Trial summary

This study was conducted in conjunction with the 2 phase 3 studies of AMG 531 (20030105 and 20030212) and an open-label extension study (20030213) and compared pretreatment and posttreatment bone marrow samples for the purpose of studying morphologic changes. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effects of Long-term Dosing of AMG 531 on Bone Marrow Morphology in Thrombocytopenic Subjects With Immune (Idiopathic) Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP)

This study was conducted in conjunction with the 2 phase 3 studies of AMG 531 (20030105 and 20030212) and an open-label extension study (20030213) and compared pretreatment and posttreatment bone marrow samples for the purpose of studying morphologic changes.

Read the detailed description

This study is to be performed in conjunction with the phase 3 treatment studies (20030105 and 20030212) and with the open label extension study (20030213).

Subjects who are screening for participation in the phase 3 studies will be asked to consider participation in this bone marrow study. At least 10 subjects from each of the two phase 3 studies (20030105 and 20030212) will enroll in this study. This will ensure enrollment of subjects who are both non-splenectomized and splenectomized.

All subjects who participate must have had a bone marrow biopsy within one year prior to enrollment, and must release the tissue block to Amgen for interpretation by a central pathology laboratory. Subjects that do not have a historical bone marrow within one year (with available tissue block) must have a baseline bone marrow biopsy and aspirate performed prior to dosing with AMG 531.

Subjects will be assigned to a follow-up bone marrow biopsy and aspirate after either 9 months or 6 months of treatment. The subjects will be assigned to follow-up time in descending order, with the first 5 subjects from each study assigned to 9 month follow-up, and the last 5 subjects from each study assigned to 6 month follow-up. Some subjects will have their follow-up bone marrow biopsy and aspirate while on the open label extension study (20030213).

To eliminate the possibility of performing a bone marrow biopsy and aspirate on a placebo subject, all subjects who were assigned to a 6 month follow-up will be unblinded at the end of the phase 3 study treatment period (week 26). If the subject was on AMG 531, they must have their follow-up bone marrow biopsy and aspirate within one week (week 27). If the subject was on placebo, they will have their follow-up bone marrow performed after 3 months of treatment in the open label study.

The subjects that were assigned to a 9 month follow-up will have their platelet counts monitored as required by the phase 3 protocol. Any subject who has a platelet count > 50 x 109/L at week 26 of the phase 3 study, will be required to schedule a bone marrow biopsy and aspirate for week 27. If their platelet count is still > 50 x 109/L at week 27, they will have their bone marrow biopsy and aspirate at that time. If their platelet count drops to ≤ 50 x 109/L prior to week 27, they will have their follow-up bone marrow biopsy and aspirate performed after completing 3 months of treatment on the open label study (20030213).

Subjects who discontinue AMG 531 treatment will have the follow-up bone marrow biopsy and aspirate at the time of discontinuation, regardless of the pre-assigned date of the follow-up.

If a subject requires a bone marrow biopsy and aspirate as part of a safety assessment, this assessment will be counted as the follow-up bone marrow biopsy regardless of the timing of the assessment. Any additional clinically warranted bone marrow biopsies will also be sent to the central pathology lab for review.

All bone marrow biopsy reports will be provided by the central lab at the end of this study, but will not be available for clinical management at the time that the sample is collected.

All bone marrow biopsies will be evaluated by the central pathology lab.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of 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 3 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 16 Jul 2010. 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.

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?

The changes from baseline in bone marrow morphology by subject (time frame: Entire duration of the study). 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 NCT00861224, 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 16 Jul 2010.
