About this study

Official title: ICON1: Physician Treatment Decisions and Patient-Reported Outcomes in Pediatric Refractory Immune Thrombocytopenia

The purpose of this study is to understand physician treatment decisions in selecting specific second line treatments in pediatric ITP and to determine the effectiveness of different second line ITP treatments. Eligible patients are those ages 1-18 years who are starting on a new second line treatment for ITP, defined as any treatment other than IVIG, steroids, anti-D globulin, or aminocaproic acid. Enrolled patients remain on the study for approximately one year.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this observational study is to model factors that determine physician treatment decisions in selecting specific second line agents in pediatric ITP and to determine the comparative effectiveness of second line ITP treatments by bleeding measures, platelet counts, and patient reported outcome measures. This prospective observational, longitudinal, multicenter cohort study will aim to collect routine clinical care data, quality of life information from patients, and decision making data from clinicians at enrollment and at regular clinical intervals for at least one year. The primary and secondary objectives are as follows:

Primary Objectives:

  1. To model factors that determine physician treatment decisions in selecting specific second line agents in pediatric ITP.
  2. To assess patient reported outcomes with relation to specific second line pediatric ITP therapies.
  3. To determine the comparative effectiveness of second line ITP treatments in terms of bleeding and platelet counts.

Secondary Objectives:

  1. To describe phenotypic variation among patients with refractory ITP;
  2. To assess side effects and complications related to specific treatments for refractory ITP;
  3. To describe monitoring and follow up practices among pediatric hematologists with each second line agent;
  4. To weight factors that physicians use when deciding to treat pediatric ITP patients with second line agents;
  5. To determine whether physician perception of patient quality of life correlates with patient derived quality of life measures;
  6. To measure the correlation between the ITP Bleeding Scale and the Bleeding Assessment Tool in refractory pediatric ITP patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Immune Thrombocytopenia, run by Boston Children's Hospital at 29 sites in 2 countries.

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 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 21 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 29 sites in United States, Canada. 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?

change from baseline in patient reported outcomes (time frame: Enrollment, 1 and 12 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01971684, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 21 May 2020.
