Essential Thrombocytopenia Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Prospective, Single-center Clinical Trial of Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2b Versus Interferon Alfa Therapy in the Treatment of Childhood and Adolescent Essential Thrombocythemia
Objectives: To compare the efficacy and safety in childhood and adolescent patients (<20 years) diagnosed as essential thrombocythemia treated with the Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2b vs. Interferon Alfa. Study Design: A prospective, open-label, nonrandomized, single-center clinical trial
This is a prospective, open-label, nonrandomized, single-center clinical trial between Interferon Alfa and Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2b in childhood and adolescent essential thrombocythemia (<20 years). Patients will be divided into the following two treatment groups: 1. Recombinant Interferon Alpha, with an initial dose of 300 wu twice a week. Other interferons that have been listed can be used if Recombinant Interferon Alpha (300 wu) is not available, and the specific dose will be determined by the researchers; 2. Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2b, with an initial dose of 135 ug once a week (body surface area < 1.73 m2) or 180 ug once a week ( body surface area≥1.73 m2). The current drug therapies and possible risks of Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2b and Interferon Alfa in the treatment of childhood and adolescent essential thrombocythemia will be fully introduced to the guardians (childhood patients) or patients (adolescent patients) by the researchers. Then the patients will be divided into one of the two groups according to the guardians' (childhood patients) or patients' (adolescent patients) will. The dosage will be adjusted according to the results of laboratory examinations and patient tolerance. The patient will be transferred to the other group if intolerance or resistance occurs. ;
