Efficacy and Safety Study of Eltrombopag in Pediatric Patients With Thrombocytopenia From Chronic Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP)

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Phase II, multi-center, 3 part, staggered cohort, open-label and double blind, randomized, placebo controlled study involving 3 age-determined cohorts (Cohort 1: between 12 and 17 years old; Cohort 2: between 6 and 11 years old; Cohort 3: between 1 and 5 years old). Daily dosing with eltrombopag will begin with 5 patients in the oldest age cohort in an open label fashion, and a review of safety, pharmacokinetic and platelet count data will be performed regularly. If no safety concerns are identified after 12 weeks, 18 additional patients will be randomised to placebo or eltrombopag (2:1 randomisation). After 7 weeks of randomized treatment, all patients will receive eltrombopag in an open label fashion. The total duration of treatment with eltrombopag will be 24 weeks. If at the time of the aforementioned 12 week review of the first 5 patients no safety issues are identified, dosing will begin in the next lower age cohort with an initial group of 5 patients. The same procedure will be followed in terms of safety review and subsequent enrolment and randomisation of the additional patients. Initiation of the younger age cohort will take place once data from the previous has been evaluated. Doses will be adjusted according to platelet counts and tolerability. The study will include a review of the safety data by a Data Safety Monitoring Board.

A 95% confidence interval was calculated by the exact binomial method. | From Day 8 up to Day 43 of Part 2 | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Percentage of Participants Achieving Platelet Counts >=50Gi/L During Treatment With Eltrombopag in >= 60% of Assessments Between Day 15 and Day 43 (Weeks 2 Through 6) of the Randomized Treatment Period (Part 2) | Sustained platelet response between the treatment groups was assessed by determining the number of participants who achieved a platelet count >=50 Gi/L during treatment with eltrombopag in >= 60% of assessments between Day 15 and Day 43 in the absence of rescue treatment were reported here. | Between Day 15 and Day 43 of Part 2 | 
| Weighted Mean Platelet Count | The weighted mean platelet count is defined as the area under the platelet-time curve divided by the duration of the treatment (12 weeks).

PK samples were collected within 3 hours prior to dosing and 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours after dosing. Doses were normalized to 50mg for comparison. PK samples were collected at each on-treatment visit during Part 1, Part 2, and Part 2/3. The concentration data were pooled across visits to identify population PK and variability parameter estimates and covariate effects. AUC(0-t) is defined as the area under the concentration-time curve over the dosing interval. From the final model, a single value of AUC(0-t) was estimated for each subject, and geometric mean (95% CI) values are presented for each cohort for a 50mg dose. | From Day 1 of treatment up to Study Week 31 |

The concentration data were pooled across visits to identify population PK and variability parameter estimates and covariate effects. From the final model, a single value of tmax was estimated for each subject, and geometric mean (95% CI) values are presented for each cohort for a 50mg dose. | From Day 1 of treatment up to Study Week 31 |

The concentration data were pooled across visits to identify population PK and variability parameter estimates and covariate effects. From the final model, a single value of CL/F was estimated for each subject, and geometric mean (95% CI) values are presented for each cohort for a 50mg dose. | From Day 1 of treatment up to Study Week 31 | 
| Maximum Duration for Which a Participant Continuously Maintained a Platelet Count of >=50 Gi/L During the 7 Weeks of Eltrombopag Treatment in Part 2 | The maximum duration for which a participant continuously maintained a platelet count >=50 Gi/L in the absence of rescue treatment was calculated and summarized during the 24 weeks of eltrombopag treatment in Part 2. Participants with non-weekly assessments were assumed to have maintained a positive response for each week between two assessments that had positive responses. If a particpant achieved a positive response at an assessment and then achieved a negative response at the next assessment, then it was assumed that the participant had achieved a positive response for one day. Excludes periods from initiation of rescue medication until platelet count falls to below 50Gi/L, irrespective of platelet count | From Baseline through Week 7 of Part 2 |

UG results were categorized as MS, NR, Neg, normal, 5, 15(1+), 30(2+), 60(3+), 110(4+)UK parameters were categorized as as MS, NR, Neg, Trace(5), Small(15), Moderate(40), Large(80), Large(160). UOB parameters were categorized as MS, NR, Neg, 1+, 2+, 3+, Non haemolysed trace, and haemolysed trace. PH results were categorized as MS. NR, normalresult, Neg, and range of pH (from 5-9in increments of 0.5). Data for indicated parameters was reported at Baseline (BL) and Week 24 (W24). The Baseline value was the measurement taken at Day 1. | Baseline and Week 24 of Part 2/3 up to Study Week 31 | 
| Number of Participants With Any Adverse Event (AE) or Serious Adverse Event (SAE) During Part 1 | An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability or incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly or birth defect. Medical or scientific judgment should be exercised in other situations. | From Treatment + 1 day up to Week 24 of Part1 | 
| Number of Participants With Any Adverse Event (AE) or Serious Adverse Event (SAE) During Part 2 | An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability or incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly or birth defect. Medical or scientific judgment should be exercised in other situations. | From Treatment + 1 day up to Week 7 of Part 2 | 
| Number of Participants With Any Adverse Event (AE) or Serious Adverse Event (SAE) During Part 2/3 | An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability or incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly or birth defect.

| Number of Participants With a Change in Visual Acuity and a Change Due to Worsening of Cataracts During Part 1 | The visual acuity assessment was performed by an ophthalmologist or an optometrist under the guidance of an ophthalmologist. Visual acuity is defined as acuteness or clearness of vision. The number of participants with a change in visual acuity and worsening visual acuity due to cataracts since Baseline are presented for Part 1 Follow-up Visits at 3-months (FU3) and at 6-months (FU6). Change in visual acuity since Baseline is displayed under the left eye but applies to both eyes. Change in visual acuity (VA) is categorized as yes or no. Change due to cataracts is categorized as yes or no. | Baseline, 3and 6-mo Follow-up of Part 1 | 
| Number of Participants With a Change in Visual Acuity and a Change Due to Worsening of Cataracts | The visual acuity assessment was performed by an ophthalmologist or an optometrist under the guidance of an ophthalmologist. Visual acuity is defined as acuteness or clearness of vision. Number of participants with a change in visual acuity and change in visual acuity due to the worsening of cataracts since Baseline are presented for Part 2/3 Follow-up Visits at 3-months (FU3) and 6-months (FU6). Change in visual acuity since Baseline is displayed under the left eye but applies to both eyes. Change in visual acuity (VA) is categorized as yes or no. Change due to cataracts is categorized as yes or no. | BL, 3 and 6mo Follow-up of Part 2/3 |
