ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryHematologic Response Rate by 16 Weeks After the Initiation of EltrombopagBaseline up to Week 16
Hematologic response rate was defined as the percentage of participants who met the criteria of either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by Week 16. PR was defined when any of the following: Platelet count ≥ 20000/microliter(μL) (with platelet transfusion independence), absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1000/μL (when pretreatment ANC was \<1000/μL) and/or hemoglobin (Hb) ≥100 gram(g)/ liter(L) (when pretreatment Hb was \<100g/L) (with red blood cells transfusion independence), confirmed in two blood tests separated a minimum of 7 days. CR was defined when all of the following: platelet count ≥100000/μL, ANC ≥1500/μL (when pretreatment ANC was \<1000/μL) and Hb ≥110 g/L (when pretreatment Hb was \<100g/L), confirmed in two blood tests separated a minimum of 7 days. Participants who discontinued before Week 16 were considered as responders if, in the last evaluation, they had PR or CR. The 95% Confidence Interval (CI) was the binomial exact CI based on Clopper-Pearson method.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Who Had a Response in the Neutrophil LineageWeek 16, 20, 24, 30 and 36
Percentage of participants who had a response (partial or complete) in the neutrophil lineage. A partial response in the neutrophil lineage was defined as absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1000/ µL (when pretreatment ANC was \<1000/μL) confirmed in two consecutive blood tests separated a minimum of 7 days. A complete response in the neutrophil lineage was defined as ANC ≥ 1500/ µL (when pretreatment ANC was \<1000/μL) confirmed in two consecutive blood tests separated a minimum of 7 days. The 95% CI was the binomial exact CI based on Clopper-Pearson method
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Who Had a Response in the Platelet LineageWeek 16, 20, 24, 30 and 36
Percentage of participants who had a response (partial or complete) in the platelet lineage. A partial response in the platelet lineage was defined as platelet count ≥20000/µL (with platelet transfusion independence) confirmed in two consecutive blood tests separated a minimum of 7 days. A complete response in the platelet lineage was defined as platelet count ≥ 100000/µL confirmed in two consecutive blood tests separated a minimum of 7 days. The 95% CI was the binomial exact CI based on Clopper-Pearson method.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Who Had a Response in the Hemoglobin LineageWeek 16, 20, 24, 30 and 36
Percentage of participants who had a response (partial or complete) in the hemoglobin (Hb) lineage. A partial response in the Hb lineage was defined as Hb ≥100 g/L (when pretreatment Hb was \<100g/L) (with RBC transfusion independence), confirmed in two consecutive blood tests separated a minimum of 7 days. A complete response in the Hb lineage was defined as Hb≥ 110 g/L (when pretreatment Hb was \<100g/L) confirmed in two consecutive blood tests separated a minimum of 7 days. The 95% CI was the binomial exact CI based on Clopper-Pearson method.
SecondaryHematologic Response Rate at Week 24 and 36Week 24 and 36
Hematologic response rate was defined as the percentage of participants who met the criteria of either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) at 24 weeks and 36 weeks after the initiation of eltrombopag. PR was defined when any of the following: Platelet count ≥20000/microliter (μL) (with platelet transfusion independence), absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1000/μL (when pretreatment ANC was \<1000/μL) and/or hemoglobin (Hb) ≥100 gram (g)/ liter (L) (when pretreatment Hb was \<100g/L) (with red blood cells transfusion independence), confirmed in two blood tests separated a minimum of 7 days. CR was defined when all three of the following: platelet count ≥100000/μL, ANC ≥1500/μL (when pretreatment ANC was \<1000/μL) and Hb ≥110 g/L (when pretreatment Hb was \<100g/L), confirmed in two blood tests separated a minimum of 7 days. The 95% CI was the binomial exact CI based on Clopper-Pearson method.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Who Were Previously Platelet Transfusion-dependent and Did no Longer Require Platelet Transfusions After the Initiation of EltrombopagFrom start of treatment to end of treatment, assessed up to 36 weeks
Percentage of participants who received at least one platelet transfusion before starting treatment and who did no longer require platelet transfusion before and after the first 16 weeks of treatment. The 95% CI was the binomial exact CI based on Clopper-Pearson method.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Who Were Previously Red Blood Cells Transfusion-dependent and Did no Longer Require Red Blood Cells TransfusionsFrom start of treatment to end of treatment, assessed up to 36 weeks
Percentage of participants who received at least one red blood cells transfusion before starting treatment and who did no longer require red blood cells transfusion before and after the first 16 weeks of treatment. The 95% CI was the binomial exact CI based on Clopper-Pearson method.
SecondaryDuration of Transfusion IndependenceFrom start of treatment to end of treatment, assessed up to 36 weeksDuration of transfusion independence defined as the period of time where participants did not receive any platelet or red blood cells transfusions during the treatment period
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Who Discontinued or Reduced the Use of Concomitant Erythropoietin (EPO) TherapyFrom start of treatment to end of treatment, assessed up to Week 36
Percentage of participants who discontinued or reduced by ≥50% from baseline the use of concomitant EPO therapy while receiving eltrombopag. The 95% CI was the binomial exact CI based on Clopper-Pearson method.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Who Discontinued or Reduced the Use of Concomitant Granulocyte Colony-stimulating Factor (G-CSF) TherapyFrom start of treatment to end of treatment, assessed up to Week 36
Percentage of participants who discontinued or reduced by ≥50% from baseline the use of concomitant G-CSF therapy while receiving eltrombopag. The 95% CI was the binomial exact CI based on Clopper-Pearson method.
