Study summary

The present study will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AMG531 and to determine the recommended initial dose of AMG531 on the basis of its efficacy and safety when it is administered subcutaneously (SC) to the Aplastic Anemia (AA) patients with immunosuppressive-therapy refractory thrombocytopenia and also to assess the pharmacokinetics of this product. Its efficacy and safety during the extension period beyond one year will also be evaluated.

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.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patient who is diagnosed as AA and to therapy
  • ≤ 30,000/μL

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Concurrent active infection not adequately responding to appropriate therapy
  • positivity
  • Bone marrow reticulin grade of > 1
  • cardiac disease
  • Arterial or venous thrombosis within the last 1 year before enrollment
  • Other cause of thrombocytopenia
  • AA with hemolytic predominant paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH)
  • Uncontrolled diabetes
  • Receiving any agent used to treat AA, including antithymocyte globulin (ATG) or ATG + cyclosporine within 6 months before starting study treatment and/or cyclosporine or anabolic hormone within 6 weeks before starting the study treatment
  • History of PEG-rHuMGDF, recombinant human thrombopoietin, AMG531, and other thrombopoietin (TPO)-receptor agonist
  • Who plans to conduct hematopoietic stem cell transplantation within 1 year
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of Subjects Achieving a Platelet Response at Week 9

    The proportion of subjects achieving a platelet response at Week 9, and two-sided 95% confidence interval will be calculated. Platelet response is defined as 1) achieving absolute platelet increase of ≥ 20x10\^9/L above baseline or 2) increase to ≥ 10x10\^9/L and by at least 100% from baseline.

    Time frame: At week 9

Secondary outcomes

The proportion of subjects with tri-lineage response will be calculated in the same manner as the primary variables. Time to tri-lineage response will be summarized in the same manner as time to platelet response. Time to tri-lineage response is defined as duration of the time from Day 1 to the date of platelet response, erythroid response or neutrophil response whichever achieves last in Visit.
