Trial summary

Current diagnostic criteria for Immune ThrombocytoPenia (ITP) are mainly based on the presence of low numbers of platelets, excluding other multiple causes of thrombocytopenia, including immunodeficiencies, constitutional or acquired thrombocytopenia, hypersplenism and clonal hematological disorders such as MDS… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Differential Diagnostic of ITP and MDS: a Prospective Study by Next-Generation Flow Cytometry and Cytomorphological Approaches

Current diagnostic criteria for Immune ThrombocytoPenia (ITP) are mainly based on the presence of low numbers of platelets, excluding other multiple causes of thrombocytopenia, including immunodeficiencies, constitutional or acquired thrombocytopenia, hypersplenism and clonal hematological disorders such as MDS, disorders lymphoproliferative and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), among others. The analysis complementary tests for the diagnosis of ITP include studies basic systematic hematology, together with autoimmune assays and microbiological tests, while the evaluation of bone marrow is limited to elderly patients and/or patients resistant to treatment. Previous research has described the development of Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) in patients with a previous diagnosis of ITP, and even the presence of MDS associated with genetic background. Therefore, it is conceivable fact that a percentage of cases with clinical signs of ITP in the moment of appearance may actually correspond to the first stages of MDS development in which bone marrow cells are not systematically evaluated in the initial presentation.

The anomalous immunophenotypic patterns between multiple compartments of bone marrow cells and peripherally blood (PB) platelets have been characterized through flow cytometry. The flow cytometry currently represents an important complementary tool for diagnosis of MDS that has shown great effectiveness and applicability in the differential diagnosis of non-clonal cytopenias against early MDS and for the detection of stages prior to MDS. Besides, the flow cytometry has made it possible to detect the presence of coexisting features related to MDS in patients with other malignancies hematologic conditions such as multiple myeloma, AML, and lymphocytic leukemia chronic. Therefore, the immunophenotypic analysis of the cells of the bone marrow of patients with ITP at the time of appearance would help to identify the cases that underlie clonal hematopoiesis MDS type. In the present study it is planned a broad characterization immunophenotyping of multiple compartments of bone marrow cells and PB platelets from patients with recently diagnosed ITP and investigate their morphological antecedents, in order to identify those patients who show compatible clonal hematopoietic patterns with MDS evident (or at risk of development), as candidates to receive most appropriate therapeutic methods.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Immune Thrombocytopenia and Myelodysplastic Syndromes, run by Fundacion CRIS de Investigación para Vencer el Cáncer at 6 sites in Spain.

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 2 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 18 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Spain. 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 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?

Morphological profile (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Aug 2021.
