About this study

Thrombocytopenia is a common biological disorder in critically ill patients. The main supportive treatment is platelet transfusion with the aim of preventing and treating bleeding and securing invasive procedures. Current guidelines suggest that prophylactic platelet transfusion should probably be administered in non-bleeding critically ill patients at platelet count triggers of 10 to 20 G/L, albeit with very low certainty since extrapolated from studies carried out in stable patients with hematological malignancies. Indications for prophylactic platelet transfusion have not been properly addressed in adult ICU patients with regard to their particular risk of bleeding and prognosis. We propose the TRAMPOLINE study in order to address two different platelet count thresholds of 10 G/L (low threshold) or 20 G/L (high threshold) for the prevention of ICU-acquired bleeding in critically ill patients with severe thrombocytopenia.

What participants receive

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

  • Platelet transfusion if platelet count ≤ 10 G/LOther

    Platelet transfusion as soon as platelet count falls ≤ 10 G/L

  • Platelet transfusion when platelet count ≤ 20 G/LOther

    Platelet transfusion will be initiated immediately after randomisation

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of ICU-acquired severe and debilitating bleeding

    Grades 3-4 of the modified WHO bleeding scale, assessed during the ICU stay, from the time of randomization to ICU discharge (or to the end of 28-day intervention period in patients remaining in the ICU after 28 days). Bleeding events will be collected up to 72h after ICU discharge.

    The modified WHO bleeding scale, commonly used in observational studies and trials to assess the severity of bleeding. It comprises 4 grades: grade 1 (minor blood loss), grade 2 (mild blood loss), grade 3 (severe blood loss (most often requiring Red Blood Cell transfusion) and grade 4 (debilitating blood loss).

    Measured: Until ICU discharge or up to 28 days in ICU

Secondary outcomes (22)
  1. Incidence of ICU-acquired mild bleeding

    WHO grade 2

    Measured: Until ICU discharge or at 28 days in ICU

  2. Incidence of ICU-acquired mild to debilitating bleeding

    WHO grade 2-3-4

    Measured: Until ICU discharge or up to 28 days in ICU

  3. Total number of platelet transfusions episodes

    Measured: Until ICU discharge or up to 28 days in ICU

  4. Number of prophylactic platelet transfusions episodes

  7. Volumes of packed red cell transfusions

    Measured: Until ICU discharge or up to 28 days in ICU

  8. Volumes of fresh frozen plasma

    Measured: Until ICU discharge or up to 28 days in ICU

  9. Incidence of ICU-acquired infections

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after ICU discharge

  10. Incidence of acquired arterial thrombotic events

    Acute coronary syndrome, acute limb ischemia, mesenteric ischemia, stroke

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after ICU discharge

  11. Incidence of acquired venous thrombotic events

    Thrombophlebitis and pulmonary embolism

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after ICU discharge

  12. Incidence of Central Venous Catheter (CVC)-related hemorrhagic and infectious complications

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after ICU discharge

  13. Incidence of platelet transfusion-related side effects

    Any significant transfusion reaction such as chills and fever or side effect requiring to be reported to the local hemovigilance system

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after ICU discharge

  14. Incidence of transfusion-related pulmonary manifestations (acute pulmonary oedema and acute lung injury (TRALI))

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after ICU discharge

  15. Incidence of anti-HLA/HPA immunization

    Investigated in case of platelet transfusion refractoriness

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after ICU discharge

  16. In ICU survival

    Investigated in case of platelet transfusion refractoriness

    Measured: Up to 90 days

  17. In hospital survival

    Investigated in case of platelet transfusion refractoriness

    Measured: Up to 90 days

  18. 28 day survival

    Investigated in case of platelet transfusion refractoriness

    Measured: At 28 days

  19. In ICU length of stay

    Measured: Up to 90 days

  20. In hospital length of stay

    Measured: Up to 90 days

  21. 90-day survival

    Measured: Up to 90 days

  22. 90-day hospital costs

    From randomization to day 90

    Measured: Up to 90 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Platelet transfusion if platelet count ≤ 10 G/L and Platelet transfusion when platelet count ≤ 20 G/L in people with Thrombocythemia, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris.

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 8 inclusion and 12 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Sep 2024. 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.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Frédéric Pene, MD PhD (0158414677 ext. +33, frederic.pene@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of ICU-acquired severe and debilitating bleeding (time frame: Until ICU discharge or up to 28 days in ICU). 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 19 Sep 2024.
