a prospective, one-arm and open clinical study of cm313 in the treatment of immune thrombocytopenia

Conditions: Immune Thrombocytopenia; Treatment

Summary: to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cm313 in the treatment of immune thrombocytopenia in patients who have not responded adequately or relapsed after first-line treatment and at least one second-line therapy including rituximab and/or tpo-ra.

immune thrombocytopenia (itp) is an organ-specific autoimmune disease, which is characterized by decreased platelet count and skin and mucosal bleeding. itp is a kind of disease with increased platelet destruction and impaired platelet production caused by autoimmunity. conventional treatment of adult itp includes first-line glucocorticoid and immunoglobulin therapy, second line tpo and tpo receptor agonist, splenectomy and other immunosuppressive treatments (such as rituximab, vincristine, azathioprine, etc.). itp is one of the most common hemorrhagic diseases. at present, the treatment response of itp is not good, and a considerable number of patients need drug maintenance treatment, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients and increases the economic burden of patients. therefore, there is still a lack of effective treatment for adult itp, especially for recurrent and refractory itp patients, which is one of the problems that have attracted more attention and need to be solved urgently. the main pathogenesis of itp is the loss of platelet autoantigen immune tolerance, which leads to abnormal activation of humoral and cellular immunity. it is characterized by antibody mediated platelet destruction and insufficient platelet production by megakaryocytes. the residual long-term autoreactive plasma cells may be a source of therapeutic resistance to autoimmune cytopenia. antiplatelet specific plasma cells have been detected in the spleen of patients with rituximab refractory itp. therefore, the strategy of simply eliminating b cells may not work, because llpc will continue to produce pathogenic antibodies. however, targeting llpc becomes a new strategy to treat autoimmune diseases. cm313, a kind of anti-cd38 antibody, is a new type of monoclonal antibody targeting cd38. it targets plasma cells and has carried out some clinical studies in multiple myeloma, with good therapeutic effects. in addition, the clinical trials of similar cd38 monoclonal antibody drugs, such as daratumumab, in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, including membranous nephropathy, systemic lupus erythematosus (sle) and itp, are also being carried out simultaneously. we assume that autologous reaction llpc may be the cause of treatment failure in some itp patients. therefore, the use of cd38 monoclonal antibody to clear long-term surviving plasma cells in itp patients may be a new strategy for treating itp patients. therefore, the investigators designed this clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cm313 in the treatment of immune thrombocytopenia in patients who are steroid-refractory or steroid-dependent, and fail to respond to at least one previous second-line therapy, including rituximab and/ or tpo agonist.

Eligibility criteria:
