Abstract:
:Eltrombopag is a thrombopoietin-receptor agonist that stimulates platelet production and increases platelet counts in patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). This open-label, single-arm study evaluated consistency of response and safety following repeated intermittent dosing of eltrombopag 50 mg daily over 3 cycles (1 cycle = up to 6 weeks on therapy followed by up to 4 weeks off therapy). The primary endpoint was proportion of patients with a response (platelet count ≥50 × 10(9) /l and ≥2× baseline) in Cycle 1 who subsequently responded in Cycle 2 or 3. Fifty-two of 65 evaluable patients (80%) responded in Cycle 1; these responding patients comprised the primary analysis population. Of these, 45/52 (87%) responded in Cycle 2 or 3 [95% confidence interval (CI), 74-94%] and 34/48 (71%; 95% CI, 56-83%) responded in both Cycles 2 and 3. Time to response was consistent, with >50% of responders responding by Day 8 in each cycle. Bleeding rates relative to baseline decreased by approximately 50% during each treatment cycle. The frequency or severity of adverse events, most commonly headache, did not increase over successive cycles. If a chronic ITP patient not requiring consistent therapy responds to short-term eltrombopag, then subsequent courses of eltrombopag, as needed, are likely to be safe and effective.
