Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by low platelet count (i.e less than 100.000) .

About this study

Official title: The Effect and Frequency of Helicobacter Pylori Infection in Primary Immune Thrombocytopenic Patients Not Respond on Steroid Therapy.

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by low platelet count (i.e less than 100.000) . In ITP, platelet surface membrane proteins become antigenic for unknown reasons , leading to stimulation of the immune system , autoantibody production, and platelet destruction In recent years ,the list of etiologies of ITP has been steadily increasing, so the term "idiopathic" is becoming obsolete, increasingly replaced by "immune"TP .

Treatment of ITP may be conceptually divided into rescue therapy and maintenance therapy . the terminology of corticosteroid-dependence means The need for ongoing or repeated doses administration of corticosteroids for at least 2 months to maintain a platelet count at or above 30 _ 109/L and/or to avoid bleeding. So, patients with corticosteroid dependence are considered non responders

So, patients with corticosteroid dependence are considered non responders The recent entry of Helicobacter pylori to the growing list of etiologies of itp has stirred much interest. . The relationship between H pylori infection and immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is less clear .

However, among patients with H.pylori-associated ITP, a significant percentage achieve lasting remission after eradication of H.pylori .

H.pylori can be readily detected by non invasive methods, the C-urea breath test and antigen detection in stools are considered to be the most accurate, with both sensitivity and specificity in the range of 90% to 95% .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Effects Toxics, run by Assiut University.

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 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 May 2017. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 primary thrombocytopenic patients with helicobacter pylori infection who recieved its treatment and improved clinically and laboratory. (time frame: one year). 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 22 May 2017.
