A Study of MabThera (Rituximab) in Patients With Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura.

February 4, 2015 updated by: Hoffmann-La Roche

An Open Label Study of a Fixed Dose Regimen of MabThera on Overall Response Rate in Patients With Refractory, Relapsing or Chronic Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura.

This single arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of MabThera monotherapy in patients with refractory, relapsing or chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Patients will receive infusions of MabThera 1000mg i.v. on days 1 and 15. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Achieving a Complete Hematological Response (CR) or Confirmed Partial Hematological Response (PR)
Time Frame: Week 8
Percentage of participants with an overall response at Week 8 achieving a CR or PR as evaluated by platelets, new or increased Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP)-related treatments and corticosteroids given for Adverse Events (AEs).
