About this study

Official title: Interest of Magnesium Sulfate in Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura in Intensive Care: Multicentric Randomized Controlled Trial

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) is a potentially life-threatening thrombotic microangiopathy caused by a severe deficiency of ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif member 13). Decreased ADAMTS13 activity leads to an accumulation of ultralarge von Willebrand factor (vWF) multimers which induce aggregation of platelets and microthrombi. These microthrombi may involve the brain, heart, kidneys and lead to life-threatening organ failures.

In experimental models, magnesium sulfate increases cleavage of newly released vWF by ADAMTS13, decreases the endothelial secretion of ultralarge vWF and inhibits the interaction of vWF with platelets. In another thrombotic microangiopathy, magnesium sulfate has been shown to reduce the risk of seizures in women with severe pre-eclampsia. In analogy with its evidence-based therapeutic application in pre-eclampsia and based on a strong rationale for magnesium supplementation in TTP, we propose a phase 3, double blind, placebo controlled, and randomized study to evaluate the efficacy of magnesium sulfate in more rapidly restoring normal platelet counts as measure of prevention of further microvascular thrombosis in patients with Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura.

What participants receive

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

  • Sulfate, MagnesiumDrug

    Magnesium sulphate will be administered at a dose of 6g over 20 min intravenously followed by a continuous infusion of 6g / 24h for 3 days.

    For each day of treatment, 4 ampoules of 10 ml will be distributed to the nurse in charge of the patient (4 ampoules of 1,5g of magnesium sulfate)

  • Placebo - ConcentrateDrug

    For each day of treatment, 4 ampoules of 10 ml will be distributed to the nurse in charge of the patient (4 ampoules of glucose 5% as placebo)

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to normalization of the platelet count

    Normalization of the platelet is defined as a platelet count that reaches at least 150,000 per cubic millimeter for 48 consecutive hours

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Duration and volume of plasma exchanges

    Measured: 30 days

  2. platelet count

    Measured: 5 days

  3. proportion of subjects with refractory TTP

    absence of platelet count doubling after 4 days of standard treatment

    Measured: 5 days

  4. Proportion of subjects with an exacerbation of TTP

    recurrence during the 30 days after the last daily plasma exchange

    Measured: 30 days

  5. Proportion of subjects with a relapse of TTP

    recurrence occurring more than 30 days after the last daily plasma exchange

    Measured: 3 months

  6. Cardiac trouble frequency

    Measured: day 30

  7. Cerebral trouble frequency

    Measured: day 30

  8. Acute kidney injury

    Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) score > or = 1

    Measured: day 30

  9. Time to normalization of hemolysis marker levels

    Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), haptoglobin, bilirubinemia, hemoglobin

    Measured: day 30

  10. Hospital length of stay

    Measured: day 90

  11. Hospital mortality

    90 days after randomization

    Measured: day 90

  12. ICU length of stay

    Measured: day 90

  13. ICU mortality

    Measured: day 90

  14. Adverse events related to the use of magnesium sulfate

    Measured: day 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Sulfate, Magnesium in people with Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 29 Oct 2021. 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 France. 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?

Time to normalization of the platelet count (time frame: 3 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 29 Oct 2021.
