Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP): ITP is an autoimmune disease mediated by anti-platelet autoantibodies that cause opsonisation and platelet elimination through binding to FcγR-bearing phagocytic cells in the Reticuloendothelial System (RES) and especially in the spleen, leading to a reduced platelet count (thrombocytopenia). ITP is a primary form of immune thrombocytopenia where typically no aetiology can be found. Thrombocytopenia is defined by platelet counts < 150,000/mm3 and is characterized clinically by increased bruising tendency. However, ITP often presents as spontaneous bleeding in individuals with platelet counts of less than 20,000/mm3. Subjects with platelet counts < 10,000/mm3 may present with severe cutaneous bleedings, gingival bleeding, epistaxis, haematuria or menorrhagia. Spontaneous intracranial bleeding and other spontaneous internal bleeding can be seen in severe thrombocytopenia with platelet counts below 5,000/mm3 (2). ITP in individuals with platelet counts above 30,000/mm3 is most often diagnosed incidentally after a routine complete blood cell count. Some bleeding risk is present in subjects with platelet counts between 30,000/mm3 and 50,000/mm3 depending on the coexisting factors for bleeding (3). ITP is also characterized by an increased proportion of immature peripheral platelets, and to some extent by an increased proportion of megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. This is a ?multi-centre, single intravenous dose, exploratory dose-finding, open label trial on the safety and efficacy of Sym001 in the treatment of Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) in RhD positive, non-splenectomized adult subjects.? Sym001 is a clear colourless sterile liquid for injection filled into 10 mL glass injection vials with a bromobutyl rubber stopper. The vials are sealed with aluminium caps. The Sym001 drug product contains 0.6 mg/mL of Sym001 recombinant human anti-RhD IgG in citrate-phosphate buffer, sodium chloride and polysorbate 20, pH 6.0. The active ingredient in Sym001 is a mixture of 25 anti-RhD antibodies produced by expression in recombinant Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. This is a global clinical trial and the participating countries are:- Germany, Belgium, U.K, Serbia, Poland, Spain, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, India, US, Australia. A maximum of 66 RhD positive, non-splenectomized ITP patients would be enrolled globally and it will be a Competitive Recruitment. A total of 20 subjects would be recruited from India. Patient recruitment in India is expected to start from 15-Feb-2011.
