Clinical Trial in Patients Diagnosed With Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Phase 3

Completed

Conditions: Immune (Idiopathic) Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Interventions: Biological: IGIV3I Grifols

Registration Number: NCT00699140

Lead Sponsor: Instituto Grifols, S.A.

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether IGIV3I Grifols 10% is effective in the treatment of immune thrombocytopenic purpura.

Detailed Description: To determine if IGIV3I Grifols 10% is a consistently effective treatment in patients diagnosed with immune thrombocytopenic purpura with respect to:

1. Increase of platelet count ≥ 50x10\^9/L (primary objective).

2. Time taken for the platelet count to reach ≥ 50x10\^9/L.

3. The length of time the platelet count remains ≥ 50x10\^9/L.

4. The maximum platelet level.

5. Regression of bleeding episodes during the first 10 or 14 days.

To determine if IGIV3I Grifols 10% is safe with respect to:

Nature, severity and frequency of adverse reactions during and after infusions by percentage of subjects and percentage of infusions.

Study & Design

Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Study Design: SINGLE_GROUP

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
1 treatment group with IGIV3I Grifols	IGIV3I Grifols	Open label, non-randomized treatment group with IGIV3I Grifols Each patient received a total dose of 2 g/kg IGIV3I Grifols, given intravenously over either 2 days or 5 days in divided doses.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Responder Patients	At any time during the study period (The platelet count was measured at Days 1-6, 10, 14. 21, 30, 60, 90).	The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients who reached a platelet count ≥ 50x10\^9/L.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Length of Time Platelet Count Remains ≥ 50x10^9/L (≥ Days)	At any time during the study period (up to 3 months [90 days])	Length of time platelet count remained ≥ 50x10\^9/L from first dose (Day 1)
Maximum Platelet Level Reached During the Follow-up Period	During the follow-up period (time points: Days 6, 10, 14, 21, 30, 60, 90 post-first infusion day [Day 1])	Platelet count was measured at various time points in the follow-up period after infusion.
Time to Reach Platelet Count ≥ 50x10^9/L (≤ Days)	At any time during the study period (time points: Days 1-6, 10, 14, 21, 30, 60, 90 post-first infusion day [Day 1])	The time taken for the platelet count to reach ≥ 50x10\^9/L from first dose
Regression of Hemorrhages.	First 10 to14 days since the first infusion day (Day 1)	Percentage of subjects with regression of hemorrhages of Types 1 to 3: * Type 0: Patients without symptoms of bleeding at the first infusion continue without presenting spontaneous bleeding * Type 1: Patients with bleeding symptoms at the first infusion had a reduction of the size of large ecchymoses, and no spontaneous appearance of new ecchymoses * Type 2: Patients with bleeding symptoms at the first infusion had a decrease in the number of cutaneous petechiae, or the extent of the affected area of the body decreased * Type 3: Patients had active mucosal bleedings at the first infusion, these episodes stopped without re-bleeding, and there was no occurrence of new spontaneous mucosal hemorrhages (e.g., gingival bleeding, epistaxis)
Frequency of Adverse Reactions During and After Infusions by Percentage of Patients	At any time during the study period (from patient's signature of the informed consent form until 3 months of follow-up)	All adverse events (AEs) are tabulated and summarized. The incidence, severity, and causal relationship of the AEs to IGIV3I Grifols are presented by system organ class after medical coding according to the version 15.0 of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). The frequency of patients with at least one AE and adverse drug reactions are estimated.
Frequency of Adverse Reactions During and After Infusions by Percentage of Infusions	At any time during the study period (from patient's signature of the informed consent form until 3 months of follow-up)	All adverse events (AEs) are tabulated and summarized. The incidence, severity, and causal relationship of the AEs to IGIV3I Grifols are presented by system organ class after medical coding according to the version 15.0 of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). The frequency of infusions associated with at least one AE and adverse drug reactions are estimated.
Changes in Vital Signs and Clinically Relevant Changes in Laboratory Parameters After the Infusions, Including Renal Function (Creatinine Levels)	At any time during the study period (from patient's signature of the informed consent form until 3 months of follow-up)	Laboratory parameters at each treatment day and visit are summarized by patient. Results were marked as normal/abnormal (whether the result is below, within or above the respective reference range) and relevant/irrelevant (as determined by the investigator). The number of abnormal values considered clinically relevant changes (based on the investigator's judgment) was listed.
Viral Safety Through the Investigation of Patients Virology Status (Hepatitis A Virus [HA	At any time during the study period (from patient's signature of the informed consent form until 3 months of follow-up)	The results of HIV-1 and -2 antibodies, HCV antibody, HBsAg, HBV antibodies, HAV antibodies, HIV nucleic acid amplification test \[NAT\], and HCV NAT on Day 1, Day 14, and at Month 1, Month 2 and Month 3 were recorded for several of these markers (as appropriate).
