About this study

Official title: A Randomized Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Different Doses and Frequencies of Recombinant Human Thrombopoietin (rhTPO) in the Management of Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP)

The project was undertaking by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and other well-known hospitals in China. In order to study the efficacy and safety of different dose and frequency Recombinant Human thrombopoietin in treating the primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP)

Read the detailed description

The investigators are undertaking a parallel group, multicentre, randomised controlled trial of 30 primary ITP adult patients from 3 medical centers in China. They will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio into three groups .The patients in group A (total 10 patients) will receive rhTPO at a dose of 300Units/kg ,daily for 14 consecutive days;The patients in group B will receive rhTPO at a dose of 300Units/kg ,one times every other day for 7 times.The patients in group C will receive rhTPO at a dose of 300Units/kg ,daily for 7 consecutive days .All the patients will follow with a flexible dosage depending on platelet count during the following 12 weeks.

Platelet counts, bleeding and other symptoms were evaluated before and after treatment, in order to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different dose and frequency Recombinant Human thrombopoietin in treating the primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP)

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Early Response

    response rate (CR+R) at the 14th day and the 14th week from the initial injection of rhTPO. CR is defined as platelet count ≥ 100×10^9/L, and R is defined as platelet count of >30 × 10^9/L with a least a doubling of the baseline value.

    Measured: 14 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety

    The type and frequency of therapy associated adverse events

    Measured: 1 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Recombinant Human Thrombopoietin (rhTPO) in people with Immune Thrombocytopenia, run by Shandong University 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 5 inclusion and 8 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 20 Apr 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 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?

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?

Early Response (time frame: 14 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 20 Apr 2016.
