Trial summary

Intensive chemotherapy is associated with significant thrombocytopenia, often requiring platelet transfusion to maintain platelet counts. This investigational drug has demonstrated the ability to increase platelet counts. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of (PN-152,243)/PN-196,444 in the Prevention of Thrombocytopenia Administered to Patients With High-Risk Sarcoma Receiving Intensive Chemotherapy (Adriamycin and Ifosfamide (AI))

Intensive chemotherapy is associated with significant thrombocytopenia, often requiring platelet transfusion to maintain platelet counts. This investigational drug has demonstrated the ability to increase platelet counts. This study will test the safety and efficacy of an investigational drug in the prevention of thrombocytopenia in patients with high-risk sarcoma receiving AI (Adriamycin/Ifosfamide) chemotherapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the effectiveness of intravenous rhTPO versus placebo in reducing the cumulative proportion of patients who experience severe chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia.

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Identify the effect of rhTPO on the number of platelet transfusions.

  2. Evaluate the severity and duration of thrombocytopenia and neutropenia associated with rhTPO prophylaxis.

  3. Quantify the effect of rhTPO on the occurrence of any bleeding events associated with thrombocytopenia.

  4. Assess the likelihood that patients were to have adequate hematological recovery to allow on-time chemotherapy administration in the subsequent cycles.

  5. Assess the safety of multiple IV doses of rhTPO.

  6. Determine the occurrence and clinical implications of any anti-TPO antibodies.

  7. Assess the antitumor activity of AI chemotherapy.

  8. Evaluate the impact of rhTPO prophylaxis on health economics/cost effectiveness.

  9. Evaluate the impact of rhTPO prophylaxis on patient quality of life.

  10. Determine serum concentrations of TPO in the context of rhTPO and chemotherapy administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing PN-152,243)/PN-196,444 in people with Sarcoma, run by Pfizer at 6 sites in United States.

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 1 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 4 May 2015. 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 United States. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

To evaluate the effectiveness of intravenous rhTPO versus placebo in reducing the cumulative proportion of patients who experience severe chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia.. 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 4 May 2015.
