In this study, the investigators want to determine if N-acetylcysteine(NAC), given intravenously, will decrease complications in patients with Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (TTP) who are receiving treatment with therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE). The investigators want to determine, through anti-oxidant activity, if NAC will have additional efficacy in TTP by improving cleavage of the patients' VWF by ADAMTS13, and preventing propagation of platelet/VWF strings. This will be manifest by a more rapid improvement in the patient's platelet count, decrease in number of days requiring TPE, and decrease in microvascular thrombotic complications. The investigators will additionally: 1) Assess safety of NAC by evaluating subjects for adverse events and significant adverse events 2) Determine effects on TTP by measuring clinical and research laboratory values 3) Determine drug effects by measuring clinical and research laboratory values.
This randomized, double-blind and open-label phase III study aimed to determine the efficacy, tolerance and safety of eltrombopag in Chinese chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) adult subjects. This study was be conducted in Chinese adult chronic ITP subjects who had not responded to or had relapsed after previous treatment of ITP, including first line therapy and /or splenectomy. The primary objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of oral eltrombopag as a thrombopoietic agent treating previously treated chronic Chinese ITP patients compared to placebo. The secondary objective was to assess the safety and tolerability of eltrombopag when administered for 6 weeks to previously treated adult chronic ITP patients compared with placebo. In addition, the long-term efficacy and safety of eltrombopag treatment was also evaluated in the 24-week extension open-label phase after the double-blind phase as one of other study objectives. If the subject benefited from the eltrombopag treatment based on the investigator's discretion, the subject could continue on eltrombopag treatment until the commercial launch of eltrombopag in China. Furthermore, to understand the pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of eltrombopag and to explore the relationship between the PK and pharmacodynamics (PD) (platelet response), a PK/PD analysis was embedded in this phase III study and conducted in the same patient population who participated this phase III study.
The project was undertaking by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and other 13 well-known hospitals in China. In order to report the efficacy and safety of Recombinant Human thrombopoietin combining with Dexamethasone for the treatment of adults with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), compared to High-dose Dexamethasone therapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection is effective in the improvement of platelet counts in children and adolescents with chronic ITP.
A comparative study with rituximab (100 mg weekly for 4 weeks and 375mg/m2 for once) shows low dose rituximab may be a useful alternative therapy in patients with ITP.The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and tolerability of two different regimens of low doses rituximab for the treatment of adult patients with ITP.
The purpose of this study is to determine how children with a history of severe, chronic Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) who were treated with rituximab might respond to vaccines. Eligible patients are previously or currently enrolled in a study entitled "Open Label, Phase I/II Trial of Rituximab for Chronic, Severe Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura in Children and Adolescents" and have decided to obtain an inactivated influenza vaccination. These patients will be invited to provide one blood sample prior to vaccination and a second sample following vaccination to quantify immune response to vaccination.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of rituximab in children ages 18 months to 18 years, who have severe, chronic ITP. Eligible patients with either primary or secondary ITP are treated with rituximab once a week for 4 doses, and then followed for up to one year. Response is defined as having a platelet count greater than or equal to 50,000/mL on four consecutive weekly measures beginning anytime in weeks 9 - 12.
The aim of our study is to evaluate the efficacy of rapamycin with Refractory Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (RITP) and explore the further mechanism.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) are effective in the treatment of refractory idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (RITP).
