About this study

Proportion who would avoid splenectomy at 6 months of follow up

Read the detailed description
  1. If urea breath test (+); omeprazole 20mg bid, amoxicillin 1000mg bid and clarithromycin 500mg bid for 1 week. Second line Helicobacter pylori eradication will be permitted after failure of first line treatment.
  2. Anti-D Anti-Ro 50 μg/kg IV for 2 days (D1, 2)
  3. Danazol maintenance (from D1): Danazol will be continued at least 3 months. The dose of danazol can be reduced according to the adverse effects, especially in premenopausal women.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Steroid refractory ITP in people with Thrombocytopenia, run by Cooperative Study Group A for Hematology at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jul 2010. 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sung-Hwa Bae, professor (82-53-650-4388, sunghwa@cu.ac.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion who would avoid splenectomy at 6 months of follow up (time frame: 2years). 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 15 Jul 2010.
