What is being measured

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

  1. Weeks With Weekly Platelet Response

    Number of weeks with weekly platelet response. A weekly platelet response is defined as a platelet count of ≥ 50 x 10^9/L on a weekly scheduled dose day from week 2 to week 13.

    Measured: 12 weeks (Weeks 2 - 13)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Increased Platelet Count From Baseline of at Least 20 x 10^9/L

    An increase in platelet count of at least 20 x 10^9/L from baseline within the participant during the treatment period. Increase was calculated as the maximum observed platelet count during the treatment period minus the baseline platelet count.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks (Weeks 2 - 13)

  2. Change From Baseline in Mean of Last 4 Weekly Platelet Counts

    Change from baseline in the mean of the last 4 weekly platelet counts from week 2 to week 13.

    Measured: 12 weeks (Weeks 2 - 13)

  3. Weeks With Platelet Count Between 50 and 200

    Number of weeks with platelet count between 50 x 10^9/L and 200 x 10^9/L inclusive during week 2 to week 13.

    Measured: 12 weeks (Weeks 2 - 13)

  4. Rescue Medication(s)

    Requirement for rescue medication(s) during treatment by the participant

    Measured: 12 weeks (Weeks 2 - 13)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing AMG 531 in people with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, 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 9 inclusion and 16 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 8 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 10 Dec 2010). 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?

Weeks With Weekly Platelet Response (time frame: 12 weeks (Weeks 2 - 13)). 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 8 Nov 2022.
