About this study

Official title: An Open Label Study of Romiplostim in Adult Thrombocytopenic Subjects With Immune (Idiopathic) Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP)

This protocol will provide open label romiplostim to adult thrombocytopenic subjects. Romiplostim will be administered by subcutaneous injection once per week. Dose adjustment will be based on platelet counts, and will be allowed throughout the duration of the study. Rescue therapies are allowed at any time during the study. Reductions in concurrent ITP therapies may occur at any time when platelet counts are > 50,000.

What participants receive

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

  • RomiplostimBiological

    Romiplostim will be administered subcutaneously QW. Romiplostim will be manufactured and packaged and distributed using Amgen's clinical study investigational product distribution procedures. Romiplostim is presented as a lyophilized, white powder in 5.0 mL glass vials.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adverse Events

    One or more occurences of one or more adverse events within the participant during the study. Participants with more than one event were only counted once

    Measured: Duration of Treatment plus 30 days or End of Study (whichever is later). Approximately 205 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Platelet Response (Definition 1)

    Platelet response using definition1 . (a doubling of baseline platelet count and a platelet count of >=50 x 10^9/L

    Measured: Duration of treatment (up to 201 weeks)

  2. Platelet Response (Definition 2)

    Platelet response using definition 2 (a platelet count increase of >=20 x 109/L from baseline)

    Measured: Duration of treatment (up to 201 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Romiplostim in people with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura and Thrombocytopenia, run by Amgen.

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 7 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 14 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 13 Feb 2012). 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?

Adverse Events (time frame: Duration of Treatment plus 30 days or End of Study (whichever is later). Approximately 205 weeks.). 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 NCT00508820, 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 14 Nov 2022.
