Prospective Validation of a Predictive Model of Response to Romiplostim in Patients With IPSS Low or Intermediate-1 Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and Thrombocytopenia - the EUROPE-trial
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating N-Plate / romiplostim for Myelodysplastic Syndromes. Completed, enrolled 77 participants across 36 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
There are currently no licensed drugs in the EU to treat thrombocytopenia in MDS patients classified as IPSS low/int-1. Prior studies with romiplostim (a TPO receptor agonist) in MDS found that baseline concentration of TPO as well as transfusion history were predictive of subsequent response in a retrospective model. The current prospective study has the aim to explore whether both pretreatment variables (endogenous TPO, TPO-level, platelet transfusion history) can predict the response to subsequent short-term treatment with romiplostim.

Interventions
medical intervention in 3 patient groups (MDS patients with IPSS Low/Int-1) that are stratified according to their baseline TPO-Level and previous transfusions
