About this study

Official title: Recombinant Human Thrombopoietin (rhTPO) in Management of Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP)in Pregnancy: a Single-center Clinical Trial

This clinical trial is undertaking by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, aims at evaluating efficacy and safety of rhTPO in management of ITP in pregnancy.

Read the detailed description

The investigators are undertaking a single-center, non-randomized, non-controlled trial of 30 ITP patients in pregnancy from Qilu Hospital of Shandong University. ITP patients in pregnancy who failed to respond to prednisone, IVIG and developed refractoriness to platelet transfusion will be given rhTPO intravenously at a dose of 300U/kg every day. Dose will be tapered to 300U/kg every other day when platelet count rise over 50×10^9/L. Maintenance will be continued after delivery and the dose will be further reduced to 300U/kg per week. Platelet count, bleeding and other symptoms will be evaluated before and after treatment. Adverse events will be recorded throughout the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Early Response

    Response rate (CR+R) at the 14th day, the 10th week from the initial injection of rhTPO, ante partum and one month after delivery. CR is defined as platelet count ≥ 100×109/L, and R is defined as platelet count of >30×109/L with at least a doubling of the baseline value.

    Measured: one month after delivery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety

    Adverse events in patients and infants.

    Measured: six months after delivery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing rhTPO in people with Immune Thrombocytopenia and Pregnancy, 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 7 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ming Hou, MD PhD (86-531-82169114 ext. 9879, houming@medmail.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Early Response (time frame: one month after delivery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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.
