Brief Summary   Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune syndrome involving antibody- and cell-mediated destruction of platelets and suppression of platelet production by the bone marrow (BM) megakaryocytes that may predispose to bleeding. 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. Romiplostim has been approved globally including US, EU, Canada, Australia etc since 2008. Romiplostim has not yet approved in India. Intas Pharmaceuticals has developed biosimilar Romiplostim, which is similar to Innovator’s product in terms for chemical and preclinical characteristics. Efficacy and safety of Romiplostim manufactured by Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd has already proven in Indian population in a phase III clinical study. Aim of the current study is to evaluate pharmacokinetics of Romiplostim in Indian population. It is a Prospective, Assessor-blind, Randomized, Parallel group clinical study. The present study will be carried out to generate pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety data from 24adult patients (12 patients per arm) of both the genders aged 18 to 65 years (both inclusive) years with chronic refractory ITP at different clinical sites across India. Adult patients of both the genders with chronic refractory ITP will be screened for Inclusion/Exclusion criteria. The study will consist of a 1 week of screening period, dosing on day 0 and 4 weeks of follow-up period. Patients will be screened for eligibility over 1 week period. Physical examination, vital signs, and laboratory testing will be performed at the screening visit. All patients will be given 3 mcg/kg dose of Romiplostim on day 0. Total 25 blood samples (3 mL each) will be collected for pharmacokinetic assessment. Total 7 blood samples will be collected for pharmacodynamics assessment. Pharmacodynamic assessment will be performed at central lab using standard validated method. Safety of the patients will be ensured during entire duration of the study.
