About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter Study on the Alteration of Different Immune Parameters in ITP Patients Receiving Eltrombopag Treatment.

This project was undertaken by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and other well-known hospitals in China. In order to report the alteration of Different Immune Parameters in ITP Patients Receiving Eltrombopag Treatment.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of oral eltrombopag as a thrombopoietic agent treating previously treated chronic Chinese ITP patients and investigate the alteration of Different Immune Parameters after eltrombopag therapy.

Approximately 30 eligible subjects with primary ITP who have not responded to or have relapsed after previous treatment for ITP will be selected. The initial dose of eltrombopag administration is 25 mg orally once daily. During the 6 weeks follow-up, dose of investigational product will be adjusted according to the weekly subject platelet count, and a battery of immune parameters will be monitored at the end of each week. Additionally, the efficacy of oral eltrombopag for ITP will be assessed after 6 weeks administration.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of platelet response (Complete Response)

    1. Complete response (CR): A platelet count ≥ 100 * 10^9/L measured on two occasions > 7 days apart and the absence of bleeding.
    2. Response (R): A platelet count ≥ 30 * 10^9/L and a greater than two fold increase in platelet count from baseline measured on two occasions > 7 days apart and the absence of bleeding.
    3. No response (NR): A platelet count < 30 * 10^9/L or a less than two fold increase in platelet count from baseline or the presence of bleeding. Platelet count must be measured on two occasions more than a day apart.

    Measured: The time frame is up to 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Alteration of Different Immune Parameters

    immune parameters,including expression of CD14,FcgammaRI,FcgammaRIIa/IIb and FcgammaRIII on monocyte/macrophages, will be determined once weekly till the end of the sixth week.

    Measured: 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Immune Thrombocytopenia, run by Shandong University at 1 site in China.

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 14 inclusion and 12 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Apr 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 China. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Evaluation of platelet response (Complete Response) (time frame: The time frame is up to 6 weeks). 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 NCT01864512, 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 20 Apr 2016.
