Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To describe the number of months with a subject platelet response over a 12 month treatment period
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with applicable FDA and International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) regulations/guidelines. A copy of the protocol, the proposed informed consent, and all other subject information and/or recruitment materials were submitted to the IEC or IRB of each study center for approval. The investigator or a designee obtained written informed consent from their subjects or legally acceptable representatives after adequate explanation of the aims, methods, anticipated benefits, and potential hazards of the study and before any protocol-specific screening procedures were conducted or investigational product was administered.

    Romiplostim was administered weekly by subcutaneous injection. The starting dose of romiplostim was 1 μg/kg; weekly dose increases continued in increments of 1 μg/kg/week to a maximum dose of 10 μg/kg in an attempt to reach a target platelet count of ≥ 50 x 10^9/L. Dose adjustments were allowed during the treatment period to maintain a platelet count between 50 x 10^9/L and 200 x 10^9/L.

    Number of Months with Platelet Response During the 12-Month Treatment period [1]
    End point description
    The primary endpoint was the number of months a subject achieved a platelet response during the 12-month treatment period. A platelet response for any 1 month was defined as the median of platelet counts measured in the month ≥ 50 x 10^9/L. Platelet counts within 4 weeks following a rescue medication use or following splenectomy were considered non-response. Months without any platelet count measurement and months following splenectomy were considered as months with no platelet response. Safety Analysis Set includes all subjects who have received at least 1 dose of romiplostim.

    End point description
    An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial subject. The event does not necessarily have a causal relationship with study treatment. A serious adverse event is defined as an adverse event that meets at least one of the following serious criteria: • fatal • life threatening (places the subject at immediate risk of death) • requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization • results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity • congenital anomaly/birth defect • other significant medical hazard. Whether an adverse event was treatment related (TRAE) or not was determined by investigator.
