Show all 15Show fewer
  • Patients currently undergoing chemotherapy.
  • Patients whose bone marrow did not recover after cancer treatment, or whose cause other than immune destruction was confirmed by bone marrow examination, such as thrombocytopenia due to intramedullary abnormalities. However, if the presence of anti-platelet antibodies is proven and thrombocytopenia due to immune destruction is strongly suspected clinically, registration is possible even if there are other causes of thrombocytopenia.)
  • Patients who may become pregnant. However, women of childbearing age(If postmenopausal women are not of childbearing age, they must have been menstruating for at least 12 months.) who have not undergone sterilization can participate in the clinical trial only if the pregnancy test is negative.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Study to Investigate Efficacy and Safety Evaluation of Bortezomib in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Immune Thrombocytopenia

to investigate efficacy and safety evaluation of bortezomib in patients with relapsed/refractory immune thrombocytopenia

Read the detailed description

A sufficient explanation of the study should be provided to outpatients or inpatients who meet the research subject selection criteria. Then, it is conducted for those who have given their voluntary consent to participate in the study. Those enrolled in the study conduct according to the criteria specified in the protocol. In this clinical trial, 3 weeks is defined as 1 cycle. A total of 3 cycles will be performed, and follow-up will be conducted for 12 months. The study subjects will receive the test drug on an outpatient basis. At each outpatient visit, vital signs, medical history, physical examination, ECOG evaluation and blood tests are performed, and adverse reactions are checked. Bone marrow blood test is performed as an option at the discretion of the investigator.

Being tested
Bortezomib
Medical subject headings
Purpura, Thrombocytopenic, Idiopathic

What participants receive

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bortezomib in people with Relapsed/Refractory Immune Thrombocytopenia, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 4 sites in South Korea.

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 20 inclusion and 15 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 2 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in South Korea. 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?

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 Dong-Yeop Shin, MD, PhD (02-2072-7209, stephano.dyshin@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Confirmation of efficacy of bortezomib in patients with relapsed/refractory immune thrombocytopenia requiring treatment (time frame: at week 9.). 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 2 Feb 2026.
