Study summary

This study aims to evaluate treatment preferences of patients with Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) in the United States (US) by conducting a preference elicitation survey.

Read the detailed description

This is a non-interventional study to assess treatment preferences from patients with ITP. Data will be collected from participants using a preference elicitation survey.

The study consists of two stages. Stage 1 includes the development of the survey and identification of key treatment attributes. Stage 2 involves administration of the finalized survey, followed by comprehensive analysis of the data to assess treatment preferences.

Study population

Adults receiving 1L or 2L treatment for ITP who reside in the US.

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

  1. Currently living in the US.
  2. Aged 18 years and older on the day of providing .
  3. A diagnosis of primary ITP:

    a. For participants receiving (1L) treatment for ITP: i. Diagnosed with primary ITP and started 1L within 3 months of diagnosis ii. Responded to 1L corticosteroid treatment [with or without intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg)] b. For participants receiving second-line (2L) treatment for ITP: i. Assessed as needing or are taking thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO-RA) treatment for 2L treatment ii. Has previously been treated with a 1L corticosteroid (with or without IVIg) with insufficient response or relapse

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria:

  1. For participants receiving 1L treatment for ITP only: Previous or current use of treatments different from and/or IVIg/anti-D immunoglobulin.
  2. For participants receiving 2L ITP treatment: Previous or current use of treatments different from corticosteroids, IVIg/anti-D immunoglobulin or one TPO-RA (i.e. patients who have used any treatment in a setting are ineligible).
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Line of therapy

A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.

“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

    Adults with ITP in the US who are being treated in either 1L or 2L settings.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Preference Weights for Treatment Attributes

    MDT will be used to elicit trade-offs that participants with ITP are willing to make between multiple treatment attributes. Preference weights will be estimated for each treatment attribute included in the MDT. Higher preference weights indicate treatment attributes that have a stronger influence on preferences, while lower weights indicate treatment attributes that have a weaker influence.

    Time frame: 1 Day

  2. Maximum Acceptable Risk (MAR) and Minimum Acceptable Benefit (MAB)

    To evaluate the benefit-risk trade-offs that participants are willing to make, marginal rates of substitutions (MRS) will be calculated based on the Dirichlet model. MRS will be represented as either MAR or MAB. * MAR measures the median maximum level of risk that participants are willing to tolerate in certain treatment attributes in return for a specified improvement in other treatment attributes. * MAB measures the median minimum level of benefit required in certain treatment attributes for participants to tolerate deteriorations in other treatment attributes.

    Time frame: 1 Day

  3. Differences in Preference Weights Associated With Personal Characteristics

    Preference weights associated with personal characteristics will be assessed using covariate-adjusted Dirichlet regression. Personal characteristics include sociodemographic, clinical characteristics such as race/ethnicity, living location, employment status, level of education, clinical setting usually treated in, ITP symptoms, and treatment experience, as well as other characteristics such as participants' risk tolerance level, health literacy and numeracy level.

    Time frame: 1 Day

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.
