What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants Experiencing an Adverse Event (AE) and/or Serious Adverse Event (SAE) Within the Indicated Category
Time Frame: 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.
From Baseline (Day 1) to last dose of eltrombopag/early withdrawal visit (up to 981 days)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
