Study summary

Cross-sectional study, observation made by healthcare professionals of subjects or caregivers, administering romiplostim at their first standard-of-care visit 4 weeks after training with the home administration training pack. Further observations can also be recorded in the study if made within 16 weeks of enrolment. Data will be collected from the subjects' dose diary at their first standard of care visit to ensure there were no problems with administration while not at the clinic.

Read the detailed description

This cross-sectional study involves direct observation by a healthcare professional of a series of subjects and caregivers in the act of administering romiplostim at their first standard-of-care visit occurring 4 weeks after training with the HAT pack. Further observations, if they occur, will also be recorded in the study if made within 16 weeks of enrolment. (Additional observations are voluntary and are not required for study participation; they occur only if the healthcare professional requests them.) Additionally, data will be collected from the subjects' dose diary at the first standard of care visit to ensure there were no problems with administration while not at the clinic.

Study population

ITP patients being treated with romiplostim will be approached for possible study participation. At each participating site, patients that meet the following criteria will be enrolled as a study subject. Adult ITP patients, treated per EU Summary of product characteristics (SmPC), or caregiver new (or at least a 3 month gap) to administering romiplostim, that has received HAT pack training and is available at a standard-of-care medical visit 4 weeks (range 2 to 8 weeks) after HAT pack training, the patient provides informed consent.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Successful self administration of romiplostim

    to estimate the proportion of subjects and caregivers who administer romiplostim correctly after being trained with the HAT pack.

    Time frame: First Standard of Care visit post Home Administration Training (range 2-8 weeks)

Secondary outcomes

  1. successful reconstitution of romiplostim

    A yes/no indicator of whether the subject or caregiver reconstitutes romiplostim correctly.

    Time frame: First standard of care visit post Home Administration Training (range 2-8 weeks). Follow up visits (up to 16 weeks post enrolment)

  2. Accuracy in administering the prescribed dose of romiplostim

    The difference between the prescribed and administered dose of romiplostim, expressed as a %.

    Time frame: First standard of care visit post Home Administration Training (range 2-8 weeks). Follow up visits (up to 16 weeks post enrolment)

  3. Injects romiplostim

    A yes/no indicator of whether the subject or caregiver injects romiplostim successfully.

    Time frame: First standard of care visit post Home Administration Training (range 2-8 weeks). Follow up visits (up to 16 weeks post enrolment)

  4. Administers romiplostim

    A yes/no indicator of whether the subject or caregiver administers romiplostim correctly.

    Time frame: Follow up visits (up to 16 weeks post enrolment)

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 22, 2015, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
