About this study

Official title: Eltrombopag and Romiplostim Used Alternatively in Patients With Immune Thrombopenia (ITP).

TPO-r Switch is a retrospective study of the patients affected by Immune Thrombopenia (ITP) who received alternatively romiplostim and eltrombopag.

Read the detailed description

Thrombopoietin mimetics agents are available since 5 years in France through clinical trials first and then after their license. Two drugs are used: romiplostim and eltrombopag. These molecules have the same receptor on the megacaryocyte and induce the same stimulation of this cell leading to the differentiation and the proliferation into platelets. But romiplostim and eltrombopag have 2 different characteristics: the way of administration (oral for eltrombopag and subcutaneous for romiplostim) and the binding site to the C-MPL receptor on megacaryocyte. The aim of this study is to describe ITP patients who received these two drugs alternatively in order to know if there is a benefit for switching these molecules in clinical practice.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Romiplostim and eltrombopag in ITPITP patients who received alternatively romiplostim or eltrombopag with at least two months of follow-up for each period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of efficacy after switching from one TPO mimetics to a second one.

    The primary outcome of this study is to know if switching from one TPO mimetics to a second one in ITP patients lead to a better efficacy in a significative proportion of patients.

    Measured: 2 months minimun

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Rate of patients with an adverse events who have a benefit after switching.

    Some ITP patients under TPO-r mimetics have some adverse events, the secondary outcome of this study is to evaluate the benefit to switch from one TPO-r mimetics to a second one in these cases.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Immune Thrombocytopenia and Thrombopoietin Receptor Agonist, run by Henri Mondor University Hospital.

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 5 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 13 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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?

Rate of efficacy after switching from one TPO mimetics to a second one. (time frame: 2 months minimun). 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 NCT01618734, 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 13 Jun 2012.
