Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

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
Relapse free survival
Time Frame: From date of randomization until the date of relapse or death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 1 year
Relapse was defined as a drop in platelet count to <30 ×109/L following an initial best response (partial or complete response).
From date of randomization until the date of relapse or death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cumulative response rate
Time Frame: 1 year
platelet count ≥ 30 x 10^9/L and at least 2-fold increase of the baseline count, confirmed on at least 2 separate occasions at least 7 days apart, and absence of bleeding.
1 year
Cumulative complete response rate
Time Frame: 1 year
platelet count >100 x 10^9/L, confirmed on at least 2 separate occasions at least 7 days apart, and absence of bleeding
