About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Open-label, Single-arm Study Evaluating the Effect of SPD422 on Platelet Lowering and Safety in Japanese Adults With At Risk Essential Thrombocythaemia Who Are Intolerant or Refractory to Current Cytoreductive Treatment

The purpose of this study is to investigate how effective and safe SPD422 (Anagrelide Hydrochloride) is in Japanese subjects, diagnosed with Essential Thrombocythemia, who's previously treatment has either not been effective or has caused unacceptable adverse reactions. The study will aim to show that platelet counts can be safely reduced in treated patients to below 600 x 10^9/L after a minimum of three months treatment. To demonstrate an positive effect platelet levels will need to remain below 600 x 10^9/L for at least 4 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Subjects Who Responded in Platelet Count

    A response was defined as platelet counts to <600x10^9/L across consecutive visits for at least 4 weeks following at least 3 months of treatment.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of Subjects With at Least 50% Reduction in Platelet Count

    Subjects who achieved at least 50% reduction in platelet count from their baseline level across consecutive visits for at least 4 weeks and following 3 months of treatment.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Percentage of Subjects With Normalization in Platelet Count

    Normalization was defined as platelet counts ≤400x10^9/L across consecutive visits for at least 4 weeks following at least 3 months of treatment.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Percentage of Subjects Who Responded in Platelet Count Whose Baseline Platelet Count Was ≥600x10^9/L

    A response was defined as platelet counts to <600x10^9/L across consecutive visits for at least 4 weeks following at least 3 months of treatment.

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Percentage of Subjects Who Responded in Platelet Count Whose Baseline Platelet Count Was <600x10^9/L

    A response was defined as platelet counts to <600x10^9/L across consecutive visits for at least 4 weeks following at least 3 months of treatment.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Anagrelide Hydrochloride in people with Essential Thrombocythemia (ET), run by Shire at 19 sites in Japan.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 9 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites in Japan. 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 25 Sep 2013). 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?

Percentage of Subjects Who Responded in Platelet Count (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT01214915, 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 9 Jun 2021.
