What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This phase 3 trial tested the long-term safety and effectiveness of efgartigimod, an IV drug, in 101 adults with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), a condition where the immune system destroys platelets, causing bleeding. Participants received efgartigimod infusions over 52 weeks. The study measured side effects and how well the drug maintained platelet counts. Results could support efgartigimod as a long-term treatment option for ITP.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
efgartigimod (a drug given by IV infusion that blocks certain immune proteins)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a long-term treatment option to help control platelet counts and reduce bleeding risk in people with immune thrombocytopenia.
What could go wrong
This is an open-label trial with no placebo group, so results may be less reliable. Side effects from efgartigimod are possible, and not all patients may respond.
