About this study

Official title: Vaccine Response After Rituximab for Chronic, Severe Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP)

The purpose of this study is to determine how children with a history of severe, chronic Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) who were treated with rituximab might respond to vaccines. Eligible patients are previously or currently enrolled in a study entitled "Open Label, Phase I/II Trial of Rituximab for Chronic, Severe Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura in Children and Adolescents" and have decided to obtain an inactivated influenza vaccination. These patients will be invited to provide one blood sample prior to vaccination and a second sample following vaccination to quantify immune response to vaccination.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this ancillary, pilot-phase study is to determine how children with a history of severe, chronic ITP who were treated with rituximab might respond to vaccines. Eligible patients are previously or currently enrolled in a study entitled "Open Label, Phase I/II Trial of Rituximab for Chronic, Severe Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura in Children and Adolescents" (CHB 02-12-160) and have decided to obtain the trivalent, inactivated influenza vaccination. These patients will be invited to provide one blood sample prior to vaccination and a second sample 4-8 weeks after vaccination to quantify immune response to vaccination. Additionally, if patients are scheduled to receive a tetanus booster vaccination within one month before or after the influenza vaccination, response to tetanus will also be quantified. This sample will be collected during the same phlebotomy as the influenza sample. In some cases, a blood sample was stored prior to rituximab treatment and will be used for baseline assessment. The primary and secondary objectives for this study are as follows:

Primary:

  • To determine the portion of patients who will respond adequately to influenza vaccination, with adequacy defined as a titer greater than 1:32 for each strain of virus in the vaccine, measured 4-8 weeks after administration of the vaccine OR greater than a four-fold increase in titers measured 4-8 weeks after administration of the vaccine

Secondary Objectives:

  • To evaluate the ability to mount a response to the influenza vaccine, with response defined as any increase in influenza antibody titer for each strain of virus between samples before and 4-8 weeks after vaccination.
  • To evaluate the ability to mount an adequate response to tetanus toxoid, with adequacy defined as in the primary objective.
  • To evaluate the ability to mount a response to tetanus toxoid, with response defined as above.
  • To compare response to influenza vaccination received less than one year after rituximab and greater than one year after rituximab.

What is being measured

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

  1. The number of patients with a titer greater than 1:32 OR greater than 4-fold increase in titer for each strain of virus in the influenza vaccine at 4-8 weeks after vaccination

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The number of patients with any increase in titer for each strain of virus in the influenza vaccine at 4-8 weeks after vaccination

  2. The number of patients with a titer greater than 1:32 OR greater than 4-fold increase in titer for each strain of virus in the tetanus vaccine at 4-8 weeks after vaccination

  3. The number of patients with any increase in titer for each strain of virus in the tetanus vaccine at 4-8 weeks after vaccination.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Inactivated Trivalent Influenza vaccine in people with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura and Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura, run by Neufeld, Ellis J, MD, PhD at 3 sites in United States.

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 4 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 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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?

The number of patients with a titer greater than 1:32 OR greater than 4-fold increase in titer for each strain of virus in the influenza vaccine at 4-8 weeks after vaccination. 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 Oct 2012.
