Trial summary

To utilise extended platelet parameters in order to individuate Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) from hypo-proliferative causes of thrombocytopenia. To develop the clinical potential of the extended platelet parameters as they pertain to distinguishing different causes of thrombocytopenia from one another. Read more about this study

Study population: The study population would consist of adult female and male subjects of all ethnic persuasions in good general health apart from thrombocytopenia, bone marrow aplasia, myelodysplasia, or active malignancy requiring therapy. Vulnerable strata of the hospital population will not be recruited into the study.

  • All individuals age 18yrs and above capable of rendering consent
  • Known ITP confirmed by response to intravenous immune globulin (IVIG), glucocorticoids, or winRho and exclusion of all other possible causes of thrombocytopenia
  • Confirmed aplastic anemia [as assessed through bone marrow trephine biopsy]
  • Chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia assessed at time of predicted nadir.

Who cannot join

  • Suspected multifactorial thrombocytopenias and thrombocytopenia due to hypersplenism

About this study

To utilise extended platelet parameters in order to individuate Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) from hypo-proliferative causes of thrombocytopenia.

To develop the clinical potential of the extended platelet parameters as they pertain to distinguishing different causes of thrombocytopenia from one another.

To test the hypothesis that mean platelet component (MPC) and mean platelet mass (MPM) might distinguish between thrombocytopenia related to bone marrow dysfunction and immune mediated destruction of platelets.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Immune ThrombocytopenicsThe study shall be a single institution prospective cohort study. Comparison will be made among individuals with known ITP . Those with known hypo-proliferative forms of thrombocytopenia [aplastic anaemia, chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia, and myelodysplastic thrombocytopenia, and a control population.
Receives: Other: Immune Thrombocytopenics
Hypo-proliferative thrombocytopenicsThe study shall be a single institution prospective cohort study. Comparison will be made between individuals with known ITP versus those with known hypo-proliferative forms of thrombocytopenia [aplastic anaemia, chemotherapy--induced thrombocytopenia, and myelodysplastic thrombocytopenia], and a control population.
Receives: Other: Hypo-proliferative thrombocytopenics
Control Pupulationcomprised of healthy individuals with normal platelet counts, to confirm normal values for MPC and MPM
Receives: Other: Control Population

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Immune Thrombocytopenia and Chemotherapy Induced Thrombocytopenia, run by Beth Israel Medical Center at 1 site 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 17 May 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 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?

Increased platelet density (time frame: 12 months). 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 17 May 2016.
