About this study

Official title: Initial Lymphocyte Counts Predictive Value in Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura

  • immune thrombocytopenic purpura is an acquired autoimmune disorder characterized by increased platelet destruction and decreased platelet number (cooper N et al 2006)
  • recent studies have demonstrated that the pathogenesis of ITP envolves multifactorial autoimmune mechanisms of both humoral and cellular immunity and that acute and chronic forms may represent two distinct immunopathological disorders ( cooper N et al 2006) ( Gern Sheimer T 2009 )
Read the detailed description

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura is an acquired autoimmune disorder characterized by increased platelet destruction and decreased platelet number ( Cooper N et all 2006) platelet surface membrane proteins become antigenic for unknown reasons, leading to stimulation of the immune system, auto antibodies production and platelet destruction ( Gasbarrini A et all 2000) It is associated with the production of auto antibodies directed against platelet glycoprotein complex 2b/3a and/or 1b/1x , resulting in accelerated destruction of platelets by the reticular endothelial system via the activity of Fcc receptor bearing phagocytic cells ( Provan \& Newland et al 2002) Recent studies have demonstrated that the pathogenesis of ITP envolves multifactorial autoimmune mechanisms of both humoral and cellular immunity and that acute and chronic forms may represent two distinct immunopathological disorders ( Cooper N et al 2006) ( Gern Sheimer T 2009)

There are many phases of the disease:

  1. Newly diagnosed ITP : for all cases at diagnosis.
  2. persistent ITP: for patients with ITP between 3 to 12 months.
  3. chronic ITP: for patients with ITP lasting more than one year ( blood journal 2009).
  • Although lymphocytopenia is a commonly reported feature of many chronic autoimmune disorders, differential white cell counts at presentation have seldom been evaluated as predictors for development of chronic ITP ( Deel MD et al 2013) (Ahmed et al 2010)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thrombocytopenic Purpura, run by Assiut University.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 9 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

lymphocyte count in immune thrombocytopenic purpura (time frame: 15 minutes). 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 9 Aug 2017.
