at an initial dose of 4 mcg/kg once weekly for 12 weeks. The dose may be adjusted according to platelet count: increase by 2 mcg/kg if platelet count is \<50 x 10\^9/L, with a maximum dose of 10 mcg/kg; maintain the current dose if platelet count is \>=50 to \<=200 x 10\^9/L; reduce by 1 mcg/kg if platelet count is \>200 to \<=400 x 10\^9/L; and withhold dosing if platelet count is \>400 x 10\^9/L, then restart at a lower dose after platelet count decreases to approximately 200 x 10\^9/L.

DRUG

All-trans retinoic acid

All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) will be administered orally at 10 mg twice daily for 12 weeks. Dose interruption, reduction, or discontinuation may be performed for intolerable toxicity or clinically significant adverse events according to the protocol.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
