An open-label, dose-adjustment, extension study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of
eltrombopag for the treatment of subjects with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) who
have previously been enrolled in an eltrombopag trial. This study will allow adjustment of
the eltrombopag dose to achieve an individualized dose and schedule for each subject. In
addition, the ability to reduce the dose of concomitant ITP medications in the presence of
eltrombopag, while maintaining platelet counts = 50,000/microL will be investigated.
Minimum age: 18 Years.
Maximum age: N/A.
Gender(s): Both.
Inclusion Criteria:
Subjects are eligible for participation in this study if they were previously randomized
to an ITP study of eltrombopag (e. g., TRA100773 or TRA102537/RAISE or TRA108057/REPEAT)
and meet the below inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Inclusion Criteria:
A subject will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if all of the following
criteria apply:
- Subject has signed and dated a written informed consent.
- Adults (≥18 years) diagnosed with ITP according to the American Society for
Hematology/British Committee for Standards in Haematology (ASH/BCSH) guidelines
[George, 1996; BCSH, 2003]. In addition, a peripheral blood smear should support the
diagnosis of ITP with no evidence of other disease causative of thrombocytopenia
(e. g., pseudo thrombocytopenia, myelofibrosis). The physical examination should not
suggest any disease which may cause thrombocytopenia other than ITP.
- Prior completion of treatment and follow up periods in an ITP study of eltrombopag
(e. g., TRA100773 or TRA102537/RAISE or TRA108057/REPEAT).
- Subjects previously enrolled in Study TRA100773 must have completed the prescribed
follow-up ophthalmic assessment at 6 months.
- Subjects previously enrolled in TRA102537/RAISE or other studies that may lead into
EXTEND (e. g., TRA108057/REPEAT) must have completed the treatment and follow-up
periods as defined in that protocol.
- Subject experienced no eltrombopag-related toxicity or other drug intolerance on
prior eltrombopag study (e. g., TRA100773 or TRA102537/RAISE or TRA108057/REPEAT) even
if resolved; subjects discontinued from previous study due to toxicity will not be
eligible unless they received placebo.
- Subject has no intercurrent medical event, including thrombosis.
- Subjects must have either initially responded (platelet count > 100,000/mL) to a
previous ITP therapy or have had a bone marrow examination consistent with ITP within
3 years to rule out myelodysplastic syndromes or other causes of thrombocytopenia
- Previous therapy for ITP with immunoglobulins (IVIg and anti-D) must have been
completed at least 1 week prior to first dose of study medication and the platelet
count must show a clear downward trend after the last treatment with immunoglobulins.
Previous treatment for ITP with splenectomy, rituximab and cyclophosphamide must
have been completed at least 4 weeks prior to randomization, or clearly be
ineffective.
- Subjects treated with concomitant ITP medication (e. g. corticosteroids or
azathioprine) must be receiving a dose that has been stable for at least 4 weeks
prior to randomization. Subjects treated with cyclosporine A, mycophenolate mofetil
or danazol must be receiving a dose that has been stable for at least 3 months prior
to the first dose of study medication.
- Prothrombin time (PT/INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) must be
within 80 to 120% of the normal range with no history of hypercoagulable state.
- A complete blood count (CBC), within the reference range (including WBC differential
not indicative of a disorder other than ITP), with the following exceptions:
- Hemoglobin: Subjects with hemoglobin levels between 10. 0 g/dL and the lower limit of
normal are eligible for inclusion, if anemia is clearly attributable to ITP
(excessive blood loss).
- ANC≥1500/mL (1. 5 x 10^9/L) is required for inclusion (elevated WBC/ANC due to steroid
treatment is acceptable).
- The following clinical chemistries MUST NOT exceed the upper limit of normal (ULN)
reference range by more than 20%: creatinine, ALT, AST, total bilirubin, and alkaline
phosphatase. In addition, total albumin must not be below the lower limit of normal
(LLN) by more than 10%.
- Subject is practicing an acceptable method of contraception (documented in chart).
Female subjects (or female partners of male subjects) must either be of
non-childbearing potential (hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral tubal
ligation or post-menopausal > 1 year), or of childbearing potential and use one of
the following highly effective methods of contraception (i. e., Pearl Index <1. 0%)
from two weeks prior to administration of study medication, throughout the study, and
28 days after completion or premature discontinuation from the study:
- Complete abstinence from intercourse;
- Intrauterine device (IUD);
- Two forms of barrier contraception (diaphragm plus spermicide, and for males condom
plus spermicide);
- Male partner is sterile prior to entry into the study and is the only partner of the
female;
- Systemic contraceptives (combined or progesterone only).
- Subject is able to understand and comply with protocol requirements and instructions.
Exclusion Criteria:
A subject will not be eligible for inclusion in this study if any of the following
criteria apply:
- Any clinically relevant abnormality, other than ITP, identified on the screening
examination, or any other medical condition or circumstance, which in the opinion of
the investigator makes the subject unsuitable for participation in the study or
suggests another another primary diagnosis (e. g., thrombocytopenia is secondary to
another disease).
- Concurrent malignant disease and/or history of cancer treatment with cytotoxic
chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy.
- Any prior history of arterial or venous thrombosis (stroke, transient ischemic
attack, myocardial infarction, deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism), AND≥two
of the following risk factors: hormone replacement therapy, systemic contraception
(containing estrogen), smoking, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, medication for
hypertension, cancer, hereditary thrombophilic disorders (e. g., Factor V Leiden,
ATIII deficiency, etc), or any other family history of arterial or venous thrombosis
- Pre-existing cardiovascular disease (including congestive heart failure, New York
Heart Association [NYHA] Grade III/IV), or arrhythmia known to increase the risk of
thromboembolic events (e. g. atrial fibrillation), or subjects with a QTc >450 msec.
- Female subjects who are nursing or pregnant (positive serum or urine b-human
chorionic gonadotrophin (b-hCG) pregnancy test) at screening or pre-dose on Day 1.
- History of alcohol/drug abuse.
- Treatment with an investigational drug within 30 days or five half-lives (whichever
is longer) preceding the first dose of study medication.
- Subject treated with drugs that affect platelet function (including but not limited
to aspirin, clopidogrel and/or NSAIDs) or anti-coagulants for > 3 consecutive days
within 2 weeks of the study start and until the end of the study.
- History of platelet agglutination abnormality that prevents reliable measurement of
platelet counts.
- All subjects with secondary immune thrombocytopenia, including those with laboratory
or clinical evidence of HIV infection, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, chronic
hepatitis B infection, hepatitis C virus infection, or any evidence for active
hepatitis at the time of subject screening. If a potential subject has no clinical
history that would support HIV infection or hepatitis infection, no further
laboratory screening is necessary; however, standard medical practice would suggest
further evaluation of patients who have risk factors for these infections.
- A subject is planning to have cataract surgery.
- In France, a subject is neither affiliated with nor a beneficiary of a social
security category.
