About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of IVIG-L (Human Normal Immunoglobulin for Intravenous Use)in Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP)Patients

The efficacy and safety of a liquid intravenous immunoglobulin product, IVIG-L, in patients with ITP will be assessed and compared with data obtained from literature.

Read the detailed description

Sanquin has developed, in cooperation with the Finnish Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service (FRCBTS), a liquid intravenous immunoglobulin product, IVIG-L. The liquid formulation of intravenous immunoglobulin simplifies infusion, eliminates possible mistakes in the reconstitution with water for injection and reduces space requirements in storage.

In addition to donor selection and screening, several procedures have been included in the production process to improve viral safety.

In this clinical trial, the efficacy and safety of IVIG-L in patients with ITP will be assessed and compared with data obtained from literature. IVIG-L will also be studied in patients with hypogammaglobulinemia.The results from both studies will be used for an application for marketing authorisation of IVIG-L in Finland and the Netherlands.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing IVIG-L in people with Purpura, Thrombocytopenic, Idiopathic, run by Prothya Biosolutions at 6 sites in Poland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jan 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Poland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The efficacy of IVIG-L. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Jan 2006.
