    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Sovleplenib, a novel spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) inhibitor, showed promising safety and activity in patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia in a phase 1b/2 trial. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sovleplenib in patients with chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia. METHODS: This randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial (ESLIM-01) was done in 34 clinical centres in China. Eligible patients, aged 18-75 years, had chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1, and received one or more previous treatments. Patients were randomly assigned (2:1) to receive oral sovleplenib or placebo, 300 mg once daily, for 24 weeks. Randomisation was stratified by baseline platelet counts, previous splenectomy, and concomitant treatment for anti-immune thrombocytopenia at baseline. The primary endpoint was durable response rate (proportion of patients with a platelet count of ≥50 × 109/L on at least four of six scheduled visits between weeks 14 and 24, not affected by rescue treatment) assessed by intention-to-treat. The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05029635, and the extension, open-label phase is ongoing. FINDINGS: Between Sept 29, 2021, and Dec 31, 2022, 188 patients were randomly assigned to receive sovleplenib (n=126) or placebo (n=62). 124 (66%) were female, 64 (34%) were male, and all were of Asian ethnicity. Median previous lines of immune thrombocytopenia therapy were 4·0, and 134 (71%) of 188 patients had received previous thrombopoietin or thrombopoietin receptor agonist. The primary endpoint was met; durable response rate was 48% (61/126) with sovleplenib compared with zero with placebo (difference 48% [95% CI 40-57]; p<0·0001). The median time to response was 8 days with sovleplenib compared with 30 days with placebo. 125 (99%) of 126 patients in the sovleplenib group and 53 (85%) of 62 in the placebo group reported treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), and most events were mild or moderate. Frequent TEAEs of grade 3 or higher for sovleplenib versus placebo were platelet count decreased (7% [9/126] vs 10% [6/62]), neutrophil count decreased (3% [4/126] vs 0% [0/62]), and hypertension (3% [4/126] vs 0% [0/62]). Incidences of serious TEAEs were 21% (26/126) in the sovleplenib group and 18% (11/62) in the placebo group. There were no deaths in the study. INTERPRETATION: Sovleplenib showed a clinically meaningful sustained platelet response in patients with chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia, with a tolerable safety profile and improvement in quality of life. Sovleplenib could be a potential treatment option for patients with immune thrombocytopenia who received one or more previous therapy.
