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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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 efficacy measure was the platelet count and the increase in platelets to – and the maintenance of – specific thresholds. Number and percentage of patients with response, complete response, no response and loss of response as well as time to response and duration of response are presented.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This trial was conducted in accordance to the principles of GCP, ensuring that the rights, safety and well-being of patients are protected and in consistency with the Declaration of Helsinki. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were carefully defined in order to protect subjects from contraindications, interactions with other medication and safety factors associated with the investigational medicinal product. Safety was assessed by the evaluation of AEs, monitoring of vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, temperature and respiratory rate), physical examinations (to detect relevant somatic or neurological diseases and with attention to signs and symptomes consistent with a thromboembolic event), laboratory parameters and haematology parameters.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    33 patients were enrolled - 13 centres recruited patients for the analysis in Poland, Germany, Czech Republik, Bulgaria and Romania.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    For the study design chosen, randomisation was not applicable. Patients with confirmed diagnosis of chronic primary ITP (threshold PC less than 100x10^9/L) of at least 12 months, older than 18 years of age, complying to all inclusion criteria and no exclusion criterion were enrolled into this study after having given their written IC.

    investigation of efficacy and safety of Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in patients suffering from primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) A daily dose of 1 g/kg was administered for 2 consecutive days (Day 1 and Day 2), for a total of 2 g/kg. The initial infusion rate of 0.01 mL/kg/min (60 mg/kg/h) was chosen for safety reasons. The infusion rate was to be increased gradually to a maximum of 0.12 mL/kg/min (720 mg/kg/h) only if tolerated by the patient. The patients received IVIG using an infusion pump for precise infusion rates.

    The condition of the patient was monitored throughout the study. At each visit, whether scheduled or unscheduled, AEs were elicited using a standard non-leading question. All AEs/SAEs that occured after singing the informed consent but before the first administration of the IMP, were considered “baseline” or “non-treatment-emergent”.
