Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Core study:

To compare the efficacy of avatrombopag (in addition to standard) of care to eltrombopag (in addition to standard of care) for the treatment of adult participants with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura [ITP]) as measured by durable platelet response.

Open-label Extension Phase:

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of long-term therapy with avatrombopag in participants with chronic ITP (cITP).

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

The study consists of three phases: Prerandomization, Randomization (Core Study) and Extension Phase. Participants 18 years of age and over, who meet all the eligibility requirements will be randomized into the study. It will require that splenectomized participants make up at least 35% of the study population and no single platelet count is greater than 35x109/L. Participants will be centrally stratified at randomization by splenectomy status, baseline platelet count, and use of concomitant ITP medication at baseline and randomized to receive either double-blind avatrombopag or eltrombopag in a 1:1 ratio. Participants will receive blinded therapy at a starting dose of 20 mg avatrombopag once daily or 50 mg eltrombopag once daily. Participants will be allowed to have their dose titrated up (maximum dose 40 mg avatrombopag and 75 mg for eltrombopag) or down (minimum dose 5 mg for avatrombopag and 25 mg for eltrombopag) depending on their response to study drug. The goal of dose modification is to maintain the platelet count at levels greater than or equal to 50x109/L and less than or equal to 150x10^9/L, and to decrease the need for ITP-directed concomitant medications. The duration of treatment in the Core study and the Extension Phase is approximately 26 and 104 weeks, respectively.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Avatrombopag (Core Study)

Avatrombopag will be administered orally as 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg or 40 mg in a flexible dose design for 26 weeks. Participants will receive blinded therapy at a starting dose of 20 mg avatrombopag, once daily and allow to have their dose titrated up (maximum dose of 40 mg avatrombopag) or down (minimum dose of 5 mg avatrombopag) depending on their response to study drug.

Drug: Avatrombopag
Other Names:
  • E5501
  • Avatrombopag maleate
  • Drug: Standard of care
    Permitted ITP concomitant background therapies are as follows: Corticosteroids and/or azathioprine taken at a stable dose for 4 weeks before randomization; Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) or danazol taken at a stable dose for at least 12 weeks before randomization; Cyclosporine A (CsA) (due to the fact that it is a P-glycoprotein-mediated transport [P-gp] inhibitor) is to be avoided unless deemed medically necessary; CsA taken at a stable dose for at least 12 weeks before randomization. At the discretion of the investigator, participants will be allowed to use aspirin, other salicylates, or approved adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor antagonists, (eg, clopidogrel, prasugrel) during the study once their platelet count had risen. Participants treated with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H2 antagonist therapy will receive a stable dose for at least 6 weeks prior to randomization. Treatment with these therapies must have been completed at least 2 weeks prior to randomization.

    Active Comparator: Eltrombopag (Core Study)

    Eltrombopag will be administered orally as 25 mg, 50 mg, or 75 mg in a flexible dose design for 26 weeks. Participants will receive blinded therapy at a starting dose of 50 mg eltrombopag once daily and allow to have their dose titrated up (maximum dose of 75 mg eltrombopag) or down (minimum dose of 25 mg eltrombopag) depending on their response to study drug.

    Drug: Eltrombopag
    Other Names:
  • Promacta
  • Revolade
  • Drug: Standard of care

    Experimental: Avatrombopag (Open-label Extension)

    Participants who meet the eligibility requirements for the Open-label Extension (OLE) Phase or who discontinue the Core Study early because of lack of treatment effect will be eligible to continue into the OLE Phase for up to 104 weeks of open-label avatrombopag therapy. Participants who enter the OLE from the Core Study will receive a starting dose of open-label avatrombopag which will be determined by the last dose of study drug at the End of Treatment (EOT) Visit (Visit 22) of the Core Study. Participants who discontinue the Core Study early because of lack of treatment effect and enter the OLE will receive open-label avatrombopag at a starting dose of 20 mg once daily of open-label avatrombopag.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in Local Platelet Count for the 6 Month Treatment Period [Day 5, Day 8, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 6, Week 8, Week 10, Week 12, Week 14, Week 16, Week 18, Week 19, Week 20, Week 22, Week 23, Week 24, Week 25, Week 26]

      Platelet responses to avatrombopag was evaluated using the platelet counts determined at local clinical laboratories. Only participants with non-missing data at both baseline and the relevant post-baseline visit are included in the change from baseline summary statistics. Standard deviation is not applicable for some of the categories, from Visit 14 to Visit 22, as the number of participants analyzed for that visit was 1 individual.
