About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Prospective, Multicenter Study to Investigate the Specificity of in Vivo Antibody Binding to Red Blood Cells in Subjects With Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) Treated With IgPro10 (Privigen®) Who Have Shown Signs of Hemolysis

It is known that intravenous immunoglobulins can induce hemolysis, but the mechanism is not known in detail. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the specificity of antigens on red blood cells in patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) who have shown signs of clinically relevant hemolysis following treatment with the intravenous immunoglobin Privigen®. The study was to explore potential mechanisms of hemolysis by analysis of the specificity of the antibodies possibly involved. To distinguish between clinically non-relevant hemolysis and a relevant intravascular hemolysis, an independent adjudication by a committee was performed for each patient with signs of hemolysis determined in the laboratory or in the clinic.

This study was requested as a post-marketing commitment study by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). By September 2014, no case of clinically significant intravascular hemolysis was found, and the FDA agreed to halt the study and analyze all hemolysis-relevant endpoints using FDA criteria for hemolysis in addition to analyses planned in the protocol. The study was not restarted.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • IgPro10Biological

    Also called Privigen

    IgPro10 will be administrated by IV infusion either a single dose of 1 g/kg bw on 1 day or 2 doses of 1 g/kg bw on 2 days (2 g/kg bw total dose) dependent on the response to the first treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Set of Antibodies Most Frequently Bound to Red Blood Cells (RBCs) in Subjects Experiencing Clinically Significant Intravascular Hemolysis

    The occurrence of clinically significant intravascular hemolysis was determined by an independent Adjudication Committee. No subject experienced clinically significant intravascular hemolysis; therefore, the primary safety endpoint could not be analyzed.

    Measured: Within 3 days of infusion

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Responder Rate

    The responder rate is the percentage of subjects who have a platelet response (defined as a platelet count increase at least once to ≥ 50 x 10^9/L after the first IgPro10 administration).

    Measured: Within 6 days after the first infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing IgPro10 in people with Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura, run by CSL Behring at 17 sites in 3 countries.

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 6 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 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 17 sites in Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 Oct 2015). 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?

Set of Antibodies Most Frequently Bound to Red Blood Cells (RBCs) in Subjects Experiencing Clinically Significant Intravascular Hemolysis (time frame: Within 3 days of infusion). 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 Apr 2016.
