About this study

The investigators are trying to investigate the coagulation status of idiopathic (immune) thrombocytopenic purpura patients by measuring the platelet count, coagulation battery, von Willebrand factor level, thromboelastography.

Read the detailed description

In patients with chronic coagulation disorder, laboratory model and clinical data have shown evidence for a rebalanced hemostasis. Previous study showed that the platelet count may not predict the risk of bleeding since the platelet count is not an indicator of platelet function. Thromboelastography may be the choice of investigation when platelet function is in question especially in patients with idiopathic (immune) thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Previous study have shown that maximum clot formation is the most important thromboelastography parameter in predicting bleeding in ITP patients that makes thromboelastography superior to other hemostatic tests. The investigators are trying to evaluate the rebalanced hemostasis in patients with ITP by comparing the value of platelet count, von Willebrand factor antigen level, and thromboelastography parameters.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, run by Samsung Medical Center 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 2 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 25 Dec 2013. 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.

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?

maximum clot formation (time frame: within 3 hour of blood sampling). 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 25 Dec 2013.
