Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to investigate the specificity of in vivo antibody binding to red blood cells (RBCs) in 10 subjects with chronic ITP who have shown signs of hemolysis and who experience clinically significant intravascular hemolytic reactions following treatment with IgPro10. The study will explore potential mechanisms of hemolysis by analysis of the specificity of the antibodies possibly involved.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are to assess other safety and efficacy parameters, including the rates of presumptive hemolytic events and clinically significant intravascular hemolytic reactions.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the set of antibodies most frequently bound to RBCs in subjects experiencing clinically significant intravascular hemolysis. The presumptive hemolysis cases will be adjudicated by an independent Adjudication Committee to determine if the hemolysis represents clinically significant intravascular hemolysis. Most frequent antibodies are defined as those antibodies that are identified at day 3 as binding specific red cell antigens (determined using an antigen panel) in at least 4 subjects (out of 10 with clinically significant hemolysis).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Continously | — |

| Secondary end point(s): Subjects with a platelet response (PR) defined as subjects having a platelet count increases at least once to = 50 x 109/L within 6 days after the first infusion (i.e., up to and including Day 7).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 6 days after the first infusion | — |
