About this study

The Internal Medicine Department of Haut-Lévêque Hospital (Pr E LAZARO, Pr JL PELLEGRIN, Pr JF VIALLARD) was accredited in 2017 by the Ministry of Health as a Constitutive Reference Center for Autoimmune Cytopenia. The investigators wish to launch new research projects in autoimmune cytopenia and propose a translational and fundamental research based on collaboration between the clinical department, the biological resource center and the CNRS and INSERM research units ("Bedside to the Bench Strategy"). Thus, in the perspective of future research work, it seems imperative to set up a biological bank for the patients followed in our Reference Center.

Read the detailed description

Our department follows about 350 patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), 50 with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AHA), and about thirty patients for autoimmune neutropenia and erythroblastopenia. The number of new patients per year is about 50. The investigators are working since several years on different research topics concerning ITP and AHA.

In the field of ITP, the investigators are working on abnormalities of megakaryopoiesis present in a particular subgroup of patients. The investigators seek to identify the molecular mechanisms underlying this platelet-forming disorder. This research is done within the INSERM U1034 unit of the University of Bordeaux.

In AHA, The investigators are working on the role of regulatory CD8+ T lymphocytes and the interest of low doses of Interleukin-2 in their treatment. This part is carried out within the CNRS unit UMR 5164 ImmunoConcept. The biological collection the investigators wish to create will be available for basic research projects and may be available to the pharmaceutical industry as part of the development of new molecules.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Immune Thrombocytopenia and Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux at 1 site in France.

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 3 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Mar 2025. 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 France. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Jean-François VIALLARD, Prof (05.57.65.64.83 ext. +33, jean-françois.viallard@chu-bordeaux.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients with autoimmune cytopenia at diagnosis, or followed but not treated with a biological library (serum, plasma, DNA) (time frame: At baseline (Day 0)). 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 26 Mar 2025.
