About this trial

Randomized, open-label, multicenter study to compare the efficacy and safety of Upadacitinib plus high-dose dexamethasone compared to high-dose dexamethasone monotherapy for the first-line treatment of adults with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Platelet counts <30×109/L ;

Platelet counts < 50×109/L and significant bleeding symptoms (WHO bleeding scale 2 or above);

Willing and able to sign written informed consent.

Disqualifiers

Received chemotherapy or anticoagulants or other drugs affecting the platelet counts within 6 months before the screening visit;

Received first-line and second-line ITP-specific treatments (eg, steriods, cyclophosphamide, 6-mercaptopurine, vincristine, vinblastine, etc) ;

Current HIV infection or hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C virus infections;
