About this study

Official title: A Study of All-trans Retinoic Acid in the Treatment of Immune Thrombocytopenia

An open-label, multicenter study to compare the efficacy and safety of ATRA for the treatment of adults with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP)

Read the detailed description

The investigators are undertaking an open-label, single-arm, multicenter trial of adults patients with ITP in China. Patients with treatmant naive ITP were given ATRA treatment. Platelet count, bleeding and other symptoms were evaluated before and after treatment. Adverse events are also recorded throughout the study.

Being tested
all trans retinoic acid
Medical subject headings
Purpura, Thrombocytopenic, Idiopathic

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • all trans retinoic acidDrug

    Also called ATRA

    ATRA is given concomitantly at a daily dose of 10 mg twice daily orally for 12 weeks

What is being measured

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

  1. Sustained response

    The maintenance of platelet count ≥ 30 x 10^9/L, at least 2-fold increase of the baseline count, the absence of bleeding, and no need for rescue medication at the 6-month follow-up

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. complete response (CR)

    complete response (CR) was defined as platelet count more than 100,000 per cubic millimeter and absence of bleeding.

    Measured: day 14

  2. Response (R)

    Response (R) as platelet count more than 30,000 per cubic millimeter and at least 2-fold increase of the baseline count and absence of bleeding.

    Measured: day 14

  3. Number of patients with bleeding

    Number of patients with bleeding complication ( WHO bleeding score).

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Number of patients with adverse events

    Number of patients with adverse events

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Time to response

    The time from starting treatment to time of achievement of CR or R

    Measured: 6 months

  6. Duration of response (DOR)

    Duration of response at 6-month follow up.

    Measured: 6 months

  7. loss of response

    Platelet counts below 100 x 109/L or bleeding (from CR) or platelet counts below 30 x 109/L, less than 2-fold increase of baseline platelet count or bleeding (from R)

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing all trans retinoic acid in people with Immune Thrombocytopenia, run by Peking University People's Hospital 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 4 inclusion and 8 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 5 Nov 2020. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 Xiaohui Zhang, Doctor (+8613522338836, zhangxh100@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sustained response (time frame: 6 months). 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 5 Nov 2020.
