Romiplostim to speed platelet recovery after haploidentical stem cell transplant
Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Romiplostim N01 in Promoting Platelet Reconstruction After Haploidentical Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies
Run by First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University · NCT07321626 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial will test whether weekly romiplostim helps adults with AML, MDS, or other blood cancers recover platelets faster after a haploidentical stem cell transplant.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18 years) with AML, MDS, or other malignant hematologic diseases scheduled for haploidentical allogeneic HSCT who have ECOG 0-1, adequate liver and kidney function, and expected survival >6 months are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with uncontrolled active infection or another active malignancy, severe cardiovascular disease, those on anticoagulation, or those not undergoing haploidentical HSCT are unlikely to benefit from this intervention.

What this trial studies
This is a randomized, controlled Phase 1 study enrolling 130 adults undergoing haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for AML, MDS, or other hematologic malignancies. Participants are randomized 1:1 to receive romiplostim subcutaneously once weekly (starting 5 µg/kg with adjustments up to 10 µg/kg) for up to four weeks or until platelet counts reach ≥100 × 10⁹/L, versus a control arm without thrombopoietin receptor agonists. Supportive care including transfusions and other growth factors is permitted in both arms. The trial will monitor safety and platelet engraftment outcomes during the post-transplant period.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, romiplostim could shorten the time to platelet recovery and reduce transfusion needs and bleeding risk after haploidentical HSCT.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies of thrombopoietin receptor agonists, including romiplostim, have shown promising signals for improving platelet counts after HSCT but results remain variable and not definitive.
