Study Arms:
- ARM A - PDN (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): PDN is administered orally at the daily dose of 1 mg/Kg for 4 consecutive weeks (from day 0 to day 28), then, therapy is tapered within 14 days. The patients considered NOT RESPONDER at day 42 or WHO HAVE LOST THE RESPONSE within the evaluation of final response (see paragraph 8.1), will be crossed to ARM B.
- ARM B - DXM (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): DXM is administered orally at single fixed daily doses of 40 mg for 4 consecutive days, every 14 days, for 3 consecutive courses. If platelet count is £ 20x109/L or bleeding symptoms related to thrombocytopenia are present, lowdose DXM (0.035 mg/Kg/day) between courses is given. The patients (either from ARM A+B or from ARM B) considered NOT RESPONDER at day 46 or who HAVE LOST THE RESPONSE within the evaluation of final response (see paragraph 8.1), will be considered OFF TREATMENT.~For these patients a second line therapy will be considered, according to the medical practice of the Centre (splenectomy or other).

Based on this trial design, predict the completion outcome and termination type (if applicable).
