Effects of Helicobacter Pylori Eradication in Children With Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura

December 31, 2019 updated by: Mary Makram Kamel, Assiut University

Effects of Helicobacter Pylori Eradication Therapy in Children With Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Thrombocytopenia refers to a reduction in platelet count to (<150 × 109/L). Immune thrombocytopenic purpura is an acquired autoimmune disorder defined by isolated thrombocytopenia and the exclusion of other causes of thrombocytopenia

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Helicobacter pylori was recently demonstrated as an etiological factor in immune thrombocytopenic purpura in some prospective studies, with reports of platelet numbers increasing in these patients after Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment.However, other studies have shown a negative result after eradication treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura, leading to controversy.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
75

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. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

1 year to 18 years (ADULT, CHILD)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura patients who still have thrombocytopenia > 12 months
  2. age <18 years .
  3. diagnosis of immune thrombocytopenic purpura according to American Society of Hematology criteria based on an initial platelet count <100×103/μL .
  4. Patients diagnosed as steroid and immunoglobulin resistant chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura .

exclusion criteria:

  1. Patients with acute immune thrombocytopenic purpura . .
  2. age >18 years.
  3. thrombocytopenia was related to autoimmune disorders, drugs, a family history consistent with inherited thrombocytopenia, human immunodeficiency virus infection, hepatitis.
  4. previous history of Helicobacter pylori eradication; and history of medication with proton pump inhibitors, H2- receptor antagonists, or antibiotics in the previous 4 weeks.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
NO_INTERVENTION: Helicobacter pylori negative patients
chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura patients who will be diagnosed negative for Helicobacter pylori infection using detection of Helicobacter pylori antigen in stool of these patients.
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Helicobacter pylori positive patients with intervention
chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura patients who will be diagnosed positive for Helicobacter pylori infection using detection of Helicobacter pylori antigen in stool of these patients will receive treatment of Helicobacter pylori: Amoxicillin for 14 days, Clarithromycin for 14 days and Proton pump inhibitor for one month).
Drug: Amoxicillin 50 mg/kg/day in 2 divided doses for 14 days.
chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura patients who will be diagnosed positive for helicobacter pylori infection will receive Amoxicillin for 14 days.

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
effects of Helicobacter pylori infection eradication on platelet counts of chronic immune thrombocytopenic patients
Time Frame: 6 months
platelet counts will be measured at the start of the study ,before the starting of the interventions, and after 6 months. platelet response will be classified as: 1-complete response: platelet count> 150 × 109/L , 2-partial response: platelet count : 50-150 × 109/L , no response: platelet count < 50 × 109/L.
6 months

Primary Completion (ANTICIPATED)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
