Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to show that a therapeutic platelet transfusion strategy (i.e. platelet transfusion only in case of bleeding) needs minimally a quarter less of transfusions compared to the standard prophylactic transfusion strategy (i.e. platelet transfusion without any sign of bleeding when the platelet count is below 10.000/µL). With the experimental transfusion strategy transfusions could be safely reduced when the study hypothesis can be proven. This is the first prospective randomized study on this topic.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

1

Therapeutic platelet transfusion (TP) strategy versus prophylactic platelet transfusion (PP) strategy. In the TP arm platelet transfusion is only required if bleeding occurs (more than petechial)or in case of pulmonary infections with or without sepsis.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Therapeutic platelet transfusion

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

In the TP arm platelet transfusion is only required if bleeding occurs (more than petechial)or in case of pulmonary infections with or without sepsis.

2

In the PP arm platelet transfusion has to be performed when platelet count is below 10.000/µL in any case and when bleeding (more than petechial) occurs.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Prophylactic platelet transfusion

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

In the PP arm platelet transfusion has to be performed when platelet count is below 10.000/µL in any case and when bleeding (more than petechial) occurs.
