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   44155   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7326   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 assess the levels of bone marrow fibers (reticulin and/or collagen) at baseline and any change from baseline after 1 and 2 years of treatment with eltrombopag in adult subjects with chronic ITP
    Protection of trial subjects
    Additional testing in case of Abnormal Bone Marrow Biopsy Findings Subjects with post-baseline increase in bone marrow fibers to grade MF-2 or -3 on European Consensus scale or grade 3 or 4 on the Bauermeister scale will have the following assessments performed: 1. Peripheral blood smear to evaluate the presence of teardrop erythrocytes, nucleated red blood cells or any other relevant abnormality. 2. Testing for JAK2 (V617F) mutation. 3. Ultrasound evaluation of the size of the liver and spleen. 4. Blood sample for TGF-β measurement. Ultrasound of Liver and Spleen During the study, ultrasound of liver and spleen will be performed when a post-baseline increase of clinically significant bone marrow abnormality such as reticulin grade of either MF-2 or MF-3 on European Consensus scale or Grade 3 or 4 on Bauermeister scale is recorded or at any other time at the investigator discretion. Peripheral Blood Smear A peripheral blood smear should be performed at the Screening Visit, pre-dose Day 1, once every 4 weeks (or every 8 weeks if the dose of eltrombopag and concomitant ITP, if any, is stable for 3 months) during the treatment period, at the end of treatment visit or at the early withdrawal, and at 4-week follow-up visit. ECG A 12-lead ECG will be obtained for each subject during screening. During the study, an ECG can also be performed at the discretion of investigator, when clinically indicated. Renal Monitoring Renal function will be assessed in all subjects pre-dose on Day 1. Throughout the study, serum creatinine will be measured once every two weeks and will serve as the main tool to check for global renal function.

    		 A total of 167 participants (par.) were enrolled and received at least one dose of study medication. The 5 enrolled participants from center 082877 were excluded from the analysis due to the following: serious good clinical practice (GCP) findings related to informed consent, source documents and investigator study oversight.

    		 Number of participants with bone marrow (BM) fibers of MF Grade 0, 1, 2 and 3 on the European Consensus (EC) scale at Baseline [1]
    End point description
    The evaluation of fibrosis was performed using BM biopsies in which the amount of fibrosis was assessed by the EC Grading Scale. This method distinguishes four degrees of fibrosis (myelofibrosis [MF]-0 to MF-3). MF Grade (G) 0 is scattered linear reticulin with no intersections (cross-overs) corresponding to normal BM; MF Grade 1 is loose network of reticulin with many intersections, especially in perivascular areas; MF Grade 2 is diffuse and dense increase in reticulin with extensive intersections, occasionally with only focal bundles of collagen and/or focal osteosclerosis; MF Grade 3 is diffuse and dense increase in reticulin with extensive intersections with coarse bundles of collagen, often associated with significant osteosclerosis. Baseline is defined as the most recent centrally-reviewed BM biopsy prior to first dose of eltrombopag in the study. All Treated Subjects (ATS) Population: all par. who received >=1 dose of study medication excluding the 5 par. from center 082877.

    End point description
    Hematology parameters were summarized according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE), version 4.0: G0, none; G1, mild; G2, moderate; G3, severe; G4, life-threatening or disabling. Hematology parameters included: hemoglobin (increased), hemoglobin (anemia), lymphocyte count (increased), lymphocyte count (decreased), total absolute neutrophil count (ANC), platelet count and white blood cell (WBC) count. Baseline values were obtained at Day 1. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X in the category titles). The maximum post-Baseline toxicity grade includes any scheduled or unscheduled post-Baseline assessment during.

    End point description
    On-therapy + 1 day is defined as AEs started between the first dose of eltrombopag and up to the day after the last dose of eltrombopag; >1 to 30 days post therapy is defined as AEs that started more than 1 day and up to 30 days after the last dose of eltrombopag; >30 days post therapy is defined as AEs started that started more than 30 days after the last dose of eltrombopag. An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability or incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly or birth defect. Medical or scientific judgment should be exercised in other situations.
