About this study

Official title: Randomized, Controlled, Open Study Investigating IGIV-C, 10% Given at Different Infusion Rates on Intravascular Hemolysis in Patients With Idiopathic (Immune) Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP)

The objective of this study is to determine if the safety and tolerability of Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human), 10% Caprylate/Chromatograph Purified (IGIV-C) is similar when infused at two different infusion rates.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, randomized, single-center, open, cross-over trial in patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP). ITP is defined as isolated thrombocytopenia in a patient with no other clinically apparent associated conditions or factors that are known to cause thrombocytopenia as defined by the ITP Practice Guidelines Committee of the American Society of Hematology.

Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human), 10% Caprylate/Chromatography Purified (IGIV-C) at a dose of 1.0 g/kg will be given on 2 occasions as a single daily infusion for platelet counts < 30,000 microliters (uL) or if clinically indicated, at maximum intervals of six weeks. Eligible patients will be randomized into one of two cross-over groups. Patients randomized to Group 1 will receive their first IGIV-C infusion at a rate of 0.08 mL/kg/min and their second infusion at a rate of 0.14 mL/kg/min. Conversely patients randomized to Group 2 will receive their first IGIV-C infusion at a rate of 0.14 mL/kg/min and their second infusion at a rate of 0.08 mL/kg/min according to the following schema:

Group 1:

  • Infusion #1 (Week 0) IGIV-C (0.08 mL/kg/min)
  • Infusion #2 (Week <6) IGIV-C (0.14 mL/kg/min)

Group 2:

  • Infusion #1 (Week 0) IGIV-C (0.14 mL/kg/min)
  • Infusion #2 (Week <6) IGIV-C (0.08 mL/kg/min)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Immune Globulin IV [Human], 10% Caprylate/Chromatography Purified in people with Purpura, Thrombocytopenic, Idiopathic, run by Grifols Therapeutics LLC at 1 site 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 6 inclusion and 14 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 27 Apr 2016. 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 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Aug 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Free Hemoglobin (time frame: 24 hours after treatment). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00220727, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Apr 2016.
