About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double Blind Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Eltrombopag as a Rescue of Isolated Chemotherapy-induced Thrombocytopenia in Patients With Solid Tumor

The purpose of this study is evaluate the efficacy and safety of eltrombopag as a rescue of isolated chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia in patients with solid tumor .

Read the detailed description

For the phase III study, a double-blind randomized, placebo controlled, parallel-group design will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy of eltombopag . Each subject will be randomly assigned to either Arm A (eltombopag) or Arm B (placebo) in 2:1 ratio.

The primary objective is to compare the response rates of the two treatment arms, Therefore, the two-proportion z test will be considered and sample size can be chosen to achieve an 95% power for detecting a clinically meaningful difference at level of significance=0.05. A difference of 40% in clinical response is considered of clinically meaningful difference between the two treatment arms (75% for eltombopag vs. 35% for placebo). It requires a total sample of 83 subjects (55 for eltombopag and 28 for placebo). According to the 10% loss of screening failure, 90-100 subjects (60-67 for eltombopag and 30-33 for placebo) will be recruited.

What participants receive

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

  • EltrombopagDrug

    Also called Revolade

    This will be a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Qualified subjects will be randomly assigned to receive either the test treatment or the placebo at 2:1 ratio. Once subjects are randomized, they will be treated with Arm A: Eltrombopag 50 mg/day (n=55) or Arm B: placebo (n=28) once a day for 7 days.

  • PlaceboDrug

    This will be a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Qualified subjects will be randomly assigned to receive either the test treatment or the placebo at 2:1 ratio. Once subjects are randomized, they will be treated with Arm A: Eltrombopag 50 mg/day (n=55) or Arm B: placebo (n=28) once a day for 7 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Eltrombopag in people with Solid Tumor, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 3 sites in Taiwan.

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 15 inclusion and 14 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 24 Oct 2017. 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 Taiwan. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

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?

efficacy of eltrombopag (50mg once daily) (time frame: up to treatment eltrombopag 7 days). 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 24 Oct 2017.
