      Background:
      Chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) has seriously hindered the application of anti-cancer drugs. Thrombopoietic factors such as recombinant human interleukin-11(rhIL-11), thrombopoietin and its derivative(recombinant human thrombopoietin, rhTPO) are routinely administrated for CIT. But there is no randomized study to compare rhTPO with rhIL-11 on efficacy and safety of thrombocytopenia prophylactic treatment before. This is the first randomized, open-label, multicenter, phase Ⅲ study to compare them in China. We tried to investigate the efficacy and safety of prophylactic administration with rhTPO or rhIL-11 to prevent CIT in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC) patients.

      Methods:
      From June 2009 to February 2015, 71 patients with advanced NSCLC who were receiving the first-line platinum-based chemotherapy suffered severe thrombocytopenia(the nadir of platelet counts<50×10[9]/L, confirmed by two times of blood routine in different days) during prior chemotherapy cycle. They were randomized to rhTPO arm or rhIL-11 arm in the following chemotherapy cycle, and the chemotherapy regimens and drug doses were consistent in the prior and following cycle (GC Gemcitabine 1000-1250 mg/m[2], D1 and D8; Carboplatin dosing by AUC value=5, D1; Q3W) or GP (Gemcitabine 1000-1250 mg/m[2], D1 and D8; Cisplatin 75 mg/m[2], D1; Q3W). 49 patients (34 males, 15 females) were enrolled rhTPO arm and 22 patients (14 males, 8 females) were enrolled rhIL-11 arm. There were no statistical difference between two arms in terms of gender[34 males(69.4%) vs.14 males(63.6%),P>0.05], age(58.5±9.3 yrs vs. 60.3±7.5 yrs, P>0.05), and the nadir of platelet counts during prior chemotherapy cycle(31.4±13.1×10[9]/L vs. 28.6±12.8×10[9]/L, P>0.05). rhTPO (15000U/d) was injected subcutaneously on the 2[nd], 4[th], 6[th], 9[th ]Day after the initiation of chemotherapy, and IL-11(3mg/d) was injected subcutaneously per day from Day 9 to Day15 after the initiation of chemotherapy. Blood routines were conducted to test before chemotherapy initiation and the 3[th], 5[th], 7[th], 9[th], 11[th], 13[th], 15[th], 17[th], and 21[th] day after chemotherapy. Toxicity and efficacy were monitored.

      Results:
      In the following chemotherapy cycle there were no statistical difference between rhTPO arm and rhIL-11 arm on the following indexes: the nadir of platelet counts(66.6±43.1×10[9]/L vs. 53.8±40.6×10[9]/L, P>0.05) , the maximum platelet counts (219±132×10[9]/L vs. 240±151×10[9]/L, P>0.05) , duration of platelet counts less than 50×10[9]/L[Median (95%CI): 4.0(3.0-5.0) days vs. 4.5(3.0-6.0) days, P>0.05], time of platelet count recovered to 75×10[9]/L [Median(95%CI): 2(2-3) days vs. 3(0-4) days, P>0.05] and to 100×10[9]/L[median(95%CI): 4(3-6) days vs. 4.5(3-8) days, P>0.05]. Drug-related adverse events in rhTPO arm were less than that of rhIL-11 arm (5 cases(10.2%) in rhTPO arm, 7 cases(31.8%) in rhIL-11 arm, P<0.05).

      Conclusion:
      Although there is no statistical difference on efficacies, prophylactic administration of rhTPO is safer and more convenient than that of rhIL-11 in advanced NSCLC patients. This is an interim analysis. More data is still waiting.
