Romiplostim N01 for chemotherapy-related low platelets in children and young adults
Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Romiplostim N01 for Chemotherapy-Induced Thrombocytopenia (CIT) in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults (CAYA) With Hematological and Solid Tumors
Run by Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences · NCT07043894 · Data updated 2026-11-12
Romiplostim N01 will be tried to raise platelet counts in children and young adults (ages 6–24) who develop low platelets after chemotherapy for solid tumors or blood cancers.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients aged 6–24 with confirmed non-myeloid malignancies who have chemotherapy-induced platelet counts below 75×10⁹/L, ECOG 0–2, expected survival ≥8 months, and plans for further myelosuppressive chemotherapy cycles.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose low platelets are not caused by chemotherapy, those with active severe bleeding, significant organ dysfunction, very limited life expectancy, or who cannot attend scheduled visits are unlikely to benefit from this intervention.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm Phase II trial giving weekly subcutaneous romiplostim N01 (starting 2 μg/kg) with dose adjustments based on platelet counts to children and young adults (6–24 years) who develop chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia. The primary endpoint is platelet recovery (≥100×10⁹/L or a ≥30×10⁹/L rise) within three weeks, and safety monitoring focuses on bleeding and thrombosis using standard grading scales. Treatment is given for up to two weeks and participants are followed across 10 visits over 36 days with serial labs and clinical assessments. Outcomes will be compared to predefined efficacy thresholds and historical response rates for other thrombopoietin-receptor agonists.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, romiplostim N01 could shorten the duration of low platelets, reduce bleeding risk, and help patients stay on their chemotherapy schedule.
How similar studies have gone: Other thrombopoietin-receptor agonists (for example hetrombopag and romiplostim formulations) have shown promise for chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia in adults and some pediatric reports, but romiplostim N01 in this exact CAYA population remains specifically being tested.
