This is a prospective, randomized, controlled trial. ITP patients who failed prior full-does TPO-RA monotheray for 14 days. Patients are randomly assigned at a 1:1 ratio to receive baricitinib plus TPO-RA or TPO-RA alone. Patients are randomly assigned at a 1:1 ratio to receive baricitinib plus TPO-RA or TPO-RA alone. The primary endpoint was the 14-day overall response rate without any rescue therapy.
This is a prospective, randomized, controlled trial.Eligible patients were at least 18 years old, had a diagnosis of primary ITP and did not respond after receiving TPO-RA (hetrombopag or eltrombopag) at the full dose (hetrombopag 7.5mg per day or eltrombopag 75 mg per day) for 14 days (platelet count below 30×10\^9/L or a value less than a 2-fold increase from their baseline platelet count). Patients are randomly assigned at a 1:1 ratio to receive baricitinib plus TPO-RA or TPO-RA alone. Both groups will continue their prior full-dose TPO-RA therapy for 14 days (day 1-14), while baricitinib was given orally at a dose of 2 mg twice daily concomitantly in the combination group for 14 days (day 1-14). The primary endpoint was the 14-day overall response rate without bleeding and any rescue therapy. The secondary endpoints included the 28-day overall response rate, 14-day complete response rate, the 28-day complete response rate, time to response, WHO bleeding scores, health-related quality of life, and adverse events.

Oral baricitinib is given at a dose of 2 mg twice daily for 14 days.
Hetrombopag is given at an initial dose of 7.5 mg once daily for 14 days; eltrombopag is given at an initial dose of 75 mg once daily for 14 days
14-day Overall response rate
Overall response was defined as platelet count over 30,000/μL and at least a 2-fold increase of the baseline count in the absence of bleeding and rescue therapy.
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 14 days
14-day Complete response (CR) rate
Complete response (CR) was defined as platelet count over 100,000/μL and absence of bleeding.
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 14 days
28-day ovrall response rate
Overall response was defined as platelet count over 30,000/μL and at least a 2-fold increase of the baseline count and absence of bleeding.
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 28 days
28-day CR rate
Complete response (CR) was defined as platelet count over 100,000/μL and absence of bleeding.
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 28 days
Time to response (TTR)
The time from treatment initiation to achieve a CR or a R.
Time frame: From the start of study treatment (Day 1) up to day 14
Bleeding events
Bleeding was assessed with the WHO bleeding scale (grade 0, no bleeding; grade 1, petechiae; grade 2, mild blood loss; grade 3, gross blood loss; grade 4, debilitating blood loss).
Time frame: From the start of study treatment (Day 1) to the end of day 14
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL)
ITP-patient assessment questionnaire was used to assess the HRQoL before and after treatment.
