Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, multi-center, controlled, randomized, non-inferiority study to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of Conventional versus Mirasol-treated apheresis platelets in subjects with hypoproliferative thrombocytopenia who are expected to have platelet count(s) ≤ 10,000/μL requiring ≥ 2 platelet transfusions.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Device: Mirasol platelets (MIR PLTs)
  • Device: Reference platelets (REF PLTs)
N/A

Detailed Description

Patients will be randomized 1:1 to Mirasol-treated platelets (test platelets) or to conventional, untreated platelets (control platelets). The blood centers will collect the apheresis donor platelets and supply the test platelets to the hospital sites for transfusion into patients. Hospital sites will order control platelets as per their normal process, from their standard vendor.

The target population for the MIPLATE study are patients with hematologic malignancies with hypoproliferative thrombocytopenia who are expected to have platelet (PLT) count(s) of ≤ 10,000/μL requiring ≥ 2 PLT transfusions.

The primary objective of MIPLATE is to determine if the hemostatic efficacy of Mirasol-treated plasma stored Trima Accel® Aph PLTs are non-inferior to Conventional plasma stored Aph PLTs in subjects with hypoproliferative thrombocytopenia requiring PLT transfusions. The secondary objectives include comparing other efficacy and safety endpoints between the treatment groups.

Subjects with hematologic malignancies with hypoproliferative thrombocytopenia are anticipated to experience a "transfusion episode" where they will require PLT transfusion support until bone marrow recovery. During this period all PLT transfusions required for a study subject will be given according to the subject's treatment allocation for 28 days after the initial PLT transfusion OR until transfusion independence (10 days without PLT transfusion) prior to Day 28.

Additionally, serum samples for HLA antibody testing will be collected on Days 14, 28 and 56.

At a minimum, the initial post-randomization prophylactic PLT transfusion will be initiated for a PLT count ≤ 10,000/µL. Thereafter, indications for PLT transfusions may be PLT count-related prophylaxis, intervention-related prophylaxis, or therapeutic (treatment of active bleeding) as determined by the treating physician(s). The indication(s) for the transfusion(s) will be captured.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Days of ≥ Grade 2 Bleeding [From the first post-randomization platelet transfusion through 28 days following the first transfusion.]

    Number of days of Grade 2 or higher bleeding recorded from treatment start date through 28 days following the first transfusion, until transfusion independence (10 days without PLT transfusion) prior to Day 28, or study termination, whichever occurred first. Subjects who obtained transfusion independence prior to Day 28 were assumed to have zero bleeding events between the date of transfusion independence and Day 28. Observed and simulated data for off-protocol transfusion intervals were included.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Number and Percentage of Subjects With Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) Alloimmunization [HLA antibodies were measured at Baseline and Days 14, 28, and 56.]

    The outcome was the development of a new HLA Class I antibodies among subjects negative at baseline within each treatment group. Positivity for Class I HLA antibodies was determined by the 5 SD normalized background ratio cutoffs assay threshold (>59.2, LABScreen Mixed LSM12, One Lambda).

  2. Number and Percentage of Subjects With ≥ Grade 2 Bleeding [From the first post-randomization platelet transfusion through 28 days following the first transfusion.]

    The number and percentage of subjects with at least 1 day of ≥ Grade 2 bleeding from Day 0 through Day 27 (or until transfusion independence was achieved) by treatment group

  3. Number and Percentage of Subjects at the First Timepoint of ≥ Grade 2 Bleeding [From the first post-randomization platelet transfusion through 28 days following the first transfusion.]

    The time to first ≥ Grade 2 bleeding was analyzed using a log-rank test comparing survival curves stratified by treatment group.

  4. Number and Percentage of Subjects With ≥ Grade 3 Bleeding [From the first post-randomization platelet transfusion through 28 days following the first transfusion.]

    The number and percentage of subjects with at least 1 day of ≥ Grade 3 bleeding from Day 0 through Day 27 (or until transfusion independence was achieved).

  5. Number and Percentage of Subjects With PLT Refractoriness [From the first post-randomization platelet transfusion through 28 days following the first transfusion.]

    The number and percentage of subjects with PLT refractoriness defined as 2 sequential transfusions, each with corrected count increments (CCIs) < 5000 measured 1 hour post-transfusion.

  6. Number and Percentage of Subjects With Immune Platelet Refractoriness [Initial post-randomization platelet transfusion through high Class I HLA development.]

    The number and percentage of subjects with PLT refractoriness for each treatment group. Subjects were defined as immune PLT refractoriness based on 2 sequential transfusion episodes, each with CCIs < 5000 measured 1 hour post transfusion, and who also had a positive antibody test within 14 days before or after the onset of PLT refractoriness.

Other Outcome Measures

  1. Number and Percentage of Subjects With Unanticipated Adverse Device Effects (UADEs) [From initial post-randomization PLT transfusion through 72 hours following the last per protocol PLT transfusion.]

    UADEs are identified as treatment emergent adverse events reported by the investigator as serious, unanticipated, at least possibly related to study device or at least possibly related to treatment. UADEs were coded using Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) Version 19.1

Statistical Analysis 1
Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection MIRASOL, CONTROL
Comments The MIRASOL and CONTROL groups were compared with respect to the number of days of WHO ≥ Grade 2 bleeding. This was carried out by fitting a negative binomial regression model with an offset defined as the natural logarithm (LN) of the number of days that bleeding was assessed in order to account for the fact that subjects had different numbers of bleeding assessment days.
Type of Statistical Test Non-Inferiority
Comments An NI analysis was carried out to assess the primary efficacy endpoint with the null hypothesis being the MIRASOL group is inferior to the CONTROL group and the alternative hypothesis being the MIRASOL group is non-inferior to the CONTROL group. In this study, the NI margin was 1.6.

7. Secondary Outcome
Title Number and Percentage of Subjects With Immune Platelet Refractoriness
Description The number and percentage of subjects with PLT refractoriness for each treatment group. Subjects were defined as immune PLT refractoriness based on 2 sequential transfusion episodes, each with CCIs < 5000 measured 1 hour post transfusion, and who also had a positive antibody test within 14 days before or after the onset of PLT refractoriness.
Time Frame Initial post-randomization platelet transfusion through high Class I HLA development.

Title Number and Percentage of Subjects With Unanticipated Adverse Device Effects (UADEs)
Description UADEs are identified as treatment emergent adverse events reported by the investigator as serious, unanticipated, at least possibly related to study device or at least possibly related to treatment. UADEs were coded using Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) Version 19.1
Time Frame From initial post-randomization PLT transfusion through 72 hours following the last per protocol PLT transfusion.

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
The Safety Set was used for this analysis. Safety Set = randomized subjects who received at least 1 PLT transfusion post-randomization, independent of the outcome or successful completions of the procedure.

Adverse Events

Time Frame Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment Emergent Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) that occurred from initial post randomization platelet transfusion through seventy-two (72) hours following the transfusion end time of the last on-protocol PLT transfusion were reported. Deaths that occurred (including deaths due to bleeding) thirty days (30) following the transfusion end time of the last on-protocol PLT transfusion were reported.
Adverse Event Reporting Description Treatment Emergent definition: an event that first appears during treatment, which was absent before or which worsened relative to the pre-treatment state. Treatment emergent are those events that occur during or following the first post-randomization PLT transfusion. All TEAEs/TESAEs were followed until resolution, stabilization, or the end of the subject's study participation which occurred first.
