About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Single-Arm, Open Label Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Maintenance Treatment With Recombinant Human Thrombopoietin in Thrombocytopenic Subjects With Immune Thrombocytopenia

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rhTPO in the maintenance treatment of ITP, to explore the appropriate dosing interval of the maintenance treatment of rhTPO .

Read the detailed description

The eligible subjects with ITP firstly will receive a pre-treatment of rhTPO 300 IU/Kg once daily up to 14 days. The subjects with two consecutive platelet counts above 50×10^9/L in the pre-treatment period will begin to receive maintenance treatment of rhTPO 300 IU/Kg for 12 weeks. In the period of maintenance treatment, starting dosing interval of rhTPO is every other day followed by the interval adjustments for keeping platelet counts between 30 ×10^9/L~100 ×10^9/L. Subsequently, subjects will stop treatment of rhTPO and be followed up for 4 weeks after maintenance treatment.

Platelet count, bleeding and other symptoms will be evaluated before and after treatment.

Platelet transfusion will be administered to subjects with active bleeding symptoms.

Toxicity will be monitored continuously during the entire study. Safety will be assessed by adverse events and laboratory tests.

What participants receive

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

  • rhTPODrug

    Also called Recombinant Human Thrombopoietin, Recombinant Human TPO

    Subcutaneously dosing of rhTPO is based on screening weight. Subjects will be given rhTPO 300 IU/Kg once daily up to 14 days in the pre-treatment period . When two consecutive platelet counts is above 50×10^9/L, the subjects will be begin to receive maintenance treatment of rhTPO 300 IU/Kg. In the period of maintenance treatment, starting dosing interval of rhTPO is every other day followed by the interval adjustments for keeping platelet counts between 30×10^9/L~100×10^9/L.

What is being measured

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

  1. The effective rate of maintenance treatment (the platelet count continued to be over 30 × 10^9/L)

    Measured: up to 16 weeks per subject

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The effective rate of maintenance treatments adopting different frequency of administration

    Measured: up to 16 weeks per subject

  2. Number of subjects with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety

    Measured: up to 18 weeks per subject

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing rhTPO in people with Thrombocytopenia and Immune Thrombocytopenia, run by Peking Union Medical College 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 4 inclusion and 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 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 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yongqiang Zhao, Dr. (535114726@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The effective rate of maintenance treatment (the platelet count continued to be over 30 × 10^9/L) (time frame: up to 16 weeks per subject). 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 6 Mar 2013.
