Filter by:RATIONALE: Drugs, such as prednisone and dexamethasone, may change the immune system and be an effective treatment for primary immune thrombocytopenic purpura. It is not yet known which drug is more effective in treating primary immune thrombocytopenic purpura. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying high-dose dexamethasone to see how well it works compared to standard-dose prednisone in treating patients with newly diagnosed, previously untreated primary immune thrombocytopenic purpura.
A long term observational ocular safety study in adults who have received study medication (either active drug or placebo) in a phase II or III clinical study evaluating eltrombopag. The study will follow subjects for 2.5 years following their last ocular assessment on their prior treatment study (regardless of the therapeutic indication) and will describe long-term ocular safety with respect to changes in the lenses over time from all subjects.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of AKR-501 (avatrombopag) administered in participants with chronic Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) who were enrolled into and completed 28 days of study treatment in Protocol 501-CL-003 (NCT00441090).
The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of LGD-4665 given daily by mouth to increase platelet counts in the treatment of patients with ITP (immune thrombocytopenic purpura). LGD-4665 increased platelet counts safely and tolerably compared to placebo in healthy volunteers. This study will examine the safety, tolerability and efficacy of 7.5 mg capsules of LGD-4665 to increase platelets compared to placebo, randomized 2:1, during blinded treatment for 6 weeks. Evaluation of platelet counts, bleeding scores and safety parameters will be done weekly. All patients are eligible to continue on active, open LGD-4665 treatment for an additional 12 weeks with optimal adjustment of dose for each patient.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AMG 531 compared with placebo in thrombocytopenic Japanese subjects with immune (idiopathic) thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) .
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of multiple doses of Staphylococcal protein A (PRTX-100) in adult patients with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP). The pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity and pharmacodynamics will also be studied. Patients will be enrolled into 1 of 3 dose groups and receive 4 weekly IV doses of PRTX-100. A Safety Monitoring Committee will review safety data through Day 28 for the first 5 patients in a dose group before escalation to the next higher dose level. Patients will be followed for 8 weeks after dosing for safety, PK, immunogenicity and effect on platelet count(pharmacodynamics).
This trial will study different dose levels of hA20 (IMMU-106) to see if they are safe and effective for treating ITP.
This is a Phase II/III multicenter study comprising of the double-blind, followed by open-label phases to evaluate and compare the efficacy and tolerability of eltrombopag (SB-497115-GR) in chronic ITP patients
The general objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Rituximab in the management of patients with refractory or relapsed thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-hemolytic uremic syndrome (TTP-HUS). There have been several case reports and case series describing the use of Rituximab in patients with TTP-HUS; however its use has not been studied in a large trial. It is hypothesized that Rituximab may ameliorate the severity of certain cases of TTP-HUS by decreasing the number of activity of B-cells which may result in decreased production of the ADAMTS13 protease inhibitor. Patients with TTP-HUS not responding to standard therapy or patients with relapsed disease may have particular benefit. Treatments that decrease the frequency of relapse or shorten the time to remission of TTP-HUS will be of benefit by decreasing the need for blood product support.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of romiplostim (AMG 531) in the treatment of thrombocytopenia in pediatric subjects with chronic ITP. We will also evaluate the efficacy of romiplostim (AMG 531) and characterize the pharmacokinetics of romiplostim (AMG 531). It is anticipated that romiplostim (AMG 531), when given at an effective dose and schedule, will be well tolerated treatment for thrombocytopenia among pediatric subjects with chronic ITP.
