What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Platelet Response

    The platelet response rate is defined as the percentage of subjects responding to treatment with an increase of platelet count from ≤ 20 x 10^9/L to ≥ 50 x 10^9/L within the specified time frame.

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Regression of Hemorrhage (Skin)

    Number of subjects with a decrease in the severity of bleeding from baseline (prior to first infusion) on at least one post-infusion assessment during the study period (e.g., a change from moderate to mild or a change from mild to none). Regression of hemorrhages was tabulated separately for the organ systems skin, oral cavity, genitourinary tract, nose, and internal.

    Measured: up to 29 days

  2. Regression of Hemorrhage (Oral Cavity)

    Number of subjects with a decrease in the severity of bleeding from baseline (prior to first infusion) on at least one post-infusion assessment during the study period (e.g., a change from moderate to mild or a change from mild to none). Regression of hemorrhages was tabulated separately for the organ systems skin, oral cavity, genitourinary tract, nose, and internal.

    Measured: 29 days

  3. Regression of Hemorrhage (Genitourinary Tract)

    Number of subjects with a decrease in the severity of bleeding from baseline (prior to first infusion) on at least one post-infusion assessment during the study period (e.g., a change from moderate to mild or a change from mild to none). Regression of hemorrhages was tabulated separately for the organ systems skin, oral cavity, genitourinary tract, nose, and internal.

    Measured: 29 days

  4. Regression of Hemorrhage (Nose)

    Number of subjects with a decrease in the severity of bleeding from baseline (prior to first infusion) on at least one post-infusion assessment during the study period (e.g., a change from moderate to mild or a change from mild to none). Regression of hemorrhages was tabulated separately for the organ systems skin, oral cavity, genitourinary tract, nose, and internal.

    Measured: 29 days

  5. Regression of Hemorrhage (Internal)

    Number of subjects with a decrease in the severity of bleeding from baseline (prior to first infusion) on at least one post-infusion assessment during the study period (e.g., a change from moderate to mild or a change from mild to none). Regression of hemorrhages was tabulated separately for the organ systems skin, oral cavity, genitourinary tract, nose, and internal.

    Measured: 29 days

  6. Time to Platelet Response

    Median time to reach a platelet count ≥ 50 x 10^9/L.

    Measured: 29 days

  7. Duration of Platelet Response

    The number of days the platelet count remained ≥ 50 x 10^9/L.

    Measured: up to 29 days

  8. Maximum Platelet Level

    Maximum absolute platelet count achieved over the duration of the study.

    Measured: 29 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Immunoglobulin Intravenous (Human) in people with Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura, run by CSL Behring at 17 sites in 6 countries.

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 2 inclusion and 10 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 23 Nov 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Germany, Italy and 1 more country. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Nov 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Platelet Response (time frame: 7 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00168038, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 23 Nov 2011.
