Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of romiplostim in the treatment of thrombocytopenia in pediatric patients with Immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP) as measured by durable platelet response.
Chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is characterized by low platelet counts and the risk of severe bleeding complications. The two recently introduced TPO-RA drugs, namely, eltrombopag and romiplostim, have shown efficacious sustained response with continuous administration. Both drugs are indicated for the treatment of thrombocytopia in patients with chronic ITP who have had an insufficient response to corticosteroids, immunoglobulins, or splenectomy. While these trials address important clinical questions they were not intended to evaluate what happens in the real-world settings with actual patient living daily lives. The purpose of this health outcomes study is to understand how the two TPO receptor agonists (TPO-RA) currently available in the US are being used in clinical practice and how their use impacts chronic ITP patients' daily lives. The study hypothesis is that patients who switched to eltrombopag report a better health-related quality of life than those who switched to romiplostim. This study utilized a hybrid design of retrospective chart review study and cross-sectional patient survey. A customized Patient Case Report Form (CRF) will be used to retrospectively collect clinical data from patient medical charts where the primary cohorts consist of patients who have switched from other ITP medication to eltrombopag or romiplostim. A cross-sectional survey will be employed to collect patient reported outcomes (PRO) data, including health-related quality of life and treatment satisfaction, using a compository questionnaire. Analyses of cross-sectional survey data and retrospective medical chart review data in patients who switch to either eltrombopag or romiplostim from their prior primary therapy will be conducted.
36 healthy adult men and women will be enrolled with the goal of having 24 subjects complete the entire study. The study will consist of a pre-treatment phase and a treatment phase. The pre-treatment phase will include screening and baseline period 1. The treatment phase consists of 4 treatment period: Treatment Period 1 - administration of the first E5501 oral dose; Treatment Period 2 - administration of verapamil and the second E5501 oral dose; Treatment Period 3 - administration of the third E5501 dose; Treatment Period 4 - concomitant administration of cyclosporine and the fourth E5501 dose. A baseline period will precede each treatment period. The screening period will be up to 13 days in duration. After fulfilling screening requirements, subjects will check into the clinic on Day -1 for baseline assessments. They will be domiciled in the clinical testing facility for 6 days for Treatment Periods 1, 3, and 4 and will return intermittently for study procedures for 8 outpatient visits. They will be domiciled in the clinical testing facility for at least 14 days for Treatment Period 2 and will return intermittently for study procedures for 7 outpatient visits.
The purpose of this study is to confirm the safety profile / factors which impact safety and efficacy in patients given triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori eradication with Nexium + amoxicillin (AMPC) + clarithromycin (CAM), or Nexium + AMPC + metronidazole (MNZ) in usual post-marketing use.
To investigate safety and efficacy in the actual use of REVOLADE collected from all subjects receiving the drug until data from a specified number of subjects are accumulated to identify factors considered to influence its safety and efficacy. <Priority investigation item> Thromboembolism
It is known that intravenous immunoglobulins can induce hemolysis, but the mechanism is not known in detail. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the specificity of antigens on red blood cells in patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) who have shown signs of clinically relevant hemolysis following treatment with the intravenous immunoglobin Privigen®. The study was to explore potential mechanisms of hemolysis by analysis of the specificity of the antibodies possibly involved. To distinguish between clinically non-relevant hemolysis and a relevant intravascular hemolysis, an independent adjudication by a committee was performed for each patient with signs of hemolysis determined in the laboratory or in the clinic. This study was requested as a post-marketing commitment study by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). By September 2014, no case of clinically significant intravascular hemolysis was found, and the FDA agreed to halt the study and analyze all hemolysis-relevant endpoints using FDA criteria for hemolysis in addition to analyses planned in the protocol. The study was not restarted.
The project was undertaking by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and other 11 well-known hospitals in China. In order to report the efficacy and safety of high-dose dexamethasone compared to conventional dose prednisone for the first-line treatment of adults with primary immune thrombocytopenia(ITP).
This will be a randomized, open-label, four-group, two-period, replicate design study to evaluate the effect of food on within and between subject variability in second generation formulation 20-mg tablet strengths, Lots P01008ZZA and P01009ZZA, administered as single doses of 40mg to 84 healthy male and female subjects. The study is powered to detect both a reduction in either the within or between subject variability (coefficient of variation [CV]%) of approximately 35%.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relative bioavailability (BA) of two lots of E5501 40 mg tablets administered twice as single oral doses to healthy subjects.
Immunologic thrombcytopenic purpura (ITP) affects both children and adults. The incidence is estimated in adults about 1,6/100 000/per year. Chronic and relapsing forms of the disease that represent 70% of adult cases are associated with impairment of quality of life related to treatments side effects and bleeding. ITP is secondary to the destruction of circulating platelets through an auto-immune process and to a decrease of platelet production in bone marrow. Auto antibodies are usually directed against epitopes of the GPIIb/IIIa, expressed by platelets. The destruction of the platelets seems to occur mainly in the spleen through antibody dependent cytotoxicity. Both macrophages and cytotoxic T lymphocytes subsets participate to the platelet destruction through the CD16, the low affinity receptor for the Fc of IgG. Thus the CD16 "pathway" is a target for treatments in ITP as for example intravenous immunoglobulins and more recently inhibitors of the syk kinase.
