  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Participants Experiencing an Adverse Event (AE) and/or Serious Adverse Event (SAE) Within the Indicated Category [From Baseline (Day 1) to last dose of eltrombopag/early withdrawal visit (up to 981 days)]

      An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of a medical product, whether or not related to the product. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or its prolongation, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is another event considered serious. A drug-related AE is any AE that was judged to have a relationship with the study medication by the investigator. The severity of an AE is based on the investigator's clinical judgment.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants Achieving a Platelet Count Greater Than or Equal to 50 Giga Unit (10^9) Per Liter (Gi/L) and Less Than or Equal to 400 Gi/L [Baseline; Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, and 136; and last visit/early withdrawal visit (up to Day 982)]

      Platelet counts were measured by blood draw.

    2. Median Platelet Counts [Baseline; Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, and 136; and last visit/early withdrawal visit (up to Day 982)]

      Platelet counts were measured by blood draw.

    3. Percentage of Participants With a Given Maximum Number of Weeks of Continuous Platelet Count Evaluation Greater Than or Equal to 50 Gi/L and Greater Than or Equal to Twice the Baseline Count Categorized by Weeks on Study Medication (Med.) [From Baseline (Day 1) to last dose of eltrombopag/early withdrawal visit (up to 981 days)]

      Maximum continuous week (MCW) is measured as the longest period (weeks) for which a participant continuously maintained platelet counts greater than or equal to 50 Gi/L and greater than or equal to twice the Baseline count.

    4. Median Number of Maximum Continuous Weeks of Maintaining Platelet Counts Greater Than or Equal to 50 Gi/L and Greater Than or Equal to Twice the Baseline Count at Three-Month Intervals [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, and 30 months (13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78, 91, 104, 117, and 130 weeks)]

      Maximum continuous week is measured as the longest period (weeks) for which a participant continuously maintained platelet counts greater than or equal to 50 Gi/L and greater than or equal to twice the Baseline count.

    5. Percentage of Participants Experiencing Any Bleeding Episode After Dosing With Study Medication [Baseline; Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, and 136; and last visit/early withdrawal visit (up to Day 982)]

      Any bleeding(s) with an onset on or after the start date of study medication was recorded as a bleeding episode(s).

    6. Percentage of Participants With a Reduction in Use of Baseline Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) Medication [From Baseline (Day 1) to last dose of eltrombopag/early withdrawal visit (up to 981 days)]

      Concomitant ITP medications included drugs such as steroids and immunosuppressive drugs. Reduction of concomitant ITP medication was defined as a reduction in dose and/or frequency of administration.

    7. Percentage of Participants Initiating Rescue Medication/Treatment During On-Therapy [From Baseline (Day 1) to last dose of eltrombopag/early withdrawal visit (up to 981 days)]

      Rescue therapy included new ITP medication, an increased dose of a concomitant ITP medication from Baseline (B/L), platelet transfusion, and splenectomy.

    Pre-assignment Detail This study is an open-label, dose-adjustment extension study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of eltrombopag for the treatment of participants with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) who had previously been enrolled in eltrombopag trial TRA108109 (NCT00540423).
    Arm/Group Title Eltrombopag
    Arm/Group Description Participants took eltrombopag orally once daily in the fasted state at an individualized dose of 12.5 milligrams (mg), 25 mg, 37.5 mg, or 50 mg; the starting dose was the last dose in the prior eltrombopag study, TRA108109 (NCT00540423). Depending on the participant's platelet count (PC) at each visit, a dose modification guideline allowed participants to increase/reduce the dose or interrupt the eltrombopag treatment.

    5. Secondary Outcome
    Title Median Number of Maximum Continuous Weeks of Maintaining Platelet Counts Greater Than or Equal to 50 Gi/L and Greater Than or Equal to Twice the Baseline Count at Three-Month Intervals
    Description Maximum continuous week is measured as the longest period (weeks) for which a participant continuously maintained platelet counts greater than or equal to 50 Gi/L and greater than or equal to twice the Baseline count.
    Time Frame 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, and 30 months (13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78, 91, 104, 117, and 130 weeks)

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    FAS. The number of participants analyzed varies by category of months (weeks) on study medication because the duration of study medication differs among participants.
    Arm/Group Title Eltrombopag
    Arm/Group Description Participants took eltrombopag orally once daily in the fasted state at an individualized dose of 12.5 mg, 25 mg, 37.5 mg, or 50 mg; the starting dose was the last dose in the prior eltrombopag study, TRA108109 (NCT00540423). Depending on the participant's platelet count at each visit, a dose modification guideline allowed participants to increase/reduce the dose or interrupt the eltrombopag treatment.

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description

    Arm/Group Title Eltrombopag
    Arm/Group Description Participants took eltrombopag orally once daily in the fasted state at an individualized dose of 12.5 mg, 25 mg, 37.5 mg, or 50 mg; the starting dose was the last dose in the prior eltrombopag study, TRA108109 (NCT00540423). Depending on the participant's platelet count at each visit, a dose modification guideline allowed participants to increase/reduce the dose or interrupt the eltrombopag treatment.
