Trial Outcomes & Findings for Phase I Study of Eltrombopag for Promoting Thrombopoiesis After Total Body Irradiation (NCT NCT00903929)

NCT ID: NCT00903929

Last Updated: 2016-05-05

Results Overview

The MTD was defined as the highest dose if no dose limiting toxicity was observed, or the highest dose at which less than one-third of the patients experienced toxicities not expected in the standard stem cell transplantation setting.

Measure
Eltrombopag 75 mg
Dose escalation was based on a standard 3+3 design. A group of 3 patients were enrolled at a given dose level; if none of these patients experienced dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), then the dose could be escalated. If 1 of the 3 patients experienced DLT, then 3 more patients would be enrolled at the same dose level. If no additional patients experienced a DLT, then dose escalation could occur, but if 2 or more of the 6 patients experienced a DLT, then that dose would be the MTD.
Eltrombopag 150 mg
Dose escalation was based on a standard 3+3 design. A group of 3 patients were enrolled at a given dose level; if none of these patients experienced dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), then the dose could be escalated. If 1 of the 3 patients experienced DLT, then 3 more patients would be enrolled at the same dose level. If no additional patients experienced a DLT, then dose escalation could occur, but if 2 or more of the 6 patients experienced a DLT, then that dose would be the MTD.
Eltrombopag 225 mg
Dose escalation was based on a standard 3+3 design. A group of 3 patients were enrolled at a given dose level; if none of these patients experienced dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), then the dose could be escalated. If 1 of the 3 patients experienced DLT, then 3 more patients would be enrolled at the same dose level. If no additional patients experienced a DLT, then dose escalation could occur, but if 2 or more of the 6 patients experienced a DLT, then that dose would be the MTD.
Eltrombopag 300 mg
Dose escalation was based on a standard 3+3 design. A group of 3 patients were enrolled at a given dose level; if none of these patients experienced dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), then the dose could be escalated.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1.5 years

The MTD was defined as the highest dose if no dose limiting toxicity was observed, or the highest dose at which less than one-third of the patients experienced toxicities not expected in the standard stem cell transplantation setting.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1.5 years

Determined for all participants who completed at least 75% of the planned doses. Platelet engraftment was as defined by the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research as the first of 3 consecutive days of a platelet count 20,000/mL without platelet trans-fusions for 7 days and/or the first day of a platelet count 100,000/mL without platelet transfusions for 7 days.
