About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Open-labeled Pilot Study on Recombinant Human Thrombopoietin in Management of Immune Thrombocytopenia in Pregnancy

The project was undertaking by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and other well-known hospitals in China. Aims at evaluating efficacy and safety of rhTPO in management of ITP in pregnancy.

Read the detailed description

The investigators are undertaking a multicenter, open-labeled, pilot study of 30 ITP patients in pregnancy from Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and other well-known hospitals in China. ITP patients in pregnancy who failed to respond to prednisone, IVIG and developed refractoriness to platelet transfusion will be given rhTPO intravenously at a dose of 300U/kg every day. Dose will be tapered to 300U/kg every other day when platelet count rise over 50×10^9/L. Maintenance will be continued after delivery and the dose will be further reduced to 300U/kg per week. Platelet count, bleeding and other symptoms will be evaluated before and after treatment. Adverse events will be recorded throughout the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Early response 1- Response rate (CR+R)

    Response rate (CR+R) at the 7th day. CR is defined as platelet count ≥ 100×10^9/L, and R is defined as platelet count of >30×10^9/L with at least a doubling of the baseline value.

    Measured: 7th day

  2. Early response 2- Response rate (CR+R)

    Response rate (CR+R) at the 14th day.

    Measured: 14th day

  3. Long-time response 1 (Platelet count)

    Platelet count at 10th week.

    Measured: 10th week

  4. Long-time response 2 (Platelet count)

    Platelet count at 40 weeks' gestation.

    Measured: 40 weeks' gestation

  5. Long-time response 3 (Platelet count)

    Platelet count one month after delivery.

    Measured: one month after delivery

  6. Safety (Adverse events)

    Adverse events in patients and infants.

    Measured: 6 months after delivery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing rhTPO in people with Immune Thrombocytopenia and Pregnancy, 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 7 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 20 Mar 2020. 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 1- Response rate (CR+R) (time frame: 7th day). The study lists 6 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 NCT02391272, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Mar 2020.
