Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Efficacy: To determine if GAMMAPLEX raises the platelet count of subjects with chronic ITP to a threshold of 50 x 10_9/L, similar to that of a historical control.   The primary efficacy variable will be analyzed using the intent?to-treat population ITT). The percent of subjects attaining a platelet count of &#8805;50 x 10_9/L by Day 9 will be compared with the historical response rate of >60%. A 1-sided 95% confidence interval will be constructed for the percent of subjects attaining a platelet count of &#8805;50 x 10_9/L by Day 9 for GAMMAPLEX. If the lower bound of this confidence interval is >0.60, GAMMAPLEX will be considered effective for the treatment of chronic ITP. Therfore, the primary efficacy variable will be the percent of subjects attaining a platelet count of &#8805;50 x 10_9/L by Day 9 (the 7th day after completing the second infusion).  
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The secondary objectives are: 1) to determine the safety of GAMMAPLEX at the dosage used in this study. 2) to determine if GAMMAPLEX maintains platelet counts of &#8805; 50 x 10_9/L in subjects with chronic ITP for a period of time similar to that of a historical control.  The variables used to assess safety will be the following: adverse events; vital signs; clinical laboratory tests and Direct Coombs? Test; any transmission of viruses; physical examination. The two secondary efficacy variables: Duration of time for which the platelet counts remain &#8805;50 x 10_9/L after the first course of GAMMAPLEX and changes in the signs of any bleeding/hemorrhage up to Day 32. The secondary efficacy variables will be analyzed by: 1) using the method of Kaplan and Meier to produce plots of the distribution of the time for which the platelet counts remain &#8805;50 x 10_9/L; 2) a 95% confidence interval for the median time will be constructed.

Brief Summary   This clinical trial is a phase III, multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GAMMAPLEX® in Chronic Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, wherein the subjects will receive infusions of GAMMAPLEX on Days 1 and 2 (first treatment course). If the platelet count is not maintained for the desired length of time after the first course of GAMMAPLEX, and at the discretion of the study investigator and subject, subjects may receive up to a further 2 courses of GAMMAPLEX within the period Day 32 to Day 90 of the first treatment course. This study is being conducted in approximately 12 centres in India, 5 centres in USA and 9 centres in Argentina, with approximately 31 subjects to be competetively enrolled globally throughout the centres. The primary objective of the study is to determine the efficacy by determining if GAMMAPLEX raises the platelet count of subjects with chronic ITP to a threshold of 50 x 10_9/L, similar to that of a historical control. The secondary objectives of the study are: 1) to determine the safety of GAMMAPLEX at the dosage used in this study 2) to determine if GAMMAPLEX maintains platelet counts of &#8805; 50 x 10_9/L in subjects with chronic ITP for a period of time similar to that of a historical control.
