Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: adult patients with severe ITP who underwent IVIG therapy and had platelet autoantibodies assayed

Who may be able to join

  • (1) the diagnosis of ITP was based on the presence of isolated thrombocytopenia and the absence of any obvious initiating and/or underlying cause of the thrombocytopenia in accordance with the recently released international consensus guidelines,(2) a diagnosis was established during the 4 weeks prior to initiation of IVIG treatment, (3) age ≥ 18 years, (4) a platelet count of ≤ 20 × 109/L, and (5) a bleeding score ≥ 9 at the time of admission according to the clinical scoring system described by Khellaf et al. to assess the severity of hemorrhage.

Who cannot join

  • a history of any ITP-specific treatment administered prior to or concomitantly with the IVIG

About this study

Official title: Autoantibody Specificity and Response to Intravenous Immunoglobulin G (IVIG) in Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP): a Retrospective Cohort Study

The objective of this human study was to evaluate the association between the specificity of anti-platelet autoantibodies and response to IVIG treatment.

Read the detailed description

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a common autoimmune bleeding disorder, in which platelet surface GPIIb/IIIa and GPIb/IX are the two most frequently targeted autoantigens. Our previous studies in animal models of ITP demonstrated that intravenous immunoglobulin G (IVIG) could protect against anti-GPIIb/IIIa-mediated thrombocytopenia but failed to ameliorate ITP induced by most anti-GPIb/IX antibodies. The objective of this human study was to evaluate the association between the specificity of anti-platelet autoantibodies and response to IVIG treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. initial response

    The criteria for an initial response was a platelet count ≥ 30 × 109/L and doubling of the baseline count within 7 days of dosing (confirmed on at least 2 separate occasions at least 7 days apart), and absence of bleeding.

    Measured: within 7 days of dosing

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP), run by Shandong University 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 1 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 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 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?

initial response (time frame: within 7 days of dosing). 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 NCT01666795, 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.
