About this trial

This trial is a single-arm, prospective clinical study aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of hetrombopag in preventing chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) in patients with gastrointestinal tumors. The study plans to enroll 40 patients with gastrointestinal tumors who develop thrombocytopenia due to chemotherapy. Patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will maintain the same treatment regimen and dosage as the previous cycle (N-1 cycle). On the day of chemotherapy in the current cycle (N cycle), they will take hetrombopag (D1) at 7.5 mg/day orally for 14 consecutive days on an empty stomach, and may eat two hours after administration, avoiding taking it with meals.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

age ≥18 years;

pathologically confirmed gastrointestinal tumors (including esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, etc.);

during the previous chemotherapy cycle (N-1 cycle), patients had a minimum platelet count of ≥75×10⁹/L and at least one high-risk bleeding factor (① history of bleeding; ② previous treatment with platinum agents, gemcitabine, cytarabine, anthracyclines, etc.; ③ tumor cell bone marrow infiltration; ④ previous or ongoing radiotherapy, especially to long bones or flat bones such as the pelvis or sternum);

during the current chemotherapy cycle (N cycle), patients have a platelet count of ≥100±25×10⁹/L;

Disqualifiers

Previous use of TPO-RA drugs;
