An Open-label Safety Study of Lusutrombopag (S-888711) in Adults With Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP)

An Open-label Safety Study of S-888711 in Adult Subjects With Relapsed Persistent or Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia With or Without Prior Splenectomy

The primary objective of this study was to assess the long-term safety of lusutrombopag in the treatment of adults with relapsed persistent or chronic ITP with or without prior splenectomy.

Study Overview

• Status: Terminated
• Conditions: Immune Thrombocytopenia
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Lusutrombopag

Detailed Description

This was an open-label, long-term safety study of lusutrombopag in the treatment of adults with relapsed persistent or chronic ITP with or without prior splenectomy. Patients who participate in this study must have completed the Phase 2 study 0913M0621 (NCT01054443), a double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study that evaluated the efficacy and safety lusutrombopag during which they either completed treatment or discontinued treatment due to a platelet count > 400,000/μL.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Lusutrombopag; Participants received lusutrombopag 0.5 mg administered orally once a day for up to 3 years or until study termination. The dose was adjusted based on platelet counts. If a subject's platelet count remained < 50,000/μL, the dose could have been increased by 0.25 mg up to a maximum dose of 2.0 mg.	Drug: Lusutrombopag; tablet; Other Names: S-888711; MULPLETA®

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Number of Participants With Adverse Events	An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered a pharmaceutical product during the course of a clinical investigation, including any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of an investigational product (IP), whether or not thought to be related to the IP. AEs reported after initial study drug administration were considered treatment-emergent. A serious adverse event is defined as any AE that resulted in death, was life-threatening, hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, a persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect or an important medical event that, based upon medical judgment, may jeopardize the participant or require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above. A treatment-related AE is any AE determined by the investigator to be possibly related, probably related, or definitely related to study drug.	From first dose of study drug in the extension study up to 6 weeks after last dose; median (range) time on study treatment was 148 (10-387) days.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Duration of Response	Duration of response was defined as the percentage of the cumulative time a platelet count was ≥ 50,000 cells/µL during the extension study.	From first dose of study drug in the extension study up to 6 weeks after last dose; median (range) time on treatment was 148 (10 - 387) days.
Number of Participants With Worst Severity of Bleeding Associated With ITP During the Treatment Period	Bleeding assessments were performed by the Investigator according to the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria bleeding scale: Grade 0: no bleeding; Grade 1: petechial bleeding; Grade 2: mild blood loss (clinically significant); Grade 3: gross blood loss, requires transfusion (severe); Grade 4: debilitating blood loss, retinal or cerebral associated with fatality. For each participant, the most severe WHO bleeding grade observed during the treatment period is reported.	Bleeding assessments were performed at Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, Months 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12, and every 3 months thereafter until end of treatment; median (range) time on treatment was 148 (10-387) days.
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Platelet Count of < 50,000 Cells/μL, Between 50,000 to 400,000 Cells/μL, and ≥ 400,000 Cells/μL	This analysis includes platelet counts measured during the treatment period, including while participants were taking rescue medications.	Platelets were assessed at Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, Months 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12, and every 3 months thereafter, until end of treatment; median (range) time on treatment was 148 (10-387) days.
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Platelet Count of < 50,000 Cells/μL, Between 50,000 to 400,000 Cells/μL, and ≥ 400,000 Cells/μL Without Rescue Medication	This analysis excludes platelet counts measured while the participant was taking rescue medications and during the 4 weeks after rescue medication.	Platelets were assessed at Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, Months 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12, and every 3 months thereafter, until end of treatment; median (range) time on treatment was 148 (10-387) days.
Change From Baseline in Platelet Counts at the Final Visit		Baseline and the final visit (If a subject had multiple platelet count measurements for the specific dose level due to dose adjustments, the final platelet count was used)
