Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must be willing and able to give written informed consent by signing an IRB-approved Informed Consent Form prior to admission to this study.
  • Patients may be male or female, between the ages of 18 75. Men, if sexually active, must agree to use at least one medically acceptable form of birth control. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test, and agree to use two independent methods of birth control, if sexually active.
  • Patients must have a diagnosis of chronic refractory ITP for at least 3 months. Chronic refractory ITP is defined as:
  • Platelet count < 30,000/mm3 consistently for 3 months (except for transient nonsustained responses to various therapeutic regimens). There must be at least three separate platelet counts (below 30,000/mm3) over this period, with at least one extending back to three months or more prior to patient entry into the study.
  • The following conditions will have been excluded either by history or appropriate laboratory investigation: HIV infection (see below), lymphoproliferative disorders, myelodysplasia, SLE, drug-induced or alloimmune thrombocytopenia, or dysglobulinemias.
  • The patient must have tried at least two typical regimens for the treatment of ITP (George et al., Blood, 1996; Practice Guidelines, American Society of Hematology). At least 50% of the enrolled patients will not be known to be refractory to IVIg. Patients may or may not have been treated with IVIg in the past.
  • Subjects must test negative for HIV, HBV, and HCV by standard serologic tests within the previous six months.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who have a history or presence of substantial or clinically significant respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, neurological, cardiovascular, psychiatric, musculoskeletal, genitourinary, dermatological, or other disorders that, in the Investigator's opinion, could affect the conduct of the study or the absorption, metabolism or excretion of the study drug are excluded. Specifically excluded are lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia, hepatitis, or HIV associated with ITP.
  • Patients who have a history of relevant drug hypersensitivity are excluded.
  • Patients who have a history of substance abuse, drug addiction or alcoholism are excluded.
  • Patients with the following laboratory abnormalities: a leukocyte count < 2,500/mm3, a neutrophil count of < 1,800/mm3, lymphocyte count < 750/mm3, Hgb < 10 g/L, or transaminase levels (ALT, AST) > 1.5xULN are excluded.

About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Open-Label, Efficacy and Safety, Ascending Dose, Pilot Study of be Fostamatinib Disodium/R935788 for the Treatment of Adult Refractory Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Fostamatinib Disodium is safe and effective in the treatment of Adult Refractory Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP).

Read the detailed description

Patients with chronic refractory ITP are eligible for a 6- to 12-week therapeutic trial. After 24 months of treatment, patients who continue to demonstrate a sustained response, in the investigator's judgment, will be offered the opportunity to receive ongoing therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fostamatinib Disodium / R935788 in people with Purpura, Thrombocytopenic, Idiopathic, run by Rigel Pharmaceuticals at 2 sites in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 4 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 3 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 13 Aug 2014). 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?

Summary of Patients Whose Platelet Count Increased by at Least 20,000/mm3 From Baseline to a Total of 30,000/mm3 or More - Week 2 (time frame: 2 weeks). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00706342, 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 3 Jun 2016.
