Blood tests for fatigue in low-platelet patients
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study looks for markers in the blood that are linked to fatigue in people with low platelets. It compares patients who have low platelets from immune or inherited causes to healthy volunteers, to understand why some feel very tired.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have low platelet counts (under 150,000 per microliter) caused by an immune problem or a condition you were born with.
- You have not taken antidepressants (SSRIs or SNRIs), blood thinners, or antiplatelet drugs in the last 10 days.
- You are at least 18 years old (or a child weighing more than 44 pounds).
- You are not under legal guardianship or conservatorship.
- You have social health insurance (like Medicare or Medicaid) and are being seen at one of the participating hospitals.

This study looks at blood test antibodies to help confirm whether low platelet counts are caused by an autoimmune condition. It may help doctors better classify your type of low platelets and guide appropriate next steps.
This trial studies whether “TPO” medicines (like eltrombopag or similar drugs) help people age 14 and older with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) who did not respond well to first treatments. It may help raise platelet counts and reduce bleeding, especially when prior therapy hasn’t worked.
This study looks at healthy adults who donate platelets to understand how platelets change over time. You must fast before blood draws and avoid certain medicines like aspirin or ibuprofen for a week before each visit.
This trial looks at whether certain proteins in the blood can help doctors diagnose immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), a condition where your immune system destroys platelets. It may help find a faster, simpler way to confirm ITP.
This trial tests a new medicine for children with a condition called immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), which causes low blood platelets and easy bruising or bleeding. It may help increase platelet counts when standard treatments haven't worked.
This study looks at whether having thyroid problems is common in people with ITP and if it affects how well ITP treatments work. By joining, you might help doctors understand this link and improve care for others.
