Brief Summary  

Romiplostim is a novel thrombopoiesis-stimulating protein that has been developed as a treatment for adults with thrombocytopenia associated with ITP. Romiplostim provides an effective approach for the treatment of ITP. As demonstrated in two multicentre, placebo-controlled, Phase III studies, Romiplostim robustly maintains platelet counts at clinically meaningful levels in both splenectomised and non-splenectomised patients, as compared to patients receiving only standard of care ITP medications, with response rates generally better than those medications. Romiplostim has been approved globally including US, EU, Canada, Australia etc since 2008. Romiplostim has not yet approved in India. Also, India was not the part of Innovator’s Global clinical trial programme. Hence, safety and efficacy of Romiplostim is unproven in Indian Population. Intas Pharmaceuticals has developed biosimilar Romiplostim, which is similar to Innovator’s product in terms for chemical and preclinical characteristics. Aim of the current study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Intas Romiplostim in Indian population.
