NCT06722586

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the efficacy and safety of sirolimus in the treatment of anti-phospholipid antibody associated thrombocytopenia. The patients would be followed at 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after the enrollment. The main questions it aims to answer are the differences between sirolimus and control group at below outcomes: Primary outcome: the overall response rate at 6 months Secondary outcome: the complete response rate at 6 months the partial response rate at 6 months the change of anti-phospholipid antibody titers the change of oral glucocorticoids dosage Other pre-defined outcome: the dropout rate within 6 months Participants will receive either sirolimus 1mg per day or placebo.

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • persistent positive of antiphospholipid antibody (either lupus anticoagulant, anti-cardiolipin antibody, or anti-b2GP1 antibody, at least two times with 12 weeks apart)
  • persistent thrombocytopenia (30-100×10\^9/L, at least for 2 weeks)
  • Eligible concomitant treatment:
  • prednisone or equivalent dose less than 10mg per day is allowed, and dose should be stable for more than 2 weeks
  • hydroxychloroquine less than 400mg per day is allowed, and dose should be stable for more than 1 month
  • anti-platelet and/or anti-coagulant therapy is allowed, and strength should be the stable for 1 week
  • these following therapies should be discontinued for more than 5 half-lives before the enrollment, including thrombopoietin or thrombopoietin receptor antagonist, intravenous immunoglobulin, immunosuppressants, B cell inhibitors (Belimumab or Talitacicept) and B cell depletion therapy (Rituximab or Obinutuzumab).

You may not qualify if:

  • fulling the criteria of other connective tissue disease other than antiphospholipid syndrome
  • received oral/intravenous antibiotics within 2 weeks before the enrollment.
  • new onset of thrombosis within 4 weeks before the enrollment.
  • apparent bleeding tendency.
  • life or organ threatening manifestations, includes but not limit to catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome and thrombotic microangiopathy.
  • liver and renal dysfunction: ALT or AST more than three times of upper limit of normal range; eGFR\<40mL/min/1.73m\^2
  • hematocytopenia: WBC\<3.0×10\^9/L, Hb\<100g/L.
  • uncontrollable hyperlipidemia: low density lipoprotein cholesterol\>3.1 mmol/L, triglycerides\>2.3 mmol/L after lipid lowering therapy.
  • current active infection
  • women in pregnancy and postpartum period
