September 5, 2018 updated by: Soo-Mee Bang, Seoul National University Hospital

Efficacy of Helicobacter Pylori Eradication for the Treatment of Chronic or Persistent Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura Patients With Moderate Thrombocytopenia: Multicenter Prospective Randomized Phase 3 Study

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of H. pylori eradication for the treatment of chronic or persistent immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) patients with moderate thrombocytopenia. This is a multi-center, open label, prospective randomized phase IIl study.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Unknown

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

Current treatment guideline of ITP recommends corticosteroid as the first line treatment when patient has active bleeding or less than 30×10^9/L of platelet, because of side effect and cost issues. Since the first case report by Italian study, several investigators have reported that secondary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) can occur in patients with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. We already reported the efficacy of H. pylori eradication in moderate ITP patients with phase II study (Annals Hematology 2015:94:739-46). To improve the evidence of this strategy for the treatment of moderate ITP, we plan to start this multi-center, open label, prospective randomized phase 3 study.

Phase

Phase

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.

Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
