A multicenter clinical, open-label total dose-escalating phase II study with safety run-in to explore the clinical activity, total dosage, and safety of daratumumab in adult ITP patients who have not responded adequately or relapsed after corticosteroids and at least one second-line therapy including rituximab and/or TPO-RA.
Many patients with chronic ITP require repeated or continuous medications to maintain a safe platelet count. B-cell depletion with rituximab in ITP induces the differentiation of short-lived auto-immune plasma cells into pathogenic long-lived plasma cells in the spleen that was not present before treatment. It has been reported that refractory ITP is related to the presence of long-lived plasma cells, which are resistant to steroids and immunosuppressants, including rituximab. These findings lead to the hypothesis that therapy directed against plasma cells may help overcome treatment resistance. At least in a proportion of patients, treatment resistance is caused by CD20 negative long-lived plasma cells. This study aims to investigate the efficacy, the optimal number of treatments, and safety of anti-CD38 antibody daratumumab steroid-refractory or steroid-dependent in ITP patients who fail to respond to at least one previous second-line therapy, including rituximab and/ or TPO agonist.

to evaluate of response after daratumumab treatment
Response defined as platelet count ≥50 x109/L in 2 measurements (taken at least 24 hours apart) during week 12 for safety run-in cohort 1 and during week 16 for cohort 2 (after first study drug injection) without having received rescue therapy, having had dose increment of TPO-RA or corticosteroids during the study period.
Time frame: 12-16 weeks
safety of daratumumab
incidence, severity and relationship of treatment emergent adverse events
Time frame: 24 weeks
duration of respons (DOR)
duration of sustained platelet count ≥50x109/L without having received any platelet elevating therapy or having had dose increment of TPO-RA and/or corticosteroids
Time frame: 12-16 weeks
time to treatment failure (TTF)
time with platelet count≥ 50x109/L from 4 weeks after the last daratumumab injection to the first platelet count \<30x109/L of two counts taken in two consecutive measurements at least 24 hours apart, or administration of any platelet elevating therapy after achieving response
Time frame: minimum 24 weeks
measurement of HRQoL and fatigue
measurement of HRQoL and fatigue using SF36 and MFI-20 questionnaire before daratumumab therapy, at week 8 for safety run-in, at week 12 for cohort 1, at week 16 for cohort 2 and at study week 24 for all patients in the study. Assess of difference in HRQoL and fatigue between non-responders and responders prior to and after daratumumab treatment
Time frame: 24 weeks
measurements of antibodies
level of anti-GPIIb/IIIa and Ib antibodiesbefore daratumumab therapy and at study week 24 ( only Norwegian centers)
