About this trial
A multicenter, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled study to report the efficacy and safety of all-trans etinoic acid compared to placebo for the treatment of adults with corticosteriod-resistant/relapsed primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).

Patients who have previously received at least one first-line standard therapy for ITP (corticosteroid and/or intravenous immunoglobulin) with unsustained efficacy, relapse, intolerance to standard therapy, or insufficient response.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Durable platelet response
Platelet count of ⩾50 × 10\^9/L or between ⩾30 × 10\^9/L and \<50 × 10\^9/L and at least doubled from baseline on at least four of six scheduled visits between weeks 14 and 24
Secondary outcomes
24-week overall response rate
From enrollment to the end of week 24, the proportion of patients with at least one platelet count of ≥50×10⁹/L or between 30 × 10\^9/L and 50 × 10\^9/L plus at least doubled from baseline
12-week overall response rate
From enrollment to the end of week 12, the proportion of patients with at least one platelet count of ≥50×10⁹/L or between 30 × 10\^9/L and 50 × 10\^9/L plus at least doubled from baseline
Consecutive Increased Platelet Counts (≥2 Consecutive PLT ≥ 30×10^9/L)
The proportion of participants who achieved platelet counts ≥ 30×10\^9/L and at least doubled from baseline at two consecutive visits
Consecutive Increased Platelet Counts (≥2 Consecutive PLT ≥ 50×10^9/L)
The proportion of patients with two consecutive platelet counts of 50×10⁹/L or more and doubling from the baseline count
