E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate safety of Romiplostim in patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed NHL who experienced grade-4 chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) after the first chemotherapy course. |
dimostrare la sicurezza di Romiplostim, definita come incidenza di eventi avversi di grado ≥4 (NCI CTCAE v.4.02 Dec 09) durante il trattamento sperimentale (dopo il secondo ciclo fino alla fine del trattamento chemioterapico). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate romiplostim activity by assessing the reduction of grade 4 CIT, CIT duration, number of platelets transfusions, with the possibil-ity to maintain the relative dose intensity of the chemotherapy regimen. |
-valutare l’attività di Romiplostim definita come incidenza di piastrinopenia di grado 4 (<25.000/mcL) ad ogni ciclo chemioterapico durante il trattamento sperimentale; -valutare il tempo di recupero piastrinico da <25.000/mcL a >25.000/mcL dopo ogni ciclo chemioterapico; • valutare il numero di trasfusioni piastriniche necessarie ad ogni ciclo chemioterapico per ciascun paziente dall’arruolamento al termine della chemioterapia; -valutare il numero di eventi emorragici ad ogni ciclo chemioterapico per ciascun paziente dall’arruolamento al termine della chemioterapia. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
-Patient with NHL of any histotype, both at diagnosis or at relapse, who experienced grade 4 CIT after the first course of chemotherapy containing high doses of meth-otrexate, cytarabine, cisplatin, cyclo-phosphamide and/or ifosfamide, and/or conven-tional doses of anthracyclines or purine analogs (permitted regimens: CHOP, CHOP-like, FC, FND, DHAP, ICE, IEV, MIV, MTX/araC), with or without rituximab. The same type of chemotherapy where the grade 4 CIT occurred will be continued at the same planned doses for a maximum of 8 courses. -Age ≥18 years. -ECOG performance status score 3. -Signed informed consent. -Adequate bone marrow function (ANC >1.000; Hb >9,5 g/dL; PLT > 75.000). |

Il medesimo regime di chemioterapia nell’ambito del quale si è verificata la CIT di Grado 4 sarà continuato alla stessa dose pianificata per un massimo di 8 cicli. -Età ≥18 years. -ECOG performance status 3. -Firma del consenso informato. -Adeguata funzione midollare (ANC >1.000; Hb >9,5 g/dL; PLT > 75.000) |
