Groups2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | CSA Arm | Patients in this arm will receive cyclosporine (Neoral) at a dose of 2-3 mg/kg orally as an adjunct to plasma exchange.~All patients initiated daily PEX (one plasma volume), using plasma as the replacement fluid. Patients randomized to the CSA arm received CSA at a dose of 2-3 mg/kg (rounded to the nearest 50 mg increment) divided into a twice daily dosing (Figure 1a). Patients randomized to CSA did not receive steroids, but were permitted to receive hydrocortisone as required for any hypersensitivity reactions to the infused plasma. Daily PEX was continued until a clinical response was achieved, then patients received PEX every other day for 2 additional procedures, with the first day that the platelet count and LDH were normal counting as the first of the 2 procedures.~Cyclosporine: 2-3 mg/kg orally in a twice day divided dose for 6 months | 0 | 12 | EG000 |
| Group 2 | Prednisone Arm | Patients in this arm will receive prednisone at a dose of 1 mg/kg as an adjunct to plasma exchange.~All patients initiated daily PEX (one plasma volume), using plasma as the replacement fluid. Patients randomized to the corticosteroid arm received prednisone at a dose of 1 mg/kg/d rounded to the nearest 20 mg increment. Daily PEX was continued until a clinical response was achieved, then patients received PEX every other day for 2 additional procedures, with the first day that the platelet count and LDH were normal counting as the first of the 2 procedures.~Prednisone: 1 mg/kg orally, daily for at least 30 days, then tapered over 30 days after achieving remission. | 0 | 14 | EG001 |
