ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the efficacy and safety of recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) combined with high-dose dexamethasone (DXM) in the treatment of children with refractory immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fifty-eight ITP children who had failed first-line therapy were randomly divided into two groups DXM treatment (n=27) and rhTPO + DXM treatment (n=31). The DXM treatment group received two continuous cycles of DXM treatment; in each cycle, patients received high-dose DXM (0.6 mg/kg daily) by intravenous drip for 4 days every 28 days. The rhTPO group received subcutaneous injection of rhTPO (300 U/kg daily) for 14 days additional to DXM treatment. The overall response rate (marked response rate + slight response rate) and adverse reactions were evaluated after 3, 7, and 14 days and 1, 2, and 3 months of treatment.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>After 7 and 14 days and 1 month of treatment, the rhTPO + DXM treatment group had a significantly higher marked response rate and a significantly higher overall response rate than the DXM treatment group (P<0.05). After 2 months of treatment, the rhTPO + DXM treatment group had a significantly higher overall response rate than the DXM group (P<0.05). One patient in the DXM treatment group had liver damage during the first week of treatment. There was no hypertension, fever, rash, allergy, or weakness in the two groups.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>rhTPO combined with high-dose DXM is an effective and safe approach for treating refractory ITP.</p>
