About this study

Official title: Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Octagam® 10% in Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura in Adults

Octagam is a solvent/detergent-treated human normal immunoglobulin (IGIV) solution for intravenous administration. Octagam 5% is currently registered in about 80 countries. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of Octagam 10% in Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) in adults. As Octagam 10% is essentially similar to Octagam 5%, it is expected that Octagam 10% is as efficacious and safe (in respect to viral safety) as Octagam 5%.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of the study was to investigate the efficacy of Octagam® 10% in correcting platelet count. The blood count as well as laboratory chemistry were checked repeatedly up to day 21.

The secondary objective of the study was to investigate the safety of Octagam® 10%. Safety was assessed by monitoring vital signs, evaluating adverse events, assessing laboratory parameters, and by viral safety testing.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With a Clinical Response

    A clinical response is defined as an increase in platelet count to ≥ 50*10^9/L on any day from Day 2 to Day 7.

    Measured: Day 2 to Day 7

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time to Achieve a Clinical Response

    A clinical response is defined as an increase in platelet count to ≥ 50*10^9/L on any day from Day 2 to Day 7.

    Measured: Day 2 to Day 7

  2. Maximum Platelet Count

    Platelet count was assessed on Days 2 through 7 and on Days 14, 21, and 63. The maximum measured platelet count is reported.

    Measured: Day 2 to the end of the study (Day 63)

  3. Duration of the Clinical Response

    The duration of the clinical response was the number of days that the platelet count remained ≥ 50*10^9/L. Platelet count was assessed on Days 2 through 7 and on Days 14, 21, and 63. A conservative method was used to calculate the duration of the clinical response. For example, if the platelet count was ≥ 50*10^9/L on Day 7 and dropped below 50*10^9/L at Day 14, Day 7 was used as the last day to calculate the duration of the clinical response. The same procedure was used if the platelet count dropped below 50*10^9/L at Day 21 from Day 14 or Day 63 from Day 21.

    Measured: Day 2 to the end of the study (Day 63)

  4. Percentage of Participants With None, Minor, Mild, or Moderate Bleeding at Day 7

    The investigator evaluated the severity of bleeding using the following rating scale: None (definitely no haemorrhage of any kind), Minor (few petechiae [≤ 100 total] and/or ≤ 5 small bruises [≤ 3 cm diameter], no mucosal bleeding), Mild (many petechiae [> 100 total] and/or > 5 large bruises [> 3 cm diameter], no mucosal bleeding), Moderate (overt mucosal bleeding [epistaxis, gum bleeding, oropharyngeal blood blisters, menorrhagia, gastrointestinal bleeding, etc] that does not require immediate medical attention or intervention).

    Measured: Day 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Octagam 10% in people with Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura, run by Octapharma at 1 site in Austria.

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 2 inclusion and 12 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 1 Aug 2014. 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 Austria. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 May 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?

Percentage of Participants With a Clinical Response (time frame: Day 2 to Day 7). 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 NCT00426270, 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 1 Aug 2014.
