About this study

Official title: PRESS Pathogen Reduction Extended Storage Study PRESS (Pathogen Reduction Extended Storage Study) A Pilot Study of Mirasol Platelets Treated in Platelet Additive Solution in Thrombocytopenic Patients

The PRESS trial is a single-center, two-part, randomized cross-over pilot study in Copenhagen that will evaluate 1) the safety and performance of Mirasol-treated and untreated platelet products stored for 2-4 days and for 7-days in Platelet Additive Solution (PAS) and 2) the correlation between the TEG® parameters and platelet count increments after platelet transfusions in thrombocytopenic subjects.

Read the detailed description
  1. To evaluate in thrombocytopenic subjects the efficacy and safety of platelets treated with Mirasol Pathogen Reduction Technology (PRT) in Platelet Additive Solution. The following safety and efficacy measures will be compared between Mirasol treated and untreated platelets stored for 2-4 days and stored for 7 days:
  • Thrombelastography (TEG®) parameters: reaction time R, alpha angle α and maximal amplitude (MA)
  • Platelet Count Increment and Corrected Count Increment
  • Time to next platelet transfusion
  • Incidence of transfusion related (serious) adverse events
  • Incidence and severity of bleedings
  1. To evaluate the use of the TEG® parameters as a measure for platelet transfusion efficacy and to evaluate the correlation between the TEG® parameters and the platelet Corrected Count Increments after platelet transfusions in thrombocytopenic subjects.
Being tested
2-4-day-old Mirasol-treated Platelets Transfusion, 2-4-day-old Untreated Platelets Transfusion

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Maximum Amplitude at 1-hour Post-transfusion

    Thromboelastography (TEG) Parameter: Pre- to post-transfusional modification of Maximum Amplitude at 1-hour post-transfusion

    Measured: pre-transfusion, 1-hour post transfusion

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in Maximum Amplitude at 24-hours Post-transfusion

    Thromboelastography parameter: Pre- to post-transfusional modification in Maximum Amplitude at 24-hours post-transfusion

    Measured: pre-transfusion, 24-hour post transfusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing 2-4-day-old Mirasol-treated Platelets Transfusion and 2-4-day-old Untreated Platelets Transfusion in people with Thrombocytopenia, run by Terumo BCTbio at 1 site in Denmark.

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 4 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 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 1 site in Denmark. 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 combined 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.

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 7 Apr 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?

Change in Maximum Amplitude at 1-hour Post-transfusion (time frame: pre-transfusion, 1-hour post transfusion). 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 NCT01368211, 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 28 Jun 2016.
