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   43977   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7312   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 ).

    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Ability to understand the requirements of the trial, to provide written informed consent (including consent for the use and disclosure of research-related health information), and to comply with the trial protocol procedures (including required trial visits).
    2. Male or female patient aged ≥18 years.
    3. Confirmed ITP diagnosis, at least 3 months before randomization and according to the ASH Criteria 2011, and no known other etiology for thrombocytopenia.
    4. Diagnosis supported by a response to a prior ITP therapy (other than TPO-RAs), in the opinion of the investigator.
    5. Mean platelet count of <30×10^9/L (and no single platelet count of >35×10^9/L) from 3 qualifying counts, 2 during the screening period and the pre-dose platelet count at visit 1. The 3 platelet counts must be over the course of 7 to 14 days, with at least 2 days between any 2 counts.
    6. At the start of the trial, the patient is either on concurrent ITP treatment(s) and has received at least 1 prior therapy for ITP in the past, or the patient is not on treatment for ITP but has received at least 2 prior treatments for ITP. Patients receiving permitted concurrent ITP treatment(s) at baseline, must have been stable in dose and frequency for at least 4 weeks prior to randomization.
    Permitted concurrent ITP medications include oral corticosteroids, oral immunosuppressants, dapsone/danazol, and/or eltrombopag.
    Patients not receiving concurrent ITP therapy are also eligible for the trial if they have not received prior ITP therapy for at least 4 weeks prior to baseline, and 6 months in case of prior ITP therapy with an anti-CD20 therapy (e.g. rituximab).
    7. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at the screening visit and a negative urine pregnancy test at baseline before study medication (infusion) can be administered. Women are considered of childbearing potential unless they are post-menopausal (defined by continuous amenorrhea) for at least 1 year with an FSH of >40 IU/L or are surgically sterilized (i.e. women who had a hysterectomy, both ovaries surgically removed, or have a documented permanent female sterilization procedure including tubal ligation). Follicle-stimulating hormone can be used to confirm post-menopausal status in amenorrheic patients not on hormonal replacement therapy.
    8. Women of childbearing potential should use a highly effective method of contraception (i.e. pregnancy rate of less than 1% per year) during the trial and for 90 days after the last administration of the IMP. They must be on a stable regimen, for at least 1 month:
    • combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation:
    -oral
    -intravaginal
    - transdermal
    • progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation:
    - oral
    - injectable
    - implantable
    • intrauterine device (IUD)
    • intrauterine hormone-releasing system
    • bilateral tubal occlusion
    • vasectomized partner (provided that the partner is the sole sexual partner of the trial participant and documented aspermia post procedure)
    • continuous abstinence from heterosexual sexual contact. Sexual abstinence is only allowable if it is the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (calendar, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) is not acceptable.
    9. Non-sterilized male patients who are sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must use effective double contraception, being a condom for male patients and a highly effective form of contraception for the female partner of childbearing potential (same as for female patients described in inclusion criterion 8). Male patients practicing true sexual abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant) can be included. Sterilized male patients who have had vasectomy with documented aspermia post procedure can be included. In addition, male patients are not allowed to donate sperm during this period from signing of ICF, throughout the duration of the trial, and for 90 days after the last administration of IMP.
    1. Capacidad para comprender los requisitos del ensayo, otorgar su consentimiento informado por escrito (incluido consentimiento para uso y publicación de información sanitaria relacionada con la investigación) y para cumplir con procedimientos del protocolo (incluidas las visitas del ensayo necesarias).
    2. Paciente de sexo masculino o femenino de >=18 años de edad
    3. Diagnóstico confirmado de TPI al menos 3 meses antes de aleatorización según criterios de Sociedad Estadounidense Hematología de 2011, y ausencia de cualquier otra etiología conocida para la trombocitopenia.
    4. Diagnóstico respaldado por la respuesta a un tratamiento previo para la TPI (distinto de agonistas del receptor de trombopoyetina [AR-TPO]), en opinión del investigador.
    5. Recuento plaquetario medio <30×10exp9/l (y ningún recuento plaquetario >35×10exp9/l) en 3 recuentos de valoración, 2 durante el periodo de selección y el recuento plaquetario previo a la dosis en la visita 1. Los 3 recuentos plaquetarios deben haberse obtenido en un plazo de entre 7 y 14 días, dejando al menos 2 días entre 2 recuentos cualesquiera.
    6. Al comienzo del ensayo, el paciente recibe tratamiento(s) simultáneo(s) para la TPI y ha recibido al menos 1 tratamiento previo para la TPI en el pasado o el paciente no está recibiendo tratamiento para la TPI, pero ha recibido al menos 2 tratamientos previos para la TPI. Los pacientes que reciban tratamiento(s) simultáneo(s) permitido(s) para la TPI en el inicio deben haber mantenido una dosis y una frecuencia estables al menos durante las 4 semanas anteriores a la aleatorización.
    Los medicamentos simultáneos permitidos para la TPI son corticoesteroides por vía oral, inmunodepresores por vía oral, dapsona/danazol, y/o eltrombopag.
    Los pacientes que no reciban tratamientos simultáneos para la TPI también serán aptos para el ensayo si no han recibido antes tratamiento para la TPI durante al menos 4 semanas antes del inicio, y 6 meses en el caso de los tratamientos previos anti-CD20 para la TPI (p. ej., rituximab).
    7. Para poder recibir el medicamento (infusión) del ensayo, las mujeres con capacidad de concebir deben presentar una prueba de embarazo en suero con resultado negativo en la visita de selección y una en orina con resultado negativo en el inicio. Las mujeres se consideran con capacidad de concebir a menos que sean posmenopáusicas (definidas como mujeres con amenorrea continua) durante al menos 1 año con unas concentraciones de hormona foliculoestimulante (FSH) >40 UI/l o que estén esterilizadas quirúrgicamente (es decir, mujeres sometidas a histerectomía, a extirpación quirúrgica de ambos ovarios o a un procedimiento documentado de esterilización femenina permanente, incluida la ligadura de trompas). La hormona foliculoestimulante se puede usar para confirmar el estado posmenopáusico en pacientes amenorreicas que no reciban tratamiento de reposición hormonal.
    8. Las mujeres con capacidad de concebir deben utilizar un método anticonceptivo muy eficaz (es decir, con una tasa de embarazos inferior al 1 % anual) durante el ensayo y hasta 90 días después de la última administración del PEI. Deben estar recibiendo, durante al menos 1 mes, una pauta posológica estable de:
    • anticonceptivos hormonales combinados (con estrógeno y gestágeno) asociados a inhibición de la ovulación
    -orales
    -intravaginales
    -transdérmicos
    • anticonceptivos hormonales solo de gestágeno asociados a inhibición de la ovulación
    -orales
    -inyectables
    -implantables
    • dispositivo intrauterino (DIU)
    • sistema intrauterino de liberación hormonal
    • ligadura de trompas bilateral
    • vasectomía de la pareja (siempre que esta sea la única pareja sexual de la participante en el ensayo y se haya documentado la aspermia tras el procedimiento)
    • abstinencia continua de relaciones heterosexuales. La abstinencia sexual solo será aceptable si constituye el estilo de vida habitual y preferido del paciente. La abstinencia periódica (métodos del calendario, sintotérmico o de posovulación) no es aceptable.
    9. Los pacientes varones no esterilizados que sean sexualmente activos con una pareja de sexo femenino con capacidad de concebir deben utilizar un método anticonceptivo doble eficaz consistente en el preservativo para los pacientes de sexo masculino y un método anticonceptivo muy eficaz para la pareja de sexo femenino con capacidad de concebir (los mismos que se describen en el criterio de inclusión 8 para las pacientes del ensayo). Se puede incluir a los pacientes varones que practiquen una abstinencia sexual real (si ello concuerda con el estilo de vida habitual y preferido del participante).
    También se podrá incluir a los pacientes varones esterilizados que se hayan sometido a una vasectomía con azoospermia documentada posterior a la intervención. Además, los pacientes varones no podrán donar semen durante este periodo desde la firma del FCI, mientras dure el ensayo y hasta 90 días después de la última administración del PEI.
