This study allowed dosing of eltrombopag at an individualized dose for each subject based upon platelet count. The starting dose was based on the subject's dose at the end of the TRA115450 study. The maximum dose was 75 mg daily.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Eltrombopag TabletsDrug

    Eltrombopag tablets will be white, round film coated tablets containing eltrombopag olamine equivalent to 12.5 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 75 mg of eltrombopag. The 12.5 mg tablet will be smaller than the 25 mg, 50 mg and 75 mg tablets. Subjects will receive maximum dose of 75 mg once daily (QD).

  • Eltrombopag PfOSDrug

    Eltrombopag PfOS is a reddish-brown to yellow powder contained inside an elongated sachet. Each sachet will contain eltrombopag olamine equivalent to 20 mg of eltrombopag per gram of powder. Subjects will receive maximum dose of 75 mg once daily (QD)

EltrombopagExperimentalEligible subject will be allocated to 1 of 3 age-defined cohorts. Cohort 1: between 12 and 17 years old, Cohort 2: between 6 and 11 years old, and Cohort 3: between 1 and 5 years old. For Cohorts 1 and 2, eltrombopag tablets will be administered, however, subjects in Cohort 2 may use eltrombopag powder for oral suspension (Eltrombopag PfOS) if they have difficulty swallowing tablets and are receiving a dose of eltrombopag of < 40 mg. For Cohort 3, either eltrombopag tablets or PfOS will be administered.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Frequency of all adverse events (including Ophthalmic events) categorized using CTCAE toxicity grades and clinical laboratory test [ Time Frame: Up to Week 4 Follow-up period ] Clinical laboratory assessments and frequency of all adverse events, categorized using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) toxicity grades will present safety and tolerability endpoints

    Serious Adverse Events are below. See All Adverse Events in the following section for specifics

    No statistical analysis was planned for this primary outcome

    Measured: Up to week 4 follow up period

Model description
AEs were graded using the common toxicity criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) Version 4.03. If a patient reported more than one AE with the same preferred term (PT), the AE with the greatest severity was presented. If a patient reported more than one AE within the same primary system organ class (SOC), the patient was counted only once with the greatest severity at the SOC level, where applicable. An AE with missing CTCAE grade was included in the 'All grades' column of the summary tables. In AE summaries, the primary SOC was presented alphabetically and the PTs were sorted within the primary SOC in descending frequency.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Eltrombopag Tablets and Eltrombopag PfOS in people with Purpura, Thrombocytopenic, Idiopathic, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 3 sites in Russia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Russia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (time frame: Up to week 4 follow up period). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
