About this study
Official title: A Multi-Center Prospective Study of Evaluating Health Related Quality of Life in Adult With Immune Thrombocytopenia in China Using Real-world Data
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a heterogeneous disorder with variable clinical symptomsHealth related quality of life (HRQoL) could be considered in ITP, as in numerous chronic diseases, as a method to provide information about the effects of medical interventions. Symptoms of ITP, such as spontaneous bruising, menorrhagia, mucosal bleeding and prolonged bleeding with injury, may significantly affect HRQoL in ITP subjects. Treatments for chronic ITP can also be associated with substantial side effects. Restoring and/or maintaining quality of life should be an important goal of treatment. We conducted a real-world multicenter study using SF-36 and ITP-PAQ questionnaires to assess the HRQoL in patients with ITP in the real world, and analyze the influencing factors of HRQoL so as to provide a sufficient basis for clinical decision making.
Read the detailed description
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune thrombocytopenic syndrome characterized by decreased platelet count and an increased risk of bleeding.The pathogenesis of ITP has been considered as autoantibody-mediated and cell-mediated platelet over-destruction. The estimated prevalence for ITP in the China is 5-10/100,000. Adult women are disproportionately affected by the disorder, with a female to male ratio of nearly two to one. The disorder rarely remits spontaneously in adult subjects. The mortality rate is relatively low (< 1%) in adults less than 65 years of age. Morbidity increases above age 65, primarily as a result of an increase in age-related major bleeding events.
The decision to treat and the type of treatment are controversial, since among the different medications available, none has proven its superiority regarding reduction in bleeding complications or transition to chronic ITP. Furthermore, profound thrombocytopenia, the risk of intracranial bleeding, and the appearance of bruises may seriously influence lifestyle, school functioning and physical activities and frequently result in anxiety in children and adults. Therefore, since the benefit-risk ratio of current medications is unclear and as the psychological and the physical burden of the disease is highly variable, it appears necessary to develop new tools to better understand the exact impact of the disease on daily life. Although treatment decision making depends essentially on the physician's experience, it seems of interest to include in this reflection a measurement of quality of life. In this context, evaluation of health related quality of life (HRQoL) could be considered in ITP, as in numerous chronic diseases, as a method to provide information about the effects of medical interventions.
Symptoms of ITP, such as spontaneous bruising, menorrhagia, mucosal bleeding and prolonged bleeding with injury, may significantly affect HRQoL in ITP subjects. Treatments for chronic ITP can also be associated with substantial side effects. In addition, subjects who are resistant to current therapies are likely to experience an even greater decrement to their HRQoL than responders to treatment. Thus, restoring and/or maintaining quality of life should be an important goal of treatment.
HRQoL can be analyzed by universal or disease specific scales, the latter usually have better reactivity. Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) is one of the most widely used universal HRQoL scales, and it is widely used in the HRQoL measurement of general population, evaluation of clinical trials and health policy evaluation. The ITP Participants Assessment Questionnaire (ITP-PAQ) was developed to assess disease-specific quality of life (QoL) in adults with ITP. It is a 44-item questionnaire that includes scales for physical health (symptoms, fatigue/sleep, bother, and activity), emotional health (psychological and fear), overall QoL, social activity, women's reproductive health, and work. The reliability and validity of these scales have been confirmed by a number of studies at home and abroad.
Therefore, the investigators conducted a real-world multicenter study using SF-36 and ITP-PAQ questionnaires to assess the HRQoL in participants with ITP in the real world, and analyze the influencing factors of HRQoL so as to provide a sufficient basis for clinical decision making.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 27 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 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.
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?
Contact Ming Hou (+86-18560087007, houming@medmail.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
ITP-PAQ (time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression,up to 12 months). The study lists 2 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 NCT03324087, which also lists 5 linked publications.
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 27 Oct 2017.
