Study population: 100

Who may be able to join

  • Patients may be male or female, between the ages of 16 ~ 75 years old.
  • Isolated thrombocytopenia with an otherwise normal peripheral blood smear and no other causes of thrombocytopenia, morphologically normal bone marrow aspirate with normal to increased number of megakaryocytes, and absence of splenomegaly.
  • To show a platelet count ≤ 30 × 109/L, or platelet count ≥ 30 × 109/L with bleeding manifestations at the moment of the first infusion with the study product.
  • ECOG performance status ≤ 2.
  • Patients failed to respond to acceptable dose of steroids for 4 weeks, or relapsed. Some patients were also refractory to splenectomy.
  • Patients must be willing and able to give written informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Received chemotherapy or anticoagulants or other drugs affecting the platelet counts within 3 months before the screening visit.
  • Received second-line ITP-specific treatments (eg, cyclophosphamide, 6-mercaptopurine, vincristine, vinblastine, etc) within 3 months before the screening visit.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of platelet response (Complete Response)

    CR. A complete response (CR) was defined as a sustained (≥ 4 months) platelet count ≥ 100×109/L without recurrence of thrombocytopenia

    Measured: The time frame is up to 14 days per subject

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Evaluation of platelet response (R)

    1. A response (R) was defined as a sustained (≥ 4 months) platelet count ≥ 30×109/L without recurrence of thrombocytopenia

    Measured: The time frame is up to 14 days per subject

  2. The time of rhIL-11 onset.

    The time to platelet recovery (defined as the number of days from the start of the study to the first day with a platelet count of ≥30 × 109/L)

    Measured: The time frame is up to 28 days per subject.

  3. DFS

    The median disease-free survival periods

    Measured: The time frame is up to 90 days per subject.

  4. The number and frequency of IL-11 associated adverse events.

    Measured: up to 14 days per subject

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Purpura, Thrombocytopenic, Idiopathic, run by Ming Hou at 1 site in China.

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 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Apr 2016. 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 China. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Evaluation of platelet response (Complete Response) (time frame: The time frame is up to 14 days per subject). 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 NCT01317966, 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 20 Apr 2016.
