About this study

Official title: Study Of The Effects Of Oprelvekin On Cardiac Repolarization In Subjects At Risk Of Severe Thrombocytopenia After Myelosuppressive Chemotherapy

This is an open-label study in which oprelvekin will be administered for the prevention of severe low blood platelet cell counts (cells in your blood that keep bleeding and clotting stable) in adults with cancer who are taking chemotherapy (anti-cancer drug) that has a side effect of blocking your bone marrow from making platelet cells. The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of the recommended dose of oprelvekin on the heart's electrical cycle.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time-matched Change From Baseline in Corrected QT Interval Using a Population-specific Correction Formula (QTcN)

    Because the sponsor terminated the study prematurely, this population-specific correction of QT was not done. QT data collected during the study corrected using the Bazett's and Fridericia formulae are presented as secondary outcome measures.

    Measured: Postdose Day 1 to end of treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants With Time-matched Change From Baseline in Corrected QT (QTc) Interval ≥30 or 60 Msec Using Fridericia's (QTcF) and Bazett's (QTcB) Correction Formulas

    Based on average across triplicates for a given hourly measurement.

    Measured: Postdose Day 1 to end of treatment

  2. Number of Participants With Corrected QT (QTc) Interval ≥450, ≥480, and ≥500 Msec Using Bazett's (QTcB) and Fridericia's (QTcF) Correction Formulas

    Definition of QTc is based on observed individual values rather than the average across triplicate starting from Day 1 postdose through the end of treatment.

    Measured: Postdose Day 1 to end of treatment

Timeline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing oprelvekin in people with Severe Thrombocytopenia, run by Pfizer at 14 sites 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 3 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites 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 19 Apr 2017). 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?

Time-matched Change From Baseline in Corrected QT Interval Using a Population-specific Correction Formula (QTcN) (time frame: Postdose Day 1 to end of treatment). 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 19 Apr 2017.
