About this study
Official title: A Phase I, Double-blind, Placebo and Observer-blind Positive Controlled, Randomized, Parallel Group Study in Healthy Subjects to Investigate the Photoirritant Potential of Eltrombopag
This study is designed to investigate the safety profile and the photoirritant potential of eltrombopag in healthy subjects. The study is placebo- and positive controlled, randomized, parallel group with three treatment arms: eltrombopag (75 mg QD), placebo, and a positive control (ciprofloxacin, 500 mg BID). Eltrombopag will be administered in a double-blind fashion with respect to placebo and the positive control, ciprofloxacin, will be administered under observer-blinded conditions. Twelve to fifteen subjects will be recruited into each arm, to assure total enrollment of 36 evaluable subjects. The primary endpoint is the photosensitizing potential of eltrombopag as measured by photoirritant index (PI) and change in minimum erythemal dose (MED) in comparison with placebo.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Ciprofloxacin and Eltrombopag in people with Purpura, Thrombocytopaenic, Idiopathic, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in United Kingdom.
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 45 inclusion and 0 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 17 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
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?
Evaluate the photosensitizing potential, as measured by photoirritant index and change from baseline in minimum erythemal dose, of eltrombopag when dosed orally at 75 mg QD as compared to placebo and ciprofloxacin 500 mg BID. (time frame: Screening - Day 8). 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 NCT00688272, 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 17 Nov 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
