This project was undertaken by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and other well-known hospitals in China. In order to report the alteration of Different Immune Parameters in ITP Patients Receiving Eltrombopag Treatment.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of oral eltrombopag as a thrombopoietic agent treating previously treated chronic Chinese ITP patients and investigate the alteration of Different Immune Parameters after eltrombopag therapy. Approximately 30 eligible subjects with primary ITP who have not responded to or have relapsed after previous treatment for ITP will be selected. The initial dose of eltrombopag administration is 25 mg orally once daily. During the 6 weeks follow-up, dose of investigational product will be adjusted according to the weekly subject platelet count, and a battery of immune parameters will be monitored at the end of each week. Additionally, the efficacy of oral eltrombopag for ITP will be assessed after 6 weeks administration.

Evaluation of platelet response (Complete Response)
1. Complete response (CR): A platelet count ≥ 100 \* 10\^9/L measured on two occasions \> 7 days apart and the absence of bleeding. 2. Response (R): A platelet count ≥ 30 \* 10\^9/L and a greater than two fold increase in platelet count from baseline measured on two occasions \> 7 days apart and the absence of bleeding. 3. No response (NR): A platelet count \< 30 \* 10\^9/L or a less than two fold increase in platelet count from baseline or the presence of bleeding. Platelet count must be measured on two occasions more than a day apart.
Time frame: The time frame is up to 6 weeks
Alteration of Different Immune Parameters
immune parameters,including expression of CD14,FcgammaRI,FcgammaRIIa/IIb and FcgammaRIII on monocyte/macrophages, will be determined once weekly till the end of the sixth week.
Time frame: 6 weeks
