Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Eltrombopag in Japanese Subjects With Refractory, Moderate or More Severe Aplastic Anemia (NCT NCT02148133)

NCT ID: NCT02148133

Last Updated: 2019-05-03

Results Overview

Hematologic response rate at 6 months (at WeeK 26) after the start of study treatment was defined as the percentage of subjects who met any of the response criteria (Platelet count, Hemoglobin level, Neutrophil count). 1 ) Platelet count: an increase from baseline by 20,000/μL or more (In the absence of platelet transfusion), or no platelet transfusion requirements for 8 weeks; 2) Hemoglobin: When the baseline hemoglobin level is \<9 g/dL: Without RBC transfusion at baseline, an increase from baseline by 1.5 g/dL or more; With RBC transfusion at baseline, a decrease of at least 4 units in RBC transfusions in the post-treatment 8-week period compared to the pre-treatment 8-week period (1 unit = RBC derived from 200 mL blood); 3) Neutrophil count: an increase from baseline by 500/μL or more (in the absence of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)), or (if \< 500/μL at baseline) an increase by 100 % or more. Only descriptive analysis done.

Participant Flow

The study took place in 12 clinical sites in Japan

The target number of subjects enrolled was 20. A total 36 subjects were screened and 21 were enrolled in the study. All 21 subjects enrolled received at least 1 dose of study treatment and were included in the planned analysis sets (full analysis set, safety population and pharmacokinetic population).

Eltrombopag
Subjects were assigned the investigational product (eltrombopag 25 mg/day) orally once a day under fasting condition. The dose adjustment was done every 2 weeks according to the platelet count (increased by eltrombopag 25 mg/day every 2 weeks according to the platelet count up to 100 mg/day).

Subjects were assigned the investigational product (eltrombopag 25 mg/day) orally once a day under fasting condition. The dose adjustment was done every 2 weeks according to the platelet count (increased by eltrombopag 25 mg/day every 2 weeks according to the platelet count up to 100 mg/day).
Time to Reach the Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) for Eltrombopag
2.00 Hour
Interval 1.9 to 7.58

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 14 at 25 mg QD (-0.05, 0.15, 0.30, 0.45, 1.00, 1.30 and 24.00), at 50,75 and 100 mg QD (pre-dose)

Population: Pharmacokinetic Analysis Set (PAS), which consisted of all participants with at least one valid PK concentration value, was considered.

At some study sites, full blood sampling for pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation of Eltrombopag was performed on Day 14 to calculate Cmax, tmax, AUC(0-t), and AUC(0-tau). PK parameters were calculated from plasma concentration-time data using non-compartmental methods.

Population: Pharmacokinetic Analysis Set (PAS), which consisted of all participants with at least one valid PK concentration value, was considered.

At every study center, blood samples was be collected on Day 15 of multiple doses of eltrombopag 25 mg to determine the plasma eltrombopag concentration prior to the next dose (trough concentration). In addition, one-point pre-dose blood sampling was performed at every study center on Day 15 of multiple doses of eltrombopag 50 mg, 75 mg and 100 mg to determine trough concentrations. PK parameters were calculated from plasma concentration-time data using non-compartmental methods.
