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   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   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
    The primary objective was to describe the long-term safety and tolerability of oral eltrombopag treatment of subjects with ITP with or without concomitant ITP medication
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were also followed during the conduct of the trial. Rescue medication, defined as the addition of new therapies intended to raise the platelet count, including medications, platelet transfusions, splenectomy or the increase of the dose of any concomitant ITP medications was allowed at any time the investigator deemed it necessary.

    Subjects were previously enrolled in a study of eltrombopag: TRA100773A, TRA100773B, TRA102537/RAISE, or TRA108057/REPEAT. Eligibility of consenting subjects was assessed during the screening period of up to 28 days prior to Day 1 of treatment.

    Arm description
    Open-label eltrombopag was supplied in 25 or 50 mg tablets. All subjects started at 50mg once daily and dose was increased or decreased based on platelet count (target range 50-200Gi/L). Alternate days and interruption of dosing was permitted to maintain target range of platelet count. Doses could range from 25 to 75mg. Subjects could remain on treatment up to 2 years.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects at this milestone seems inconsistent with the number of subjects in the arm. It is expected that the number of subjects will be greater than, or equal to the number that completed, minus those who left.
    Justification: All subjects enrolled in this trial were previously enrolled in one of three eltrombopag trials. Milestones were created to provide number of participants from each of the three trials.

    Maximum ITP Bleeding Score at any time during the study during all stages.
    End point description
    The ITP bleeding score is a tool which has been designed specifically to assess the bruising and bleeding in patients with ITP across body sites, ranging from mild to severe. The WHO Grades were dichotomized into the following categories:  Grade 0: No bleeding  Grade 1 to 4: Any bleeding  Grade 0 to 1: No clinically significant bleeding  Grade 2 to 4: Clinically significant bleeding

    Best Post-Baseline Change in SF-36v2 Questionnaire Score Compared with Baseline - All Patients
    End point description
    The SF-36v2 assessment tool was used to obtain information about subjects’ general health status and health-related quality of life. The tool was to be completed by each subject prior to any other intervention, including physician interaction, at the baseline visit, prior to completion of a Stage, and upon withdrawal or completion of the study. Until a formal assessment of minimal clinically important differences (MCID) is performed, changes from baseline of more than 0.5 standard deviations are suggested as clinically meaningful,Scores were transformed to a 0-100 point scale, with higher scores representing more positive answers Scores were normalized to have a mean of 50 and SD of 10 to allow for comparison with outcomes from other chronic diseases Recall period is the past week prior to administration.

    Best Post-Baseline Change in the short form of the Motivation and Energy Scale (MEI-SF) compared with Baseline - All Patients
    End point description
    The MEI-SF (18 questions) was used to measure the reductions in mental energy, physical energy, and social motivation, either as symptoms of chronic ITP or as a side effect of pharmacotherapy. Minimal clinically important differences are estimated as 0.5 standard deviations or 7.5 points. All items use either a 7-level (0 to 6) or 5-level (0 to 4) response scale; items with a 5-level response scale were rescaled to 7-levels, and items were reverse-scored as necessary such that higher scores represent higher HRQoL Total score ranges from 0 to 108 points. Recall period is past week prior to administration. n=292

    End point description
    The FACT-TH6 consists of 6 questions in which patients rate (0-4) their general degree of worry related to bleeding and bruising, and resulting activity impairment and frustration. Although the six items do not constitute a formal domain or subscale of the FACT‑Th assessment tool, these items had been identified by focus groups of patients with chronic ITP as important indicators of their HRQoL. Items were reverse-scored as necessary such that higher scores represent higher HRQoL. Total scores ranged from 0 to 24. Recall period is not specified. n=288
