About this study

Official title: Retrospective Analysis of the Safety and Efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine in Immune Thrombocytopenia Among 40 Patients

Retrospective study of the safety and efficacy of hydroxychloroquine among patients with immune Thrombopenia (ITP).

Read the detailed description

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is usually used in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in order to treat mainly arthralgia or skin manifestations of this disease. A few studies have previously shown that HCQ could also be useful for treating autoimmune cytopenia and particularly autoimmune thrombopenia associated with SLE. In this retrospective study, the investigators have selected patients followed in our center and who have received HCQ either for an authentic SLE or because they had positive antinuclear antibodies (> 1/160e on HEP2 cells) without a definite SLE according to the American College of Rheumatology.

The main goal of this study is to compare the efficacy of HCQ in these two subgroups of patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients achieving a response (Platelet count > 30x10^9/L and doubling of the baseline count) or a complete response (platelet count > 100x10^9/L for a t least 6 months)

    Time to achieve a response, concomittant(s) treatment(s), need for an emergency treatment

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Tolerance of Hydroxychloroquine

    allergy, myopathy HCQ induced

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Immune Thrombocytopenia and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, run by Henri Mondor University Hospital.

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 21 Mar 2012. 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?

Number of patients achieving a response (Platelet count > 30x10^9/L and doubling of the baseline count) or a complete response (platelet count > 100x10^9/L for a t least 6 months) (time frame: one year). 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 NCT01549184, 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 21 Mar 2012.
